This was such a relaxing long weekend. The cabin was just what we needed. The location is perfect. Flowing river view from the back porch. Lots of things to do in the area and away from the big crowds. Highly recommended

10.0 / 10.0

We have stayed here several times before and as always it was terrific. Cabin is clean and a good location. We love sitting on the back porch and listening to the river. Although the cabins are close to each other, we have always had good neighbors. Book this cabin if you get a chance.

8.0 / 10.0

We really enjoyed being next to the river and the property in general. It is a fantastic location. The geese and other wildlife were great to watch. The river is fairly noisy (good for a while), but you can retreat inside or sit on the front porch instead. I had to contact the property manager via the VRBO app after arriving for the access code because we had not received it on time. After some minutes they responded and remotely unlocked the door. A while later they were able to send us the code. The amount of toilet paper was not sufficient for our 5 night stay so we had to buy some. The TV is mounted too high to be viewed from the couch for no apparent reason. The height cannot be adjusted. We had to move the couch back as far as allowed by a bed to make it usable, but still suboptimal. The shower is small. Useable, but tight. There is enough space to have put in a larger one. The microwave has a nightlight that can’t be turned off. We had to unplug it at night as it disturbed my wife’s sleep. There was no hair dryer, so bring your own.

10.0 / 10.0

Very clean, location great and owner very nice and helpful. We were a few minutes early notified him and he unlocked cabin early for us. Only about 15 minutes early but very nice he opened it and let us in. Definitely will go back.

10.0 / 10.0

We loved the simplicity of this cabin and the beautiful river view! We enjoyed fishing on the river, walking to Townsend restaurants and the 5 minute drive to the park. A great location for a getaway. The cabin is clean and simple. The bed is comfy and the porch is a perfect place to spend the mornings and the evenings watching the river go by. We were blessed to meet the host, Scott. A great guy and a friendly host.

10.0 / 10.0

We were in town for the Bronco Celebration. The cabin is in a perfect location near the event field and for relaxing by the river. It was very clean with a really comfortable bed. The shower is a tad small but certainly works to get you clean. Plenty of parking space, even if you are towing a trailer. We had the opportunity to meet the owner and he was extremely kind and friendly. Overall, we had a wonderful week, even if there were some pretty heavy rains at night.

4.0 / 10.0

The cabin is situated in a great area. We are big Townsend lovers. It’s right on the creek, and so close to everything you need. We are very picky on cleanliness. Our expectations are high. This cabin had great reviews on cleanliness, and that’s the main reason for choosing it. I usually only look at reviews on how clean accommodations are when choosing where to stay. I think we may have hit a bad day for it. The floors were not swept. The bathroom rugs were dirty, The towels didn’t smell well, and we found hair on all of them. When we went to go to bed we decided to run to the DG and get a lint roller for hair. One pillowcase on the bunk beds was not washed at all. The pillows were flat, and could be updated. We also found some blood on the side of the bed. I always bring cleaning supplies, so we got it wiped down. Our second day we went and purchased new pillows, pillow cases, and towels. We made the best of it, and thoroughly enjoyed a fire by the creek in the evenings. Our host was easy to communicate with, and super nice. They gave us a great hiking suggestion that we really enjoyed.

10.0 / 10.0

House was adorable, right on the water, and close to everything. It's not secluded, but we knew that based on the location. It was clean and well- maintained, with ample hot water. Wifi was good if you need it. It's best for a couple alone or with two younger kids. We loved it and would certainly recommend it.

Excellent.

10.0 / 10.0

We loved the cabin and the area. It's beautiful without all the busyness of Gatlinburg. Cabin was clean some cobwebs on light fixtures if I am being picky. However, floors, bathroom, etc all very clean and sanitary. Only disappointment was the fishing. We thought we could do some fly fishing but saw not one fish. Asked locals about it and they said that area wasn't great for fishing. Still wonderful to sit by the water though!

10.0 / 10.0

We really enjoyed our stay in Townsend. This cabin was just perfect for our family of 4. We enjoyed making a fire by the river. The cabin is right in town so not secluded but close to everything. It was so close to Cades Cove we went to drive around it three times! Great for easy park access. It’s small but had everything we needed except fire wood. We were able to buy firewood next door at the ace Hardware store. Would stay again for sure.

10.0 / 10.0

Nice little cabin, perfect for just the two of us, and a peaceful retreat from the crowds. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch listening to and watching the Little River go by. Very easy to access and close to anything you might need while there.

