Gentleman at the front desk was extremely accommodating. Beautiful plants outside of the motel was inviting & reminded me of a cozy front porch. My motel room was reminiscent of an older home but in a great way! If you were to visit your grandma's house. Very nostalgic. Room was clean. Beds were clean. Quiet area close to Cherokee Casino(10 minute straight, short drive) Room was priced great! Easily accessible to main road. Felt safe & sercure during our 2 night trip. I would definitely recommend staying.

Loved the location! Beautiful area at the river, with old fashioned gliders and a swing. People were grilling out and there was a fire pit. Don’t expect luxury it’s pretty rustic and could use some sprucing up outside (doors were all weathered and peeling paint) but inside was pretty good. The bathroom looked like it had been redone recently. No hairdryer. Small coffee maker makes about 2 cups. Bed was pretty comfortable pillows were kinda flat and there were only two. Parking right outside the door so that was convenient. Had to ring doorbell about three times waited about 5 minute for owners to come and let us in to check in but after that it was ok. Might stay again. Loved the view enough to visit again.

The motel itself was nothing like the pictures on the website, The building is VERY worn and in desperate need of painting, and remodeling, huge space under the peeling painted door entrance. The Metal chairs in front of each room we’re all rusted and terribly faded with hardly any paint on them. Pics attached. If they were just invest in some paint, it wouldn’t be half as bad. Had we not gotten there so late I would’ve looked for another place to stay, but we did stay just three days and left. Definitely not the charming place, I had hoped it would have been.
Chairs were all rusted and in need of paint did not take pictures of carpet, but that needed to be replaced as well, but on a brighter note, the place was pretty clean inside just terribly dated fixtures and furniture everywhere !
Paint peeling off of the door so unsightly, and huge space under the door when closed

The picture on the web site listed the rooms on the river-was disappointed that there were only 4 on the river. But we were lucky to get a room. We were visiting family so it wasn't far to drive. I think the room could use a bit of updating. The sofa arms were totally worn and dirty looking.

We did the Great Smokey Mountains Railroad and originally planned to drive home after. However, I was tired, so we looked for somewhere nearby for the night and found Two Rivers. Even though I made the reservation last minute they were ready for me and check-in was quick and easy. We relaxed by the river before a good nights sleep. I would stay here again.

No thanks.

Before booking ratings were listed as outstanding. Better word would be adequate. Very outdated facilities. Lodge is next to a dog kennel so we were greeted each of our two mornings by a chorus of loud barking dogs at about 6 am. Dirty ashtray on the front stoop sitting area. Flimsy towels. For the price we paid for two nights it was very overpriced. Would not recommend.
