About this cabin rental
*Swinging Bridge Cabin* is ON The Little River - escape to the Smokies without all the crowds! Close to all the action and plenty of activities. Just 1 mile from the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and with river access 100 ft. from the front door, hike, bike, fish, tube, swim, or get some sun on the little beach w/o interacting much with others. If you feel like some action, explore Townsend, or venture just 30 min to Pigeon Forge/45 min to Gatlinburg. WiFi
This cabin is located in the heart of Townsend, TN. Townsend is a cute town in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains known for one of it's most iconic landmarks in the mountains known as Cade's Cove. The Little (not so little) River runs right through Townsend, making this a hot spot for trout fishing, tubing, kayaking, swimming, and more! Townsend has two swinging bridges that connect the town to the residential side, and one of the bridges connects right on this property! The bridge itself is public access and one of the attractions in the area, however, the public is not permitted on our property, which means private fishing, swimming, and tubing for you! Should you cross the bridge into town, you will find you are just one mile from the Great Smoky Mountain National Park a short enough distance to walk, run, ride, cycle, or drive to get there. Also located just on the other side of the bridge are The Abbey which is known for showcasing the finest local brewers craft beer and serving delicious food, Townsend Pancake House, Subway, and Smokin' Joes BBQ.
This cabin sits on 1.5 acres and you will have access to all of it, with the exception of the old barn. This parcel is part of a larger span of 5 acres and 3 houses total, one of which is also an overnight rental, and the 3rd one we live in. You will have exclusive access to the fire pit, this is not shared space, and you will have shared access to the private beach and 500' of river front for fishing/swimming/etc... Only our family and any other overnight guests from the second property would be using the shared private beach and river-front access.

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2025
The cabin was the perfect size for our family of 4 - it was clean and cozy, although we didn't spend much time inside! Our boys loved visiting the goats on property, lazing in the hot tub, toasting marshmallows in the firepit, and most importantly - river access for fishing right outside the front door. The location of the cabin is PERFECT for people wanting to fish. The only drawback was that the pedestrian bridge, which is a big part of the appeal of this property (offering easy access to "town" places to eat) is CLOSED, and has been closed for some time, due to needed repairs. I wish I had known that prior to booking.But overall we enjoyed our stay and the owners/managers were fantastic to deal with, very responsive and provided plenty of communication. We will look to stay here again - hopefully after the bridge reopens.

Peaceful and quiet. The people that walked from across the bridge were courteous of our presence around the camp fire or playing in the river. Convenient walk across the bridge to several restaurants. Close to the entrance to the National Park with no Gatlinburg traffic jams.
