"River Dreaming" is a rustic but comfy family cabin located within walking distance to Little River in Townsend, TN. Known as "The Peaceful Side of the Smokies," Townsend sits next to the national park and is only minutes away from Cades Cove, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.

On the first floor, you will find a small but well equipped kitchen with eat-in dining. The coffee maker is a Keurig so bring your pods for a fresh cup of Java. The living room is comfy with a couple of loveseats, a rocker and a wood burning fireplace. The full bathroom is on the main floor as well.

Upstairs you will find two spacious bedrooms. Each bedroom has a queen size bed and other furnishings. Each bedroom has a TV for late night watching or movies for the kids. Please note that the bathroom is on the main floor.

This cabin is located on an easily accessible, quiet circle and sits about 100 yards from the river frontage. The cabin is about 100 yards from the river sitting on property with joint property river access. Right from the adjacent property, you can fish, swim or go tubing. The outdoor screened in porch is very large and has multiple chairs and a table for outdoor dining. There is also a really nice firepit for those cool evenings making smore's and memories with your loved ones.
And don't worry about cleanliness, we pride ourselves on keeping clean, sanitized cabins so that you can feel at home while on vacation.

Common Concerns:
*Road Conditions: Some of our cabins are on steep, narrow, curvy, mountain roads. If you are concerned about road conditions to get to a cabin, please feel free to ask us! None of our cabins requires a 4-wheel drive under normal weather conditions, but some do in inclement weather.
*TV & WiFi: We do have TVs and WiFi in most of our cabins. There are times when heavy cloud cover, weather systems, mountains, or trees will cause problems with the signals. We always want our guests to have the comforts they want on vacation, but there are times we cannot control this problem.
*Pests & Wildlife: Here in the Smoky Mountains, we have lots of native bugs and wildlife. All of our cabins are treated for pests, but there are times you will find bugs or even have trouble with bugs. Fall/Winter is ladybug season in the Smokies, and these little buggers are attracted to heat, meaning your cabin and every other one out there that is warm! They will swarm to the cabin, and you'll probably see them alive/dead on windowsills, in vents, etc. Rest assured that your cabin has regular pest control and is professionally cleaned, including bug removal, before and after your stay. However, these bugs come back right away, and unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done about them until the season passes. Please never feed, taunt, or approach any wildlife. This is their home, and we are the visitors.
*There are no refunds for storms or power outages. If there is a power outage, there will be no water and potentially no heat. Storms can also make roads impassable, so if a storm is in the forecast during your reservation, come prepared with water and non-perishable food, etc.

FEES: The management company of this cabin charges a $20 per stay Damage Waiver Fee to every customer. It is automatically included in your rate. This covers our guests for up to $350 worth of accidental damage should damage occur during their stay. If damage occurs to the cabin, furnishings, etc, please report it to management as soon as possible so that the damage can be repaired. You may opt out of paying the $20 damage waiver fee by putting down a $350 REFUNDABLE damage deposit.

✨ Peace of Mind & Travel Insurance:
I want your stay to be stress-free and enjoyable. Please note that this home has a strict cancellation policy. Because life can be unpredictable, we encourage all guests to purchase travel insurance for extra peace of mind. This way, you can book with confidence knowing you’re protected no matter what comes up. This can be done at www.insuremytrip.com where you can pick the coverage that suits your situation.
