What an amazing stay! The home was located conveniently about 15-30 minutes from all local attractions but off the beaten path. Our group was 2 families of 5, children ranging from 9-15, the river for swimming and fishing, game room, fire pit for s’mores and hot tub were great for downtime. Kristi was the best! She was responsive from the day we booked. Responded quickly to a range of questions from us. We would highly recommend this property to others visiting the Sevierville, Gatlinsburg, Pigeon Forge area!

About the host

Hosted by Kristi at Woods and Waves Vacation Homes

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Kristi! I’m a mom of four great adults, and a proud grandmother who believes life is meant to be filled with good people, fun, and family. Our vacation homes are designed for everyone—families, friends, and groups—who want to relax, reconnect, and make memories that last long after checkout.

I’ve been hosting for over five years and genuinely enjoy welcoming guests into our vacation home. From thoughtful touches to responsive communication, guest satisfaction is always my top priority. Whether you’re celebrating something special or simply getting away to unwind, my goal is for you to feel cared for, comfortable, and completely at home.

I’d be honored to host you, your family, and your friends!

Why they chose this property

This location is our favorite place to be. And we are happy to share it with great guests. We vacation here about 3-4 times a year so that we can offer the best for you.

We'll send you our tailored digital guidebook featuring Gatlinburg's top dining spots, our favorite National Park entrance, hidden gems, shopping areas, and the best putt-putt location—all curated specially for your enjoyment.

What makes this property unique

Being on the river is our favorite part of Rocky River Lodge. With the rapids directly below the house, you can just sit in the hot tub or one of the two decks and enjoy the sounds and sight of the river rushing over the rocks. Immediately to the left and right of the cabin are calm areas, great for playing in the water. Please exercise caution in and around the river, at your own risk.
