We stayed one night at Two Rivers Lodge while exploring the Smokies, and it was very nice. Our room was clean and comfortable. It's a simple, no-frills place, which is exactly what we like. The highlight was the covered seating area right by the river, a great spot to relax at the end of the day. It was too warm for a fire while we were there, but I can picture it being perfect on a cool night. We'd happily stay again.

A large, immaculate room & bathroom. Even the carpet was so clean, it appeared to be new. The pillows would conform to my neck and head. The mattress was very comfortable. The sheets were soft and comfortable. The sink & vanity were outside the bathroom, so I could brush my teeth while my husband showered. There was gorgeous scenery of trees & the rivers to sit and enjoy. Everyone was helpful and very nice. Also, it was quiet. Love Two Rivers Lodge!

Sure the motel is old but still in good condition,I can remember staying in one just like it when I was a young boy. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable, plus being on the back next to the river made it really quiet. Like the rooms the pool is old but clean and good size.

If you like a little different place to stay, Two Rivers Lodge is great. Most motels feel alike. The Loge is how drive in motels used to be. The property is very well maintained and has a confortable feel. Not every piece of furniture is alike, but its impecably clean. Everything worked. The location is ideal, halfway between Brison and Cherokee with a lovely river on the property. Great hosts.

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!

The room was very clean which is very important to me. The Staff, Husband and wife were very friendly. Each room has a place to park your car, and there are chairs outside your room to sit in which is nice. This was a short weekend trip for us, but I would definitely feel comfortable staying longer. Having a mini frig, microwave and coffee pot was enough for us. There is a nice river you can walk down to to see, unfortunately we didn’t have the time. We were visiting friends in Bryson so our time was limited in our room.
