❤️Relax , reboot & reconnect❤️

Our stay at the River Romp was short & sweet! We enjoyed the hot tub as soon as we arrived after a long day of traveling & after exploring Gatlinburg! The cabin is tucked pretty high up on top a rock cliff , the river is beautiful! Wish it could have been a little closer to the river. Thank you , we really enjoyed our time here.

Rustic cabin

Enjoyed listening to the river. The hot tub was nice after hiking. Bath mat and rugs were very dirty. Be aware of driving to the property that you turn immediately after the barn! There are big ruts in the road so a four wheel is helpful. Definitely not a low riding car. There is no Wi-Fi or cell service. A landline might be helpful if there was an emergency. Probably would not rent the cabin again.

Not impressed

The cabin was really close to another cabin. The lighting was not good at all inside the cabin or outside. There was no cellphone service nor WiFi signal which was a concern. We were unable to plan to visit any local attractions because of not having signal. There was heavy mold in the shower and on walls in the bathroom on the first floor (I took pictures, because it was a concern.) The towels felt like they had been line dried and were tough and scratchy. You could not get to the river as the picture indicates you can. The only positive thing was that Colonial did communicate quickly with us when we lost power. We had to drive out to a local parking lot to receive a call back.

Cabin review

Overall a nice cabin, nestled in the woods above a beautiful river. The cabin was clean, with just a few problems, the hot tub was broke and unusable, the upstairs toilet was also inoperable,, a few other minor problems, but overall a nice experience. I would recommend it to others.

Nice and Clean

Cabin was nice and clean. Not too private, neighboring cabin is very close (shares driveway). Cabin does not offer river/water access. River is down a steep cliff and inaccessible. Cabin was very basic and did not offer a lot of amenities. Kitchen was very scares on tools and utensils making it hard to actually prepare/eat meals. Absolutely no extra linens. No extra blankets to snuggle on couch with or even to throw on the bed on cooler nights. Bed offered a sheet and thin comforter. No extra pillows either. Cabin isn't bad, but will probably try another lodging option if we visit again.

Couples get away

Cabin was just the right size for our weekend getaway to the Smokies. The bed was comfortable and both bathrooms clean and functioning. Kitchen had ample room and was well-furnished for our needs, to include a coffee pot! The hot tub on the deck was a welcome way to relax after walking and exploring both the attractions of Gatlinburg and the nearby National Parks. Although we didn't have time to enjoy the fireplace, it was also clean and looked like it would help warm the cabin and make it even more cozy. Parking is a little tight, since you share a one-lane gravel driveway with another cabin 30' away, but you can still get two small to medium-sized vehicle parked if needed. We will definitely consider this cabin for our next visit!

Weekend birthday getaway

The cabin check in process was very easy! The cabin was quaint and clean. I was looking for something a little more private and the descriptions hinted to being secluded but it wasn’t. Cannot beat the river! The sounds from it are so nice and relaxing. The tv remote controls were a little problematic haha

Loved this property

we didn’t think we were going to like the property location with it being 30 minutes into gatlinburg/pigeon forge, but we LOVED the location it was kind of our getaway from reality. just plac me to just relax on the porch or in the hot tub. the hot tub does need to be hotter though, especially for it being the winter time. our specific location didn’t have much kitchen cooking ware. we stayed in and ate most of the time so having a little more kitchen ware would be good. but overall the experience, location, and setting was perfect! we will definitely be back!

River Romp Getaway

The location is very scenic. It is away from the noise and congestion of the cities, but close enough to be convenient to get to either Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge. Excellent accommodation for a couple. We would definitely return.

Honeymoon

My husband and I stayed at the River Romp cabin for our honeymoon. Overall it was a very nice stay, there is no wifi at this cabin and you definitely need it. Absolutely no service but it does say in the listing no wifi, my mother in law booked this cabin as a wedding present for us. The water pressure in the upstairs bathtub is not very good but we just got back in the hot tub. There are these plastic pieces and on the inside of the hot tub closer to the top where you get in and it tore up my husband leg. He has a BAD cut and a huge bruise from whatever those hard plastic pieces are for. If you have small children I suggest helping in and out, my husband is 24 and this bruise is about 3-4 inches in width and length. It messed him up bad!! The only thing I didn’t like at all is there is another cabin RIGHT beside the River Romp, I read over the listing and I didn’t see anything about there being another cabin so close, the guests never bothered us but if I had known that I probably would have picked a different location. If your wanting a really pretty mountain view I suggest a different location, the view from the River Romp is pretty but mostly trees. You are close to a road, you can see cars pass but they can’t see you and when inside you can’t hear any cars passing. Hearing the water flow from the Little Pigeon River is nice! As far as cleanliness, it could have been more clean. There was a long black hair in the shower upon arrival (I have light brown hair). There was dust here and there which is understandable but other than that just the common build up in/on items. The screen on the screen door going out to the back porch is broken so you can’t leave the back door open because of stuff flying in. But like I said, overall very happy. It was a fantastic trip and we had tons of fun!!

Great place!

Great place to stay for a weekend getaway or short vacation. Really was impressed with how clean everything was and the presentation of the whole lodge, downside was the main bathroom needs some updating due to the shower leaking but was managable. Location was hard to locate with GPS but staff was very helpful when we called ahead. No phone service in the area and cabin has no wifi but we were able to really enjoy the nature with the hot tub and beautiful scenery, the sounds of the river flowing and nature all around was exactly what we needed for our trip away. Perfect location close to the national park and all activities with a short drive and far enough away from all the traffic. Will forsure come again and recommend to friends and family.
