This cabin is located in the heart of Townsend, TN. Townsend is a cute town in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains known for one of it's most iconic landmarks in the mountains known as Cade's Cove. The Little (not so little) River runs right through Townsend, making this a hot spot for trout fishing, tubing, kayaking, swimming, and more! Townsend has two swinging bridges that connect the town to the residential side, and one of the bridges connects right on this property! The bridge itself is public access and one of the attractions in the area, however, the public is not permitted on our property, which means private fishing, swimming, and tubing for you! Should you cross the bridge into town, you will find you are just one mile from the Great Smoky Mountain National Park a short enough distance to walk, run, ride, cycle, or drive to get there. Also located just on the other side of the bridge are The Abbey which is known for showcasing the finest local brewers craft beer and serving delicious food, Townsend Pancake House, Subway, and Smokin' Joes BBQ.
This cabin sits on 1.5 acres and you will have access to all of it, with the exception of the old barn. This parcel is part of a larger span of 5 acres and 3 houses total, one of which is also an overnight rental, and the 3rd one we live in. You will have exclusive access to the fire pit, this is not shared space, and you will have shared access to the private beach and 500' of river front for fishing/swimming/etc... Only our family and any other overnight guests from the second property would be using the shared private beach and river-front access.
