My husband and I had a great stay at this cabin. It was in a good location. We had a good 10min walk to the main road and down to the main store. We did get a bear in front of our cabin while we were there so beware. You do have to step down to get into the living room then step back up to go to the bedroom and bathroom. Just know this for older people but it had everything you needed for your stay! We definitely recommend this cabin. It was very clean and the bed was comfortable.

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!

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.

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.
