Thank you for the great review! We’re glad you enjoyed the cabin and found it nicely furnished. We appreciate you staying with us and hope to have you back again!
My family and I really enjoyed our stay at the Riverview Cabin, it was clean, cozy and the view was BEAUTIFUL! Laying in the hot tub staring at the mountain view was majestic to say the least. The only thing that it didn't offer was the waterfront access from the cabin itself, but no need to worry there was still access only a few feet away. The view of the river from the balcony was so tranquil. I would definitely stay here again!
We really enjoyed our stay. Only wish the water access was a bit more convenient but otherwise great stay.

Thank you for choosing to stay with us. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for another mountain getaway soon!
Very cute one room cabin. Although it is listed as ‘Riverview’, there’s too much foliage in the way to see very much of it. Also, the property has pictures of stairs going down to the river and the property by the river should be removed from the advertisement. The stairs going down to the water have been removed. It is not easily accessible without them.

Thank you for the feedback. The stairs leading down to the river are currently being repaired due to some safety issues. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We hope you still enjoyed your stay and appreciate you choosing our property.
We stayed 4 nights and it was a great stay. The cabin was very private and very comfortable. They had everything we needed and the communication was perfect. The little town of Townsend is definitely lived up to its name for us. "Peaceful side of the Smokies." We will be back. Thank y'all for a great experience.

We truly appreciate you choosing to stay with us and look forward to hosting you again on your next visit. Thanks again!
Great location - super close to the Smokies. We could walk to the IGA, restaurants and coffee. Very clean and a well equipped kitchen. Deck was nice for eating outside. Enjoyed the hot tub every day. Good communication with Bare Tootin’ and the directions they sent were easy to follow with good signage. We’ve stayed in a few different places in Townsend and picked this for the short drive to the park. It’s close to other properties but the trees block the site of everything nearby.
