Welcome to Rocky Waters Motor Inn
Gatlinburg’s Riverfront Lodging Tradition
ocated in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains, Rocky Waters Motor Inn is part of the fabric of Gatlinburg, TN. The hotel is the backdrop to many stories that continue to be told today. Over the years as the town expanded, so did the inn. But with every expansion, the inn kept its eye on the prize – the oasis the property provides with the echoes of the river reverberating through the property. Each private guest room features a porch sitting atop the running waters of Cliff Branch Creek smack dab in the center of the beloved Tennessee Mountain Town.
Once again, the Rocky Waters Motor Inn is undergoing a transformation. This time, better than ever. The property is set to be the pinnacle of the Appalachian Cultural Renaissance that is emerging.

What Our Guests Are Saying
“My wife and I enjoyed our stay. Simple accommodations in the right place, at a great price. We loved being able to sit out and drink coffee on our balcony overlooking the river every morning. The surrounding mountains are beautiful and the Inn is close enough to walk and enjoy all the attractions and restaurants in Gatlinburg.”
“We vacation at Rocky Waters every year. The staff are great, the room is clean, and the view from the balcony on the river is stunning. The free breakfast is a short walk to Days Inn, and it’s better than the average continental breakfast: Oatmeal, sausage gravy, biscuits, waffles with an assortment of yogurt, breads, and beverages.”
“This hotel has a wonderful view from each of the rooms. It is close enough to all the happenings but far enough away to have quiet. The parking was convenient for our room. There is a ramp to walk on to get your luggage to the room. It is a little older but for the money it is a great place.”
“We were very pleased with our stay here! The room was cleaned daily while we were there (when we wasn’t in the room) which was really nice. Our towels were replaced daily, along with trash being taken out daily. The parking space was right below our room which was great access. It was quiet and had a beautiful view of the river! We will be staying here again!”
“Our stay was very pleasant. No complaints. Very clean and the location was perfect for what we wanted. Staff was friendly, breakfast is included if you’d like, free WiFi. I’d definitely come back. The river is a huge plus.”
“Let me first say, the front desk gentleman was very nice and welcoming. My husband and I live on the other side of Knoxville and were just taking a break from everything for the weekend. The room was very clean and and the balcony over the river was so relaxing. This is a great, reasonably priced place to stay.”
