"River Dreaming" is a rustic but comfy family cabin located within walking distance to Little River in Townsend, TN. Known as "The Peaceful Side of the Smokies," Townsend sits next to the national park and is only minutes away from Cades Cove, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.

On the first floor, you will find a small but well equipped kitchen with eat-in dining. The coffee maker is a Keurig so bring your pods for a fresh cup of Java. The living room is comfy with a couple of loveseats, a rocker and a wood burning fireplace. The full bathroom is on the main floor as well.

Upstairs you will find two spacious bedrooms. Each bedroom has a queen size bed and other furnishings. Each bedroom has a TV for late night watching or movies for the kids. Please note that the bathroom is on the main floor.

This cabin is located on an easily accessible, quiet circle and sits about 100 yards from the river frontage. The cabin is about 100 yards from the river sitting on property with joint property river access. Right from the adjacent property, you can fish, swim or go tubing. The outdoor screened in porch is very large and has multiple chairs and a table for outdoor dining. There is also a really nice firepit for those cool evenings making smore's and memories with your loved ones.
And don't worry about cleanliness, we pride ourselves on keeping clean, sanitized cabins so that you can feel at home while on vacation.

FOR OUR PET FRIENDLY VISITORS:

PETS MUST BE APPROVED BY MANAGEMENT PRIOR TO RESERVATION. We reserve the right to refuse any pet at any time. We would like for you and your family (including the four legged members) to have the best vacation ever and appreciate your willingness to abide by these guidelines.

*We only accept dogs, no cats allowed. We only accept 2 pets per reservation.
*We charge a $70.00 per pet fee which is not refundable.
*Your dog must be on a flea maintenance program. (Like Frontline, Advantage, etc.)
*Your dog must be crated while left in the cabin alone.
*Your dog must not get on our furniture. If we find pet hair on our furniture upon your departure, you will be charged $10.00 per each quilt/comforter/sofa that must be cleaned to remove dog hair.
*If your dog damages our vacation home in any way, ie, urine on the carpet/floor, chewed furniture/walls/doors or molding, you will be held responsible for the damage repair costs.

FEES: The management company of this cabin charges a $20 per stay Damage Waiver Fee to every customer. It is automatically included in your rate. This covers our guests for up to $350 worth of accidental damage should damage occur during their stay. If damage occurs to the cabin, furnishings, etc, please report it to management as soon as possible so that the damage can be repaired. You may opt out of paying the $20 damage waiver fee by putting down a $350 REFUNDABLE damage deposit. DAMAGE CAUSED BY A PET IS NOT COVERED BY THE DAMAGE WAIVER.

Common Concerns:
*Road Conditions: Some of our cabins are on steep, narrow, curvy, mountain roads. If you are concerned about road conditions to get to a cabin, please feel free to ask us! None of our cabins require a 4-wheel drive under normal weather conditions but some do in inclement weather.
*TV & WiFi: We do have TV's and WiFi in almost all of our cabins. There are times when heavy cloud cover, weather systems, mountains, or trees will cause problems with the signals. We always want our guests to have the comforts they want on vacation, but there are times we cannot control this problem.
*Pests & Wildlife: Here in the Smoky Mountains, we have lots of native bugs and wildlife. All of our cabins are treated for pests, but there are times you will find bugs or even have trouble with bugs. Fall/Winter is ladybug season in the Smokies and these little buggers are attracted to heat, meaning your cabin and every other one out there that is warm! They will swarm to the cabin and you'll probably see them alive/dead on windowsills, in vents, etc. Rest assured that your cabin has regular pest control and is professionally cleaned, including bug removal, before and after your stay. However, these bugs come back right away and unfortunately there is nothing that can be done about them until the season passes. Please never feed, taunt or approach any wildlife. This is their home and we are the visitors.
*There are no refunds for storms or power outages. If there is a power outage, there will be no water and potentially no heat. Storms can also make roads impassable, so if a storm is in the forecast during your reservation, come prepared with water and non-perishable food, etc.
During your stay at this cabin, you're just a quick walk from Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the cabin.
  • Air-conditioned cabin with kitchen, fireplace, and patio
  • Free WiFi
  • 9 minutes by foot from Great Smoky Mountains National Park and a 2-minute drive from Great Smoky Mountains Heritage Center
This cabin offers its guests barbecue grills. The front desk is open around the clock.

Fall Stay at River Dreaming
We loved the area as it was quiet and scenic. There was a horse pasture behind the house which was great. The porch and bed swings were relaxing and comfortable. We tried grilling one night but rodents had apparently been nesting in the grill so there were some unexpected flames. Overall we loved it and would stay again.

Beautiful weekend getaway!
We stayed at River Dreaming for a weekend and it was magical! Photos in the listing don’t do justice to the beautiful setting. The cabin had everything that we needed, and management was very quick to respond to any questions or concerns. We loved the screened in porch beds and our walks down to the river front! It is just beyond a gorgeous campground, far enough away from any noise, but close to anything we might have needed, and so close to the park entrance! We hope to return soon!

Christmas in Townsend
We did not spend much time during the day Its quiet. We were there during Christmas and it was COLD! But we had a fire each evening that helped warm the cabin, they had plenty of firewood 😄 We had one issue that required us calling to have it addressed (on Christmas Eve), it was all fixed when we returned to cabin. Its a quaint, lovely cabin in a great spot!

Great spot to enjoy the Smoky Mountains
Had a great stay right outside the entrance to the park. Kids really enjoyed playing in the creek too! There is an electric fence on the adjacent property immediately behind the cabin. It is for the horses, so just keep an eye on any little ones playing back there.

River Dreaming was a lovely, rustic cabin. The cabin had all the comforts of home. Loved the leather recliners for football games. Two minute walk to the river for great fishing both days. The view from the back porch is beautiful. The cabin is minutes off the main road. We loved the large screen porch on the front of our house to put our bikes In-N-Out if the weather! We appreciated how clean the cabin was for our stay. Great communication with Cathy.
