The Spotlight on Rivers Edge Motel

Riverside Comfort Near the Heartbeat of Cherokee's Music Scene

Modern comfort meets mountain charm at Rivers Edge Motel, a relaxing riverfront retreat nestled in the Great Smoky Mountains. Just 1.7 miles from Harrah’s Casino, this peaceful spot offers beautiful views of the Oconaluftee River from every room, making it a perfect base for music lovers exploring Cherokee’s growing live music scene.
All rooms come with a private balcony overlooking the river, plus handy amenities like a refrigerator, coffee maker, satellite TV, and complimentary WiFi. Whether you're in town for a concert or just soaking up mountain vibes, this cozy motel has you covered.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is key—and Rivers Edge Motel puts you less than 2 miles from one of the region’s most popular concert venues. After the show, return to a peaceful riverside setting to unwind. The motel's shuttle service makes getting to and from events a breeze (just ask the front desk). With flexible 3 PM check-in and an easy 11 AM check-out, it's perfect for late-night arrivals or slow mornings after a big night out.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable and scenic base
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list show
  • Couples enjoying a weekend concert getaway
  • Fans needing a relaxing spot to crash post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t want to sacrifice comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, you're just a short drive or walk from several local eateries and casual spots near downtown Cherokee. Early risers and late sleepers can take advantage of in-room coffee makers for a quick morning perk-up. Great for grabbing a bite on your own schedule.

Nightlife Options

If you’re after post-concert fun, head to nearby Harrah’s Casino for live music, gaming, and bars open late. Prefer something low-key? The sound of the river right from your balcony is about as chill as it gets.

What People Say

Guests rave about the scenic river views, calling them peaceful and relaxing. Reviews highlight the clean, comfortable rooms and the motel's excellent location for concerts and casino nights. Many note the friendly service and appreciate the quiet environment after a lively evening out.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention the motel’s older exterior, but agree that the rooms themselves are surprisingly modern and well-kept. While there’s no breakfast or restaurant on-site, the nearby dining options more than make up for it.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a quiet, scenic, and affordable stay close to Cherokee’s top music spots, Rivers Edge Motel hits all the right notes.

Very good

Liked: Everything was great, I would definitely stay there again! My only complaints are, the room had a "musty" smell when we arrived and it was in the sheets when we went to sleep, it was gone by day 2 after the air-conditioning was running constant for the entire stay, it removed the humidity and smell. The second complaint is there was a weird light annoying sound coming from the wall, maybe old plumbing or something "running" in the background that none of us could figure out what it was was? No biggie it was very faint. Overall excellent staff, great location, and good value.
