Mark Stanfield (French Lick, IN)
We loved the big front porch and the short walk to the river. Very clean cabin and close to town. Hope to stay again!
Beverley Harden (WASHINGTON C.H., OH)
This cabin was absolutely amazing and exactly what we needed. It was very clean and we enjoyed the quiet and peaceful area. The view at the cabin was beautiful and even though you can enjoy the idea of being in a secluded location, it is very convenient to places to visit and shop. 5-Stars for sure!!!
Martha Huard (Irvine)
Had a great stay! Love the proximity to Cades Cove.... could go there daily and be happy!.. The drive to Gatlinburg was beautiful... and driving the Dragon's Tail was a hoot.
ERIKA MEDELLIN (KENOSHA, WI)
Great and cozy cabin. Only wished we could stay longer.
Deanna Morris (Burlison , TN)
Peaceful, clean, beautiful.. I would definitely stay here again
Ashley Scott (Pickens, SC)
We really enjoyed our weekend getaway with our children in River Dreaming. The boys enjoyed the walk to the river while us girls relaxed by the fireplace watching movies!
Miranda Sanders (Saltillo, MS)
River dreaming is a cozy little cabin with country decor making us feel as if we were home.
Ann Mcdonnell (Wilmington, NC)
This was our second visit to River Dreaming. Such a great place to stay as a family with a little one. Exploring the property is so much fun!
Sherry Burgess (Townsend Irvine, TN)
The space is small but very cozy and inviting. It was immaculate. The front porch is massive and wonderful. It is so peaceful. The cabin is close to everything and easily accessible. It is perfect for 2 people or small family. Bedrooms are spacious and lovely. Internet service was great and good tv channel selection. Fireplace was nice. A great experience! Bowtie, our dog, loved the open yard.The only reason I gave this cabin a 4 is that the bathroom is downstairs and the bedrooms are upstairs. That is a personal preference to me as my husband and I are very clumsy and old.
Izas (Davie, FL)
We had a great time in this cabin. The location is awesome and we were able to spend the best and whitest Chrismas and ever!
