This was our second stay in this cabin. It is very accommodating and has everything you need! We always enjoy our stay here, it is very cozy!!❤
Jennifer Dodson (Pontotoc, MS)
We have been coming to the Smoky Mountains for years. We love Townsend!!!! River Dreaming is a great cabin to get away from the crowds and unplug. Loved that there was NO clock in the cabin. This is the perfect setting to give you and your spouse time to reconnect. I would give this cabin 10 STARS if I could!!!! We will definitely be back. Thank you for sharing your cabin.

Cabin was great, very clean and cute and a great location to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.
Kim Cox (Oak Ridge, TN)
Loved short walk to river for fishing. The leather recliners were great for football games. Great location, just minutes off main road. Rustic cabin with comforts of home. Very clean! The view from back porch was amazing! We loved the front screen porch to store our bikes during the rain. Easy check in and excellent communication!
Tammy Hunt (Fairmont, NC)
We were very pleased with the cabin, there was plenty room & it was a great location to everywhere. The location to the river was great, I caught my first trout. I would highly recommend this cabin to family & friends, also I'll be booking this cabin in the future.
Sandra Hill (Janesville, WI)
Very cute and cozy cabin. Loved it.
Eric Starenchak (Youngwood, PA)
We really enjoyed the time we spent at this little cabin. We loved the mornings on the front porch and the river access!
DONALD ROWLAND (Lucasville, OH)
The cabin was cozy, clean, and well stocked. When we have a grandchild turn 10 we take them on a 10th Birthday adventure. This particular grandchild wanted to fish and your cabin fit the bill while allowing us to social distance and still have a great time. The screened porch was perfect for enjoying coffee as well as eating all of our meals. The kitchen and grill made cooking a breeze. My husband particularly enjoyed the reclining sofa and the boys loved the steep climb to the comfortable bedrooms.We hope to be back next year with the next grandchild!
Joyce (Pleasant View, TN)
What a wonderful cabin. The walk to the river is convenient and the front porch is amazing! The cabin was so cozy we felt right at home. We got to view wildlife hanging out around the cabin. We will rent with Smoky Cabins again!
