About The Inn On The River Hotel

Many names were discussed to give The Inn its own identity. First named the Riverside Inn, the Pigeon Forge hotel was themed to brand with the owner’s other businesses. After discovering Riverside Inn was a common name in the market, it was decided to rename the hotel in Pigeon Forge, and give it its own identity. In June 2010, after adding a new managing partner with many years of successful hotel and marketing experience, the former Hampton Inn Pigeon Forge became The Inn on the River and is one of the few Pigeon Forge hotels on the river.

The Inn on the River is one of the few Pigeon Forge hotels with indoor pools on the Parkway. This Pigeon Forge hotel is centered in the heart of action-packed Pigeon Forge, and is within walking distance of the best restaurants in Pigeon Forge, a movie theater, several attractions, shopping and even a CVS Pharmacy. The Pigeon Forge hotel is also located directly on the city trolley route, and within a few minutes’ drive of Dollywood, Splash Country, Dolly Parton’s Stampede, The Old Mill, Tanger Outlet Center, Titanic Museum, the best live entertainment shows, golf, hiking, whitewater rafting, Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies and the beautiful Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

As an indoor corridor hotel with elevators, The Inn on the River hotel in Pigeon Forge has three beautiful acres perfectly located on the banks of the Little Pigeon River. This setting adjoins the popular hotel with serene mountain stream, home of many wildlife like ducks, geese, squirrels, cranes and blue herons.

The new owners have been generous with guest improvements to the hotel, including a new lobby, registration desk, carpeting and exterior and interior painting. In addition, they’ve added all new flat screen TVs, along with a new pool deck and indoor pool improvements. In efforts to be more environmentally green, ​The Inn on the River now features new energy efficient lighting, a new roof top, recycling system, guest room heating and air conditioning units and additional landscaping.
