Welcome to Rocky River Lodge — proudly hosted by Woods & Waves Vacation Homes.
Set on a private, wooded 3-acre riverfront parcel, this luxury lodge is where mornings start with coffee and rushing water, afternoons turn into fishing, pool tournaments and arcade battles, and evenings end in at the firepit or the hot tub beneath the stars. With 150 feet of Little Pigeon River frontage and an easy drive just 9 miles to Gatlinburg (no steep roads, no stressful access), it’s the kind of place groups book for the Smokies…then happily stay put.
