Room was clean breakfast was good. It was a quiet place to stay. You can hear the traffic but they provided a noise machine to sleep with so we didn’t notice any traffic noise at night. Bed was comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

Rooms are very nice. Spacious bathroom and sitting area. Great view of the Tennessee River. You are literally a walk away from Ruby Falls. The Inn is on Lookout mountain. Great place for families to rent out and have it to themselves. Only 10 rooms, so get to staying. Each room has a bed, sitting area, small fridge/freezer, coffee maker and large screen TV.

Expedia should no allow this property to come up in the hotels section. It is managed like an Airbnb. Expedia confirmed my booking on the app. They did not mention check is via email. I got to the property without any way to check in. Resulted in having to book another real hotel with real staff. Good luck getting a refund. I was supposed to have called a phone number which I didn't have. What a bother.

We enjoyed a relaxing overnight stay at the Riverview Inn. The property has a charming, historic feel, and definitely fits the “rustic retreat” vibe. The view overlooking the river and mountains is breathtaking. We especially loved sitting in the rocking chairs (really nice touch) on the balcony and using the hot tub while watching the river bend below. Breakfast the next morning was surprisingly good, with warm options and thoughtful touches. Future guests should know that the inn is located close to I-24, so there is some highway noise. There is a Publix and a Walgreens at the foot of the mountain which was very convenient. It's also located just down from Ruby Falls. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the atmosphere overall was quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed the abundance of pillows on the bed, the fluffy white robes, and the in-room Keurig complete with coffee pods, sweeteners, and creamers. The Roku TV was really nice as well, as we could log in to our personal streaming services. If you’re looking for a cozy, charming place to unwind and enjoy the scenery, especially as a couple’s getaway, this is a lovely spot. We’re glad we stayed.
