Cabin Name: River Escape

River Escape is a beautiful two bedroom, two bathroom cabin located on Little River in Townsend, TN. Known as The Peaceful Side of the Smokies, Townsend sits next to the national park and is only minutes away from Cades Cove, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.

River Escape offer an extra large hot tub, river view, free wifi, YouTube TV, fully equipped kitchen and a wood burning fireplace.

This cabin is located on an easily accessible, quiet street and sits right next to Little River giving you waterfront property that is 2nd to none. Right from the cabin, you can fish, swim or go tubing.

There are so many things to do in Townsend and the national park including hiking, tubing, biking, fishing, browsing the various shops, visiting Cades Cove, picnicking, swimming, visiting the Great Smoky Mountain Heritage Center and attending the various festivals/shows. After a busy day of sightseeing, you'll love returning to the warmth and comfort of River Escape and relaxing on the back porch or soaking in the large tub overlooking Little River.

We do not accept pets in any of the cabins without specific written approval from management. Only those dogs that have specific and formal training as a SERVICE dog will be allowed in our cabins. Emotional support animals are not accepted.

IMPORTANT: Out of respect for the holidays and our employees, we do NOT allow ANY check-ins or outs on Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day

Check-In:
*3 pm - there is NO check-in office, you go straight to the cabin

Check-Out:
*10 am - Please follow our checkout guidelines.

Fireplaces:
*On During: October 1st - April 1st

Common Concerns:
*Road Conditions: Some of our cabins are on steep, narrow, curvy, mountain roads. If you are concerned about road conditions to get to a cabin, please feel free to ask us! None of our cabins requires a 4-wheel drive under normal weather conditions, but some do in inclement weather.
*TV & WiFi: We do have TVs and WiFi in most of our cabins. There are times when heavy cloud cover, weather systems, mountains, or trees will cause problems with the signals. We always want our guests to have the comforts they want on vacation, but there are times we cannot control this problem.
*Pests & Wildlife: Here in the Smoky Mountains, we have lots of native bugs and wildlife. All of our cabins are treated for pests, but there are times you will find bugs or even have trouble with bugs. Fall/Winter is ladybug season in the Smokies, and these little buggers are attracted to heat, meaning your cabin and every other one out there that is warm! They will swarm to the cabin, and you'll probably see them alive/dead on windowsills, in vents, etc. Rest assured that your cabin has regular pest control and is professionally cleaned, including bug removal, before and after your stay. However, these bugs come back right away, and unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done about them until the season passes. Please never feed, taunt, or approach any wildlife. This is their home, and we are the visitors.
*There are no refunds for storms or power outages. If there is a power outage, there will be no water and potentially no heat. Storms can also make roads impassable, so if a storm is in the forecast during your reservation, come prepared with water and non-perishable food, etc.

FEES: The management company of this cabin charges a $20 per stay Damage Waiver Fee to every customer. It is automatically included in your rate. This covers our guests for up to $350 worth of accidental damage should damage occur during their stay. If damage occurs to the cabin, furnishings, etc, please report it to management as soon as possible so that the damage can be repaired. You may opt out of paying the $20 damage waiver fee by putting down a $350 REFUNDABLE damage deposit.

✨ Peace of Mind & Travel Insurance:
I want your stay to be stress-free and enjoyable. Please note that this home has a strict cancellation policy. Because life can be unpredictable, we encourage all guests to purchase travel insurance for extra peace of mind. This way, you can book with confidence knowing you’re protected no matter what comes up. This can be done at www.insuremytrip.com where you can pick the coverage that suits your situation.

    Unknowingly I picked the PERFECT place. The location was fantastic; close to town, but also secluded enough to enjoy the sounds of the river. The best part was that it was on the running route of the Vacation Races Smoky Mountains 1/2 Marathon, so those that weren't running could cheer on the runners from the comfort of the front porch.

    We had a wonderful time. The cabin was as described. Upstairs bedroom and bathroom would be perfect for kids but the adults made it work. Deck overlooking the river was wonderful. Living room setting was adequate but would have been perfect with recliners instead of couch.

    Cabin was nice but we had no idea that the highway was so close to the cabin and river. This is the problem you have when you get the address a few days before your reservation. Road noise took away the relaxation of the river. The location was convenient but do book if you want isolation and soothing river relaxation. Over all cleanliness was OK. The cabin floors needed a very good mopping. I would not book this site again.

    Perfect relaxing vacation. Beautiful cabin by a calming river. Loved sitting on the deck in the evening chilling out with a glass of wine listening to the birds and river.

    We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. We loved sitting by the river and relaxing. Our only complaint is that the bed in the downstairs bedroom was not comfortable. We ended up sleeping upstairs.
