The Little River Farmhouse – Your Smoky Mountain Riverside Retreat
THE LITTLE RIVER FARMHOUSE – YOUR SMOKY MOUNTAIN RIVERSIDE RETREAT
If you need a peaceful vacation, look no further. The Little River Farmhouse is a fully renovated, rustic-modern home set on 3 private acres beside the beautiful Little River in the heart of Townsend, Tennessee. With a backdrop of vineyards, blueberry patches, and towering 100-year-old trees, it’s the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience — a place where families, couples, and friends can truly relax while staying close to all the Smoky Mountain adventures.

THE HOME
Step inside and you’ll find a space designed for both comfort and charm. The farmhouse offers:
• Spacious living areas with large windows framing the river and mountains
• Two bedrooms including a king suite and a twin-over-queen bunk room
• Amenities: high-speed Wi-Fi, Smart TVs, washer/dryer, and remote workspace
⸻
OUTDOOR FUN AND RELAXATION
The magic of the farmhouse is just as much outside as in:
• Covered porch with a 7-person luxury hot tub
• Two large fire pits (one near the home and one riverside)
• Large yard for kids to run, play catch, and enjoy outdoor games
• Disc golf basket for family fun
• Private river access for tubing, wading, trout fishing, or simply lounging by the water
⸻
THE BEAUTY OF EVERY SEASON
Each season brings its own special magic at the farmhouse:
• Winter: Clear mountain views and peaceful riverside strolls
• Spring: Blossoms from 100-year-old maples and vibrant greenery
• Summer: Magical firefly displays that light up the evenings
• Fall: Brilliant foliage drifting across the property with crisp mountain air
Year-round, you’ll spot morning bunnies foraging, hear the soothing flow of the river, and enjoy birdwatching from the porch or living room.
⸻
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
The farmhouse is perfectly situated for both relaxation and adventure:
• Minutes to the entrance of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park
• A short drive to Cades Cove and the Foothills Parkway
• Only 30 minutes from Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg
Whether you spend your days hiking, biking, tubing, horseback riding, or exploring mountain roads, you’ll always love coming back to the peace of the river.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Jennifer
We’re a family who loves the Smoky Mountains and created The Little River Farmhouse as a place to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy nature together. When we’re not hosting, we’re hiking the trails, tubing the river, or cooking out by the fire pit with our kids. We enjoy sharing this peaceful retreat with other families, couples, and friends who want to experience the same sense of rest and adventure.
Why they chose this property
We chose Townsend because it offers the perfect mix of peace and access. Unlike the busier parts of the Smokies, Townsend is quiet, friendly, and surrounded by natural beauty. The Little River flows through town, providing endless opportunities for tubing and fishing. And in just minutes, you can be inside the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, at Cades Cove, or enjoying the scenic Foothills Parkway. It’s the ideal place to unplug without being far from great food, coffee shops, and local charm.
What makes this property unique
The Little River Farmhouse is more than a place to stay—it’s a destination. Set on three private acres, guests enjoy their own riverside access with fire pit, a 7-person hot tub on the porch, a swing set and disc golf basket for families, and wide open yard space to explore. Inside, the rustic-modern design blends comfort with convenience, including high-speed internet and a dedicated workspace. Add in the seasonal magic—spring blossoms, summer fireflies, fall foliage, and winter mountain views—and it’s a home that offers something special in every season.
