THE LITTLE RIVER BARNHOUSE – AN INTIMATE RIVERSIDE COUPLES RETREAT
A CLIFFSIDE ESCAPE FOR TWO
The Little River Barnhouse is a one-of-a-kind Smoky Mountain hideaway designed just for couples. Nestled on a bluff overlooking the Little River, it offers uninterrupted views of Townsend below and the Smoky Mountains beyond. From the moment you step onto the private deck, you’ll know this isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a place to reconnect, recharge, and make memories together.

THE BARNHOUSE EXPERIENCE • 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom — a cozy retreat perfect for two • Rustic-modern design — the warmth of a farmhouse with the convenience of modern finishes • Open living area — comfortable seating, soft lighting, and large windows to bring the outdoors in

OUTDOOR LUXURY
The Barnhouse was created for couples who love the outdoors but still want luxury at their fingertips. • Covered porch with a private 2-person hot tub • Deckside fireplace perched at the cliff’s edge • Sweeping cliffside views of the Little River, Townsend, and the Smoky Mountains

ROMANCE IN EVERY SEASON
Each season brings its own atmosphere for romance: • Winter: Cozy evenings by the fireplace with snow-dusted mountain views • Spring: Coffee on the porch as the trees bloom and the river sparkles • Summer: A soak in the hot tub after tubing or hiking in the Smokies • Fall: Crisp air, brilliant foliage, and sunsets that light up the valley

It was the perfect cabin for our honeymoon! Everything was fantastic. Easy to reserve, great communication, easy access, & the cabin was absolutely gorgeous.
Cabin was great clean. Close to where we spend our day in cades cove. Easy check in & out. Great host left snacks for patrons. Overall would stay again & recommend to so one to stay there
First off, communication with the host was great. She was always quick to respond when I had questions leading up to our stay. Also appreciated her reaching out when we hadn’t arrived yet. I told her we wouldn’t get in until midnight, so she had the house and exterior all lit up so we could see everything upon arrival. The house itself is new, very clean, nicely decorated, and fully stocked kitchen. Location to the cute town of Townsend was very convenient. The drive to Cades cove was 10-15 minutes. And Pigeon Forge was about 50 minutes. Overall, loved the area and peacefullness. Would definitely stay here again!
