Disliked: Cleanliness
CONS: VERY DUSTY ( if you have allergies-this is not the place for you, dirty dishes in the cabinets(to their credit they refunded the cleaning fee) and patio furniture cushions were not fit to sit in. Empty bags of charcoal strewn at the front door . Not one hanger in the closet and only 1 very small antique dresser barely large enough to fit one persons clothes. Bathroom is VERY dark with only one decorative light above the sink. Stairs up to the cabin have very jagged edges(slate) -personally I wouldn’t find safe for either elderly or children . There was some type of critter either in the walls or attic (chewing kept us awake one evening of our stay. Also notice of toxic plugs utilized if you or pets have adverse reactions. PRO: Quiet dead end location along the river where we saw bears daily up close and personal /very cool. Very nice older cabin. Walking distance is about 15 minutes to ANAKEESTA AND AQUARIUM. Price was very reasonable for the area. It was a lovely place to stay with the exceptions listed as CON’s. OVERALL RATING: 7/10

Cozy, convenient, quiet, and great place to stay. We saw bears almost every day and hot tub was great. Parking could be better but I’m not sure they could do anything about it. Over all we are already planning our next trip

We had a great stay at this cabin in Gatlinburg! The inside was very clean and well kept, and honestly, it exceeded our expectations. I would definitely update the photos on the listing. The location was also perfect. It’s tucked away enough that you don’t feel like you’re right in the middle of the busy strip, but still close enough that you don’t have to drive far to get anywhere.If I had one small complaint, it would be that the porch area could have been cleaned a bit better. There were quite a few leaves and twigs, which made it a little tricky keeping things out of the hot tub.Overall though, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider coming back and staying at the Riverside Princess.

The host is the BEST! She is caring and personable and is very helpful. The Riverside Princess isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience, and without question, one of my absolute favorites.Tucked away in the heart of Gatlinburg, this charming retreat offers the rare combination of peaceful riverside serenity and unbeatable convenience. The soothing sound of the rushing water sets the tone the moment you arrive, creating an atmosphere that instantly slows life down and invites you to breathe, relax, and truly unwind.Inside, the home is warm, inviting, and thoughtfully designed for comfort. Whether it’s morning coffee by the river, cozy evenings after a day exploring the Smokies, or simply enjoying the calm that surrounds the property, Riverside Princess delivers every time. It feels personal, welcoming, and effortlessly comfortable—like a place that understands exactly what a getaway should be.The location is exceptional: close enough to enjoy all that Gatlinburg has to offer, yet far enough removed to feel like your own private escape. It’s the perfect balance of adventure and tranquility.This is a property I return to with confidence and affection. Every stay reminds me why it remains my favorite—consistent, relaxing, beautiful, and memorable in all the best ways. If you’re looking for a stay that feels special from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave, Riverside Princess is it.

This cabin is very nice but is not for older tenants. Too many tiers and fall risks within the cabin. The location is premium. The sounds of the river were the best features of the stay and the cabin was quiet. It may not be in season but we were lucky.Parking was fine for one vehicle. In Gatlinburg parking is challenging. The kitchen was adequate for a cabin and the fridge was large enough for two.We enjoyed the stay and would recommend this cabin for those wishing to stay within walking distance to town.We did, ages up to 66 yrs.

It’s a lovely cabin! We didn’t get to use the hot tub or sauna because we were so busy with friends, that’s the only regret. The running river was a plus! We will be back!

The cabin needs a DEEP CLEAN. Curtains were dirty, window blinds are broken, cobwebs in window sills, pots and pan need replaced skillet was burnt and unusable. The shower could use a grab bar for stability.The steps were difficult for us but we are seniors.We did not use the hot tub.The best thing about the cabin was the deck overlooking the river.

The Chalet was the same as the pics provided on the website, which was very nice. Overall it was clean, except for some cobwebs and dust but I realize it is in the woods. We loved having the creek beside us and seeing all the bears! Everyone from beginning to end was wonderful in communicating! We had a great stay and would highly recommend this property to anyone!!!

Nice little cabin close to downtown. We loved the hot tub and saw a bear which was cool. Unfortunately the garbage dumpster pickup was at 3 am twice during our stay so that’s pretty loud. They do need to replace their fitted sheet as it is one of those that pops off when you move. Also beware of the steps down into living area next to bathroom and kitchen. Nice smart TVs in living and bed rooms.

My husband and i enjoyed our stay very much. The chalet was perfect for us! The river was so peaceful flowing and we enjoyed the hot tub as well. We even had a local 4 legged greeter that made our trip exciting! Cannot wait to come back!
My husband took this picture. He shewed him away but he decided to climb the wall and greet me too.
This is on the backside of the chalet. They just like to see what's going on. Had no problems with them. They left us alone. They are very curious animals
My husband and our dog.
He crossed our path and got in the river. Id have to say I enjoyed the bears more than anything.

SILVANA C., Hilton head island

The location is great, right in downtown.The cabin is ok but the musty smells is bad, need a good clean especially on windows, needs a new mattress ASAP, shower it was good. Is to dark, need more lights. They provided only towels and only one toilet paper. We only used the place for sleep, you cant stay longer inside because the musty smell. No dishwasher but they provide detergent to clean your plates manually. We drove in a 3500 pick up, it was no parking spot for us so we had to park by the dumpster, 2:00 am on Saturday the trash truck came and we had to relocate our truck because is no room in the area, plus is a motel next to it full of cars. No recommend it if u have a big vehicle which is not in the property description.

Mid week stay

Overall the cabin and appliances were very clean. The lighting coyld be improved by the removal of dusty red curtains. The decorations on the fireplace should be removed due to dust. Only 3 towels were provided for our 3 night stay with 2 guests which required me to purchase laundry detergent and spend time doing laundry which otherwise would have been avoided.

Anniversary getaway

Overall very happy with our stay at the Riverside Princess! The cabin was in a good location, next to the relaxing river and close to town, and was very clean upon arrival. Just a few suggestions: the cabin needs more towel hooks, between a sauna, hot tub and shower, there are literally no hooks to dry your towels, and I would also be more forthcoming in the ad about the amount of steps up to the cabin. It was fine for us, but if someone wasn’t prepared, it could definitely cause some complaints. Again, overall a very positive experience, we would stay here again.
