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.

Fantastic experience right in the heart of Gatlinburg! Very friendly staff, clean, and good service! My only complaints is that the parking is tight (expected considering the area) and our shower drain was a bit clogged.

Amazing stay!!

So wonderful! The Inn is away from the main street, but still in the middle of everything. Amazingly quiet though. Beautiful river outside the door. Warm fireplace. Really a gem. Great staff. We felt pampered! Wonderful stay in the beautiful Smokeys!
