Stay On River Time in Gatlinburg, Tennessee! Romantic nights and relaxing days await at this pet-friendly, 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom cabin for 2 (plus precious pups) in the Great Smoky Mountains. As the name suggests, you'll be right on the river, so you can hear, see, and enjoy the rushing water. Sip coffee by the water's edge on the patio, cast a line to fish for a while, or dine at the table on the screened deck — that happens to have a bubbly hot tub, too!
Inside, take a rain shower in the bathroom or draw a hot bath in the clawfoot tub in the bedroom. Snuggle with your partner in the king-size bed while watching entertainment on the mounted TV or sit in the armchairs and chat or read for a spell. Moving into the living room, cozy and warm vibes hit you instantly. Classic cabin finishes mesh with modern luxuries to provide a comfortable and inviting space to unwind. Lounge on the sofa, play shows on the big screen TV, or drink moonshine by a crackling fire in the stone (gas) fireplace.

Very good

The place was ok, plenty of room for the dogs that was the best thing. Other things that need improved, can see daylight through walls, very breezy and cold. The one towel thing kinda weird, not a deal breaker but still not very cool. Place was pretty clean.

Relaxing stay in a convenient location In Gatlinburg. The mountain stream background and hot tub make it worth the trip every time. This was our 2nd time at this cabin and definitely not our last.

Had a very relaxing couple of days. The hot tub on the river was wonderful. Close enough to walk to all attractions we are interested in. Thank you for letting stay here.

Third stay at this property and we still enjoy it very much. The fire place, the hot tub, we walked to dinner at No Way Jose’s on a super crowded Saturday before Christmas. Convenient, clean and cozy! Will stay here again for sure.

My husband and I and two dogs went to Gatlinburg for the weekend. May 28- June 1 2025. The cabin is very cozy and rustic. It has the river out back , which you can hear and is very soothing. The screened in porch was nice. The bedroom is very spacious.

Thanks so much for sharing your weekend with us! It really means a lot knowing you and your pups enjoyed the river sounds, cozy cabin, and peaceful porch. We absolutely love hearing how the space felt relaxing and spacious for you both. Hope you left feeling refreshed and a little more connected to nature.
nice location and walking distance of the gatlinburg strip
We wanted to stay in gatlinburg this trip to PF/Gatlinburg area so we could do lots of walking up and down the strip. This cabin is the perfect distance if you like to walk. Cabin was very clean and nice. Accurate listing. We had our dog with us and were able to leave him crated if we walked out. If we are looking to stay in the same area, we'll book this place again.

Very disappointed
This cabin is very old with mold in bathroom no water pressure in shower. Kitchen utensils almost non existent and did not cook anything because so nasty. The cabin smells of mold and mildew with a roof leak in living room and right by hot tub so we couldnt use it. Tub was only nice thing about cabin and we ended up only staying one of the three nights because of the leaks and mold
