Peaceful 3-Acre Farmhouse/Private River access/Hot Tub/Fire Pits/Romantic

If you need a peaceful vacation, look no further. The Little River Farmhouse is a family friendly, fully renovated rustic modern home on 3 acres of land located near the heart of Townsend. It resides among a small muscadine vineyard and blueberry patch along The Little River. A very large yard is available for running around, playing catch, and other outdoor games. We even provided a disc golf basket for the entire family to enjoy. Secluded yet convenient, the home is surrounded by nature and within a short drive, bike ride or walking distance of Townsends’ conveniences. This home has a large-covered porch with a 7-person luxury hot tub/spa and plenty of seating, 2 large fire pits (next to house and down at the river) and access to a private shore along The Little River. River access makes it perfect for tubing, fishing for brown trout or just lounging in the water. There is a comfortable remote working space within the home and access to high-speed internet.

In the winter months, you might find yourself sitting on the porch enjoying a peaceful view of the Mountains and the Little River. In the Spring, you will be admiring the 100 year old maples and other trees blooming. In the summer, you will spend your evenings staring at the mesmerizing synchronous fireflies. You might not be prepared for the beauty of the fall season as the foliage drifts to the ground. Throughout the year, you will likely find yourself awwing at the bunnies foraging in the morning hours and soaking in the luxurious hot tub and spa in the evening. If you enjoy bird watching, you likely will spend hours just sitting on the front porch or staring out the large living room picture window.

You’ll be minutes away from the entrance to The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, a quick drive to Cades Cove, and access to the scenic foothills parkway with some amazing view points. You are a relaxing 30 min drive to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg where you can enjoy lots of day and nighttime activities to include Dollywood and Anakeesta. Go for a hike, bike ride, car ride or just enjoy the beautiful home on the River. Whatever you chose, you will have a vacation you never forget at The Little River Farmhouse.

For your safety there are 3 security cameras on property: #1 is on the corner of house facing down the driveway. #2 is on the carport looking back towards driveway. #3 is on back of carport looking up towards barn. There are no other camera’s on the property. Please see the Welcome Guide for more information.

Peaceful paradise
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was a perfect place to have a relaxing family vacation. We loved the river and the hot tub, and had a great time roasting marshmallows in the evenings. My husband and daughter had a grand time gathering black walnuts that had fallen from the many trees around the house. The house was clean and very welcoming. The only problem was we had to leave at the end of our vacation!

Lovely weekend! The boys loved the river and the girls loved the hot tub. Evenings were great for grilling and bon fire with s’mores. The accommodations were amazing and very, very clean. Everything we needed was there for us. Hostess was so nice! Even text us when the house was clean and invited us to enter earlier than check in time!

Great Property and Service
We have been vacationing in the Smokies for 38 years and always stayed in cabins just north of Gatlinburg. This was the first time we stayed in Townsend, and was by far the best property and experience we've ever had. We stayed 2 weeks at the Little River Farmhouse and will always return. Our host Jennifer was extremely friendly, caring, and attentive. The property was wonderfully equipped, comfortable, clean, and quiet. Very close to food, services and the national park. Thanks so much.

We loved our stay, it was so relaxing and just what my family needed. The land for the kids to run was something we didn’t realize we needed on a vacation. My kids had a blast! Will most certainly keep this on our favorites to return!

The perfect peaceful getaway
We had the absolute best time staying at the little river farmhouse! The pictures do not do the house justice! This was the cleanest house we have ever stayed at in all the years of coming to the Smokies. This was our first time staying in Townsend and let me just say, this will be where we stay from now on. It is so peaceful and the locals are so friendly. It’s a short, beautiful drive to Gatlinburg and pigeon Forge, and Townsend is within minutes of the National Park. The little river farmhouse was so welcoming and had everything we could think of. My three children, 7,5, & 2 throughly enjoyed playing in the spacious yard. The newly added swing-set was a plus! There was a smorgasbord of games inside to play on those rainy days, when we couldn’t go out. My oldest son and husband enjoyed fishing in the river, and myself and other two children had fun watching them while we explored the well-made pathway from the river to the house. We roasted marshmallows around the fire pit and we all enjoyed the spacious hot tub..all in all I give the little river farmhouse 5 stars. There isn’t one thing I could complain out. We are looking forward to our next stay!

The Little River, Farmhouse had everything you could imagine and need. Very spacious, well, equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and a deck to die for. I recommend taking the trail down to the little river and just sitting and enjoying the quiet. We will definitely put this on our favorites list.

Amazing Weekend
Excellence in every category, it is somewhat secluded. There’s a path that leads down to a private area right on the river, it included a swing, seats, & a firepit. It was pure splendor & one of our favorite parts of our stay there. The home itself, had everything you could ask for to ensure a pleasant, exceptionally accommodating time. Would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys tranquility, away from the hustle & bustle of everyday life. Also, there’s a nice restaurant a couple miles from there Trailhead Steak & Trout, we highly recommend, the atmosphere was very pleasant, & the food is outstanding, very reasonably priced.

This place was set up perfectly , from the coffee to the river . It was way more than we expected. The back porch and hot tub was awesome , especially when raining. A short stroll down to the river with seating and relaxing in the water. Our personal best stay in Tenn. in 30 years.
