Reviews

• Barbara Pawlowski - 4/3/2024
  Really enjoyed our stay at River Bend:) Loved sitting out on the deck listening to the sounds of the river. Cabin was private and cozy.
• Lindsie Wilson - 3/2/2024
  This cabin is the perfect size for a couple. It has everything needed to be comfortable. The bed is comfy, the heater works great and the fireplace is nice. The only thing is the shower is very small.
• Tim Pace - 2/19/2024
  We loved the location and the view from the cabin.
• Cadence Mirra - 12/26/2023
  The cabin was cozy and very homey feeling. Everything was clean when we arrived, and we really enjoyed this as our honeymoon/christmas trip. Definitely recommend staying in the Riverbend Cabin.
• Robert Herndon - 12/14/2023
  No disappointments from the expectations from the brochure. In addition to the hot tub, it had a fire table out on the deck as well as a gas grill. Great view of the river. We had a great time.
• Ernest Washington - 11/7/2023
  Such a cozy place we absolutely love every minute we were there. Hot Tub was awesome. Fireplace with gas logs was perfect setting! We will be back!

  The shower was a bit cramped, but we made it work for us. We loved everything else about the place. The hot tub was fabulous, and the cabin was clean. The location was perfect! We would stay there again.
• Charles Mitchum - 9/5/2023
  Everything was great with the cabin. The only thing was it was a little deceptive about the steps leading down to the river. It was about 100-150 yds.
• Warren Partee - 7/3/2023
  Nice cabin in a great location. We really enjoyed ourselves. Fishing was good on the river! We’ll be back.

• Amy Toune - 3/2/2023
  We had a nice stay. Cozy little cabin. Nice to hear the river. If you want seclusion this is not it, there are several cabins all around. Staying at this time of year is quiet though.
• Susan Arceneaux - 2/17/2023

  Excellent everything. Thank y’all. Very relaxing.
• Duane Hoke - 7/25/2022
  The cabin was very clean comfortable and a great place to relax and enjoy listening to the river rolling by. It is a convenient location to Cades Cove and river tubing and restaurant dining in Townsend. My wife has always wanted to stay in a cabin by a river and she got her wish for our 44th anniversary.

• donna busby - 4/10/2022
  Was a awesome time. The cabin was very clean. Was so peaceful and the dogwood tree in the front was bloomed which made awesome pictures. The back deck was perfect to sit and listen tothe water and the fire pit on it was great. Would stay again and again.
• Adrianna Perry - 3/21/2022
  We enjoy staying in the cabins offered. River Bend cabin was a little closer to the RV parks than expected and the noise carried over to the patio area, making it not so peaceful to enjoy the river sounds. Future rentals we will stick to cabins away from the RV parks.
• Alexander Efflandt - 3/1/2022
  Amazing little cabin for the two of us to enjoy our honeymoon. Loved the Hot tub with the river sounds in the background. Very cozy experience.
• Roderick Chapman - 12/31/2021
  This little cabin is amazing… I loved sitting on the deck drinking my coffee in the mornings. We’re already planning our next trip here.
• Emily Johnson - 12/14/2021
  We really loved the cabin. It was the perfect size for 2 of us for a few nights. We loved having both of the tubs, and having a larger than hotel sized refrigerator. The bathroom door never closed properly though, and I could definitely feel the bumps in the floor, but I didn’t consider them a safety hazard. We loved having the smart TV so we could cast some movies. Overall, we would come back if we came back to the area.
• Kathryn DiVito - 11/20/2021
  Beautiful cottage - great location. Great outdoor deck and firepit. Cozy and impeccably clean with everything we needed. A perfecy stay.
• Carolyn Hernandez - 11/6/2021
  the cabin was very clean,had everything we needed and was very comfortable.We didn't use the hot tub or firepit but I'm sure a lot of people would enjoy them.
• glenn jarrett - 10/17/2021
  very enjoyable
• Jamie McCurley - 10/10/2021

