Where you'll be
Description
Located in a forested mountain valley, Amazing River Retreat is right on the bank of the trout-stocked Little Pigeon River. From the lodge’s two spacious wraparound decks you’ll hear the soothing burble of the waters rushing over the rocks. Along with the rustling of the breeze through the trees, the singing of warblers and thrushes during the day, and the chirping of crickets at night, it serves as ideal background music. Whether you’re enjoying breakfast at the main deck’s patio table, cooking dinner on the charcoal grill, or perhaps best of all, lazing in the lower deck’s hot tub, you can savor the soothing soundtrack.
You can revel in the views from inside the lodge as well, courtesy of the great room’s double-height wall of windows. The sunlight streaming in shows off the hand-rubbed light pine floors, walls and vaulted ceiling to perfection.
There’s space for everyone to gather on the great room’s well-cushioned leather seating, whether it’s to watch the big game on TV or play charades in the glow of the stone-surround fireplace. The great room also hosts the dining area, which includes a gorgeous wood-and-wrought-iron table that seats six. Another four people can sit at the adjacent breakfast bar. If you’re vacationing with another family, set up the kids at the breakfast bar. They’ll love eating “on their own” while the adults linger over their meal at the table.
Speaking of meals, the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare a cordon bleu feast or simply to reheat leftovers from the previous night’s restaurant meal. From a refrigerator with ice maker to a dishwasher, we’ve got you covered!
Downstairs you’ll find the game room, the perfect hangout for kids and adults alike. You can choose between shooting pool at the full-size billiard table or play foosball. Or you can stretch out on one of the so comfortable couches and watch a movie on TV—Amazing River Retreat receives plenty of satellite channels, including Showtime. The washer and dryer are conveniently located just off the game room, so you can do laundry while you lounge.
Just as the game room takes up nearly all of the downstairs, the primary suite makes up the entire loft level. The bedroom is huge, with a king-size bed, a desk, a sitting area, a flat-screen TV and a wealth of storage. Add to that the vaulted ceiling, the en-suite bathroom, and the magnificent view, and you have a haven you might never want to leave.
The other two bedrooms on the main floor are just as comfortable.. One bedroom has a queen bed and other bedroom has a King Bed, a TV, a ceiling fan and plenty of storage. If you need additional sleeping quarters, the sofa in the game room opens into beds for two, enabling Amazing River Retreat to accommodate eight people in all.
When you’re not fishing for trout in the river that’s right outside your door, there’s plenty more to do in the area. Amazing River Retreat is no more than a half-hour drive from the attractions of both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. You can explore the wildlife, wildflowers and waterfalls of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park one day, the rides and attractions of Dollywood the next, and the galleries, shops and studios of the Gatlinburg Arts and Crafts Loop the day after that.
No matter how you spend your days, you’ll love returning to the tranquility of Amazing River Retreat. It’s really a fabulous place for relaxing body and soul. So, what are you waiting for? Book your stay today—we look forward to seeing you!

The home has an incredible location on the stream, secluded, yet only a 12-15 minute drive into main strip of Gatlinburg. The WiFi needs to be updated however as it is very “hit and miss.” StarLink would solve the issue as the rental next door has it and we used theirs.

The cabin/condo suited us well. We had most everything we needed, except for a broom and some minor cleaning supplies which would’ve been handy. Also, it would’ve been very helpful if we had been allowed to load and unload and enter the cabin through the garage. This would’ve saved some time and effort in the loading and unloading process. All in all, we had a very pleasant stay and would return again.

Beautiful cabin away from the crowds but very accessible. Our kids loved the spacious cabin, the creek, and the woods. We loved the fully equipped kitchen and easy access to the Park and Gatlinburg.

We enjoyed the entire stay-the home is exactly like advertised and the view of the river was perfect. The basement had fooseball and a pool table plus a comfy leather couch and a great place to hang out. The kitchen was stocked with pans and dishes but I would highly recommend bringing spices, tupperware and baggies if you plan on cooking and having leftovers. The leather sofas in the family room and the recliner were exceptional! We are a big blanket family so if you are the same, you will need to bring some blankets to cozy up on the couches with. The view, the space, the atmosphere, the location, the upkeep of the home were all awesome! We loved it. We needed a getaway to relax, get off the beaten path and just be. And it was everything we needed. I highly recommend the home-you won't be disappointed.
