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.

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.

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.

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!

This was so tranquil and comfortable. The beauty of the location is not evident by the online photos. The outdoor areas and the river are perfect and so much nicer than even the nice online photos. Proximity to the park was perfect. The on-site restaurant is great. We will recommend this to others.

Beautiful location right on the river. 2 Queen beds, no tv which was great for us, means more time outside. The apt was very clean and cool inside. The host was readily available if we needed something. Close to Cades Cove which was great for us. Will definitely stay here again.
