Cozy by the River

Set on a bluff overlooking the Little Pigeon River, River Romp is an unforgettable winter cabin. Even on the chilliest days, you might spot river otters fishing or deer ambling through the snow. Stay toasty in the hot tub on the covered deck and listen to the river flowing. Curl up with a book in the rustic bedroom, or piece together a puzzle on the dining table while you sip hot cocoa. This romantic one-bedroom cabin accommodates two guests.

Here, you’re near one of the best-kept secrets of Great Smoky Mountains National Park: The Greenbrier entrance. Few tourists use this park entrance, so it’s less crowded. Go for a winter hike to a frozen waterfall, then come home to your warm cabin!
