Peaceful River House

Great property! Even though it is somewhat close to the main road you don’t notice the traffic. It was really nice to sit on the beautiful patio next to the river and listen to it flow. Is only 10 minutes away from shopping and 15 from the park. We’ve been to the area about a half a dozen times and this was our favorite spot we’ve stayed at.

Long weekend

Home size and location were gooOverall the location and home size worked for our families. The river access was great and the firepit and patio excellent. There was a nice flat space for boys to play in side. Cleaniless was not up to par: windows did not have screens and were dirty, toilet seat was broken and lid cracked, shower doors would not open or close easily. The hammock would have been nice but was really dirty and had beginnings of bee nest. The front porch needs a good powerwash. General maintenance and cleaning would make this an excellent property. ba. understand

Fishing Base Camp

We used this cabin as a base to return to in the evenings after fishing in the national park only 12 minutes away. The fire pit was wonderful after a long day of hiking and fishing.

Beautiful home on the river

The home and the property is beautiful. The home is very clean and we had everything we needed as far as beds, blankets, toiletries, and cooking utensils. There is covered parking for cars, however, if raining, as in our case, you will get wet going to the car. The river is beautiful and sitting outside is very relaxing. Since it was winter, we didn’t really get to use it.

Quaint little town

Townsend is very nice. Lots of great places to eat in town. The house was just as pictured. A short ride to pigeon forge and lots of shops along the way. You won’t be disappointed.

Labor Day Stay

The location and amenities of the house were perfect for myself and my grown children and spouses. We enjoyed hanging by the river at the fire pit. Nicely done fire pit. The location provided easy access to mountain biking, Cades Cove, river tubing and necessities. Would recommend this location for a great get a way.

Home again

I grew up in Tennessee and this was my first time back in 20 years. My husband and I and some close friends enjoyed just relaxing on the deck and listening to the Little River! The place was perfect and in close proximity to everything!

Beautiful property. Quiet.

Far enough away to relax. We didn’t have cell service, which I was fine with. WiFi worked and we were close enough to civilization (in Townsend) that it wasn’t a concern at all. Would stay again.

Great location

Avoided the crowds of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, and easy, easy access to the Smoky Mountains. Lots of room inside--kids had their own space. Great outdoor patio along with river. Kids had fun exploring the yard.

Felt Like Home

House is well laid out and very comfortable. Little things made a HUGE difference. TV had lots of choices, comfortable couches, automatic outside lights at night made it easy to get to the fire pit and mattress topper made this the 1st vacation without back and hip pain. Great location right on the river as stated in the description. Highly recommend.
