Very clean and open space. The cabin was close to the Cades Cove road and near grocery stores, gas stations, and restaurants. Bed was super comfy and the cabin was decorated nicely. Although there were cabins close it was still very quiet. The river behind was absolutely beautiful and the sound of the water flowing down the rocks was calming and peaceful. Parking was ample. Just overall very happy with the cabin.As a matter of fact I opened VRBO to see if it is available foe our dates next year!!

We have stayed here several times before and as always it was terrific. Cabin is clean and a good location. We love sitting on the back porch and listening to the river. Although the cabins are close to each other, we have always had good neighbors. Book this cabin if you get a chance.

Beautiful, simple cabin with a great river view

We loved the simplicity of this cabin and the beautiful river view! We enjoyed fishing on the river, walking to Townsend restaurants and the 5 minute drive to the park. A great location for a getaway. The cabin is clean and simple. The bed is comfy and the porch is a perfect place to spend the mornings and the evenings watching the river go by. We were blessed to meet the host, Scott. A great guy and a friendly host.

Great cabin! Great location!

We were in town for the Bronco Celebration. The cabin is in a perfect location near the event field and for relaxing by the river. It was very clean with a really comfortable bed. The shower is a tad small but certainly works to get you clean. Plenty of parking space, even if you are towing a trailer. We had the opportunity to meet the owner and he was extremely kind and friendly. Overall, we had a wonderful week, even if there were some pretty heavy rains at night.

Nice little cabin, perfect for just the two of us, and a peaceful retreat from the crowds. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch listening to and watching the Little River go by. Very easy to access and close to anything you might need while there.

Nice place, convenient to everything

House was adorable, right on the water, and close to everything. It's not secluded, but we knew that based on the location. It was clean and well- maintained, with ample hot water. Wifi was good if you need it. It's best for a couple alone or with two younger kids. We loved it and would certainly recommend it.
