A Couple of House Rules:

- HOT TUB -
Please rinse off before using the hot tub. Body oils and lotions will quickly impact the pH levels and balance of the tub pretty quickly making it dirty and unusable. It will be ready and available for your use. We check the hot tub after each stay to ensure the water is still clean and balanced.

- SMOKING POLICY -
Please, absolutely no smoking! Unfortunately, a $1000 fine will be applied if we find smoking has occurred on the property. This is not only due ot the damage caused by the smell, but also the increased risk for wildfires in the area.

- PET POLICY -
We bring our two small dogs to the property for our vacations, and you should also be able to. We allow two small dogs during your stay, and there is a nominal pet fee to accommodate our cleaners for their extra work. But please remember that there will be guests enjoying the property after you. With that in mind, please ensure that your pet is FULLY potty trained and that you clean up after your furry friend (inside and outside).

- PARTIES -
We are a family-friendly property and do not allow parties. If a party is discovered, there will be a fine of $2500 + any damages that occur.

- RANGER RICK'S WILDLIFE RULES -
Many animals are around this area (especially Bears!), so please be careful with what you leave outside. We want to refrain from feeding the animals or training them to think they can get a free meal by visiting our property. This can be very dangerous and could harm the animals or another person!

- SMOKEY THE BEAR'S WILDFIRE SAFETY -
The mountain can be very dry during certain times of year. To prevent forest fires started by people, we ask that you avoid flames when outdoors whenever possible. Keep the mountain safe for us all!

- RIVER SAFETY -
Please be mindful when enjoying the river. Water levels and currents can vary, and rocks may be slippery. For your safety, we recommend sturdy water shoes and extra caution, especially for children. Enjoy the natural beauty responsibly!

- AMENITY FUNCTIONALITY -
We obviously do everything we can to ensure that every amenity listed is sufficiently cleaned and in proper working order upon your arrival. However, unfortunate circumstances can occur from time to time. If major amenities need to be fixed, we will gladly offer a discount of up to 25% of the nightly stay for each night the amenity isn't working.

- QUIET TIMES -
Although this is a reasonably secluded location, there are some neighbors around. As such, we ask that you respect their privacy and their right to a peaceful existence! Specifically, between 10 pm and 8 am, noise should be kept to a minimum. Thank you!

- BREAKAGES -
We understand these things happen! Should you break anything, please let us know immediately so we can replace or repair the item quickly. We want to make sure each item is available for every guest!

- SANITATION POLICY -
For health, sanitation, and property protection reasons, all bodily waste and sanitary activities must take place only in the toilet. Any urination, defecation, vomiting, or other unsanitary actions anywhere else on the property—including indoors or outdoors—are strictly prohibited. Any violation of this rule will result in a $1,000 fine and may lead to immediate removal from the property without refund.

The entry into the creek was a bit more difficult than what it appears from the pics but overall a good property. Had some issues with a couple of the TVs but the host was quick to respond. Also, not a lengthy check out process which I appreciated. Overall, I would stay here again.

The cabin felt like home and accommodated 4 generations of family perfectly! Everybody had their own space, but we spent our together time mostly on the porch with abundant seating and beautiful view of creek. The kids loved the downstairs game room. We liked being able to cook in the kitchen while still being able to hang out with everybody in living/ dining area. We rented the house for my grandmas 97th bday and she really enjoyed the night we made a fire in the fire pit and all the fam sat around it on all the swings just talking. The host picked up the phone immediately any time we called with questions and was sure to do anything to make sure we were well taken care of :)

Thank you for such a thoughtful review. It was a true honor to host four generations of your family for your grandmother's 97th birthday, and we are so glad Riverside Bliss offered the space and comfort the occasion deserved. We are delighted that the porch and creek view became your gathering place, that the children enjoyed the downstairs game room, and that the evening around the fire pit became such a special memory. Moments like these are exactly what this home was made for. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of the home, and for allowing us to be part of a meaningful family celebration. We would be honored to welcome your family back anytime. 😊

Amazing cabin on the river

We absolutely loved our stay at this cabin! It was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a perfect getaway. The location was ideal—just minutes from Dollywood, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg, yet peaceful and right on the river. We spent our days kayaking, floating in the inflatable tubes, and my son had a great time fishing from the riverbank. Evenings were just as special—we loved roasting s’mores by the fire and relaxing on the swing benches while listening to the river. The hot tub was the perfect way to unwind, and we were so happy to bring our dogs along too. We’d come back in a heartbeat!

5 Stars – A Perfect Family Getaway!

Our family had an incredible stay at Riverside Bliss! We traveled from Maryland, West Virginia, and Ohio to visit my nephew before the opening of his new BBQ restaurant (Shagbark Barbecue in Strawberry Plains), and this home was the perfect gathering place.The house was spotless and had everything we needed. We spent hours in the game room playing air hockey, pool, and Pac-Man — the kids and adults loved it! One of the highlights for the guys was walking right out back to fish on the river. It was peaceful and easy to access, and buying a fishing license online was a breeze.We grilled hot dogs and burgers one night and roasted s’mores around the fire pit another. The swings next to the fire pit were a cozy touch, and the hot tub was clean, spacious, and perfect for unwinding.The location was great — close enough for us to enjoy local attractions like the Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Show in Pigeon Forge and the Gatlinburg Tower, yet just a 30-minute drive to Strawberry Plains for us to see the restaurant before it opens. (My personal favs were the pulled pork, burnt ends and baked beans…. the banana pudding is out of this world; also the sweet smoky sauce went great with the pork)Anastasia and Brandon were incredibly responsive and made sure we had a great stay. We absolutely loved the home, the amenities, and the memories we made here. We’re already talking about coming back!

About the host

Hosted by Brandon Wood

Host profile image
Hey there, friends! My wife and I are 30-something midwestern natives now living in beautiful Colorado. We keep juggling our passion for the great outdoors through epic hikes, fly-fishing, and skiing. We share these adventures with our daughter, Daphne (March 2024!), and two dogs, Bellamy and Wesley. We love sharing experiences with others and truly hope you enjoy our little family vacation home as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is coveted for its remarkable mountain landscape and endless attractions, such as Dollywood, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg. Close proximity to all these coveted activities, paired with a secluded, tranquil riverfront cabin, makes the perfect vacation getaway!

What makes this property unique

We are riverfron on the Little Pigeon River! This allows you to enjoy the water with our water toys in the calm, smooth flow of mountain water, or relax at the firepit and enjoy the sounds of the river trickling next to you. Inside, we offer a unique game room with a pool table, Air Hockey, A multicade (Pac-Man, Galage, Asteroids, etc.), Golder Tee, and Phooseball. Outside, you will find not only the river but a firepit to gather around a hot tub to relax in, and a patio and porch to overlook the large yard and river!
