The air hockey and arcade machine as well as fireplace were a nice touch but even more so loved the signs about hiking as that is one of our favorites and the cozy table. Great location but be careful going up that road when icy (and down). Also it was a bit drafty near the outside well of the bedroom but the furnace heats it up quickly. ##### Melanie P.

Don't be fooled by the outside appearance, it does need some work and updates. The condo itself is very nice. We could've used some oven gloves and a pizza cutter. The games were a hit with my boys and the sound of the stream running through the property was very relaxing. The condo was clean,easy to find and a great place to get some rest. ##### Jostlin R.

We were visiting Gatlinburg with our 4 year old for a few days. The property was very clean and comfortable with good amenities. The pool was very welcome after hot days out visiting the local area. We saw some bears in the area outside the balcony which was a great experience. It’s a short drive into Gatlinburg / pidgeon forge and up into the mountains. There was lots to see and do to occupy us during our 5 day stay. The owner responded to any queries quickly. Overall would recommend. ##### Karen K.

We enjoyed our little getaway at Rustic River condo. The host Laurie could not have been more responsive or kind. The outside was a little underwhelming but the unit itself was clean and nicely furnished the kitchen was well equipped the bed was nice and comfortable. Overall it was quite a cozy spot. The balcony with a view of the creek was relaxing and the unit was close to the nat. park and all the Gatlinburg attractions.
