Cabin Name: River Bend

Need a getaway? You will love this adorable little cabin built just for two. River Bend is located on a cul de sac and right next to Little River. Just imagine, sitting on your deck, watching and hearing Little River flowing by. It's a great place to relax and rejuvenate your soul!!

"River Bend" is a cozy, romantic studio 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.

This studio cabin has everything in one room. In one corner there is a fully equipped kitchen (minus dishwasher) and dining set. The living room with a gas fireplace & cable TV sits in another corner. The whirlpool bath is in one corner with the comfy king size bed. The other corner is the private bathroom.

The back deck features a private hot tub and BBQ grill.

This cabin is located on an easily accessible, quiet circle and sits right next to Little River giving you waterfront property that is 2nd to none. From the back deck of the cabin, you can see the river and hear it rushing by. There is river access at a common space about 50 yards down. Right from the common area of the property, 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 Bend" and relaxing on the back porch overlooking Little River. There is also a bonfire pit for your enjoyment.

One room cabin on the river
We like the one room compact cabin, perfect for 2 seniors. Nicely decorated, very clean. The back deck with a view of the river is a big plus for us. As others mentioned, the shower is small and it is difficult to turn around in. There is a long walk from the parking to the cabin door which can be a problem when it is raining. Otherwise, we hope to return next year.

Beautiful and clean cabin
We enjoyed our stay at the cabin especially the close proximity to Cades Cove. The campground below the cabin is a little noisy but no fault of the owner. The cabin is cute but has a lot of “stuff” to make it feel like home. The kitchen table was set when we arrived and there wasn’t a place to set our food items we brought. There was no place for storing luggage/ bags. The shower was small to my husband but I’m smaller so it wasn’t a problem for me. Overall, a nice place to stay especially if you are going to visit the Smokies.

Wonderful vacation spot
We absolutely loved this cute cabin on the river. We spent a lot of time watching the river go by and enjoying the fire pit. We love to fish and had a great time trying for trout. My wife and I plan to return next year for an even longer stay.

Running by the river
We were staying there so I could participate in the Half Marathon in Townsend. The hot tub and the soaking bathtub were both fabulous for me to prepare and recover. The proximity to the Smokies was great! We spent time in the mountains after the race. The cabin was in a great, quiet location, and it had all that we needed.

Dangerous doors
The cabin was clean and attractive. However VRBO must give warnings about unsafe entry and exit doors. Warping limits door opening to 14 inches to back deck and front door to about 50-70%. People with handicaps would be unable to use either. Our calls to the owners and Vrbo were not returned during our stay. We will inform all vacationers to the area that they should avoid this RiverBend Cabin due to unsafe conditions.

Mountain cabin
The cabin is beautiful and clean. Location to Smoky Mountain National Park, Cades cave, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge is great and away from the crowds. You over look the river be aware that there is a camp grounds across the river and the river is the campers hang out to cool off, if you are looking for privacy in the river you won't get it. We didn't mind because there is so much to do in the area that we didn't hang out much In the river. The cabin is very relaxing and beautiful. We will definitely stay there again!

Loved this cute little cabin!
This was the perfect size for a few nights for just the two of us! We loved having the little kitchenette, and both tubs! The smart tv was nice so we could cast some Christmas movies, too, and the wifi was very stable and fast! We loved the location, not too close to Pigeon Forge but enough people around to feel safe. The shower is definitely super small so don’t expect to shave or anything in there, but no big deal for a few nights. We did move the little table decor (wine bottle holder?) from the one little table in the bathroom to have some more space to put toiletries. On the last day I did finally find the one outlet in the bathroom behind the hanging towels! The floor is buckling, and we could feel the bumps, but they weren’t big enough to feel like we were going to trip over them. I moved the chairs footrest over to the side of the bed so I had a little nightstand as there was not one there, I would definitely have one there. I saw other reviews of not having a place to put luggage- I just put my suitcase under the platform bed frame and just pulled it out when I needed it and that served me fine, but if it’s hard for you to bend over, I could see how that might be an issue. Overall I would absolutely recommend this cabin and would come back again!
