This place was great! While we had an issue with laundry because we were traveling on a motorcycle and packing light, solutions were offered efficiently and selflessly! We were so grateful for the cabin and all the amenities- what a peaceful place to spend part of our honeymoon. We will for sure book again next time we visit the area!!

This is a great place to stay. We enjoy everything. The setting by the river, the comfort, and the especially the hospitality of those who work there and own it. We also went over to the Little River Pub and Deli, and ate there, and really enjoyed it. Its a nice and peaceful place to stay, and if you love being right next to water and the outdoors, it's a wonderful setting. Thank you so much, we look forward to being back again soon..

This place is hidden in plain sight. Perfect place for our 49th Wedding Anniversary trip. The inside of our cabin had been meticulously put together in order to carry you back to a time long ago. It reminded my wife and I of our grandparents homes down to the squeak the bed would make. Plenty of room to relax in after a day of exploring the Smoky Mountains. Our door faced the river and you never knew what wildlife you would see in it. From deer and ducks to wild Canadian geese. We will never forget this precious stay we had at this location and look forward to other times with possibly the whole family. This was a great price. I’ll let Wendy ( owner) tell you the history. Book it and have a blessed stay.

Early Spring retreat

We visited the end of March. Weather was perfect. Very peaceful and neat area. Lying in the hammock listening to the river made it very relaxing. It is conveniently located to Cades Cove and Smokey mountains.

Room on the river

It's close to the smoky mountains and on the river. The place was clean. Feels more like a motel than a separate house, it's fine, but you'll have to share the outside space with other people.

Beautiful and tranquil place right on the river. Rental was exactly as described. There is no television, so this is a perfect way to completely unplug when not exploring the Great Smokey Mountains.
