Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner on the river! In the summer you can people watch as tubers float by.
Located on the river. No, that isn't rust on the roof of the neighboring cabin (River Bluff) those are leaves!

Adorable Riverfront Cabin * EV Chrg * Fish * Swim

Cutest little cabin there ever could be - except for it's twin River Bluff! Loft bedroom cabin with open concept right on The Little River!! Fish, swim, tube, play, and enjoy the "Peaceful side of the Smokies" in Townsend TN, located just 30 minutes from Pigeon Forge. This cabin is one of five rentals we own on a spread of 18 acres. Enjoy 700 ft of private river front access, walk across the swinging bridge to explore town, or head just 2 miles to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park!

Little cabin directly on the Little River! Walk down the steps to the river level and enjoy fishing, take a dip, or just relax and listen to sound of the rushing water - or at times in summer, you can people watch the tubers floating by. All new appliances, king bed, sofa bed, great deck overlooking the river, charcoal grill, high speed Xfinity wifi (200mpbs), cable, and access to 700' of private river frontage on property.

Access to the entire cabin/river front. Additional 700' private river front access on property.

We will be available by text/messenger during your stay

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.

Waterfront coziness at its best!
River Rock is the perfect getaway you never knew you needed. Sitting right on the banks of the Little River, it was the perfect destination for us. We had a wedding to attend in Knoxville but wanted to make it into a long wkend escape. The cabin is an easy 45 minute drive to downtown Knoxville but a world away from it. Cade’s Cove is 20 minutes away and hiking Spruce Flat Falls (and a number of other trails) is a short 10 minute drive. We did Cade’s Cove and saw lots of bears, deer, and turkeys, and the waterfall at Spruce Flat Falls is quite the reward after the climb. The cabin itself is exactly as listed, with the exception of a different sofa and different bedding. It is small & quaint, with the perfect amount of coziness, is immaculately clean, and had a well-stocked kitchen. We loved our mornings & late nights sitting on the deck and in the hot tub. Hearing the birds chirping, being entertained by the geese, and watching the rippling water is something we shall not soon forget. Take a walk over the bridge to The Abbey, the locals’ undisputed favorite restaurant. The hosts live on the property, and although we never saw them, Parker was quick to respond whenever we reached out. Check-in and out were convenient, love the simple process. River Rock is a true gem.

Peaceful and cozy property
Our two night stay was perfect! The property is exactly as listed, was clean, and easy to find/easy to check in. The location is the best part--at the end of a quiet road right on the river. Sure, there are other properties around, but it didn't interfere with the serene vibes at all. The firepit setup was so lovely, so definitely stop and buy some wood on the way. I hope to stay here again in the future!

Perfect place in Townsend
Our stay was perfect. The cabin is super clean and has everything you need, but also has an authentic cabin feel. The location was amazing, right on the river and secluded but also easy to get to everything. There’s a swinging bridge you can walk across to get to some great restaurants, too. Would definitely come back.

Quick getaway
A great on-the-spur trip to Townsend to get away from the heat of West TN. We found the cabin with no problems because of the detailed instructions. The setting was perfect and the cabin was comfortable and clean (would have preferred a regular coffee maker though). The best part was sitting on the porch watching the Little River roll by - a pleasant few days.

We are a family of 4 who love adventure and enjoy sharing some of our favorite places with you! From the ancient Smoky Mountains (did you know this mountain range is the 8th oldest in the WORLD?!), to the gorgeous white sands and glassy waters of the Florida Panhandle/Emerald Coast. Parker is an award-winning mortgage loan originator specializing in helping families start their short-term rental portfolios, while Oz is a "retired" Electronic Engineer, who now spends his days tirelessly working on each of our properties to keep them in great condition! Our daughter Taliesin who is headed to college has been involved in design and decor and our son Zolin who is still in high school just might be the one to answer your message or inquiry. We are emotionally attached to each of our properties (even though we aren't supposed to be lol) and we truly hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
