Decorated for Christmas

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.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cabin, which features a fireplace. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Be sure to enjoy recreational amenities including a water park and a spa tub.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

River Cabin
The little cabin was cute, easy entry. Steps in front were few and easy for our ancient bodies. However, the back porch was a total shock. Just WOW!! That was our place to be, better than TV looking out over the river from tree top level. Hated to pack up and leave.

Perfect for 2
The cabin was perfect for 2. Right on the little river we enjoyed tubing, fire pit, hot tub, arcade game, and the local restaurant for breakfast. The bed is a memory foam. There’s also 2sofa sleepers. No washer, dryer or dishwasher and the shower is small. But all in all I’d stay again

Our little Love-Nest
Just fell in love with this gorgeous little cabin, 3 days turned into 5 as we did not want to leave! In fact it broke my heart to pack up and leave, right by the little river and surrounded by beautiful singing birds and rabbits etc it did our souls and our hearts the world of good. I would 100% recommend this cabin and we will be back just as soon as we can 😌 also Kristina was easy to reach via email and answered my questions almost immediately

This was our second stay here and it was just as enjoyable as the first. Just enough privacy to feel secluded, but still close to shopping, restaurants, etc. The sun room is absolutely wonderful with a fantastic view of the river. We will be back!!

Much needed getaway!
I enjoyed a short stay at The Little River Cabin while joining with family at a nearby campground to celebrate the Labor Day weekend. It was very comfortable and was the perfect, peaceful destination to escape to at day's end. Spent long mornings on the beautiful sun porch before heading out for the day - my favorite feature of the property! Wish I could have stayed longer and hope to come back soon!

Absolutely beautiful little cottage
Beautiful, clean, cozy quiet little place to stay. Other reviews wrote that it’s at a Campground. Yes you do see the campers across the water. we enjoyed watching the rafters, floating down the water. The trees provided enough privacy from the campground. They were no concern. The view from the sun porch is just lovely. There is easy access to the water. perfect little cabin, clean and stocked with everything you could need. We enjoyed watching all the bunny, rabbits, running and playing They seem to be everywhere. Just so cute.

Summer in the Smokies!
My husband and I booked a last minute mini vacation for our littlest kids and ourselves. It was super last minute, the host worked with us and was so kind. This cabin was absolutely perfect! Such a little gem out in the woods! From the moment we pulled up it felt like somewhere in a story book. We felt right at home. We loved it so much we decided to stay in for our first night and soak up the hot tub and the resort playground! The small children were amazed by the inter tubes as they went floating down the river. Dinner and breakfast from the sun room was just precious with the view of the river and the windows letting in perfect sunlight. My husband and I frequent the mountains often and have never enjoyed a stay so much! Perfect location outside of the hustle and bustle. Can’t wait to watch our kiddos grow up by this spectacular river and spending time on vacation in this quaint little cabin. Thank you so much for hosting us!
