About this property

CABIN ON RIVERS EDGE! FAMILY LOG CABIN W/HUGE GAMEROOM, TROUT STREAM!

Cabin On River's Edge is an amazing Smokies retreat in Cosby, Tennessee, that families have been enjoying year after year. This large log cabin sits directly on the banks of Cosby Creek, one of the Blue Ribbon trout streams of the Great Smoky Mountains. Children can wade, fish, swim, and float up and down this stream, ranging in depth from 1 to 3 feet in most places.

Families will enjoy the very spacious and private grounds - the property sits on 3 acres of gently-sloping hills. View the meadows and mountains from the front porch, and the ever-rushing waters of Cosby Creek from the back porches.

Kids and grown-ups love the huge basement game room, complete with ping pong, pool table, air hockey, and a 65 inch HDTV! River's Edge also has a nice-sized utility room complete with washer & dryer.

Cabin On River's Edge is comfortably appointed with fine furnishings and decor and has a complete kitchen and large dining area for great family meals together.

Cabin On River's Edge is only 7 minutes from the Cosby Entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and is less than a mile from the famous Carver's Apple House & Restaurant! Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge are each a 25 minute drive.

Neighboring houses were visible but a nice distance away. Hot tub was on the smaller side but clean and easy to use. Wish the creek was a little shallower for the kids and the drop off not so steep but nothing you can do about mother nature. Over all a nice quiet stay and the kiddos loved the game room.

The cabin was wonderful! It had all the amenities we needed and then some! Each member of my family had a space they could enjoy. My mother loved the ambiance of the back porch while listening to the creek. My brother enjoyed the game room with its pool table. My wife and I were especially greatful for the hot tub after strenous hikes in the Smokies. The cabin had the perfect location too. Close enough to all the major attractions in the area, but far away enough from all the hustle and bustle. It made the trip feel extra peaceful!

Let me start by saying the place does need some minor TLC; however, everything else was exceptional. The fact that the stream was right outside the lower slide door and you could leave the door open and hear it from the living room, was amazing. The pool table, table tennis, and air hockey were great fun when the weather wasn't agreeable to be out in. We would definitely love to visit again.

It is an amazing place to stay if you love nature. The view is beautiful all around, and the house was everything we needed for our family. There was plenty to do for everyone, no matter what kind of activity you wanted to do. Our only problem was, it was already booked after us so we couldn't extend our stay! We will definitely be back!

Cabin is stocked and clean. The creek is right outside the back door. Property was easy to access. About a 30-40 minute drive to Gatlinburg. Property manager was very responsive. Would stay here again.

Summer 2025 Family Vacation

We had a Wonderful time staying at this location, we really enjoyed the water and covered porches! We were a little disappointed to see a cabin directly behind ours. Wish there were TV's in the bedrooms and Master bed could be a bit more comfortable. Overall really enjoyed everything this place had to offer.

Relaxation at it's best!

My husband and I stayed here with our two sons, ages 18 and 19, and our dog Bailey, and we LOVED every second of it! From the relaxing sounds of the creek right outside our door, to the well maintained and incredibly clean cabin, we had a perfect family vacation and are so grateful to have had this time together at this beautiful cabin!

Nice place.

Overall trip was great! We didn’t like how big the drop off was to the creek but it still wasn’t terrible walking across.. we found some cool little creatures too!My one major complaint was We did have to wash the dishes because there was hair and fingerprints on some and there was some trash and socks under the bathroom sink in the master bath from previous guests.

Beautiful area. Cabin is nice but is in need of repairs to sustain current per stay. Games are old an unusable. Hot tub works but the jets on high are comparable to working hot tub on low. Missing down spouts causing the facia to rott/ standing water around the perimeter of the house an garage.

Relaxation not far from reality

We were all very impressed in the second that we pulled onto the road. The check-in process was easy. All the instructions were given clearly. The home was immaculate and had everything you needed for a good relaxing stay. Our teens and other family members enjoy the game room. We really enjoyed sitting on the porch, swings and listening to the river both day and night. No traffic no loud noises. It was wonderful.

Great stay at the Cabin on the River

Staying at the Cabin on the River in Cosby, TN was a great experience for our family. We really enjoyed coffee on the porch listening to the creek in the mornings. The cabin was clean and cozy. Also, there was plenty of natural beauty a short drive away, and the cabin is conveniently located to Gatlinburg. We look forward to visiting again in the future.

Beautiful valley

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It was very well stocked and clean. My kids had a blast playing in the river and it’s only about 30 minutes to the Gatlinburg entrance to Great Smokies, so we did a few small hikes too. (Note the Cosby entrance to the park is currently closed). We would definitely stay again.

Beautiful Cabin

It was everything that was advertised. The huge porches, wide open front yard and creek just steps from the back porch really make this place. The only thing we were a little disappointed in was that downtown Gatlinburg is about a 40 minute drive away and the Cosby entrance for the park was closed for repairs but still worth the stay!

Great location!!

We loved the cabin and the surroundings. We spent time on the decks, fishing, in the hot tub, relaxing and could even be outside when it was raining. The location is perfect, close enough to area attractions but far enough away to enjoy nature. We caught 1 trout in the creek. Enjoyed a day on Douglas lake, rafting, and the national park. The view of the mountains from just up the road is great to see the sunsets. Lots of space for the whole family to enjoy. We ate at Janices diner and the apple place and the dollar general had everything we needed. I would recommend this cabin for an enjoyable stay vlose to all the attractions you want.
