My new go-to spot!

The river views were super chill, and the staff was super friendly! Room was clean and cozy. Plus, there’s plenty of space by the river to hang out in the evenings. The only thing was the walk to downtown was a bit longer than I’d prefer. Can't wait to come back!

The beautiful river view from the room was breathtaking.

The driveway entrance was a bit tricky to navigate.

Idyllic riverfront setting.

The cabin was not prepared upon arrival, leaving us in an uncomfortably hot environment. We couldn't stay as it was simply too hot. the lack of preparedness really ruined our vacation experience.

The river view was stunning, but the cabin wasn't prepared for our arrival.

Stayed at Riverbend Lodging for six nights. The location near downtown Bryson City offered easy access to shops and eateries. The view of the river was stunning. Enjoyed relaxing by the riverbank on the deck. The room was clean and comfortable, providing a cozy atmosphere. Owners, Melissa and Rod, impressed me with their daily check-ins and genuine friendliness. They responded promptly to my needs and gave great local dining recommendations. Great Smoky Train ride was a highlight for us. A few minor issues included limited shelf space in the bathroom, which made organizing toiletries a bit challenging. Overall, we had an enjoyable time and would return again for the friendly service and beautiful setting.

the location of riverbend lodging motel is fantastic. it’s right on the river, and mornings spent watching the water are truly peaceful. the room was spacious and clean, with lovely wall art reflecting local sights. the owner recommended some great dining spots, and the relaxing river vibes were just perfect!

the beds were a bit too soft for my liking, but overall, would recommend.

Here’s why it’s a mixed review

The location is perfect with serene river views! Spacious rooms allowed for comfort but the beds felt a bit too soft for my taste.

Pricing deserves a rethink—some amenities were lacking and the hot water was slow to arrive. Limited bathroom shelf space was a nuisance.

The Riverbend Lodging Motel provided a spacious, clean room for my business stay. The king bed was comfortable, and the two recliners in the room were perfect for relaxing after a long day of work. The calming view of the river from the large window added to the tranquility, making it easier to unwind. The staff was efficient in assisting with my queries and provided excellent local dining recommendations.

The driveway entrance was a bit tricky to navigate.

Cozy, Cozy, Cozy

The river view from my room was amazing-it felt like a painting come to life with every glance. I loved relaxing in the double recliners after a day of exploring, the perfect spot to sip coffee while soaking in the tranquil sounds of the flowing water. Plus, the personal touch from the owners. Their local dining recommendations were a highlight of my stay!

Spacious room, beautiful view, with a calming atmosphere by the river where I enjoyed my morning coffee. the reclining chairs made for a perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring.

Absolutely satisfied

This place was an excellent fit for taking strolls in Bryson City with a great value-to-price ratio. The King Room with River View was very clean and the owners made us feel right at home. Make sure to enjoy the beautiful river views in the morning.

very clean lodging but tricky driveway

The room was impressively clean, surpassing many places I've stayed at. I particularly appreciated the seating area by the river, making for a relaxing evening watching the sunset. The double recliners in the King Room were a delightful surprise, providing comfort I wasn’t expecting.

The driveway entrance can be tricky to navigate.
