Riverstone Resort and Spa in Pigeon Forge offers a distinctly different approach to the typical mountain getaway. Though it’s situated just minutes away from the neon lights of Parkway attractions and adjacent to the Gatlinburg Golf Course, the spa and resort at 212 Dollywood Lane is a luxurious retreat from the usual hustle and bustle of busy Pigeon Forge. Instead, Riverstone Resort and Spa draws inspiration from the neighboring hills and a beautiful peaks of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Mind, Body, & Soul
According to spa manager Emily Mathis, that’s just the way it’s supposed to be. She and her staff have created a serene environment perfect for relaxing the mind and calming the soul. In 2013, the spa at Riverstone Resort underwent an extensive transformation allowing them to grow into a state-of-the-art facility focused on the physical and emotional wellbeing of everyone who enters. “The best part of my job here is just making people feel good,” Mathis said.
Mathis said the renovations allowed the spa at Riverstone to double in size. Today, the full-service spa has the space needed to accommodate couples and large groups, making Riverstone an ideal destination for romantic weekends away, girls’ retreats, wedding parties and more.
Visitors to Riverstone Resort and Spa can indulge themselves with a variety of spa treatments. The Spa offers everything from facials to pedicures, with a lot in between. Services include massage therapy, nail treatments, make-up artistry, skincare services, waxing and much more. Mathis’s favorite spa package is The RiverStone. This signature package is a complete “head to toe treatment,” she said, and features a facial, full-body massage, and pedicure.“When you’re finished, your skin is glowing and you’re definitely very relaxed,” she said.
