Tranquility at it’s finest

Amazing views out the back balcony of the roaring river. Gatlinberg is a bit chaotic and it was nice to come back to the tranquil room and listen to the river with a nightcap. Never heard another soul.

View from the balcony!

I was looking for a nice quiet room to stay for a trip to the GRSM. This place was great! As a camper, it was a nice change to have a beautiful natural scene out the back balcony and then the comfort of 4 walls and a bed without sleeping rough. What a treat! Close to the park. Gatlinburg a bit much for me but looks like it would be great for families and couples. Room was well furnished and the staff was friendly. Would recommend!

The check-in person met us at our car and then took us to our room. He had wine delivered and they also brought ice. Very nice and helpful. Loved the balcony over the river. We sat outside for several hours just enjoying the water. So relaxing. Would love to stay here again.

An amazing hotel, with amazing views.

My stay was only overnight, but it couldn’t have been any more perfect. From the helpful and kind innkeeper to the large shower and king size comfortable bed, the evening could have been any better. My advice, make reservations for the connecting restaurant. Dinner and drinks with a minutes walk is what I’m now expecting from all my vacation lodging. Thank you for helping me make my partners birthday special. 😊

I was very impressed with this little gem. A bit unconventional but the check in was very easy. They met us in the driveway and gave us all the information we needed. Being by the water is so relaxing. It’s situated a block from where the main section of Gatlinburg so it’s quiet but within walking distance of the busy, commercialized town. I highly recommend this place.

Very pleasantly surprised. The rooms were super private with unobstructed views of the river. The room was very clean, the soaps and shampoo and conditioner were high quality. Robes and slippers were provided as well as coffee. The staff were so accommodating and friendly. I even got to see a black bear directly across the river from my room, taking a drink in the river!

Such a beautiful property. Our room 112 was right at the rocky rapids. Loved the sound and watching it from the lovely balcony. The dining room and bar are wonderful. Food was great as was the service. Ask for a table at the window to enjoy the small river. Loved everything about Rocky Waters. Great location, beautiful room and bathroom.
