RIVER MEMORIES

Think of the postcard that reads, "Wish You Were Here..." This is that place! RIVER MEMORIES sits alone over-looking the banks of the Little Pigeon River. The spacious three-bedroom house has on its property a perch perfect for fishing, sunbathing, skipping rocks or simple relaxing while the Smoky Mountain Stream slowly rolls by. Other fun amenities include a pool table, hot tub, basketball hoop, stunning views, and a quiet, yet convenient location.

From the huge porch that wraps around the front and side of River Memories, as well as from the upstairs deck, you can kick back on a log rocking chair—a must for any mountain cabin!—and look out onto the river, the woodlands, and the Great Smoky Mountains. The only thing that could enhance the restfulness of the scene would be to experience it while soaking in the hot tub on the porch!

The living area, with its double-height ceiling, is especially relaxing, and in winter the warm glow of the gas fireplace makes it more so. There’s room for the whole gang to get comfortable on the roll-arm sofas and watch a movie on the large HDTV with DVD player.

River Memories has a fully equipped kitchen, complete with stainless-steel appliances, shining countertops, cookware, and tableware galore. There’s also a charcoal grill outside.

The house’s three bedrooms practically guarantee a fabulous night’s sleep. Each has its own flat-panel TV with DVD player, plenty of storage, multiple windows, and a ceiling fan to help lull you to sleep. The master suite on the main floor boasts a king-size bed and a private bathroom as well. One of the upstairs bedrooms also has a king-size bed; the third bedroom, with two queen-size beds, is perfect for the kids or a family within your group with little ones. The upstairs bedrooms share the second full bath; each floor has a half-bath as well.

Speaking of convenience, River Memories includes a washer and dryer, so that you can pack light. When you arrive you’ll find the beds perfectly made up and loads of clean towels at your service, so if after your travels you need a shower or a nap, you can go right ahead.

River Memories’ location is convenient too. Despite the serenity of its riverside setting and the privacy provided by the dense woodlands, the house is just a fifteen-minute drive to the restaurants, shops, and attractions of downtown Gatlinburg. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Ober Gatlinburg Amusement Park and Ski Area, and Dollywood aren’t much farther.

The spectacular setting, stellar furnishings, thoughtful amenities, and convenient locale of River Memories ensure that the memories you make during your stay will be blissful ones. First, though, you have to make your reservation—so go ahead, before someone else beats you to it!
