About this property

Timeless 2-Acre Riverfront Nature Cabin in the Smokies with Kayaks & Tubes

River Rest Cabin is a 2-acre riverfront secluded cabin surrounded by 50+ acre farm in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains. Enjoy privacy and seclusion while being convenient to Gatlinburg, Pigeon, Forge, and Sevierville (20 minutes or less to all). You will find an ultra private yet year-round accessible cabin with 2 bedrooms (king beds - one on main level and the other in loft bedroom upstairs) + queen sleeper sofa in living room + 2 full en-suite bathrooms located on the Little Pigeon River.

This newly renovated, luxurious cabin is surrounded by 50+ acres of farm land where you can look out any window to see the river, nature, farm, and local wildlife like Bald Eagles, deer, and Black Bears. Down the road from where Dolly Parton grew up and in the middle of it all between Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Sevierville (Pittman Center area), the cabin was lovingly hand built by the previous owner's father. It was also lovingly restored and renovated in early 2019. We completed a new front porch, new riverfront deck, and new river access with stairs in fall of 2019. We have also recently completed the new outdoor area as well as adding kayaks and river tubes in March 2021. All outdoor deck areas have gates to protect small children and cafe string lights all around for ambiance.

With easy access year-round (even in the winter), you will be close to it all! Hiking, fishing (world class trout fishing!), wading, kayaking, horseback riding, tubing, sight seeing, whitewater rafting, swimming, restaurants, shopping, snow skiing/ice skating, Dollywood, downtown Gatlinburg, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park Greenbrier Entrance are all nearby. Enjoy total privacy, the convenience of its central location, and the majestic Little Pigeon River!

Perfect for a honeymoon, family vacation, special occasion, adventure travel, or just a peaceful escape, the cabin features a large wraparound covered back porch and riverfront deck where you can enjoy listening to the river all day long. There is a front porch to enjoy the neighboring cows next door, a riverfront deck with seating and built-in benches to relax by the river, and riverfront access to walk into the water for fishing or swimming in the spring, summer, and fall. There is also an outdoor dining table on the side porch to enjoy eating outside. Outside on the expansive 2 acre riverfront property, there are 2 picnic tables one with a view of your very own private swimming/fishing hole "The Riviera," diverse areas to fish for rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, redeye bass, perch, and carp (knee deep at cabin to very deep at swimming hole), outdoor propane gas grill for cookouts, horseshoe pit, and a large stone fire pit + seating with string lights all around to enjoy night or day! Our guests can also use our kayaks/paddles (2), river tubes (4), life jackets, bocce ball set, and cornhole set! Inside, you will find a newly renovated interior, large gas fireplace built with locally sourced river rocks found right outside the cabin, open living room with rocking chairs, new Restoration Hardware down queen sleeper sofa, Sonos system to enjoy your music, full kitchen with all KitchenAid appliances, reverse osmosis water tap system for the purest drinking/cooking water, loaded complimentary coffee bar, pantry staples, kitchen essentials, washer/dryer, loft bedroom with King bed upstairs, 2nd bedroom on main level with King bed, 2 full bathrooms (1 upstairs shower and 1 downstairs tub/shower) with waterfall shower heads, luxury towels/linens provided, complimentary toiletries, newly installed water purification system for the whole house, and a hot tub on its own private screened-in porch overlooking the river!

Come visit a truly serene property surrounded by nature where you can enjoy the sounds of the river in the Great Smoky Mountains while being accessible to all the attractions, activities, and 10 minutes to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park! #riverrestcabin #RRcabin

River Rest Cabin Lives Up To It's Name
So happy we chose this location for our annual vacation. It was not only serene but rejuvenating at the end of a day exploring the Smokies. It's the first vacation we ever came back from feeling rested, and much of that was to do with the cabin. You can tell Caroline put a lot of thought into the choice of amenities for sleeping, bathing, cooking, and lounging. And the location is perfect for feeling like you are away from it all while being a short distance from anything you would need. We would not hesitate to stay there again on a future trip.

Perfect Cabin on the River
Caroline was great! She gave us so much helpful info about the area and was always quick to respond to any questions we had. The cabin felt just like a home away from home. It was so cozy, welcoming, and clean! We loved our stay and will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Caroline Johnson

Host profile image
I was born and raised in Gatlinburg, and I spent my entire childhood growing up in the Smokies. I moved to San Antonio, Texas in 2015 when I got married to my husband, Clay. We had our daughter in 2018, and I wanted to have a place that we could call home when we visited. We bought River Rest Cabin and its 2 acres in the fall of 2018, and it was the perfect cure for my homesickness! In 2020, we decided to move to the Smoky Mountains and call Gatlinburg home. The cabin is a special place where I want my children to enjoy nature, have fun year-round, experience southern hospitality, meet the kind people of East Tennessee, and explore all the beauty surrounding my hometown, Gatlinburg, TN. It's true what they say... the mountains are calling!

Why they chose this property

I've driven by this property a million times growing up, but when we found it was coming for sale, we immediately jumped for joy! It's such a special cabin surrounded by farm land and located on a pristine piece of property on the Little Pigeon River right on the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Famous for its trout fishing and gentle flowing waters, the Little Pigeon River is our HAPPY PLACE. I want to share the cabin with you and yours so that you can experience why our family and guests find it so special!

What makes this property unique

River Rest Cabin is unlike any cabin in the Smoky Mountains. It's on the river, meaning completely waterfront, while being surrounded by untouched farm land in total privacy. No neighbors to see! There's even a unique swimming hole, the original "Riviera," on the property that has been enjoyed for decades or more. Yet, the cabin is in the middle of it all, being less than 20 minutes from almost everything you would want to do in the area. It's the best of both worlds being in the midst of the most beautiful place on Earth, the Great Smoky Mountains, with adventure and relaxation at your doorstep!
