THE LITTLE RIVER FARMHOUSE – YOUR SMOKY MOUNTAIN RIVERSIDE RETREAT

If you need a peaceful vacation, look no further. The Little River Farmhouse is a fully renovated, rustic-modern home set on 3 private acres beside the beautiful Little River in the heart of Townsend, Tennessee. With a backdrop of vineyards, blueberry patches, and towering 100-year-old trees, it’s the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience — a place where families, couples, and friends can truly relax while staying close to all the Smoky Mountain adventures.



THE HOME

Step inside and you’ll find a space designed for both comfort and charm. The farmhouse offers:
• Spacious living areas with large windows framing the river and mountains
• Two bedrooms including a king suite and a twin-over-queen bunk room
• Amenities: high-speed Wi-Fi, Smart TVs, washer/dryer, and remote workspace



OUTDOOR FUN AND RELAXATION

The magic of the farmhouse is just as much outside as in:
• Covered porch with a 7-person luxury hot tub
• Two large fire pits (one near the home and one riverside)
• Large yard for kids to run, play catch, and enjoy outdoor games
• Disc golf basket for family fun
• Private river access for tubing, wading, trout fishing, or simply lounging by the water



THE BEAUTY OF EVERY SEASON

Each season brings its own special magic at the farmhouse:
• Winter: Clear mountain views and peaceful riverside strolls
• Spring: Blossoms from 100-year-old maples and vibrant greenery
• Summer: Magical firefly displays that light up the evenings
• Fall: Brilliant foliage drifting across the property with crisp mountain air

Year-round, you’ll spot morning bunnies foraging, hear the soothing flow of the river, and enjoy birdwatching from the porch or living room.



LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

The farmhouse is perfectly situated for both relaxation and adventure:
• Minutes to the entrance of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park
• A short drive to Cades Cove and the Foothills Parkway
• Only 30 minutes from Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg

Whether you spend your days hiking, biking, tubing, horseback riding, or exploring mountain roads, you’ll always love coming back to the peace of the river.



GUEST PEACE OF MIND

For your security, there are three exterior cameras on the property:
1. On the corner of the house facing the driveway
2. On the carport looking back toward the driveway
3. On the back of the carport facing the barn

There are no other cameras anywhere on the property. Full details are available in the Welcome Guide.



WHY GUESTS LOVE IT

The Little River Farmhouse isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a place to connect, recharge, and create lasting memories. From riverside campfires to lazy mornings on the porch, every stay is designed to be both peaceful and unforgettable.

Whether you’re planning a family getaway, a couple’s retreat, or a small group adventure, The Little River Farmhouse is your Smoky Mountain home away from home.

    Our stay at The Little Farmhouse was the perfect getaway. The house is nestled on the edge of a vineyard, but just minutes from the center of town. Check in was convenient and Jennifer was the perfect host. She answered any questions we had within minutes. The house was spotless. WiFi access was seamless. Thanks for a great experience.

    Our family totally enjoyed the property. Great location and beautiful property with many amenities. The children and adults loved the path to the river where they could tube and the large back yard to play baseball and frisbee golf. The location was close to great restaurants and drivable to Cades Cove and Gatlinburg. It was a wonderful experience and we hope to stay here again.

    This cabin is spectacular. It has been well maintained by the owner and is easily one of the best rentals our family has used on VRBO. Jennifer was our point of contact, and I can't speak highly enough about how professional and helpful she was during our stay. If you want to relax in the foothills of the Smokey Mountains in a beautiful cabin next to a river, this is your spot! We highly recommend the Little Farmhouse On the River!

    The house was everything we needed to get away with a family of four. Plenty attention to details, things like setting out towels by the door so we could relax in the hot tub after a long drive. Had everything we need to relax either by the fire or by the river. Really close to the national park so we didnt have to drive far.

    My son and I came for spring break and had the best time. Great location, close to lots of hikes and attractions. We both loved the river access. And used the hot tub every night after hiking.The owner has thought of everything in this house to make your stay as comfortable as possible. We wanted for nothing. Will definitely be back.

    My husband and I needed a weekend to ourselves and that is exactly what we got. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, especially the hot tub. Love that it is on the covered porch so that even though it rained, we still could enjoy it.

    This is our second stay here. It won’t be our last either! This beautiful place is nestled in Townsend close to places yet away from the hustle. The views of the morning sunrise is indescribable. The house is set up with so many thoughtful add ons. Inside and out. Thank you from 2 best friends, 1 local and 1 out of state.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was a perfect place to have a relaxing family vacation. We loved the river and the hot tub, and had a great time roasting marshmallows in the evenings. My husband and daughter had a grand time gathering black walnuts that had fallen from the many trees around the house. The house was clean and very welcoming. The only problem was we had to leave at the end of our vacation!
