This cabin is wonderful! The location is perfectly located for enjoying Townsend and especially the Little River, which is right in the back yard. Very convenient for GSMNP and Cades Cove wonderings. We have stayed in this cabin several times and it feels like home. It has everything we need and the owner is very accommodating and easy to communicate with. We feel fortunate to have found it and have already booked our next stay!

This is a very sweet little property on the river front. We spent a LOT of time on that back porch just listening to the river and watching birds. Check out the upper parts of the trees every morning, and you'll likely see a bald eagle. It is close to everything in Townsend, which is such a lovely town. The place was spotlessly clean, the TV is a ROKU TV, which meant we could watch most of our services if you know your passwords, and there was plenty of hot water. Some "know before you go" items: bring a sharp knife or two, bring an extra dish towel, and if you want to keep leftovers, you should bring storage containers too. This was a five-star VRBO. So many don't live up to the pictures, and this one did. A rustic cabin on the river that is perfect for a getaway.

The cabin was awesome it was so clean and quaint and comfortable. The accessibility to the mountains was fantastic we got to see everything we wanted to run the park but I know we missed a lot as well in our short stay..Next time we will be back and stay longer! Great communication with the host as well…
