Perfect cabin for our family to stay in for a weekend! Me, my husband, our son and my mom and stepdad all throughly enjoyed our stay and even extended a day! The host was fantastic in communication and so kind!
The location of this cabin, on the “quiet side of the Smokies”, is RIGHT on the Little River. STUNNING! We brought our dog and she loved playing in the river. Would recommend and would stay again.
We had an amazing time staying at the cabin. It had beautiful views of the river. The interior was very nicely updated and had everything we needed for our stay. It was very clean. We were in the area to go to Cades Cove. The location of the cabin was perfect. We would definitely stay here again.

From the owner: “So happy you stayed with us to visit the Smokies, and especially Cades Cove, such a serene area. We’re so happy you enjoyed our cozy cabin. Come back anytime!”
This cabin is updated and well maintained with everything you need for your stay. The special touches and decor make it extra cozy. The gas grill and eating area on the lower deck was the perfect place to spend time as you watched and listened to the river. It was so peaceful and relaxing. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Place
This is our 3rd year staying at the Cabin. We love it and it’s a great getaway. It’s unfortunate, but the costs (specifically booking/maintenance fees) continue to outpace the value of the property. If costs don’t come back in line we will have to explore other options. This is truly a great place to stay if it fits within your budget.
Property was very clean. Family and I really enjoyed the accomdations. Best part was relaxing on the deck overlooking the river. We will stay here again.

This property is for sale. No real contact at all from owner. We received all information via email from a management company. The property has 2 porches literally on river, no front or back yard. The front of house is sitting on top of a very busy highway with vehicles flying down it at all hours. In summer I sure its a great place for families wanting to relax and tube on the river. Just keep in mind, for safety reason the front of house is maybe 15ft from a very busy mountain road.
Beautiful cabin looking right over the crystal clear river! So soothing to the soul. Loved every moment there!

The property was just as pictured. I am familiar with the area so knew where it was generally located already. The river view is literally unbeatable. We loved it so so much and all girls said we would separately rent it again with our families or come back often for more girls weekends. It convenient to whatever you want to do in Townsend and again, the river being right there is priceless.

Our family loved our stay at this amazing river side cabin. It was perfectly laid out for our family of five. Sitting on the deck listening to the river was a wonderful escape. Easy access to the park made this a great stay. We would come again.
