A Little River Cabin. A Big Smoky Mountain Experience.
Wake up to the sound of the Little River and spend your days exploring the Great Smoky Mountains from one of Townsend's most convenient locations. The Little River Cabin is a charming, old-fashioned one-room cabin created for couples and solo travelers who want something simpler, quieter, and more memorable than a typical vacation rental.

Best of all, you're less than ½ mile from the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

YOUR PRIVATE RETREAT
Step inside and you'll find a cozy, open cabin centered around a comfortable king bed, classic log furnishings, and the unmistakable character of a traditional Smoky Mountain getaway.
The enclosed sunroom is one of the cabin's special spots. Sit with your morning coffee, enjoy a meal, read a book, or simply listen to the river and watch the world go by.
After a day in the mountains, step outside and soak in the private hot tub. Gather around the fire pit under the stars, or curl up beside the gas fireplace when you want a quiet evening indoors.
There's even an arcade game for a little extra fun.

THE SMOKYS ARE RIGHT OUTSIDE
The location makes it easy to spend less time driving and more time enjoying the mountains.
• Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrance — less than ½ mile
• Cades Cove — approximately 9 miles
• Pigeon Forge — approximately 18 miles
• Dollywood — approximately 20 miles
• Gatlinburg & Sevierville — approximately 22 miles
Spend your days hiking, biking, fishing, tubing, wildlife watching, or exploring the historic roads and trails of the national park. Then come home to your own quiet corner of Townsend.

A TRUE SLOW-DOWN GETAWAY
The Little River Cabin isn't a giant resort cabin—and that's exactly the point.
It's a cozy, intimate retreat for two where the river, the mountains, the fireplace, the hot tub, and the simple pleasures of cabin life take center stage.
The cabin includes a full kitchen, Wi-Fi, cable TV, washer and dryer, outdoor charcoal grill, fire pit, private hot tub, and free parking.
Please note that this is a genuine one-room cabin with no separate bedroom and no dishwasher. The river is the star of the setting, and a campground is located across the river; it can be more visible during fall and winter when the leaves are down.
Come for the Smokies. Stay for the river. Leave relaxed.

I love interior design & hosting our amazing guests! My husband, Chris, is a retired Air Force Chaplain who loves real estate. After living throughout the country, both the Smoky Mountains & Navarre Beach have become very special to us. Our short-term rental journey has been full of challenges and blessings—and God has been faithful through it all. We feel fortunate to do what we love!
