Welcome to Rocky River Lodge by Woods and Waves Vacation Homes. There is no better feeling than hearing, smelling and seeing the river while relaxing under shade in the comfort of your own private deck, knowing that at any moment you can step out of your Amish rocking chair and take a stroll to the river's edge. It's the beautiful river views that give this home its name, Rocky River Lodge. But it's the freedom of being in constant serenity that gives it its spirit. The experience of spending time here wouldn’t be complete without sharing it with the company of your loved ones. Rocky River Lodge is a large home, (3000 square feet) that can comfortably accommodate 10 guests, conveniently located between Gatlinburg and Pittman Center. From the four immaculate master suites and its large en-suite baths to sturdy bunks, and a game room complete with arcades, pool table and family games, there is simply nothing more you can dream of in a Smoky Mountains home. However, this perfect oasis to escape the stress of your everyday life wouldn’t be complete without a full-size chef’s kitchen, finished with all the appliances and fixtures. There's no meal that can’t be prepared here to enjoy on the shaded deck. Rocky River Lodge is located in the exclusive Riversong community, just minutes from Gatlinburg. Rocky River Lodge is our favorite hidden gem of a vacation. Come enjoy this well appointed lodge in the Smokys, with easy access to all the attractions but nestled in a quiet wooded area.

The home is perfect for families and friends to spend time year round. The bathroom in all the bedrooms kept the morning routine ahead of schedule.
