4. Barefoot by the River

Nature lovers will delight in Barefoot by the River, a riverbank cabin for two. Sit outside in a rocking chair and watch for deer, bears, and birds. Go fishing or kayaking right out your back door, in waters flowing from the Smoky Mountains. When you’re tuckered out, retreat to the king bedroom with its heart-shaped jetted tub, or let the stone fireplace warm you.

5. River Reflections

Built from logs hewn in the 19th century, River Reflections is a riverside cabin for two that has Smokies history outside and modern comforts inside. The bedroom features a full-sized stone fireplace and the bathroom has an oversized, jetted tub. Outside, the big, level yard provides room for playing Frisbee or cooking out. Fish or wade in the river, or just listen to it rushing past as you drink coffee on the deck.
