The motel was perfect for our short stay in Gatlinburg. The hosts were super nice and the little cabin style rooms were clean and very well taken care of. The “bear” motive was a cute little detail that we encountered across the property.

Absolutely beautiful being next to a running creek just listening to it was so relaxing. Only spoke to what I believe is the owner of the property and she was an absolutely wonderful woman. The room was very clean, we opted for a smoking room with a Jacuzzi tub which was absolutely wonderful for my girl. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend to all

Absolutely loved the private balcony, the river view. Quiet peaceful. But also close enough to walk to town. Sitting on the balcony in morning seeing Eagle in tree by the river and then he was joined by his mate it was so beautiful. May never see that again so that was awesome. Along with the ducks in the river every morning. The quiet peaceful nights resting on balcony . Clean rooms . Great location. My sister and myself enjoyed our stay . Thank you Rivergate Mountain Lodge

This is old style motor lodge right beside the river. Staff is easy to deal with and the room was very comfortable. Don't expect resort sytle accomidations but it's great little place to rest your head for the night.

Good value. Clean, within walking distance to the conference center and plenty of places to eat. Love that the Pancake house was right beside the motel. It’s not the newest but all I needed.

Typical motel on the road near all Cherokee attractions and shops. The balcony overlooking the Oconaluftee River is very relaxing and we were able to sleep with the balcony door open without AC, which we really enjoyed. We went to the open air theater and the Cherokee village, the Qualla shop has authentic handicrafts, the others sell Chinese stuff.
