We had the best time! This place is so cute & bare bones. The rooms were clean, water was hot, towels were soft, mini fridge was cold & the grounds were clean & manicured. It’s not a fancy big hotel it’s a mom & pop owned & operated. They live on property so everything is great! If you like nostalgic places check it out! We will definitely be back!

This is a solid budget option if you just need a place to sleep. The rooms are clean but definetly outdated, and there are not many extras.
A nice bonus is that some rooms have a riverside view, which adds a bit of charm. You can even fish by the banks or sit by the firepit to relax.
Overall its a good pick if you care more about price and cleaniness than modern amenities.

Our room was very clean and well maintained, the bed was very comfortable. The owners are on site and very friendly. The pool was not open for the season yet but looked clean and maintained with plenty of chairs and tables. It is a short, 10 minute drive, to shopping and dining. They usually have a bon fire every night under the vented pavillion but there is a burn ban currently in place due to the dry weather so we were not able to experience this but did enjoy relaxing by the riverside. We are looking forward to staying here again.

The rooms are clean, comfortable, convenient, and quiet with a definite southern hospitality vibe. Owners are professional and polite. They enjoy their job and they're good at it. River is a few steps away and is beautiful. Highly recommend this establishment!

The bathroom, refrigerator and sink were spotless. It has vintage charm like you are spending the night at grandmas. A lot of the place looks original.
The owners are very personable and so down to earth. The grounds have a beautiful river in the back and seasonal pool and fire pit. We will definitely be back when we go up there.

Staff were excellent. Room was clean. Bed could be more comfortable. The seal was missing on the bottom of the door so we had to put a towel to keep the cold wind out.

Great clean room. Had an older room feeling but it’s nice to see what rooms were like in older days. This place was built in the traditional cookie cutter style of the old days. Everything was fully functional and was clean as could be. If you want modern and industrial it’s not for you but for a romantic weekend it’s great. Beds were very comfortable and staff was extremely helpful when asked questions. Very quiet place that anyone would appreciate with a short walk to a beautiful River spot to enjoy.

Don't let the outside fool you. This location was safe, very clean inside the room, and extremely comfortable.
The two office personnel with whom I dealt, were very kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable.
I would highly recommend if you want a place to stay while hiking in the area are visiting local attractions.

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.

Highly recommend this lodge. Lovely place to stay. Rustic lodge with lots to offer. On the river bank with an area to sit with family. Older but well kept and clean. Beds were very comfortable. Clean sheets and towels. Shower had plenty of hot water. Decent size refrigerator. AC and heat worked well. Very quiet location. Minimal traffic. Accidentally locked the key in room late at night and owner came immediately to let us in. Two days later, after hiking on the AT we called after hours inquiring about availability. Owner answered the phone and was kind enough to return to office and wait for our late and unplanned arrival. Price was very reasonable. Location was a little farther than preferred for the trailhead we were starting on, but would definitely make the drive again to stay here. Thank you Two Rivers Lodge for making our trip amazing and being so kind.
