  Beautiful cabin with a wonderful view of Little River from the back deck. Lots of wildlife, including chipmunks and a river otter playing on the boulders right below us. There is no river access at the cabin, just an at-your-own-risk steep path below the deck that is impassible for the last 15 feet so we didn’t risk it because we forgot our rappelling gear ;). We walked down to Little Arrow campground to access the riverfront and do some exploring. Loved having the fire pit going every night and relaxing in the hot tub. Having rocking chairs would have made it spectacular but we will bring some folding ones next time. The KOA was mostly quiet and not a bother at all. The cabin was the perfect size for the two of us for a week. The floor had a lot of character, lol. If you plan to stay in the fall or winter, bring a couple of throw blankets to snuggle under on the couch or deck. The kitchen was nicely stocked with dishes, even had some salt/pepper, sugar, syrup, and coffee filters. We bought firewood in town and found plenty of twigs lying around. The tree in front of the cabin has a large fat lighter limb joint (nature’s kerosene) left laying there from a recent trimming. I used a few chips from that to start fires in the fire pit. The cabins around us were empty most of the week and it was very peaceful. We hiked 15 miles of trails in the park during our 6-day stay here - beautiful country!

  Management Response: Thank you guys for staying with us at River Bend. There is a common area to the right of the cabin where you can directly access the river. It is only about 75 yards away. Thank you for leaving your thoughts on your experience. We love hearing about our guests stay!

  Nice cozy cabin for two. High view of the river and a nice back deck and hot tub.our suggestion to make this a 5 star stay would be to have a little place (closet or chest) to unpack your suitcases. Huge tv and nice gas fireplace.

  The best vacation ever! It was so beautiful and peaceful that we didn't want to leave. We couldn't have picked a better place to spend our honeymoon!

  Great little cabin. We had a wonderful time. The cabin was very clean and efficient. Everything was just right for a two person getaway. We really enjoyed sitting by the fire of a evening and listening to the river just below us. It rained one night that we were there, and it was so relaxing to listen to it on the metal roof. Cathy Moore was very pleasant and easy to work with. I would highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a few days of relaxation.

  Wow what a fantastic cabin, great quiet location. The cabin is beautiful, beautifully furnished, plenty of utensils to enable self catering. Really good internet,. Wee didn’t need to use the fire but it looked great and of course a good looking hot tub. River view was stunning, supermarkets and restaurants within a 10 minute drive, everything you could need. One small improvement would be to include a set of drawers for clothes for those of us staying for longer periods. We would definitely return.
• Andrea P - 11/4/2018
  Loved this cabin! Perfect getaway for 2. Hopefully we can return soon.
• Gary Walker - 10/16/2018
  This was a cozy welcoming cabin, perfect for 2!!! We had everything we needed and enjoyed a relaxing week in Townsend!
• Tamara Mozingo - 11/5/2018
  Awesome little cabin. Just what we was looking for. We had no phone service much while we was there so that was even better. Didnt get to use hot tub when was planned due to rain but didn't find the switch to turn it on nor for the tub inside. I did not want to leave. Awesome outdoor area.
• Natalie Gerhardstein - 1/2/2018
  Thank you so much for a lovely stay! We loved the fireplaces and cabin location - cabin was well supplied and we hope to return another time!

  This was a great little cabin -- spotlessly clean, incredibly cozy, and with everything I needed and wanted. The management has really listened to earlier reviews -- there's now a great parking area out front. I enjoyed the outdoor hot tub, indoor jacuzzi, and fire pit, but mostly just spent my time sitting on the back deck listening to the river (and yes, you can hear campers across the river and folks tubing, but it's not overly loud, and the trees give great privacy). I had one maintenance issue but the managers were proactive in contacting me, and I appreciate that they're readily available for anything you need. I look forward to coming back here again someday!

  My wife and I spent our 22nd anniversary here. It was awesome. We stayed 3 nights, no other guests in the other cabins so it was super quiet. The cabin had everything we needed. We plan to return.
• Steve Hinshaw - 6/10/2019
  Great property! Beautiful view of river. Very cozy!
• Larry Castleberry - 10/21/2018
  Romantic cabin, off the beaten path but close enough to Gatlingberg, Cherokee, Pigeon Forge, Cades Cove. Beautiful cabin enjoyed our stay, it was everything we could possibly want for a mountain getaway. Highly recommend it and we would book this cabin again, thank you.
• Chris - 6/7/2018
  Perfect romantic getaway! This beautiful cozy cabin was our home away from home for a couple of nights. The cabin was super clean and the area was very peaceful. We WILL be making a return visit in the future!
• Matthew Williams - 4/4/2019
  Fantastic as always.
• Rachel Neeley - 9/5/2018
  We absolutely loved our stay here at this cabin. It was the perfect size for the 2 of us, and had everything we could have wanted. The deck overlooking the river was a huge bonus and we spent a lot of evenings and mornings just watching the river. We didn't even mind the campground across the river -- another reviewer mentioned it but we are campers ourselves so we didn't mind at all. Even the people on tubes weren't a bother -- most were just having fun, not out to make noise or cause any problems. The only issue we had with this quaint little cabin was the driveway, or lack thereof. It rained every afternoon while we were there and by the time we left to head home, there was a huge puddle of mud across the whole yard. There was no way around it. A little gravel would go a long way to making this a 5 star review! Oh, and some better back deck patio furniture would be nice, but we really enjoyed the cabin regardless!

  Management Response: We are having some gravel delivered soon and will look at the patio furniture.

  It was a very good cabin for two people. Very comfortable, in quiet location away from the crowd but with good WIFI and cable to keep in touch.
• Patsy Emmons - 11/6/2017
  It was a lovely cabin in a beautiful setting. I couldn't fill out the guestbook bc I broke my wrist the day before I arrive. I would recommend this cabin. Absolutely loved it.

  Management Response: Thank you so much for staying with us Patsy. We hope that your wrist heals quickly!!

  The cabin was beautiful and very warm and welcoming! The hot tub was great for relaxing at the end of the day, and the sound of the river was an added bonus.
