Me and my husband stayed here and loved it, the rooms were beautifully decorated very rustic. You are right on the water, it was very quiet despite being right off the rd, we wound up extending our stay by a couple of days ans Mrs Wendy was very accommodating and very sweet, we will definitely book with her again and would recommend anyone to book with her

Relaxing Riverside Retreat

We are enjoyed our stay away from the hustle and bustle of the busy side of the mountains. After hiking every day, we enjoyed relaxing on the porch and listening to the sounds of the river.

A little slice of heaven...

We enjoying this little nugget of a place. Located directly on the Little River, we sat on the porch with a blanket most of our first morning listening to the river and the rain. If relaxation is what you are looking for, this is the place for you...the perfect opposite to the hustle and bustle of Gatlinburg. Don't forget to visit the Little River Pub & Deli next door for some seriously good sandwiches and a great assortment of local beers.

Beautiful area!

We had a wonderful experience for our 2-day mountain trip! Such a beautiful place alongside the river. The shower was a little hard to get into but we aren't too old so it was fine. But for the room we stayed in (might be different in other rooms), you had to step up on a large step and then step into the shower/tub. It was a little awkward but fine. There were no TVs but it might have said that on the listing. But WiFi was good so we streamed on our phones. Clean and cozy place for 2 for sure! Would rent again!

This was one of the best trips we have had. The apartment was wonderful and we met several couples that we spent time getting to know. Loved the rustic setting, no TV! What a great "reset" before getting back to the real world!

Lovely peaceful place

We would recommend it and would definitely return. Realize that these are not individual cabins but there are rooms upstairs and downstairs. However, the set-up was very nice and there is a deck area outside the room that was very relaxing and peaceful with the river running just outside. The room was comfortable and nicely furnished.

Fall 25

We really enjoyed the property. A ground level was not available when I booked. The only concern that I have is that the stair treads were loose on the 1st level. The other stairs were quite steep. You may need to redo the grade of the stairs when able as it was difficult for my elderly parents to climb.

We'll be back!

The most quiet, peaceful place we have ever stayed in the mountains. Everything was decorated beautifully. We didn't cook in the cabin, however, there was of plenty of cook ware and dishes if we had wanted to. We brought our own coffee pods and used the Kuerig and cups... a lot. With the river just steps from door, the back deck was where we spent most of our time. Ever so relaxing. The Riverstone Restaurant, just 5 minutes down the road, provided us with a wonderful country breakfast with great service at a very reasonable price.We had read some reviews that complained about there not being a television. If they had only read the property description they would have know that before booking. No tv was no problem for us. Who goes on vacation to watch tv?We can't wait to go back!
