About this property
Fire Pit & Deck! Cozy Smoky Mtn Retreat on River
Full Kitchen | River-View Deck | 2nd-Floor Unit | On-Site Hiking
Nestled in the heart of the Smokies, this 1-bedroom, 1-bath vacation rental offers authentic mountain living. Sip cocktails on the deck, take morning strolls by the water, and end the day with s’mores around the fire. Hiking trails and the stunning Tuckaleechee Caverns are nearby, while Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg sit within 20 miles. When you’d rather stay put, you’ll find plenty of fun to be had right from home!

About the area
Townsend
Located in Townsend, this apartment is in the mountains and on the waterfront. While the natural beauty of Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Cades Cove can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can explore Ober Mountain.
Tube Junction and River Rage Go-Kart Track are also worth visiting. Take some time off to enjoy the health/beauty spas in the area, or get some fresh air with adventures like hunting and hiking/biking trails nearby.
