Stayed Aug 31, 2025We loved the location, right on the river at the end of the road,the porch swings were great and very quiet. Overall the cabin was clean, we did find a sock, popcorn and a coaster under the tv in the living room and the refrigerator needs a good cleaning.The wood burning fireplace caused an odor in the cabin,reminded me of my childhood home, but my wife didn't like it. It is an older property and shows some age but I enjoyed it.

Stayed Apr 12, 2025Overall the stay was pretty good. There were a few issues we ran into as far as things that house keeping had left behind. However, we immediately reached out to the property manager and she was very apologetic of the situations. The location was amazing. Our kiddos loved being so close to the water. Overall we would stay here again in the future.

Stayed Mar 30, 2025There was 4 brothers and our sister on our 3rd annual sibling vacation in the Smoky Mountains. The swings on the back porch watching and listening to the Little River was our favorite evening experience. We truly enjoyed our stay!

Stayed Nov 17, 2024We enjoyed it very much . I wish there was a floor plan of the cabin . At least a better description of the bedrooms . No tv’s upstairs we would not have rented if known.

Stayed Oct 20, 2024We had the best time at the cabin. Townsend is such of a lovely unique town. If you want to have a relaxing time you definitely want to stay here. It is in a great location. It is close to so many wonderful attractions without the busyness of a larger city. The cabin is very clean and has all of your basic necessities. The river is right behind it and you can relax by the water. It was just great! We enjoyed it immensely!

Stayed Oct 6, 2024PROS: + The park is five minutes away; none of the traffic and crowds of Gatlinburg / Pigeon Forge + Peaceful Side Social is a five minute walk and is the perfect place to grab dinner with kids (playground, great food, beautiful view, grocery store next door) + The sound of the Little River lulled us to sleep every night from the window above the bed CONS: - The only thing that comes to mind is the coffee maker, which made every type of coffee we put through it taste terrible FINAL THOUGHTS: This was a fantastic find and we definitely plan to come back in the future. We did five different hikes in the park, ate at Peaceful Side four times, loved the rustic feel of the cabin. Fantastic place!

Stayed Jun 3, 2024I would recommend this cabin to anyone. It was very clean and perfect location. We enjoyed the porch every night - watching the river and geese. I would give this cabin 10+ out of 10.
