About this cabin rental
If your ideal vacation includes fishing for trout just steps away from where you’re staying, you’ll want to book your stay at Amazing River Retreat right now! Even if fishing isn’t key to your getaway, however, you’ll find plenty to love about this three-bedroom, dog-friendly (dogs only - up to 25 lbs.) lodge.
Located in a forested mountain valley, Amazing River Retreat is right on the bank of the trout-stocked Little Pigeon River. From the lodge’s two spacious wraparound decks you’ll hear the soothing burble of the waters rushing over the rocks. Along with the rustling of the breeze through the trees, the singing of warblers and thrushes during the day, and the chirping of crickets at night, it serves as ideal background music. Whether you’re enjoying breakfast at the main deck’s patio table, cooking dinner on the charcoal grill, or perhaps best of all, lazing in the lower deck’s hot tub, you can savor the soothing soundtrack.
You can revel in the views from inside the lodge as well, courtesy of the great room’s double-height wall of windows. The sunlight streaming in shows off the hand-rubbed light pine floors, walls and vaulted ceiling to perfection.
There’s space for everyone to gather on the great room’s well-cushioned leather seating, whether it’s to watch the big game on TV or play charades in the glow of the stone-surround fireplace. The great room also hosts the dining area, which includes a gorgeous wood-and-wrought-iron table that seats six. Another four people can sit at the adjacent breakfast bar. If you’re vacationing with another family, set up the kids at the breakfast bar. They’ll love eating “on their own” while the adults linger over their meal at the table.
Speaking of meals, the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare a cordon bleu feast or simply to reheat leftovers from the previous night’s restaurant meal. From a refrigerator with ice maker to a dishwasher, we’ve got you covered!
Downstairs you’ll find the game room, the perfect hangout for kids and adults alike. You can choose between shooting pool at the full-size billiard table or play foosball. Or you can stretch out on one of the so comfortable couches and watch a movie on TV—Amazing River Retreat receives plenty of satellite channels, including Showtime. The washer and dryer are conveniently located just off the game room, so you can do laundry while you lounge.
Just as the game room takes up nearly all of the downstairs, the primary suite makes up the entire loft level. The bedroom is huge, with a king-size bed, a desk, a sitting area, a flat-screen TV and a wealth of storage. Add to that the vaulted ceiling, the en-suite bathroom, and the magnificent view, and you have a haven you might never want to leave.
The other two bedrooms on the main floor are just as comfortable. Each has a queen-size bed, a TV, a ceiling fan and plenty of storage. If you need additional sleeping quarters, the sofa in the game room opens into beds for two, enabling Amazing River Retreat to accommodate eight people in all.
When you’re not fishing for trout in the river that’s right outside your door, there’s plenty more to do in the area. Amazing River Retreat is no more than a half-hour drive from the attractions of both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. You can explore the wildlife, wildflowers and waterfalls of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park one day, the rides and attractions of Dollywood the next, and the galleries, shops and studios of the Gatlinburg Arts and Crafts Loop the day after that.
No matter how you spend your days, you’ll love returning to the tranquility of Amazing River Retreat. It’s really a fabulous place for relaxing body and soul. So, what are you waiting for? Book your stay today—we look forward to seeing you!

The cabin was as described! We had a great short stay! Only negative thing I can say - along with what other people have said is the hot tub doesn't go over 86 degrees which was disappointing

This property was what we were looking for a family weekend. We also had Bella our 10 lb dog with us. It had plenty of room and while it rained most of the time. We were able to get out to Pigeon Forge and have fun at The Island.

Beautiful!
Exceeded our expectations! The house was clean and had all that was needed for a lovely week stay in the mountains. The yard space and river was enjoyed by my 5 children. It was a quick 20-30 minute drive from all the main attractions. It was very nice to return to a quite place each afternoon.

We are from NC. We met family from Kentucky for a quick visit. Great halfway point. It was perfect. Plenty of room. And all the necessities. We will definitely do this again. Thanks for a great stay!

Awesome cabin. Beautiful, great creek access, very roomy with lots of entertainment. Would have given 5 stars but the house had no salt, pepper, only 1 extra trash bag, and the toilet paper was really bad. All easy things to fix as long as you know you need to grab them at the store (which is very close). Will be back in the summer so the dogs can play in the creek!

Peaceful
Property was quiet, on river. Did not see any wildlife. Kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, glass ware. Needs a few more forks. Manual can opener was broken, but then found electric can opener under the cabinet. WiFi worked perfectly. My son was able to do online homework. Spotty phone service. Cabin was exactly as stated. Never ran out of hot water. Water pressure great. Washer and dryer worked well. Loved having garage access. Pool table and fooseball tables were great!
4.4
The cabin was in a great location.
Would definitely recommend this rental for a family!

Mostly great ...
The location is ideal. The river in front of the house is amazing and so peaceful. It is really close to Gatlinburg and easy to get groceries or eat out.
The communication of how to get into the house was tough to get and then wasn’t accurate. The listing says it has WiFi but it does not. You should really remove that as my husband was expecting that to be able to work.
It truly is very bare bones ... no spices or oils in the kitchen, towels are basic and there are no games so bring your own.
It is a really peaceful place to stay.
4.4
Loved the location on the river. Absolutely Gorgeous.
This cabin has everything you need for a great family get away. The river is amazing. However it was moving very fast from all of the Rain this winter. We would have appreciated the instructions telling us where the lock box was located. It would have also been helpful for a couple of lights left on. It was late when we arrived. Cold and dark. Took us a few minutes to figure out how to get in.

Cozy cottage
Cottage was cozy with wood burning fireplace on main floor and stove on bottom level. Wood is not provided so be sure to grab your own. Living space was comfortable and spare rooms very cozy. Master room in loft is not private but nice and master bath was too small. Overall a good place to stay and enjoy the fireside.
