We enjoyed the area. There were several restaurants nearby and it was very close to Great Smokey Mountain Nstionsl Park, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Communication with the host was helpful and it was easy to find. We would definitely stay here again!

The condo location was perfect for us. We brought our bikes and were able to ride the bike trail and around the neighborhood. Easy access to the IGA, coffee shops, restaurants, and our personal favorite—The Peaceful Side Social. Very quiet and peaceful overlook of the river. This is an end unit with second floor entry. You’ll have one floor of outside stairs and then another flight inside to the bedrooms. Not challenging, but important to consider when booking.The condo was very clean and comfortable. It’s a little outdated, but it’s an older building and you could tell that they have updated the things that matter. Full size washer & dryer in unit was nice to have.The master bedroom had its own balcony overlooking the river. It was a wonderful perk. The bed is a bit on the firm side. Each bedroom has its own full bathroom. One with tub and other with stand up shower.Last minute booking for us and everything was easy from booking to check in to check out.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Riverside Condo. The location is a 10/10. It is easy to walk to multiple dinner locations, the grocery store, and the coffee shop. We loved having the river outside our door and easy access to walking and bike paths. The condo was clean, and communication with the host was excellent. I recommend this condo.

Perfect peaceful weekend

We came for just 2 nights for some hiking and catching up with family. Spent both evenings on the balcony enjoying the view of the water and the sounds of bugs and birds and the breeze. The condo had everything we could have needed and then some. We will be back