• Linda - 8/18/2021
  Enjoyed my time at this sweet cabin! The porch and the deck were favorite hang out spots. Perfect for a quick get away.
• Jaime Bills - 8/12/2021
  Very nice stay. Cabin was the perfect couples getaway.
• Bandog Betty - 8/10/2021
  Loved the River Bend cabin. Stayed 4 nights, August 2020. Highly recommend. Charming woodsy romantic cabin overlooking the Little River, Townsend, TN. Great for watching the tubers tube by during the day. Sunlight through the trees, sparkling on the water, is truly delightful. Beautiful trees. Loved listening to the river every morning and evening. Very peaceful. Quaint. Sweet cabin for two to enjoy. Has everything you want and need. Comfy bed. Kitchen equipped, has everything you need to cook, bake. Garden tub. Hot tub. Fire pit. Charcoal grill. Ice cold AC for summer visitors. I'm from Florida, so cold AC is a must!. TV. The fridge a little dated, but is cold. Even the bathroom is cute! Coming back again, soon, end of August 2021 soon! Staying at another Smoky Cabins rental. Staying at the Laurelwood cabin this time. Something a little bigger, different. Pool access included. Will miss being on the river though, I think. Will see. All the Smoky Cabins look inviting, one cabin even has a pool table. Each unique, special. Management is very receptive, prompt, courteous and accommodating. Grade: A+ and 5 ***** STARS! Thank you! BB
• Judy Barbour - 7/21/2021
  Wonderful 3 day stay at this cabin. Perfectly situated for quick entrance into Smokey Mountains National Park. Very well appointed and comfortable. Deck with the firepit was great for hanging out in the evenings. Management was quick to respond to the one issue we had with the grill. Highly recommended. We will come back again. Wonderful 40th anniversary weekend.
• Shannon Morgan - 7/15/2021
  Cabin is great! We had an awesome time! The only negatives I can see is there is no dishwasher, no washer and dryer and the shower is really, really small. Overall a great experience though!
• Kristin Cody - 6/11/2021
  Cabin was great. Clean and comfortable. Beautiful river view.
• Kimberley Jones - 6/8/2021
  We had a wonderful honeymoon at this quaint little cabin! Great deck overlooking the river with a fire pit, gas grill and hot tub (super clean) what is not to love oh and it gets better with a huge tv that you can watch from the couch or the amazing comfortable bed! Huge jetted tub inside (also super clean) & cozy kitchen with everything you need should you want to cook! Everything thing is quality from the dishes and cookware to the amazing thick comfy towels! Thank you Keith & Cathy for a wonderful stay! We will be back!
• Ladonna Dartt - 5/10/2021
  The quaint cabin was smaller than expected but we loved sitting on the deck enjoying the surroundings and the sound of the water below us. The cabin had everything we needed and for the most part was clean. The shower was way to small for my husband who is 6'4" and weighs about 220 so we'll probably not rent this one again because of the shower size.
• Melissa Knapp - 5/4/2021
  We loved everything about Riverbend. The cabin was beautifully decorated and really felt like home. It was so quiet, at night, the only sounds you heard were the rushing water of the river, and a whippoorwill who decided to sing for us.
• April Johnson - 4/4/2021
  Amazing. Exactly as expected. Fantastic views. Cozy & so comfortable. Will be calling to book again!
• Anthony Pitman - 2/20/2021
  Wonderful

