"We travel a lot, and usually, pictures of properties don't tell the exact story. Not true here, every picture shown here was spot on and accurate. This is a cozy, romantic, rustic type cabin with all you could need or want. Location? Could not be better, step out back and watch the rapids of the flowing river, sit in the hot tub in the screened in porch and watch and listen to the river. Ready for the town? An easy walk to everything in Gatlinburg, whether it be dining or shopping. We visit the Smokies twice a year and have found our go to the cabin for future dates. The decor was lovely, the wifi, TV, and electronics top notch, but it's all about comfort and romance here. If any pictures told a story, the ones you'll see of this cabin are right on and you could not be disappointed. We look forward to our fall trip now, knowing we have already found the cabin of our choice! Perfect."

"We had a beautiful weekend. Our cabin "On The River" was full of BEAUTIFUL details and made our experience even more special. We absolutely loved the style and comfort of the entire place. Will definitely return soon!!"

"Loved On The River!! The cabin was great and Cabins for You was GREAT to work with! Can't wait to go back!"

"We travel a lot. Twice a year our destination is Gatlinburg. This time we wanted something riverside, yet still close to town. We decided on our cabin, "On the River" based on pictures and limited reviews. Upon arrival, we found every single picture we had seen were perfect in reality! This cabin screamed of decor, comfort, romance and location! It was nearly perfect. Cozy and comfortable sofa and recliner placed directly in front of the fireplace and big screen television. Dual sink bathroom with oversized 2 person shower with rain shower and individual shower heads. Very large bedroom with comfortable king size bed, plenty of drawer and closet space, and even a washer and dryer hidden in a closet. A custom deep water copper tub awaits you next to the door leading to the screened in porch. And that porch is to die for, 2 rockers and a 4 person hot tub provide the sights and sounds of the flowing mountain stream just outside to add to your relaxation and mountain feel. The kitchen is large with high end plates and utensils, not to mention the perfect retro appliances only add to the overall charm. Location is PERFECT! Not only is it directly on the stream, the walk to everything in Gatlinburg is easy whether it be dining, shopping, or playing. The cabin was very clean, well stocked and obviously loved in attention to detail. We encountered zero problems during our stay and the check in and check out process was a breeze. We travel with our 13 lb Havanese puppy and she loved it just as well and they even had a welcome kit for her. We have found our go to cabin now in Gatlinburg and look forward to many more stays there. I would highly recommend "On the River" and Cabins For You for your future stays and consideration."

"What a great spot to sit out in the yard and listen to and watch the river. Beautiful! So comfortable, with a large walk in shower and we slept great on the bed. Great location: quiet, but walking distance to trolley and shops and restaurants downtown. "

"We LOVED our stay with Cabins for You, they were so friendly, efficient and had an amazing response time to phone calls and emails when I had questions. I could not be more pleased with a rental company, the cabin was so clean, we even had a welcome bag waiting on us with all of our supplies, which was more than we've ever received anywhere else, we had supplies left over at the end of our stay and didn't have to use our own or go out and buy more. We ran into the inspector as we arrived and she was so friendly and made sure our place was clean and ready for us, turned on the a/c, we really felt welcomed! The before you come and after you leave videos were so helpful, everything was spelled out on what to expect and we got every email with the necessary directions and codes we needed. We couldn't have had a more pleasant stay and will definitely book with them again in the future. Every person we dealt with was professional, caring and friendly and assured we would be satisfied with our stay, and we were! Thanks Cabins for You for a wonderful stay in the Smokies, we loved the magnet picture frame and special tote along with the basket of snacks and a thank you card. You're the best!"

"You wont disappointed with a stay at this cabin on the river. Privacy, soothing sound of the river, quiet, comfortable quarters, washer and dryer and the hot tub and dual head shower make for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway. far enough from downtown to get away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to enjoy going out and into town If that's your thing."
-
"This is my second time booking with this company. The website is very user friendly. They offer a large variety of cabins with great descriptions and pictures. If we had any issues at the cabin, customer service was always easy to get in touch with and a great help. Our cabin “on the river” was absolutely amazing. Definitely recommend this company for booking your cabin!"
-
"My husband and I stayed at On the River and the cabin was amazing. We didn’t want to leave. The staff at cabins for you is extremely helpful and friendly. We will be returning soon."
-
"We loved being in walking distance to restaurants and shops. Loved listening to the river right outside our window"
-
"It was even better than we had hoped for. The perfect get away."
-
"This is an amazing location an cabin! It had everything we needed for our 24th anniversary getaway. We could walk to locations in Gatlinburg that we wanted to visit or easily drive to our chosen hiking trails in the park. The hot tub was fabulous after our hiking experiences and the well equipped kitchen made it easy to prepare breakfast and an occasional dinner at the cabin. The window seat was a great place for my morning devotional reading or afternoon rest. We will definitely check out this cabin and Cabins For You again!

