LOG HOME FAMILY RETREAT - TROUT STREAM - 3 ACRES - GAME ROOM -7 MIN TO NATL PARK

Cabin On River's Edge is an amazing Smokies retreat that families have been enjoying year after year. This large log cabin sits directly on the banks of Cosby Creek, one of the Blue Ribbon trout streams of the Great Smoky Mountains. Children can wade, fish, swim, and float up and down this stream, ranging in depth from 1 to 3 feet in most places.

Families will enjoy the very spacious and private grounds - the property sits on 3 acres of gently-sloping hills. View the meadows and mountains from the front porch, and the ever-rushing waters of Cosby Creek from the back porches.

Kids and grown-ups love the huge basement game room, complete with ping pong, pool table, air hockey, and a 65 inch HDTV! River's Edge also has a nice-sized utility room complete with washer & dryer.

Cabin On River's Edge is comfortably appointed with fine furnishings and decor and has a complete kitchen and large dining area for great family meals together.

Cabin On River's Edge is only 7 minutes from the Cosby Entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and is less than a mile from the famous Carver's Apple House & Restaurant! Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge are each a 25 minute drive.

Summer 2025 Family Vacation

We had a Wonderful time staying at this location, we really enjoyed the water and covered porches! We were a little disappointed to see a cabin directly behind ours. Wish there were TV's in the bedrooms and Master bed could be a bit more comfortable. Overall really enjoyed everything this place had to offer.

Relaxation at it's best!

My husband and I stayed here with our two sons, ages 18 and 19, and our dog Bailey, and we LOVED every second of it! From the relaxing sounds of the creek right outside our door, to the well maintained and incredibly clean cabin, we had a perfect family vacation and are so grateful to have had this time together at this beautiful cabin!

Nice place.

Overall trip was great! We didn’t like how big the drop off was to the creek but it still wasn’t terrible walking across.. we found some cool little creatures too!My one major complaint was We did have to wash the dishes because there was hair and fingerprints on some and there was some trash and socks under the bathroom sink in the master bath from previous guests.

Relaxation not far from reality

We were all very impressed in the second that we pulled onto the road. The check-in process was easy. All the instructions were given clearly. The home was immaculate and had everything you needed for a good relaxing stay. Our teens and other family members enjoy the game room. We really enjoyed sitting on the porch, swings and listening to the river both day and night. No traffic no loud noises. It was wonderful.

Great stay at the Cabin on the River

Staying at the Cabin on the River in Cosby, TN was a great experience for our family. We really enjoyed coffee on the porch listening to the creek in the mornings. The cabin was clean and cozy. Also, there was plenty of natural beauty a short drive away, and the cabin is conveniently located to Gatlinburg. We look forward to visiting again in the future.

Great location!!

We loved the cabin and the surroundings. We spent time on the decks, fishing, in the hot tub, relaxing and could even be outside when it was raining. The location is perfect, close enough to area attractions but far enough away to enjoy nature. We caught 1 trout in the creek. Enjoyed a day on Douglas lake, rafting, and the national park. The view of the mountains from just up the road is great to see the sunsets. Lots of space for the whole family to enjoy. We ate at Janices diner and the apple place and the dollar general had everything we needed. I would recommend this cabin for an enjoyable stay vlose to all the attractions you want.

Great spot, not too close to the hustle and bustle of Gatlinburg and pigeon forge area but also not too far away from anything we wanted to do.

Fun New Years

We stayed here after Christmas until New Years Day. We went with my parents and in-laws and we had a blast. I suggest bringing your own board games because they had a few but not many. The gameroom was fun! It was a 45 minute drive into Pigeon Forge, and we went nearly every day. We all had a good time there and it was nice.
