1. Fun Place to Explore

Our Gatlinburg cabins on the river are great for parents with kids who love to explore. Wading through the water on a warm day in the spring or summer is always a blast for young children!

Please keep in mind, if you do choose to explore around the water at your riverfront Gatlinburg cabin, safety should still be your top priority. This means making sure that the water levels aren’t too high, being careful when stepping on wet rocks, and keeping an eye out for any creatures that live in the river banks.

2. Relaxing

One of the main reasons that families choose to take a vacation in the Smoky Mountains is to enjoy a few relaxing days away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. What could be more relaxing than sitting on the porch of a riverfront Gatlinburg cabin and admiring the water right from your rocking chair?

Just imagine waking up, enjoying a warm cup of coffee, and listening to the soothing babbling from the river steps away from your Gatlinburg cabin. These same calming sounds can also be found as you unwind from a full day of exploring all the fun things to do in the Smoky Mountains. We can almost guarantee you will not find anywhere more peaceful and more relaxing than the private deck of these rentals.

3. Scenic Views

In addition to the peaceful sounds at our Gatlinburg cabins on the river, guests will also love the stunning scenic views that these rentals offer. Here, guests will feel as if they are in their own private getaway, tucked into the lush forest of the Smoky Mountain area. There are no city lights to distract from the magnificent beauty of the area, and no buildings to block your view of the trees and nature around you.

4. Secluded Fishing Spot

There is no better way to spend a peaceful afternoon than sitting in a comfortable chair with a fishing pole in your hand, especially if you are able to do this right at your own secluded fishing spot at your riverfront Gatlinburg cabin.The Pigeon River is known for its smallmouth bass, rainbow trout, and walleye.

Now, we cannot guarantee that you will catch any fish, but casting your line is still a fun way to spend an afternoon. In addition, this can also be a great opportunity for parents to teach their kids how to fish.

Two of our most popular Gatlinburg cabins on the river are River’s Edge Lodge and River Camp. If you have any questions about these cabins, or you would like to make a reservation, don’t hesitate to give our vacation specialists a call today. We can’t wait to see you in the Smokies!
