About Riverstone Resort & Spa
Looking for luxury without losing that family-friendly Smoky Mountain vibe? Riverstone Resort & Spa in Pigeon Forge delivers upscale accommodations while keeping things comfortable and practical for families. The resort's 1-4 bedroom condos give you plenty of space to spread out, with full kitchens that help manage meal costs during longer stays. Each unit features a private balcony, many overlooking the adjacent golf course.
Kids gravitate to the outdoor lazy river during warm months, while the 24-hour indoor heated pool means swimming doesn't stop when weather turns cool. The on-site spa offers a full menu of massages and treatments - perfect for unwinding after a day at nearby Dollywood, which is just a mile away.
The location puts you right in the heart of Pigeon Forge's attractions while maintaining a quieter, more peaceful atmosphere than properties directly on the Parkway. You're just minutes from dinner shows, shopping, and restaurants, but the resort grounds feel removed from the tourist bustle.
The property maintains high cleanliness standards throughout, from the well-kept pool areas to the manicured grounds. A friendly parrot greets guests in the lobby, adding a unique touch that especially delights children.
Pro tip: Review your bill carefully at checkout, as some guests have noted occasional billing discrepancies. The front desk staff is generally quick to resolve any issues when brought to their attention.
For families wanting resort amenities with the space and convenience of a vacation rental, Riverstone Resort & Spa offers an ideal middle ground in the Pigeon Forge accommodation landscape.
Amenities & Features
Don't Miss
Lazy River & 24-Hour Pool
The lazy river is where families spend most of their time, and the indoor pool stays heated year-round with 24-hour access. It's been a lifesaver during rainy Smokies weather, and kids never get bored with the hot tub and play areas nearby.
Full-Service Spa
This isn't just a basic hotel spa - they do signature massages, seasonal facials, and relaxation pedicures that actually live up to the resort name. The treatments are pricey but worth it after long days at Dollywood.
Spacious Condo-Style Units
These are real condos with 1-4 bedrooms, full kitchens, living rooms, and balconies - not cramped hotel rooms. Most have fireplaces and golf course views, making them feel like vacation homes rather than typical accommodations.
Golf Course Views
Many units overlook the adjacent Gatlinburg Golf Course and Little Pigeon River, giving you peaceful views that feel worlds away from busy Pigeon Forge. Request an upper floor for the best scenery.
Dollywood Proximity
You're literally one mile from Dollywood's entrance, making it easy to go back and forth for midday breaks, naps, or forgotten items. No dealing with distant hotels when you have tired kids.
Family Activity Areas
Beyond the pools, there's a playground, bounce pad, and that famous lobby parrot that kids always remember. The grounds stay surprisingly quiet even when busy, so families can actually relax.
