About this property
2BR "Riverside" Cabin Overlooking the "Little River" in Townsend,TN Family Owned
Our RIVERSIDE Log Cabin offers the ideal setting for a Smoky Mountain family vacation, a romantic honeymoon, or a peaceful mountain retreat. You'll enjoy privacy, comfort, and the charm of a beautifully crafted log home—all just steps from the soothing waters of the Little River in Townsend, Tennessee.
Perched right on the riverbank in the heart of Townsend—known as “The Peaceful Side of the Smokies”—our cabin invites you to slow down and soak in the natural beauty that surrounds you. Just two miles from your front door is the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the beloved Cades Cove loop, making it easy to explore while still enjoying a quiet, laid-back atmosphere.
This cabin is proudly family-owned and operated as part of Cabins on Little River, LLC. As lifelong residents of Townsend, we take great pride in providing friendly, personal service to make sure every detail of your stay is just right.
We look forward to welcoming you and helping make our RIVERSIDE cabin your home away from home—not just for this vacation, but for years to come.
Richard & Yvonne Carnes and Family
