The house fit our group great. Plenty of room to move around without stepping on each other. Very convenient to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Owner was great to work with. We plan to return to this spot again next year for our get together.

Bachelorburg trip
The property was great. The location was fantastic..... backing up to the river that runs through Gatlinburg and being only a few minute walk to hillbilly golf. The interior was very well decorated, with comfortable furniture, lots of space, and the kitchen was very well stocked with anything you might need. I Forget would definitely stay here again.

River Stay
House was as advertised. River location fantastic and every morning spent drinking coffee before daylight in perfect solitude. Plenty of kitchenware for any need. Beds comfortable. Entire family loved it. TVs seldom turned on. Our intent is to rent again in near future. One thing for owner to consider is a light gate on the deck. Since we had two young kids with us, we put up a portable gate at top of stairs for additional safety. This wasn’t a negative….just something that may enhance someone else’s stay with small children.

Checked all the boxes!
My wife and I, along with our three married children and their spouses, and our two grandsons (ages 6 & 3) have been taking an annual trip for the last several years. This was the first in which the accommodations were ideal! We try to balance eating out and cooking. The kitchen and dining areas served us extremely well! The river view/access was simply awesome! That each bedroom has its own bathroom was a huge plus! Wish we could take this property with all its awesomeness on all our family vacations!

Gatlinburg getaway
We were very pleased with the location, customer service and accommodations at Rivercation. For our large group, everyone had a bedroom with their own bathroom. We were all impressed with the house and all it had to offer. Situated on the river was wonderful- relaxing to sit and listen to the water and a convenient spot to fish. It is about a 30 minute walk to the Gatlinburg Convention center (about 1 1/2 miles). Blake was responsive and helpful with messages. We would definitely stay here again.

Wished we knew about this gem before
We’ve been coming to the Gatlinburg area for over years and always looked for that perfect place that was close to downtown by either a short walk or quick drive would get you to Pigeon Forge as well. Rivercation had what we were looking for as far as location and the place itself was amazing with the view of Little Pigeon River you could sat out on the top or bottom deck and enjoy the sounds of the rustling waters. Blake was an awesome host and very responsive to make sure our vacation was the best. This will definitely be our choice for future stays.

Terrific
The cabin was roomy, clean and a great location to downtown Gatlinburg. We were able to walk and we didn’t have to drive and pay the high parking fees. It is about a 10 to 15 minute walk. The desk over looks the river and was so nice sitting at night or during the day and relaxing. I will definitely keep this one in my files to rent again.

Great but needs better cleaning
4 families (Husband and Wife) siblings - Ages 60+ to 70+ We enjoyed the stay. They had great amenities and were within the walking distance as stated. However, the kitchen and baths were not very clean. Counters and dining table had crumbs. Bathrooms had dirty floors and tubs had soap scum on sides. Would like to recommend that a plastic cover be put over dining table so it can be easily cleaned and avoid splinters. Two guest did get splinters when wiping down the table. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay.
