About this property

Charming house with a natural spring, fire pit, and river access

Stay in our cozy modern farmhouse built in 2022 as a small replica of the old homeplace that stood strong for over 100 years. Step out from the one bedroom suite onto the stone patio, to relax and listen to the fresh water spring. Roast marshmallows on the open fire pit. Little River access is only a short walk. Located just a 1/2 mile from the city limits, the Springhouse is close to the Smoky Mtn. National Park, Townsend Bike Trail, River Rat Main Tubing Outpost, Townsend festivals, and the local IGA grocery store. Modern kitchen, walk-in shower, electric fireplace, and vaulted ceilings complete this little home away from home making it a repeat vacation spot for sure! *Due to allergies, the home is listed as animal free. Thank you for understanding.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The house was very open and bright on a quiet street but close to everything we enjoyed in the area. The bed was comfortable, and I even found one of the pillows on the bed I could sleep on. My husband and I love Cades Cove and the festival in Townsend we attend each year. Of course the mountain views are awesome....Will recommend to all our friends.

Weekend Getaway

We came for just a long weekend. We love this cabin, even remodeled our house with ideals from this place from where we stayed the first time. It is so peaceful yet close enough to things. We love staying here and can’t wait to visit again.

A Great Little Get-Away

Beautiful little farmhouse with everything I needed for my visit to Townsend. Well-decorated and stocked. Loved the patio for early morning coffee, and the private river access. Very close to all that Townsend has to offer, and convenient to the National Park and Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg.

Charming Stay

The place was full of history and rich character. The small details were all cohesively blended together to make a simplistic yet scenic stay. The view of the mountains were gorgeous and the sounds of the bubbling spring and flowing creek were very serene. It was perfect for a weekend getaway. We love Townsend and this place was perfect for the two of us to relax and chill.

Anniversary Getaway

This house was perfect. My husband and I stayed for a few days after an overnight hike to LeConte that we did for our anniversary. The house is beautiful and clean. A nice patio to drink coffee on in the morning and so close to everything we wanted to do. Townsend is a wonderful town with several great restaurants and coffee shops that is only a few minutes drive from the house as well as the Townsend entrance to the park. We hope to be back soon!

Beautiful Spring House

This property couldn’t have been better! It was super clean! It’s decorated beautifully. The attention to detail from the furnishings, to the kitchen utensils, and down to the Watkins spice rack is impeccable. We loved how quiet the area is. But minutes away are great places to eat and shop! If you’re into water rafting/tubing, this is the place to rent! I really didn’t want to share how wonderful the Spring House is because I want it available for when my husband and I go back!

Perfect Weekend Getaway!

It was wonderful! The only trouble we had was that the GPS didn’t take us to the house but one road past where we needed to go. It was a beautiful little spot with such an interesting story! We will certainly come back. So close to the main road yet so peaceful! The patio beside the spring, the sound of the river across the street, perfect for relaxing! The special touches like the s’mores basket when we arrived and the resident gnomes by the spring made our stay so memorable! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!! Thanks for having us!

Beautiful, quiet stay

This property was exactly as stated on VRBO. Super clean. Comfortable. Homey feel. Loved the patio and fire pit. Even saw raccoons in a burrow in the natural spring area. Loved that it was far away from the hustle and bustle of the main tourist areas but close enough to get to Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg easily. Owner was very responsive. They even had a small s’more’s makings/ingredients on the counter when we arrived. One suggestion: coffee mugs. Other than that, it was perfect! Would stay here again, for sure.
