Nice little cabin on the river.
Glen T (Seymour, TN)
The perfect place for us to stay in our first mountain getaway ALONE! As newly empty nesters this was the most peaceful week we’ve ever had in our favorite area. That master bed was so refreshing!! Thank you for not having the worst cheap bed available!
Jerry Swafford (Crossville, TN)
It was quiet, we got to rest and enjoy our stay, the Cabin was clean, thanks for the stay!
Charlene willis (Morgantown , KY)
Beautiful clean cabin very quiet and peaceful getaway. Would definitely stay here again
Bobby Holloway (Hernando, MS)
Great location near the National Park restaurants and all amenities but hidden from everything. We will always stay at that location
Sharon Standard (Midway, GA)
Loved “River Dreaming”. It was very close to the entrance to Cades Cove, which was the major reason for our visit to Townsend and the Great Smokey Mountains. We absolutely loved the screened in front porch, the rockers, and the two large swing beds. The ceiling fans, lights, and table were also great to have on the front porch. The AC in the house was nice to come home to after a day of riding bikes and hiking, although we spent most of our time on the porch. We enjoyed our stay!
Lee Sargent (Acworth, GA)
Great cabin in relaxing setting. One of the most comfortable and well equipped cabins we have stayed at and it is right outside the entrance to the park. We enjoyed watching the horses in the field behind the cabin in the morning and the fireflies at night. I had to work one of the days of our trip so the high speed wifi was an unexpected bonus.
Gerard Zornow (St. Petersburg, FL)
Lovely cozy quiet location. Cabin had everything needed for our stay. We brought our clothes and food. The friendly pair of horses that visited out back were an added treat.
We’ll be back.
Krista Horsley (Whitesburg, GA)
Very nice little cabin. Clean and peaceful. Pictures lead you to believe it s located on the river ,which it is not, but it is only a short walk away.
Lindsay Mundy (Nashville, TN)
Great last minute trip for the weekend led us to this cabin. Perfect for a quick getaway!