• NIcole Hefley - 1/21/2021
  Enjoyed our stay at River Bend. Loved seeing the note we left in 2017.
• Dan Carrell - 12/31/2020
  The cabin is a very nice cabin. The location was perfect for us. The Christmas snow made ut that much more special. I will be booking this cabin again.
• Cameron Lundborg - 12/13/2020
  Super cozy! Close to everything (trails, attractions, winery's)!
• Kelsey Bird - 11/15/2020
  Great experience! The cabin was cozy and clean, beautiful view of the river. We had a wonderful stay!
• Heidi Johnson - 10/17/2020
  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your cabin. It was perfect for us and we like the quieter side. Did not want to be in the hustle and bustle of town.
• Heather A Lord - 9/27/2020
  We loved our stay at the cabin! Perfect for a romantic getaway!
• Tara Johnson - 8/20/2020
  Nice little cabin. The outside needs a little TLC but the inside is spotless and cozy. The only thing is the pictures show stairs leading to the water but they are really 2 houses down. Not a big deal but we had to hunt for them.
• Steve and Sandra Cobb - 8/16/2020
  Nice cabin with wonderful spacious deck overlooking river! We appreciated the cleanliness and amenities provided.
• Kim Thomas - 8/4/2020
  Loved the cabin! Perfect for a couple! We will be back!
• Mark Anderson - 7/15/2020
  So far the 3 cabins we have stayed in over the years have been very clean and well equipped. We have had no problems with this company. They were fantastic to work with in our rescheduling due to covid shutdowns.
• Courtney Baker - 6/29/2020
  We abosutely loved our stay at River Bend! It was a beautiful cabin right on the river and easy access down to the water. It had everything we needed and was absolutely perfect for a romantic vacation! We hope to stay here again in the future!
• Tonya Stone - 6/20/2020
  Perfect little romantic cabin. It is absolutely beautiful and the perfect place to spend out 17th wedding anniversary
• Mark Royston - 6/14/2020
  The cabin was exceptionally clean. The river made for an excellent location. We will be back!
• Nichole Corbett - 6/11/2020
  I absolutely loved this cabin, it’s location and the company in charge of renting it to me. I am a customer for life if the customer service and cleanliness of the cabins are at this level for all of them. One happy customer already scheduling other trip because of this experience.
• Robert Clark - 5/11/2020
  Had a great time👍 the river & cabin were beautiful. Scenery was awsome. Rode horses at Next to Heaven Stables on north 321, north of Townsend. Wonderful vacation & experiences
• Tessi Gilmer - 3/29/2020
  We loved this little cabin. Had an issue, and they sent someone right out. Very friendly. We will stay again!
• Anthony Pitman - 2/24/2020
  Excellent we will be back.
• Shelby England - 1/26/2020
  Great little spot for a getaway for two.
• Robert - 12/8/2019
  My wife and I spent our 22nd anniversary here. It was awesome. We stayed 3 nights, no other guests in the other cabins so it was super quiet. The cabin had everything we needed. We plan to return.
• Susan Dickerson - 11/11/2019
  Very clean cabin, nice scenic location.
• Paige Grimm - 10/25/2019
  Beautiful cabin with a wonderful view of Little River from the back deck. Lots of wildlife, including chipmunks and a river otter playing on the boulders right below us. There is no river access at the cabin, just an at-your-own-risk steep path below the deck that is impassible for the last 15 feet so we didn’t risk it because we forgot our rappelling gear ;). We walked down to Little Arrow campground to access the riverfront and do some exploring. Loved having the fire pit going every night and relaxing in the hot tub. Having rocking chairs would have made it spectacular but we will bring some folding ones next time. The KOA was mostly quiet and not a bother at all. The cabin was the perfect size for the two of us for a week. The floor had a lot of character, lol. If you plan to stay in the fall or winter, bring a couple of throw blankets to snuggle under on the couch or deck. The kitchen was nicely stocked with dishes, even had some salt/pepper, sugar, syrup, and coffee filters. We bought firewood in town and found plenty of twigs lying around. The tree in front of the cabin has a large fat lighter limb joint (nature’s kerosene) left laying there from a recent trimming. I used a few chips from that to start fires in the fire pit. The cabins around us were empty most of the week and it was very peaceful. We hiked 15 miles of trails in the park during our 6-day stay here - beautiful country!

