Little River Cabin - Riverfront, 1 mile from GSMNP - Romantic Getaway!

Smoky Mountain Views is proud to present "The Little River Cabin!" This special place is ideal for a romantic getaway or for anyone wanting to enjoy the Great Smoky National Park, hiking, swimming, fishing, tubing, or biking.

Nestled amongst a small group of sweet little cabins, there is a quaint, peaceful feeling when you arrive here. Enjoy the views and sound of the river from the cabin itself or take a short walk to our little community's river entrance to go fishing or to swim. Enjoy the hot tub, firepit, arcade, gas fireplace, Cable TV, Wi-Fi, comfy king bed, and the park-style charcoal grill.

This cabin's location is a gem! It is only ½ a mile to the National Park Entrance, 9 miles to Cades Cove, 18 miles to Pigeon Forge, 20 miles to Dollywood, 22 miles to Gatlinburg or Sevierville, & 27 miles to Knoxville's Airport.

*Please note: This is an old-fashioned, one room-style cabin without a actual separate bedroom. There is a KOA campground on the other side of the river. There is no dishwasher, washer or dryer in this little cabin, but there is a laundry mat a couple of miles down the road. Also, our shower is on the small side for tall people (like my hubby) although being an avid hiker- he claims this is a good tradeoff for the location! Lastly, please remember firewood and charcoal are not provided but can be found for sale just down the road.

Guest booking must be 25 years or older. NO PETS. No parties or events. No Smoking or Drug use on property. No fireworks. Parking area and entrance are under video surveillance. Signed rental agreement REQUIRED to gain access to property. Check-In time is between 4pm and 10pm FIRM.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom and a dining area. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Adorable cabin w/great river view

Booking and check in/out was very easy. This cabin is very cute! Front porch has a swing and nostalgic wooden screened door. The interior rustic wood furniture all matches and is very sturdy. Loved the white matching dishware. Would be nice to have some plastic dishware as well in case you want to bring anything outside. Lighting fixtures are modern and cute, as well as the other decor. Best part is the fully enclosed porch with floor to ceiling windows that provide an awesome view of the river whether sitting or standing. Might be nice to have blinds on the side windows like the back windows have just for more privacy. Bed linens were clean, but didn’t have a fresh scent of being recently laundered. Hot tub was clean and up to temp, but somewhat dated and headrests need replaced because small pieces coming off in the water. Would be nice to have the lid on a hinge so you don’t have to remove completely but not a big deal. The picnic table might needs the boards replaced, but the Polywood resin Adirondack chairs and tables are in great shape and are very nice. Access to the water was so convenient and you really couldn’t beat the view!

This cabin is perfect for a couples getaway. It’s a beautiful and cozy. We loved the back patio overlooking the river. It had lots of sweet animals in the yard at all times of the day. It has access to river if you want to swim or cool off. It’s an a great location with close access to the park. We loved our stay and will definitely come back!

Townsend Treasure

This was a last minute trip and was so simple to plan. I needed additional information to be sure it would work. I got a very fast response! Communication was wonderful for the whole process. The actual cabin and location were perfect! The cabin sits on a small dead end road that is off the beaten path but very close to the main drag and the park entrance. It was spotless, well equipped, and set up for your comfort. There was a large sun room that looks out over the creek and elevated the cabin to a higher level than anticipated. The view is sort of a mixed bag. You do have the creek but you are also looking directly across at the campground on the main road. I thought this would bother me. It did not. I also believe it would be even less noticeable in the summer when the leaves are out. I actually found it beautiful to look out at night and see all the little lights and campfires in the darkness. Overall, I would recommend this cabin and location to anyone and plan to return.

River Cabin

The little cabin was cute, easy entry. Steps in front were few and easy for our ancient bodies. However, the back porch was a total shock. Just WOW!! That was our place to be, better than TV looking out over the river from tree top level. Hated to pack up and leave.