5 stars all the way!!! We stayed in this beautiful charming cabin for four nights, it’s very clean and cozy with a back porch and a swing plus two rocking chairs. The cabin has a full-size refrigerator, microwave, stove and coffee pot. The cabin is just a few minutes from town which includes restaurants and gift stores.

This is our second time staying in this cabin. We absolutely love the location! Nothing better than sitting in the swing with a cup of coffee listening to the river running over the rocks. So peaceful. Only issue was the coffee pot leaked so we had to go buy a new pot. We will definitely be back! Thank you! Wnot work

Very relaxing trip in a comfortable cottage, with a stream right in your backyard. We loved sitting on the back porch, listening to the stream and enjoying nature.

The cabin was perfect for a quick 3-day getaway for my wife and son before school starts back. We enjoyed being right on the river where we could get in the water and also watch tubers going by. It was also conveniently located with restaurants, stores, and a gas station nearby. We had a great time and really enjoyed our stay!

Been visiting Townsend for decades, mostly camping, but this cozy cabin was better suited for a weekend getaway with my 85-year old Momma. She loved listening to the Little River while rocking on the back porch and watching her Braves beat the Cubs on the "huge" TV. She was disappointed that we couldn't use the fireplace in the cool evenings--the knob was missing, and we didn't bring a set of pliers to turn the stem, haha. Kitchen is adequate supplied for light cooking, and there are nearby options for eating out, whether burgers, country soul food, or steak/seafood. Although it will sleep four, this cabin is better suited for two people due to lack of space for luggage (we pulled over two kitchen table chairs to set our luggage). Both the bunk and the queen bed were comfortable. Other guests have mentioned the small shower, but we had no problem with it, as neither of us are large people. Overall, this is a great cabin and, hopefully, Townsend will remain the "peaceful side of the Smokies," so we can keep coming back.

My husband and I wanted to get away for just a couple of days without getting trapped in the hustle and bustle of Pigeon Forge. This place was perfect. Just a one room cabin with plenty of space for he and I. Creek right outside was a great highlight.

We enjoyed our stay! Was perfect for the 3 of us. My husband, me and our 8 year old son. Such a beautiful area, we will be back!!!

10.0 / 10.0

The cabin was cute and it was clean. It was just the right size for one or two people . There are bunk beds, but I can't imagine staying there with more than the two of us. The bed was adorable and really comfortable. There were only a couple of things we didn't like. The shower was super small. My husband and I both are 5'11 and about 180 lbs. It served the purpose, but it wasn't great. You can't flush the toilet or wash dishes if someone is in the shower (not a big deal). We have a travel camper and the shower in that is larger than the one in this cabin. The other thing is, there is no place to unpack your bags. If you're like us, and like to unpack your things while you stay, there is no way to do this as there is no dresser and only one bedside table. We did use the bunk beds to lay our things out. Lastly, it would've been great to have more than one dishrag to use during our stay, but we found some at a local general store. The location was great. It's very close to Cades Cove and Gatlinburg. The weather was warmer there in the valley than over in Gatlinburg.There are little shops and a grocery store less than 2 blocks away. The sounds of the river behind us made this cabin perfect! The back porch swing was perfect

10.0 / 10.0

The cabin looks cozy in pictures on the website, and when we arrived it more than met our expectations. Easy parking and very short distance to the front porch. Entry was seamless. The inside was well laid out, plenty of space to move about and the back door opens to a porch with two wooden rocking chairs and a swing. The river is shallow with a shoal bottom which creates a soothing sound. The cabin was extremely clean and everything worked properly. The checkout instructions were clear and posted in the cabin. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning again soon.

I loved sitting on the back porch watching and listening to the river. The cabin is easy to get to and convenient to lots of things to do.

10.0 / 10.0

We had very nice stay in this small but very well maintained house equipped with everything you might need for the comfortable stay. Location is excellent, close to the shops, restaurants and entrance to the park. At the same time you feel like being at the very secluded place when spend time at the porch, watching the river and enjoy the peaceful surrounding. Fire pit was a big plus for our family. Thank you for the enjoyable stay!

10.0 / 10.0

We loved our time spent here! Only got to stay two nights, but it was just what the doctor ordered (literally!) for a stress-free, relaxing stay. The sound of the river was beyond blissful-would definitely recommend to others, and hope to return soon!
