About this property
Little River Cabin - Riverfront, 1 mile from GSMNP - Romantic Getaway!
Smoky Mountain Views is proud to present "The Little River Cabin!" This special place is ideal for a romantic getaway or for anyone wanting to enjoy the Great Smoky National Park, hiking, swimming, fishing, tubing, or biking.
Nestled amongst a small group of sweet little cabins, there is a quaint, peaceful feeling when you arrive here. Enjoy the views and sound of the river from the cabin itself or take a short walk to our little community's river entrance to go fishing or to swim. Enjoy the hot tub, firepit, arcade, gas fireplace, Cable TV, Wi-Fi, comfy king bed, and the park-style charcoal grill.
This cabin's location is a gem! It is only ½ a mile to the National Park Entrance, 9 miles to Cades Cove, 18 miles to Pigeon Forge, 20 miles to Dollywood, 22 miles to Gatlinburg or Sevierville, & 27 miles to Knoxville's Airport.
*Please note: This is an old-fashioned, one room-style cabin without a actual separate bedroom. There is a KOA campground on the other side of the river. There is no dishwasher, washer or dryer in this little cabin, but there is a laundry mat a couple of miles down the road. Also, our shower is on the small side for tall people (like my hubby) although being an avid hiker- he claims this is a good tradeoff for the location! Lastly, please remember firewood and charcoal are not provided but can be found for sale just down the road.
Guest booking must be 25 years or older. NO PETS. No parties or events. No Smoking or Drug use on property. No fireworks. Parking area and entrance are under video surveillance. Signed rental agreement REQUIRED to gain access to property. Check-In time is between 4pm and 10pm FIRM.

About the host
Hosted by Kristina

Hi! I am from Minnesota. I love to design & decorate. I also love being mom to our 3 amazing kids.
My husband, Chris, is a retired Air Force Chaplain from Mississippi. He loves real estate & keeping us guessing-- "What could our next family adventure possibly be?!"
Although we have been stationed in every region of the country, "the smokies" have always remained a special place in our lives. When the opportunity arose to turn a long term rental into our very first vacation rental (Shell Mountain Cabin), we were thrilled and slightly terrified. Through the years, our business has grown. We have experienced tremendous challenges & tremendous blessings. God is faithful & we love what we do!
Whether you are planning a time of quiet rest--or a fun-packed vacation-- along with our A+ team of locals-- we want to help provide an unforgettable getaway for you. We hope you fall in love with the Smoky Mountains as much as we have.
