The cabin was awesome it was so clean and quaint and comfortable. The accessibility to the mountains was fantastic we got to see everything we wanted to run the park but I know we missed a lot as well in our short stay..Next time we will be back and stay longer! Great communication with the host as well…

The place was immaculate. The kitchen items were easy to find and organized. We loved the porch swings and watching, and listening to the River. Being older it was hard for us to get down to the water because of a steep grade in the yard. A squirrel came to relax on the back porch.

Excellent location. Wonderful porch swings. Great views. Comfortable beds. Everything very nice. Could have used more than 2 washrags and four towels for 5 days. Laundry mat nearby but extra expense. Had already washed bedspread and blanket to freshen it. Nice decor and kitchen.

Riverside Paradise was exactly what I had hoped for with our trip to the GSMNP! Townsend is truly the Peaceful Side of the Smokies. Easy drive to the Park entrance. The cabin was decorated beautifully, clean, & felt very private. The back porch was my favorite spot. Sitting on the porch swing, drinking tea, & watching the Little River. So relaxing. I highly recommend this VRBO.

Quick Weekend Trip

We really enjoyed the cabin. The weather couldve been better but it worked out. I would say that to make the place even better is to have steps or path down to the river; Im a disabled vet and I cant walk that good anymore, but other than that we had a good time.
