About this property

Peaceful 3-Acre Farmhouse/Private River access/Hot Tub/Fire Pits/Romantic

If you need a peaceful vacation, look no further. The Little River Farmhouse is a family friendly, fully renovated rustic modern home on 3 acres of land located near the heart of Townsend. It resides among a small muscadine vineyard and blueberry patch along The Little River. A very large yard is available for running around, playing catch, and other outdoor games. We have a disc golf basket for the entire family to enjoy. Secluded yet convenient, the home is surrounded by nature and within a short drive, bike ride or walking distance of Townsends’ conveniences. This home has a large-covered porch with a 7-person luxury hot tub/spa and plenty of seating, 2 large fire pits (next to house and down at the river) and access to a private shore along The Little River. River access makes it perfect for tubing, fishing for trout or just lounging in the water. There is a comfortable remote working space within the home and access to high-speed internet.

In the winter months, you might find yourself sitting on the porch enjoying a peaceful view of the Mountains and the Little River. In the Spring, you will be admiring the 100 year old maples and other trees blooming. In the summer, you will spend your evenings staring at the lights of fireflies. You might not be prepared for the beauty of the fall season as the foliage drifts to the ground. Throughout the year, you will likely find yourself awwing at the bunnies foraging in the morning hours and soaking in the luxurious hot tub and spa in the evening. If you enjoy bird watching, you likely will spend hours just sitting on the front porch or staring out the large living room picture window.

You’ll be minutes away from the entrance to The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, a quick drive to Cades Cove, and access to the scenic foothills parkway with some amazing view points. You are a relaxing 30 min drive to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg where you can enjoy lots of day and nighttime activities to include Dollywood and Anakeesta. Go for a hike, bike ride, car ride or just enjoy the beautiful home on the River. Whatever you chose, you will have a vacation you never forget at The Little River Farmhouse.

For your safety there are 3 security cameras on property: #1 is on the corner of house facing down the driveway. #2 is on the carport looking back towards driveway. #3 is on back of carport looking up towards barn. There are no other camera’s on the property. Please see the Welcome Guide for more information.

Excellent gost

The house was everything we needed to get away with a family of four. Plenty attention to details, things like setting out towels by the door so we could relax in the hot tub after a long drive. Had everything we need to relax either by the fire or by the river. Really close to the national park so we didnt have to drive far.

Amazing Getaway

My husband and I needed a weekend to ourselves and that is exactly what we got. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, especially the hot tub. Love that it is on the covered porch so that even though it rained, we still could enjoy it.

My son and I came for spring break and had the best time. Great location, close to lots of hikes and attractions. We both loved the river access. And used the hot tub every night after hiking.The owner has thought of everything in this house to make your stay as comfortable as possible. We wanted for nothing. Will definitely be back.

This is our second stay here. It won’t be our last either! This beautiful place is nestled in Townsend close to places yet away from the hustle. The views of the morning sunrise is indescribable. The house is set up with so many thoughtful add ons. Inside and out. Thank you from 2 best friends, 1 local and 1 out of state.

Peaceful paradise

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was a perfect place to have a relaxing family vacation. We loved the river and the hot tub, and had a great time roasting marshmallows in the evenings. My husband and daughter had a grand time gathering black walnuts that had fallen from the many trees around the house. The house was clean and very welcoming. The only problem was we had to leave at the end of our vacation!

Beautiful and relaxing spring break getaway

We loved our stay, it was so relaxing and just what my family needed. The land for the kids to run was something we didn’t realize we needed on a vacation. My kids had a blast! Will most certainly keep this on our favorites to return!

Vacation with the grands

Lovely weekend! The boys loved the river and the girls loved the hot tub. Evenings were great for grilling and bon fire with s’mores. The accommodations were amazing and very, very clean. Everything we needed was there for us. Hostess was so nice! Even text us when the house was clean and invited us to enter earlier than check in time!
