This cozy, rustic cabin is nestled on the bank of the scenic Little River in quaint Townsend, TN. Just a short drive from Pigeon Forge, Cades Cove, and other attractions, this cabin combines the feeling of solemn remoteness with the convenience of local walking-distance amenities, including a grocery store, gas station, and restaurants. We are family friendly and welcome you to make a tradition out of bringing your family to Townsend each year, just like our family did when we were children!
Rippling Waters Retreat is situated directly on the Little River in Townsend, TN right in the heart of Townsend. The cabin has a secluded feel, though it is less than a mile from restaurants, attractions, a gas station, convenient store, supermarket, and more. The cabin shares many acres of land and river frontage with other cabins. Free parking is provided at the retreat, making getting around Townsend easy. This is a rustic cabin situated directly on a river, backed up to woods. Though we maintain pest control and pest prevention services on the property, it is impossible to guarantee our guests with a pest-free experience (e.g. fireflies, flying bugs, crawling bugs, other insects, squirrels, etc.), while also maintaining a rustic look and experience to the property. Though the vast majority of our guests have never reported pests, all guests are required to be aware they are booking a rustic experience, including all the natural elements found in nature.
Similarly, though we seek to maintain stringent cleaning practices and standards, it is impossible to guarantee our guests a stay at our property completely free of dust, cobwebs and other elements indicative of being in a rustic cabin. Given the rustic nature of the cabin and the experience the majority of our guests expect, all guests are required to be aware they are booking a rustic experience, including all the natural elements found in nature.
By booking, you agree not to allow the aforementioned qualities of a rustic cabin to impact your review on our property, acknowledging you are purchasing this experience as described above.
Wonderful cabin! Close to everything in Townsend . Clean and so comfortable!

Cabin on the River
There was 4 brothers and our sister on our 3rd annual sibling vacation in the Smoky Mountains. The swings on the back porch watching and listening to the Little River was our favorite evening experience. We truly enjoyed our stay!

Great stay
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.

Relaxing Place
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!

Rippling Waters EXCELLENT LOCATION
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.

We loved the location, right on the river at the end of the road,the porch swings were great and very quiet. Overall the cabin was clean, we did find a sock, popcorn and a coaster under the tv in the living room and the refrigerator needs a good cleaning.The wood burning fireplace caused an odor in the cabin,reminded me of my childhood home, but my wife didn't like it. It is an older property and shows some age but I enjoyed it.

Lovely location next to river
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.

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.

Our weekend
Overall the stay was pretty good. There were a few issues we ran into as far as things that house keeping had left behind. However, we immediately reached out to the property manager and she was very apologetic of the situations. The location was amazing. Our kiddos loved being so close to the water. Overall we would stay here again in the future.

Rippling waters retreat
We had the best time at the cabin. Townsend is such of a lovely unique town. If you want to have a relaxing time you definitely want to stay here. It is in a great location. It is close to so many wonderful attractions without the busyness of a larger city. The cabin is very clean and has all of your basic necessities. The river is right behind it and you can relax by the water. It was just great! We enjoyed it immensely!
