Description: In 2000, this motel underwent a complete face-lift; in fact, the new owners did everything but completely tear it down and rebuild it. With about 201 units on the premises, Econo Lodge Riverside provides clean and spacious rooms in a pleasant setting near the Little Pigeon River. If your intent is to dive into the music theaters and shopping opportunities in Pigeon Forge, you’ll find this motel to be handily situated.

When you’re not out on the town, you’ll find relaxation at the picnic spot down by the river, where you’re welcome to feed the resident duck population. Guests can select a standard room with either double queen beds or one king bed. You may also choose from rooms with Jacuzzi tubs and two-family suites with bunk beds and fold-out sofas. All rooms come with microwaves, refrigerators, and coffeemakers. Econo Lodge’s lobby is warm and welcoming with its thick wood rafters and stone fireplace.
