From the moment you arrive, you'll be captivated by the tranquil sounds of the rushing water, the gentle rustle of leaves, and the soothing melody of birdsong. Walk down the steps to the river level and feel the cool water rushing past your toes, or cast your line and reel in a catch of the day. During the summer, watch as the colorful tubes float by, carrying happy vacationers down the river.

The cabin itself boasts modern amenities and stylish decor, making it the perfect place to unwind after a day of adventure. Newly updated appliances ensure that mealtime is a breeze, while the plush king bed promises a restful night's sleep. Start your day with a cup of coffee on the deck, overlooking the rushing river, surrounded by the sounds of nature.

Enjoy a delicious barbecue on the charcoal grill or curl up on the deck with a good book. Stay connected with high-speed Xfinity wifi (200mpbs) and cable, or simply unplug and embrace the peace and quiet. With access to 700 feet of private river frontage on the property, you'll have plenty of space to explore and enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or a little bit of both, this Little River cabin is the ideal destination for your next getaway.

During your stay, you will have access to the entire cabin, as well as the 18-acre property it is situated on.

Townsend is a little gem hidden in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains and is known as "the peaceful side of the Smokies". This little cabin is located in a gated retreat owned by us! Our retreat consists of 4 vacation rentals plus our primary home on 7 riverfront acres. Townsend has two famous swinging bridges that cross The Little River, one of which connects directly to our property, which means you can walk right across into the heart of town! Excellent food, local craft beer, chocolate, pancakes, and art all within a short distance!! Trout fishing and tubing the river are extremely popular, and we are just 2 mi. from the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and only 12 mi from the famous Cades Cove where you can get a glimpse of history and may catch some really neat wildlife while you're at it. Of course, if you wake up early enough, you may easily see an eagle or two fishing the river from the house! If everything that Townsend has to offer isn't quite enough to please everyone, we are just an easy 30 minute drive to Pigeon Forge and 45 min. to Gatlinburg with endless family entertainment.

To ensure a peaceful and enjoyable stay for all guests, parties are strictly prohibited on the property. However, we welcome friends/family-style gatherings and get-togethers, as long as they are conducted in a respectful and considerate manner. We kindly ask that you refrain from any rowdy behavior or excessive noise that may disturb the tranquility of the surroundings or disrupt the enjoyment of other guests.

For the comfort of all our guests, we do not allow pets on the property. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but hope you understand our commitment to providing a clean and allergen-free environment for everyone to enjoy.

Relax by the river
The cabin was cute, immaculate, and stocked with everything you'd want. We were right by the river. The location was just outside the Smoky Mountain Park entrance. We took the swinging bridge to a restaurant. Communication with owners was great.

Great location!
We really liked staying on the peaceful side of the mountains and we liked having a cabin by the river. Would love to come back to this cabin when the weather is warmer to sit on the porch or closer to the river and watch the tubers go down the river. Perfect for a couple!
