We had a great stay at this cabin in Gatlinburg! The inside was very clean and well kept, and honestly, it exceeded our expectations. I would definitely update the photos on the listing. The location was also perfect. It’s tucked away enough that you don’t feel like you’re right in the middle of the busy strip, but still close enough that you don’t have to drive far to get anywhere.If I had one small complaint, it would be that the porch area could have been cleaned a bit better. There were quite a few leaves and twigs, which made it a little tricky keeping things out of the hot tub.Overall though, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider coming back and staying at the Riverside Princess.

It’s a lovely cabin! We didn’t get to use the hot tub or sauna because we were so busy with friends, that’s the only regret. The running river was a plus! We will be back!

My husband and i enjoyed our stay very much. The chalet was perfect for us! The river was so peaceful flowing and we enjoyed the hot tub as well. We even had a local 4 legged greeter that made our trip exciting! Cannot wait to come back!
My husband took this picture. He shewed him away but he decided to climb the wall and greet me too.
This is on the backside of the chalet. They just like to see what's going on. Had no problems with them. They left us alone. They are very curious animals
My husband and our dog.
He crossed our path and got in the river. Id have to say I enjoyed the bears more than anything.

This cabin is very nice but is not for older tenants. Too many tiers and fall risks within the cabin. The location is premium. The sounds of the river were the best features of the stay and the cabin was quiet. It may not be in season but we were lucky.Parking was fine for one vehicle. In Gatlinburg parking is challenging. The kitchen was adequate for a cabin and the fridge was large enough for two.We enjoyed the stay and would recommend this cabin for those wishing to stay within walking distance to town.We did, ages up to 66 yrs.

The Chalet was the same as the pics provided on the website, which was very nice. Overall it was clean, except for some cobwebs and dust but I realize it is in the woods. We loved having the creek beside us and seeing all the bears! Everyone from beginning to end was wonderful in communicating! We had a great stay and would highly recommend this property to anyone!!!

Nice little cabin close to downtown. We loved the hot tub and saw a bear which was cool. Unfortunately the garbage dumpster pickup was at 3 am twice during our stay so that’s pretty loud. They do need to replace their fitted sheet as it is one of those that pops off when you move. Also beware of the steps down into living area next to bathroom and kitchen. Nice smart TVs in living and bed rooms.

The cabin needs a DEEP CLEAN. Curtains were dirty, window blinds are broken, cobwebs in window sills, pots and pan need replaced skillet was burnt and unusable. The shower could use a grab bar for stability.The steps were difficult for us but we are seniors.We did not use the hot tub.The best thing about the cabin was the deck overlooking the river.

The host is the BEST! She is caring and personable and is very helpful. The Riverside Princess isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience, and without question, one of my absolute favorites.Tucked away in the heart of Gatlinburg, this charming retreat offers the rare combination of peaceful riverside serenity and unbeatable convenience. The soothing sound of the rushing water sets the tone the moment you arrive, creating an atmosphere that instantly slows life down and invites you to breathe, relax, and truly unwind.Inside, the home is warm, inviting, and thoughtfully designed for comfort. Whether it’s morning coffee by the river, cozy evenings after a day exploring the Smokies, or simply enjoying the calm that surrounds the property, Riverside Princess delivers every time. It feels personal, welcoming, and effortlessly comfortable—like a place that understands exactly what a getaway should be.The location is exceptional: close enough to enjoy all that Gatlinburg has to offer, yet far enough removed to feel like your own private escape. It’s the perfect balance of adventure and tranquility.This is a property I return to with confidence and affection. Every stay reminds me why it remains my favorite—consistent, relaxing, beautiful, and memorable in all the best ways. If you’re looking for a stay that feels special from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave, Riverside Princess is it.
