Wilderness at the Smokies – River Lodge Suites

Wilderness at the Smokies – River Lodge Suites

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay. This was our first time staying in River Lodge as we usually stay at Stone Hill. The room was great for the four of us. Two adults, a 10 year-old and a three-year-old. Wilderness has made leaps and bounds where they were a couple years ago. We had totally written them off for a long time and now would gladly stay there again and again. There is so much to do for children and adults alike, whether it be the waterpark with so many things, the huge arcade, laser tag, mini golf, an adventure coaster inside, and more. The food options are great and such a huge variety. So thankful to have a place so close to home that we can come to and enjoy family time together. The water, coaster and lazy river is such a great addition. It is so family friendly, and the staff everywhere treats you like family."

"The stay wasn't bad. We left early due to stink bugs being EVERYWHERE. The only solution they had was to vacuum the live bugs coming into the room. As soon as they left, more bugs came in. I had to leave. Other than the bugs and no breakfast the 1 night stay was decent."