"This place is so cute! We loved it, the river is so peaceful to listen to at night!
"

"Loved this cute cabin! Everything about it was so nice."
-
"We had an amazing stay here! The cabin was very cozy and but spacious at the same time. The kitchen was stocked with everything that we needed. Check in was very easy and upon arrival, the cabin was extremely clean and all setup for our stay. Definitely would visit again in the future!"
-
"This cabin was so charming and relaxing! You can hear the river from inside in the most wonderful way. The bed was unbelievably comfortable as was the adorable book nook. Close enough to walk downtown, but in a lovely quiet area. Such a peaceful retreat, thankful to have found this cabin!"
-
"This cabin is absolutely beautiful! We went with the goal to continue our social distancing in nature near the river. This cabin provided just that. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen and grilling outside (basic charcoal grill without a lid). Given the circumstances of our visit (during COVID19), there were not many other people staying in the cabins next door which allowed us to feel secluded; however, if you were to travel during normal tourist times, you will have neighbors very close by. This might be apparent by looking at the map or reading other reviews but this cabin is essentially in the heart of downtown Gatlinburg which may or may not be what you are looking for. Little side things to note when preparing for you stay: only 1 roll of toilet paper/paper towel is provided so if you have a stay longer than a day or two bring extra, salt and pepper is not included (don't let the shakers fool you), and there is no wine opener (multiple beer openers if that's your thing). To add on to a previous review, the river truly is tantalizing close. If you have intentions of fishing or wading into the river, the current is rapid in front of the cabin and there is approximately an 8 foot drop to it so you will have to travel to better spots to access it. That being said, it was absolutely wonderful to sit outside or in the hot tub and watch/listen to the river. Altogether, it was a beautiful, cozy, romantic cabin and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We will be copying some decor ideas for our own home!"

"We rented a small cabin called On The River....it is right by the Creek....you can walk down town to Gatlinburg, has seating out by the Creek, had a grill, hot tub on a screened in porch with two rockers...had a king bed- that was very comfortable....very clean....loved the Kitchen & had alot of Windows to look out at the Creek!! We will stay here again...we have rented from Cabins For you several times....they were great to work with & if I had a question they got right back to me....so our experience was GREAT!! Also it was pet friendly..so our little Schischon dog got to come too!!"
-
"Thank you for offering a cute and relaxing place to stay in Gatlinburg that was pet friendly! The decor was adorable, the reading nook was very cozy and great for watching the River, and the hot tub/soaking tub was just perfect! The drop off down to the river (approximately 6 feet) was very nerve wracking for us since we were traveling with dogs and people were fishing in the river. In the pictures it definitely looks more level with the river. But listening to that peaceful sound made up for it! Our pups eventually learned to stay away from the edge. Being so centrally located was great since we happened to pick a weekend that had a Rod Run in town and traffic was just insane. Because of that, we definitely didn’t get to explore as much of the area as we had planned. So being close to the restaurants, shopping, and Anakeesta park certainly made it much easier to see downtown Gatlinburg! I was glad we splurged for the centralized location! We decided to enjoy the cabin’s amenities more as well which was super relaxing (hello hot tub!) and did not disappoint. They gave us a cute goodies bag, but maybe bring your own things like salt, pepper, extra trash bags, and extra TP if you think you’ll need it for your stay! Overall, we were very happy with our stay and would stay again!"
-
"Great place to stay! Beautiful retro kitchen and the sound of the creek is nice. It is close to everything and right off the parkway but you can’t hear road noise because of the creek. Highly recommend."

"This was my first experience with renting a cabin in Gatlinburg. We wanted somewhere close to the strip that was pet friendly. Our fur baby is a diabetic, so I have to keep him close by to administer his two daily shots. We were looking to go with a hotel, but a search on the Gatlinburg forum on TripAdvisor for "pet friendly cabins close to the strip" brought me to a discussion that included a link to the "On the River" cabin. It was love at first sight! I loved the layout/decor/charm and river view of this cabin, and the hot tub being indoor was a big plus. We splurged and got the cabin, and within one day we had everything we needed to get to the cabin. That's amazing service! The countdown to head to the cabin was brutal, we were ready to check in! Our trip was easy peasy due to having the ability to watch the videos numerous times on how to get to the cabin. Another plus about this cabin...no steep roads or crazy driveways! Our arrival was easy peasy, just put in the code and off we went. The cabin was clean, spacious, and had everything needed for our stay. Everything worked, and there were instructions and phone numbers if there was an issue. Cabin was clean and looked just like the photos! We loved our stay! It's about a half mile of a walk to get to the main strip, but we needed to burn off the calories after eating our way through Gatlinburg! Coming back to this cabin to relax in the hot tub after a day of exploring the Smokies, Gatlinburg, or Pigeon Forge was a highlight of the trip. The only complaint would be that I had to leave! 🤣"
-
"This cabin was perfect for our honeymoon! We stayed 6 nights and love that we could just walk about 15 minutes into the main part of Gatlinburg! I usually stay in cabins with a Mountain View so I wasn’t sure how I’d like it, but I loved it just as much if not more then the others I’ve stayed at! We enjoyed laying by the window listening to the river and watching the geese and groundhog in the evenings. We hope to come back for our anniversary hopefully next year."
-
"This was my first time renting from Cabins 4 YOU but it won't be the last. We stayed in a little cabin in Gatlinburg, just off the main drag, and it was awesome! It's an old little thing but they upgraded the kitchen and the bath and added a hot tub on the back porch, it's very comfy, cozy and quiet! I rented 9 months in advance and they kept me updated every step of the way with all the info I could want. Check in and out is so easy, you do it right at the cabin when you open the front door for the first time and close it for the last. These are excellent people to work with, highly recommended, I'm already looking forward to planning another trip with them!! Well done!"
-

