About this property

2BR "Riverside" Cabin Overlooking the "Little River" in Townsend,TN Family Owned

Our "RIVERSIDE" Log Cabin offers the ideal setting for a Smoky Mountain family vacation, a romantic honeymoon, or a peaceful mountain retreat. You'll enjoy privacy, comfort, and the charm of a beautifully crafted log home—all just steps from the soothing waters of the Little River in Townsend, Tennessee.

Perched right on the riverbank in the heart of Townsend—known as “The Peaceful Side of the Smokies”—our cabin invites you to slow down and soak in the natural beauty that surrounds you. Just two miles from your front door is the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the beloved Cades Cove loop, making it easy to explore while still enjoying a quiet, laid-back atmosphere.

This cabin is proudly family-owned and operated as part of Cabins on Little River, LLC. As lifelong residents of Townsend, we take great pride in providing friendly, personal service to make sure every detail of your stay is just right.

We look forward to welcoming you and helping make our 2 BR / 2 BATH "RIVERSIDE" cabin your home away from home—not just for this vacation, but for years to come.

Super clean, convenient and located on the River. Easy access to tube and play in the water, cabin has a nice front porch to view the River activities. Easy access to Wears Valley Rd and the Cades Cove park entrance.We rented the 2 bedroom, but a larger group could rent both cabins and have a great family get-away!

Great Cabin!

This cabin was perfect for what we were looking for. It's definitely on the quiet side of the Smokeys but within a short distance of the excitement of Pigeon Forge. The cabin was very clean and Mr. Carnes was great at responding back to answer any questions. We truly enjoyed our stay.
