Great location, easy access to the river. The house stayed comfortably cool with temps in the 90’s. The pics of the house don’t do it justice.

I would recommend this cabin to anyone. It was very clean and perfect location. We enjoyed the porch every night - watching the river and geese.
I would give this cabin 10+ out of 10.

We spent 4 nights at the Rippling Waters cabin on the Little River in Townsend. Excellent location on River, very close to Wears Valley Road, the Townsend bike path, IGA grocery store and the hardware store. Plenty of room for our big family ! Will look to stay again.

Small, but exactly as advertised. River was great. We brought our own tubes and floated to the swinging bridge over the Little River. There’s a brewery called the Abby right next to the swinging bridge so the adults enjoyed some liquid refreshment while waiting for the kids to reach us tubing. Very enjoyable and don’t miss touring the Tuckaleechie caverns, again great time and tour.

Loved the location so close to the National Park/Cades Cove which we visited daily. The accommodations were comfortable and afforded us with everything we needed. An added bonus was enjoying a fire in the cabin in the evenings. Owners were responsive to any questions we had.

This cabin was beautifully situated right on Little River. Being able to sit out on the back porch and watch the river and the Inner tubes floating was very enjoyable. The cabin was clean and well stocked. Just a lovely stay and already looking at next year!

Our stay was better than expected. The cabin was adorable; the location couldn't have been better. We made smores at the fire ring next to the river upon arrival. My grandchildren didn't want to come inside. We are from Miami where the heat puts a damper on most of the fun. Even the misty rain couldn't prevent us from enjoying our time there. The cabin had all the conveniences and necessities. All you need is your toothbrush and clothing. There is a decent sized supermarket within a mile of the cabin that have the best steaks for the bbq!!! The scenery is breathtaking. If you do nothing but enjoy the cabin and its surroundings, you will be in for a great vacation!!!

This rustic cabin isn't the Ritz and I hope it never is. It is the absolute perfect place to enjoy the Little Pigeon River and tube the day away. We could tube down to the house, get out and have lunch the jump back in the floats. In the evening we walked up to deeper pool and swam till dinner. The rustic feel and and sound of the water just melts the stress of the city away. It has an IGA one stop sign away, resteraunts not too far, and a Weber charcoal grill on the deck. It was just a short drive to Dollywood but for sure out of the hustle. My wife liked that their were no small narrow roads to get to it. It's close to a main road and easy to find. It's not a hotel! It's a cabin, enjoy the fire pit, the river and the tubing. Just don't expect room service and a turn down. I loved it!

We've stayed here 3 times and love it. The location is amazing,. We spend most of our time outdoors, either on the porch, in the yard next to the Little River, or playing in the river. The cabin is more on the rustic/simple side, but that's also part of the appeal.

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. The sound of the river was very relaxing. Loved watching the geese and there were two nests of baby birds on the porches. We liked that it was accessible to everything just a short drive to Gatlinburg and other places but didn’t have to stay in the busy cities. The one thing I would say is to check the dishes and cups before you use them and hopefully the toilets will be fixed we had to make sure they didn’t keep running or it would flood the front yard. We have already recommended this place to other family and friends.

Really enjoyed our stay, it was very clean, organized. we liked the layout of the cabin and the porch out by the river was our favorite spot. So relaxing and laid back. The only problem we had while we were there, we had a problem with both toilets...they would flush, but would not fill back up, we had this happen several times in our 4 days there. Other than that everyuthing was wonderful. Thank you so much!!!
