10 Best River front hotels in Pigeon Forge
Pigeon Forge – 10 Best River front hotels

Of the ten best Pigeon Forge hotels on the river, only one has actual access, seating, an acre of meadow,  a fire-pit, and rocking chairs, and fishing on the river here in Pigeon Forge. Oh yes, birds and trees. Lots of birds and trees.

1. Arbors at Island Landing on the River Hotel – Pigeon Forge
   http:/arborshotel.com
   Hotel on the river with river-side balcony rooms. The hotel has a one acre river front meadow with games, seating on river to watch the herons fish, the geese flock by, the mallard ducks discover, and the beaver to cut down. Yes, we have a local beaver. The firee pit hosts weekend bob-fires with marshmallow toasting.

2. Inn on the River

   A narrow verge along the river. No sitting, no fire-pit, no games. Some rooms do have balconies overlooking the river. Well run.

3. Riverside Motor Lodge
   http://www.riversidemotorlodge.net/
   No river frontage even though they do say they are river-side. Affordable stand-by motel
4. Riverside Tower
   http://www.riversidehotels.com/
   Again no real river access. Just a place to “see” it.

5. Econo Lodge Riverside

   There is a small area by the river that has been hardscaped with benches and rocks. Its is adjacent to the back parking area.

6. River Lodge – has no website of its own that we can fine

   No real river-front experience, just a place to access it.

7. River Bend

   Vires of the river from nice balconies but no actual river access.

8. Riverstone
   http://www.riverstoneresort.com/
   One of our three 3.5 to 4 star resorts in Pigeon Forge
   Actually, no river access at this Pigeon Forge resort. They do have a fake river that flows into their “lazy river”.

9. Accommodations by Willowbrook
   http://www.willowbrooklodge.com/
   Actually there is no river frontage. The hotel is not anymore “on the river.
   The area has been taken over by the in-door pool.
