Relaxing cabin by the river

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.

Great time

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.

River escape too close to highway

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.

Wonderful cabin getaway!

This cabin offered an amazing cabin getaway for me and my sister for my birthday! Not only was the place extremely clean but the pictures did the place no justice! It was absolutely beautiful. The view was incredible and the cabin was filled with everything you need for a great stay! I would recommend this cabin to anyone and would love to stay again!

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.

Cute cabin

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.

River Escape

The cabin was very clean and nice. The decor was so cute. Everything was comfortable (but couch may need to be replaced soon). Kitchen was well-stocked--we had everything we needed. LOVED the covered deck out back, and the hot tub. Soothing river sounds were delightful. Close to downtown Townsend, which has and IGA and some quaint restaurants with good food. We had a couple of small issues, which were taken care of immediately. We would definitely stay here again.

room for improvement

The river was why I chose this cabin and it did not disappoint, however, there were lots of other things to be disappointed about. The beams in the ceiling were actually splitting and some boards had been hammered over them. The cabin is very noisy. No one could do anything without it being heard throughout making it difficult for sleeping. Rocks were used to close the upstairs doors for the bedroom and bathroom. Rocks! The doors would not stay closed in that area at all. The oven was dirty. What may have been burned on cheese was hanging on the oven rack. The cabinets were crammed with a hodge podge of dishes and pots and pans, however, there was only one skillet and the skillet as well as all of the other pots and pans had the teflon peeling off the bottoms. It was scary to use them thinking I might be feeding my family teflon! The softsoap in the kitchen had been watered down. The soap in the bathrooms for guests to use was cheap round bar soap that did not last more than a couple of showers. Just a few garbage liners were left so we ran out of garbage can liners before the end of our stay. Only the cheapest of items, of which there were very few, were in the cabin. There were actually capped off wires in an opening in the wall and a coax cable hanging out of the wall. The pot holders were dirty looking, and no hand towels for the kitchen. Deck furniture was raggedy with holes in the cushions. There were piles of dirt and food on the deck where it had not been cleaned. Huge cobwebs hung from the ceiling where the planks were nailed. The concrete access, and I use that term loosely, was so busted up it was dangerous. It was dangerous to cross that mess to get to the river. Fortunately, my reason for booking this cabin was the river which did not disappoint. The view and sound of the river was amazing and I couldn't have been happier with that.

Quaint Cabin next to the River

A nice property in a great location. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property to others. Since the river is at your back door, this is a good place to do some tubing or fishing. We enjoyed building a fire in the fireplace and hanging out in the hot tub. The kitchen was great for cooking and the table was just right to play some cards. We ate at the Trailhead Steak and Trout House. Good steaks! We also had breakfast at the Apple Valley Cafe. Wonderful apple fried pies and a delicious egg, ham, and cheese croissant. My wife had the breakfast bowl and it was outstanding.
