About this property
"Fishin Hole" Cabin Overlooking the "Little River" in Townsend,TN Family Owned
Whether you're planning a peaceful family vacation, a romantic honeymoon, or a quiet mountain escape, our cozy log cabin offers the perfect retreat—nestled right on the banks of the scenic Little River in Townsend, Tennessee.
Few places in the Smokies offer the experience of staying directly on the river, where you can relax to the sound of flowing water, fish from the shore, or simply enjoy the view from your porch. Our cabin combines privacy, comfort, and unbeatable riverfront beauty in the heart of “The Peaceful Side of the Smokies.”
Located just 2 miles from the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Cades Cove, our cabin gives you the best of both worlds—secluded riverside relaxation with easy access to the park’s most popular attractions.
As a family-owned and operated part of Cabins on Little River, LLC, we take pride in offering personal, attentive service to ensure your stay is everything you hoped for and more. Our family has lived on and loved this river for generations, and we can’t wait to share it with you.
Come discover why so many guests return year after year—for the comfort, for the mountains, and most of all, for the Little River.
Richard & Yvonne Carnes and Family
