Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Michelle! We’re thrilled to hear everything was perfect and that you had everything you needed during your stay at Take Me to the River. We hope you had plenty of time to enjoy the peaceful Little Pigeon River right outside the cabin, relax in the hot tub, unwind around the riverside firepit, and have some fun in the game room. There’s just something special about ending the day by the river and listening to the water go by. Thank you again for choosing Take Me to the River for your Smoky Mountains getaway. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d absolutely love to welcome you back!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Diane! We’re so glad you had a great time and enjoyed the cabin, especially the Pigeon River, fire pit, hot tub, shuffleboard, and air hockey. One of our favorite things about this riverfront cabin is that you can spend the day enjoying everything the Smokies has to offer, then come back and relax right by the water, unwind in the hot tub, gather around the fire pit, or enjoy the game room together. It was such a pleasure hosting you, and we really appreciate you choosing our Little Pigeon River cabin for your Smoky Mountain getaway. If your travels bring you back to the area, we’d be very happy to welcome you again. Every season has a little something different to enjoy, so I’m certain you’ll visit the area again.

Our family had a wonderful stay in this cabin. Communication from the host was excellent, check in was easy and the property is gorgeous. Spacious bedrooms all with their own sliding doors outside, tons of outdoor seating on both balconies and the large kitchen were some our favorite amenities. Our kids loved the air hockey table, hot tub and other games. We fished and sat on the riverbank and even saw a black bear cross right by us. Location was perfect, short drive to tons of activities, food and things to do.

Thank you so much for the awesome review! It sounds like your family checked off just about everything—fishing by the river, game room competitions, relaxing in the hot tub, and even a black bear sighting! That's about as "Smokies" as it gets. 😊 We hope your family leaves with lots of great stories to tell, and we'd love to have you back whenever you're ready for another river adventure. Hoping this was just the first of many family trips to the river cabin and more memories waiting to be made! Till next time!

The cabin was beautiful and everything we hoped for and more! Coffee on the porch, taking in the fresh air and river views was our favorite! The first morning, we spotted plenty of fish and four river otters playing. We took in many sites and adventures throughout Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, but truly wished we had relaxed more at the cabin. Local spots we enjoyed included Split Rail Eats, which had great food, service and a nice beer tap wall. We also visited the Painted Bear for coffee and pastries. Dollywood was nicely decorated for fall and the roller coasters/water rides provided laughter and memories to last a lifetime! The cabin was approximately 25 min to Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge, so we took everything with us to spend the day wherever we traveled. Loved the trip and hope to visit again one day! Thanks Harry, God bless y’all! Numbers 6:24-26

There's something truly special about enjoying a peaceful morning with a cup of coffee overlooking the Little Pigeon River, and spotting four playful river otters must have made that experience even more memorable! We're so glad you and your family had the opportunity to explore Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, and some of the wonderful local restaurants, while still finding time to relax and enjoy the peaceful riverfront setting of our cabin. That's exactly the kind of Smoky Mountain getaway we love for our guests to experience! Thank you again for choosing to spend your family vacation with us and for sharing such a thoughtful review.

The Cabin was BEAUTIFUL. The Host was fantastic! The cabin is clean and actually spotless. When you open the front door, you smell the fresh wood and it was just amazing.The patio overlooking the river was so nice and relaxing. You can actually see the fish in the river from the balconies.The Hot tub was clean! The kitchen fully stocked with dishes, cooking supplies and the well maintained gas grill was great. Nothing like cooking steaks on the patio, overlooking the river, hearing the sound of water and just spending quality time as a family.We had 5 adults and 1 teenager. Nobody was bored at the cabin, between shuffleboard, air hockey, video games, movies, hot tub, bonfires.We loved our time in the cabin. Harry is an amazing and responsive host. We spoke throughout our stay and he was very flexible with us.This cabin stay, allowed our family to relax, and spend quality time together, which we haven’t done in years. Great showers, the washer/dryer was greats the coffee bar was beyond stocked for us.Thank You Harry for the amazing cabin and for actually putting pride in the cabin, having it very well maintained and clean. I can say, my clean is not every air bnb owners clean….. but My clean was This Cabins clean. No dust, no mildew in the showers, no cobwebs inside the house…… 5Star experience.

Thank you so much for such an incredibly thoughtful review, Ryan! It truly means a lot to us. We put a great deal of care into Take Me to the River, so hearing how much you appreciated the cleanliness, maintenance, and little details throughout the cabin really made our day. We especially loved hearing that your family was able to slow down, reconnect, and spend quality time together. From grilling steaks overlooking the Little Pigeon River and watching the fish from the balconies, to the hot tub, riverside bonfires, shuffleboard, air hockey, arcade games, and coffee bar - it sounds like you made the most of everything the cabin has to offer! Thank you as well for your kind words about our hosting. It was genuinely a pleasure having your family stay with us. Knowing that Take Me to the River helped create some special family memories is exactly why we love doing this. We would absolutely love to welcome you all back to the Smoky Mountains again!

Fisherman’s Paradise

Loved the property. Back deck practically hangs directly over the river which allowed the fishermen of the family to fish from the comfort of the deck when they weren’t wading in the river. Hot tub on the back deck is always a hit with the family. Game room was great too. Can’t forget to add that the house was well decorated, spotless, and well stocked with all the essentials.

Excellent location

Property is well located between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The house and amenities are all new and it’s in excellent condition. The host is a super communicator. We liked being near the river and felt comfortable having kids swim there. Bring water shoes or old sneakers if you want to explore the river, the rocks can be slippery (as with any river). Would stay here again.

Can’t wait to go back!

The cabin is stunning, inside and out! This is the first rental I’ve stayed in that was literally spotless. The check-in and check out instructions were clear and concise, and all of the info Harry provided was super helpful. The game room and bunk room were so much fun for our son, and the other bedrooms and bathrooms were well equipped. Our favorite part: the coffee bar! It had everything we could have wanted, to include tea for our non-coffee drinkers. We plan to come back in the summer to enjoy the water and fishing. Thanks for a great stay!

The BEST ever!

Our family had a wonderful stay here and already plan to come back! I would like to see this cabin in every season. We had all the entertainment we needed right there in and beside our cabin being right on the water to go on walks, fish, relax on the two porches with very comfy swings and hammock even sitting indoor has an amazing view that makes you feel like your outside! We loved every detail. Very clean cabin, the owners even messaged us late at night when we arrived to get us WiFi info I was super impressed with how quickly they responded and how friendly they were!

Perfect

Take me to the River is perfect as a destination itself or as peaceful accommodations near all the attractions in Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. We used it as a quiet place to rest and recharge on a 5,000 mile road trip. The home has everything you'll need and is perfectly clean and comfortable. After your morning coffee or tea on the deck listening to the river and singing birds, watch the fish, water snakes, ducks and river otters do their thing. If you get tired of that, head inside and play a game of air hockey or shuffleboard. Ok, next take a break and enjoy the private hot tub. Tired of that? Ok, head back inside and play one of the many video arcade games (our fav was Galaga). This is a wonderful place to stay and there are restaurants if you want to go out, and grocery stores nearby if you need provisions.
