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.

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 The rooms are clean but definetly outdated, and there are not many extras.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.

Clean room and easy check in/out. The river and fire at night are very nice. Rooms can use a little updating but was of nothing of concern.

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.
