The picture on the web site listed the rooms on the river-was disappointed that there were only 4 on the river. But we were lucky to get a room. We were visiting family so it wasn't far to drive. I think the room could use a bit of updating. The sofa arms were totally worn and dirty looking.

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.

The location was great ,between Bryson City and Cherokee. Short distance to either place. Peaceful and quiet. Beautiful place on the river. Having a grill was a plus.

No thanks.

Before booking ratings were listed as outstanding. Better word would be adequate. Very outdated facilities. Lodge is next to a dog kennel so we were greeted each of our two mornings by a chorus of loud barking dogs at about 6 am. Dirty ashtray on the front stoop sitting area. Flimsy towels. For the price we paid for two nights it was very overpriced. Would not recommend.

There was a beautiful river in the backyard. All plumbing metalwork was rusted. Very poor lighting. Windows were painted shut. Outdoor seating was rusted. Damaged/holes in the wall.

Lovely riverfront property. Room was immaculate and it was a joy to have the river so close. There was even a covered area with firepit. The owners were on site and made us feel right at home. And the beds were super comfortable. Will come back!

We had an awesome stay at this quaint little motel that sends you back in time. The bed slept great and the room was clean. We had a huge window that looked out over the river. There is a nice covered pavilion with gliders and picnic tables, fire ring and grills right by the river for your enjoyment. Our last night there we were in the pavilion enjoying the weather and the nature sounds, when an elk walked out of the river and right past us. It was awesome. Would highly recommend. Staff is amazing and i can't wait to stay there again when we are in the area.

Love the property. Had planned to come back a few weekends per year but they made a copy of the front and back of my credit card. I went straight to the room and cancelled the card and had it reissued. Never coming back.