  Management Response: Thank you guys for staying with us at River Bend. There is a common area to the right of the cabin where you can directly access the river. It is only about 75 yards away. Thank you for leaving your thoughts on your experience. We love hearing about our guests stay!
• Sharon Fletcher - 8/5/2019
  Cabin was spotless,well equipped with everything we needed..location was great
• Angela Ensley - 7/15/2019
  The best vacation ever! It was so beautiful and peaceful that we didn't want to leave. We couldn't have picked a better place to spend our honeymoon!
• Steve Hinshaw - 6/10/2019
  Great property! Beautiful view of river. Very cozy!
• DC - 5/27/2019
  This was a great little cabin -- spotlessly clean, incredibly cozy, and with everything I needed and wanted. The management has really listened to earlier reviews -- there's now a great parking area out front. I enjoyed the outdoor hot tub, indoor jacuzzi, and fire pit, but mostly just spent my time sitting on the back deck listening to the river (and yes, you can hear campers across the river and folks tubing, but it's not overly loud, and the trees give great privacy). I had one maintenance issue but the managers were proactive in contacting me, and I appreciate that they're readily available for anything you need. I look forward to coming back here again someday!
• Richard Kuhn - 5/26/2019
  Great cabin. Very clean.
• Ann Conway - 5/19/2019
  Wow what a fantastic cabin, great quiet location. The cabin is beautiful, beautifully furnished, plenty of utensils to enable self catering. Really good internet,. Wee didn’t need to use the fire but it looked great and of course a good looking hot tub. River view was stunning, supermarkets and restaurants within a 10 minute drive, everything you could need. One small improvement would be to include a set of drawers for clothes for those of us staying for longer periods. We would definitely return.
• Nathan Pruitt - 4/5/2019
  What a great place to relax and get some much needed rest , we loved the deck over looking the river , this cabin was was like our home away from home , we will be coming back soon!
• Matthew Williams - 4/4/2019
  Fantastic as always.
• Jeff Clark - 2/11/2019
  Nice cozy cabin for two. High view of the river and a nice back deck and hot tub.our suggestion to make this a 5 star stay would be to have a little place (closet or chest) to unpack your suitcases. Huge tv and nice gas fireplace.
• Kellie Stephenson - 2/5/2019
  So easy to book, get instructions, and directions. Cabin was WONDERFUL!
• Joseph Miller - 12/29/2018
  Great little cabin. We had a wonderful time. The cabin was very clean and efficient. Everything was just right for a two person getaway. We really enjoyed sitting by the fire of a evening and listening to the river just below us. It rained one night that we were there, and it was so relaxing to listen to it on the metal roof. Cathy Moore was very pleasant and easy to work with. I would highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a few days of relaxation.
• Angel Negrin - 12/16/2018
  The cabin was beautiful and very warm and welcoming! The hot tub was great for relaxing at the end of the day, and the sound of the river was an added bonus.
• Rachel Hinton - 12/10/2018
  We absolutely LOVED our stay with you all and are already planning our next trip! The cabin was spotless and everything was set up for us perfectly. Thank you so much for an amazing experience!
• Kim Johnson - 11/20/2018
  Cute cabin. Great view by the river on the back deck.
• Tamara Mozingo - 11/5/2018
  Awesome little cabin. Just what we was looking for. We had no phone service much while we was there so that was even better. Didnt get to use hot tub when was planned due to rain but didn't find the switch to turn it on nor for the tub inside. I did not want to leave. Awesome outdoor area.
• Andrea P - 11/4/2018
  Loved this cabin! Perfect getaway for 2. Hopefully we can return soon.
• Larry Castleberry - 10/21/2018
  Romantic cabin, off the beaten path but close enough to Gatlingberg, Cherokee, Pigeon Forge, Cades Cove. Beautiful cabin enjoyed our stay, it was everything we could possibly want for a mountain getaway. Highly recommend it and we would book this cabin again, thank you.
• Gary Walker - 10/16/2018
  This was a cozy welcoming cabin, perfect for 2!!! We had everything we needed and enjoyed a relaxing week in Townsend!
• Amy Bussard - 9/30/2018
  We loved this cabin and it's location. Our only complaint was the door was hard to open. No big deal. It rained every day we there so we understand. We will definitely be back
• Rachel Neeley - 9/5/2018
  We absolutely loved our stay here at this cabin. It was the perfect size for the 2 of us, and had everything we could have wanted. The deck overlooking the river was a huge bonus and we spent a lot of evenings and mornings just watching the river. We didn't even mind the campground across the river -- another reviewer mentioned it but we are campers ourselves so we didn't mind at all. Even the people on tubes weren't a bother -- most were just having fun, not out to make noise or cause any problems. The only issue we had with this quaint little cabin was the driveway, or lack thereof. It rained every afternoon while we were there and by the time we left to head home, there was a huge puddle of mud across the whole yard. There was no way around it. A little gravel would go a long way to making this a 5 star review! Oh, and some better back deck patio furniture would be nice, but we really enjoyed the cabin regardless!

  Management Response: We are having some gravel delivered soon and will look at the patio furniture.
• Robin Chariker - 7/1/2018
  Very nice cabin very relaxing . we are definitely coming back!
• Peter DeFrancisco - 6/10/2018

  Great experience.
• Natalie Gerhardstein - 1/2/2018
  Thank you so much for a lovely stay! We loved the fireplaces and cabin location - cabin was well supplied and we hope to return another time!
• Kim Reed - 11/14/2017
  It was a very good cabin for two people. Very comfortable, in quiet location away from the crowd but with good WIFI and cable to keep in touch.
• Patsy Emmons - 11/6/2017
  It was a lovely cabin in a beautiful setting. I couldn't fill out the guestbook bc I broke my wrist the day before I arrive. I would recommend this cabin. Absolutely loved it.

  Management Response: Thank you so much for staying with us Patsy. We hope that your wrist heals quickly!!
• R L & Sarah Poole - 11/4/2017
