Historic Riverview Inn - King Room Five

Summary:

A boutique mountain retreat overlooking the Tennessee River. Settle into your king bed, brew a Keurig coffee, and step out onto your private balcony. Enjoy complimentary breakfast in the Skybox, soak in a hot tub cabana under the stars, and explore Lookout Mountain right out your door. Downtown Chattanooga is just five minutes away. This is one of ten unique rooms at Riverview Inn — a Timberroot property.



The Space:

Riverview Inn blends boutique charm with a laid-back mountain spirit. Nine uniquely designed rooms and one suite line the north side of Lookout Mountain, each with its own private balcony overlooking the Tennessee River Valley. Wake up to complimentary hot breakfast in the Skybox, then spend the rest of your day however you please. Warm wood, moody tones, and just the right amount of modern comfort tucked into a property that's been here long enough to have stories of its own.



YOUR ROOM

A plush king bed, warm hardwood floors, and a moody mountain aesthetic that feels equal parts modern and timeless. Your walk-in tiled shower comes stocked with toiletries, and a bistro dining table for two is perfect for morning coffee or a late-night snack. Step through the French doors onto your private balcony and take in the views.



SKYBOX LOUNGE

Start your morning with our complimentary hot breakfast, served daily from 8:30–10:00 AM. Think golden waffles, fluffy scrambled eggs, seasonal fruit, and rotating daily specials. Beyond breakfast, the Skybox is the inn's shared lounge — floor-to-ceiling windows, panoramic valley views, locally brewed coffee, board games, and the kind of atmosphere where strangers swap trail recommendations and leave as friends.



HOT TUBS WITH A VIEW

Soothe tired muscles in one of two shared hot tubs, each tucked inside a private cabana with stunning mountain views. Draw the curtains, sink in, and let the warm water melt away the day's adventures under the stars.



SEASONAL POOL

On warmer days, cool off in the seasonal pool surrounded by the natural beauty of Lookout Mountain. Just grab a lounger and take it all in.



ROMANCE PACKAGE

Celebrating something special? Add our Romance Package — fresh roses, decadent treats, and keepsakes perfect for anniversaries, honeymoons, or just-because getaways. Add it to your cart during booking or contact Guest Services at least 24 hours before check-in.



ADVENTURE STARTS HERE

Just five minutes to downtown Chattanooga, you're steps away from hiking, rock climbing, paddleboarding, and hang gliding — plus guests enjoy exclusive discounts to Rock City. Riverview Inn is one of several Timberroot properties in the Chattanooga area. Browse our other listings to find your next escape.



Guest Access:

Your unit features keyless entry for easy, private access. You'll also be free to enjoy our shared amenities — the Skybox, the Overlook Deck, two hot tubs, the pool, and the surrounding grounds.



The Neighborhood:

Riverview Inn sits atop Lookout Mountain, just minutes from iconic attractions like Rock City, Ruby Falls, and the Incline Railway. Yet you're only a short drive from everything downtown Chattanooga has to offer — from the Tennessee Aquarium to the vibrant Southside district. Doesn't matter if your adventure leads up the mountain or into the city, it all starts here.



Getting Around:

We recommend having a car during your stay — each unit is allotted one parking spot, with additional parking available on a first-come, first-served basis. Uber, Lyft, and local taxis are available in the Chattanooga area, though availability is limited on the mountain.

Once you're in downtown Chattanooga, street and public lot parking is reasonably priced. The free electric shuttle runs between the Choo Choo and the Tennessee Aquarium with stops every block — check CARTA's website for current schedules. And for the adventurous, Bike Chattanooga offers bike and e-bike rentals at 42 self-service kiosks around downtown.



Other Things to Note:

PET POLICY:

We love furry adventurers! This property is pet-friendly and welcomes up to 2 dogs (50 lbs or under each). Breed restrictions and pet fees do apply — you'll find the full details in our house rules. We just ask that all pups be on their best behavior!



DEPOSITS:

Guests under 21 or those local to the Greater Chattanooga area will have a $200 refundable deposit applied after booking confirmation. As long as your stay follows our house rules — including our policy on registered guests and private gatherings — your deposit will be returned in full. Easy as that.



NO SMOKING:

To keep things fresh for every guest, all Timberroot properties are smoke-free indoors. This includes cigarettes, vapes, and e-cigarettes. A designated smoking area is located at the gazebo to the left of the café (coming soon). Please refer to your rental agreement for full details, including any fees associated with this policy.

Interaction with Guests:

Riverview Inn offers a self-guided experience — no innkeeper, no front desk, just a seamless stay. Shortly after booking, you'll receive a digital boarding pass with everything you need, and your keyless entry details will appear as check-in approaches.

While there's no dedicated on-site host, you'll often find staff around the property. Need extra help? Our Guest Services team is available daily from 8:00 AM to 11:30 PM and just a phone call away.
