Anniversary Getaway

My wife and I chose Riverview Cabin for our 10th anniversary getaway to the Smokies for its combination of location in town and view. We were not disappointed! The property was easy to locate, with great directions from the manager and signage on the driveway. We also appreciated the quietness of the setting and the hot tub on the large covered deck.

Beautiful, cozy getaway

Great for a romantic getaway for two. The balcony overlooking the river was perfect. We will miss sipping our morning coffee and watching the birds as the clouds roll over the mountains. This is a cozy space, with enough room to exist comfortably. The fireplace and hot tub were a blessing after spending hours on the trails in misty rain. The proximity to all of the activities nearby can't be beat. Check-in and out were so easy and we're set up for privacy.

Perfect Time

This property has a great location near the Smoky Mountain entrance and Townsend stores (like grocery and pizza). I loved being able to go down to the river and the deck is amazing with its view and the hottub. It's like being in a treehouse. Highly recommend.

The cabin was perfect for us.

I enjoyed sitting on the balcony listening to the birds. It felt like we were in a tree house. We are an older couple, so we were not interested in climbing down to the river, so it was perfect for us.

We had a great long weekend. The only negative was that we could not get down to the river from the house nor was the view good of the river. Other than that, it was great for the two of us.

We loved staying here! Check in process was easy, but the directions getting there could be a little better. Also, the steps to the river need work but overall we really enjoyed our stay. Comfy bed, kitchen had everything we needed. Pretty secluded and beautiful views! Will definitely stay there again.
