    Gorgeous Getaway

    October 08, 2012

    River Lodge is by far the best B&B we have stayed in. The location on the river is idyllic, the lodge is beautiful, the food was delicious and artfully prepared and the owners gracious and accommodating.

    The Smoky Mountains are wonderful and this B&B just added to that experience. It is a beautiful place that makes you want to stay there instead of heading out to the mountains. The food was great and served up by the innkeepers who were one of the most pleasant things about our stay.

    The Best!!

    August 07, 2011

    We spent our anniversary week-end at The River Lodge and it was definitely outstanding in every way. Anthony and Cathy, the Innkeepers, felt like family by the time we left and we did not want to leave. I would recommend it to anyone. Linda Benfield, Gastonia, NC

    A Truly Wonderful Experience

    August 07, 2011

    We spent 3 nights at The River Lodge and had a truly wonderful experience in every way. The innkeepers, Cathy and Anthony, make you feel as though you are pampered guests in their beautiful, rustic home. The grounds are immaculate, the rooms and common areas are beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean, and the breakfasts are AMAZING. We couldn't have asked for more!
