This cute cabin was perfect for the two of us. It was very clean and comfy. However, it is difficult to get down to the river because there is a steep bank with no steps. We would still happily stay here again.

This cabin is wonderful! The location is perfectly located for enjoying Townsend and especially the Little River, which is right in the back yard. Very convenient for GSMNP and Cades Cove wonderings. We have stayed in this cabin several times and it feels like home. It has everything we need and the owner is very accommodating and easy to communicate with. We feel fortunate to have found it and have already booked our next stay!

We absolutely love this beautiful cabin on the Little River in Townsend. It is clean, comfortable & quiet. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch swing & watching the river & the geese, ducks, & their babies. Townsend is a sweet town with nice restaurants & so close to the entrance to the GSMNP. The Host is very receptive & communicates well. We highly recommend staying here for a fun & relaxing vacation. We WILL be back!
