Location Details

Two Rivers Lodge is located on four acres at the junction of two rivers, five miles from Bryson City and Cherokee. It features an eighth of a mile of river frontage.

Important Information

Check-in requires a minimum age of 25. The property includes uneven ground, open flames, swift water, and steep banks. Service dogs are permitted in motel rooms per A.D.A. regulations if well-behaved and not aggressive. Smoking is prohibited indoors, with a $250 fee for violations. Anyone exhibiting drunken behavior will be removed from the property. Keys can be dropped in the office door slot for early check-out.

“This spotlessly clean motel is nestled between two rivers, offering comfortable rooms and a riverside picnic area; it's ideal for enjoying campfires. I think its proximity to both Bryson City and Cherokee adds convenience, while the chance to see local wildlife sweetens the deal. It's a solid choice for fuss-free stays.”
