A timeless lodging experience on the edge of Tazewell — where comfortable rooms meet nostalgic arcade fun, and every visit feels like coming home.
Riverside Retreat and Arcade has been a steadfast presence on East Fincastle Turnpike — a place where travelers slow down, families make memories, and the simple pleasures of a good night's sleep and a well-played game are what matter most.
Our rooms carry the warmth of classic hospitality: clean lines, thoughtful touches, and the kind of comfort that doesn't shout but lingers. Down the hall, the arcade hums with familiar sounds — a reminder that joy doesn't need to be complicated.
Every room is thoughtfully kept — quiet, clean, and ready for whoever walks through the door.
A straightforward, comfortable space — perfect for solo travelers or couples passing through Tazewell.
More room to spread out — a king bed, a cozy sitting corner, and the same attentive comfort you expect.
Space for the whole crew — two double beds, plenty of room, and the arcade just down the hall.
Between check-in and chow time, the arcade is where the good times live. Classic cabinets, retro soundtracks, and scoreboard rivalries — it's the kind of break that makes a stay feel special.
