About this property

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.

Cabin was exactly as listed and shown. Enjoyed the quaintness and privacy. The access to the river was perfect for fishing and pictures. The cabin was clean and well stocked with toiletry needs, cooking utilities, and even games. The hot tub was heated and clean. The owners were very helpful with directions to the property and help recommending a place for dinner. We would definitely stay again

River Rock stay 2025

We had a wonderful stay. The river was amazing with easy access. The owners goats came to visit one evening and it was amazing to watch and interact with them. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. We hope to be able to stay there again.

The cabin was the perfect getaway for our long fishing weekend. Though cozy and basic, it was just the right size for two. The shower had plentiful hot water and great pressure, and the mattress was extremely comfortable. We loved the view on the Little River and my son spent a bit of time fishing it as well (though we spent most of our fishing efforts in the national park). We adored Townsend in general - quaint, quiet, and has everything one needs. The location to the National Park entrance cannot be beat. We will definitely return!

Quiet getaway

My husband and I were very happy with our stay! The cabin is private and right on the river. We loved the fact that you could park your car and walk or ride our bikes to the restaurants and stores on the Townsend strip. The cabin is updated and just the right size for a couple wanting a romantic getaway. We will definitely stay here again!

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.

This property was exactly as described. I loved all the extra touches; beach towels, hand soap; basic spices … just to name a few. It was so peaceful, we were able to enjoy the outdoors. The porch was wonderful to sit , have coffee and enjoy the river. It is very private. It was comfortable. We will be back for sure!

Cozy retreat for a couple

Fiancé and I went to East Tennessee for a quick getaway. Very cozy little cabin right on the river. Cabin had everything we needed. After years and years of cabins in pigeon forge and gatlinburg, I think getting one like this a little away from everything is a lot nicer. Would definitely stay here again.

In addition to very responsive owners and ease of renting and checking in, the River Rock was better than we were expecting! It's a perfect location on the river, at the end of the road, very private and very easy access to town and the Smokies. The owners were responsive to every need and have a "gracious host" mentality! We will definitely try to book this one again!

Perfect location for our Family Vacation !

The location was amazing and Oz couldn't have been nicer! Sleeper sofa appeared brand new and was super comfortable. We were able to cook basic meals daily in the kitchen but there are great restaurants in walking distance and anything else you might need within 5-10min drive. We spent most of our time here visiting SMNP but also enjoyed many local attractions as well. River access was amazing to swim/fish. This place has it all!

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!

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.

Little River(front) Cabin in Townsend

Absolutely great location near the footbridge and near check-in for tubing at River Rat! Host was unresponsive to any of my messages, and sent the wrong address and access code for our rental via email regarding check in, I subsequently realized that the message sent via VRBO app and the email sent to me had completely different information. Will not be staying there again.
