Since 1935
People often say our place looks familiar, but trust us: you'd remember if you stayed here. Cozying up overtop a sleepy little river tends to make a mighty fine memory. Family-built at the foot of the Smokies, Rocky Waters Motor Inn puts you right in the heart of what makes our corner of the country so serenely special— all just a hop and a skip from the delights of downtown Gatlinburg.
Paying homage to the trailblazers that pioneered hospitality in Gatlinburg in the mid-1930s, almost a decade later, the hotel is making a comeback to once again birth a new symbol of Appalachian hospitality.
Family built.
Enjoyed by generations.
Gatlinburg, the unofficial gate keeper to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, has forever secured itself as one of the most magnificent mountain towns in the world. For this little mountain town does some rather big things. From having Arrowmont School - a 112 year old arts and crafts campus at the center to Anakeesta - a mountain top of imagination and wonder, Rocky Waters Motor Inn is just a stone's throw away from all this town has to offer.