"Our cabin was very charming, clean, and comfortable! We brought or doggo and she loved the back yard area and looking at the water. Location was perfect and even though it was so close to town it still felt private. My favorite part of the cabin was the reading nook!"
-
"True cabin experience with added touches for a comfortable stay! Cooler weather by the creek with wooded shade!"
-
"Beautiful cabin! Really enjoyed it! It is located close to all major attractions, restaurants and shopping; yet, it is situated in a private area away from the noise. The sound of the river was very relaxing. We are even spotted a bear in the morning, circling the cabin. Highly recommend!"
-
"We loved our stay! It was beautiful and peaceful near the creek but also walking distance to many activities and restaurants."
-
"We were celebrating our 47th wedding anniversary and checked in on that day. I secretly arranged with your wonderful staff to purchase four romantic packages to cover the cabin inside with Love. And boy did y'all bring the Wow! The meal, the rose petals, the seclusion, the beauty , the screened in porch with hot tub. It was was everything I hoped to give my Beloved and more. Thank you so much."

"We are returning for our 2nd year to celebrate my husband's birthday. This is our favorite cabin and I can see many more visits here for years to come. A+ for cabin atmosphere! A+ for convenience to downtown! A+ to definitely return!"

"The cabin was just as shown in the photos and so close to town!! We left the car parked and walked everywhere!! It was awesome being on the river!"

"It was a nice cute honeymoon cabin! The sound of the river was so relaxing especially when relaxing in the hottub! Loved the look of the place and it was not far to walk to a trolley stop to ride into downtown Gatlinburg! Definitely Recommend!"
-
"A wonderful stay for our honeymoon!"
-
"This cabin was a dream! Beautifully decorated, cozy and so comfortable. Bed was comfy, tons of hot water for the shower and a fully equipped kitchen. After a long day of hiking and walking around town, it was so nice to come back to this little gem. The pictures online were 100% accurate, but once I saw it in person I could really appreciate the charm. The cabin was very clean and I felt right at home. Next time I’m in town I will definitely book this place again!"
-
"We loved our stay. We spent most of our time in Dollywood and at dinner shows. The one day that we had free, we were easily able to walk to all the attraction in the heart of Gatlinburg."
-
"Very nice!! Peaceful next to stream and close to Gatlinburg strip."
-
"We WILL be back!!!"
-
"A wonderful stay for our honeymoon!"
-
"This cabin location is Great ! .. right on the river & Gatlinburg. We enjoyed the gas fireplace. .. turned on with a flip of a switch. Cabin looks like it's been recently remodeled ... my wife loves the retro style kitchen, & I enjoyed the hot tub. Our experience was great & we would recommend this cabin."
-
"Absolutely loved our time spent at the Cabin on the river. Everything about our stay was great! The cabin was well taken care of. It felt very clean and had most of the amenities needed for our stay. The location of the cabin was perfect. Less than half a mile from the start of downtown Gatlinburg. Yet it felt as if we were in the country away from everyone within a ten minute walk. The river running through the back yard was absolutely beautiful. I could have sat there all day long. The hot tub enclosed by a screened in porch was the perfect way to wind down each night. The king sized bed was comfy! All in all, we had an amazing stay. Perfect place for a couple to get away from the fast paced world we all live in. My only complaint is that two days wasn't long enough!! We will be back soon!"
-
"My fiancé and I had a wonderful weekend enjoying your property. It was clean and had everything we needed. Being able to walk to downtown Gatlinburg was perfect so that we didn’t have to deal with traffic or trying to find parking. We will definitely rent this property again!"
-
"I give the cabin(cottage) 5 of 5 stars everything was awesome and as listed. I perfect little getaway. The only thing is the gas fireplace never worked and that may be operator error but there were not instructions specific to that fireplace and I did reach out to the manager to ask but recieved a generic instructions set and could never get it to work. However it was a great location and perfect stay. Thank you and we definitely would love to come back!"
-
"Reservation process very easy."
-
""This was the PERFECT pet-friendly cabin for our get-away! It is tastefully decorated leaving the rustic integrity of the cabin. The shower was clean and spacious...big enough for two! Loved the location with it's close proximity to downtown Gatlinburg! We never really had to drive anywhere....we enjoyed getting to walk to all our favorite places! We would definitely recommend this beautiful cabin and we will certainly be coming back in the years to come! :)
A+ for cabin atmosphere!
A+ for convenience to downtown!
A+ to definitely return!""

"Everything about On The River was great, very nice cabin for a couple wanting to bring fur babies. My only concern was the drop off to the water in the back yard had to keep dogs close."

"We WILL be back!!!"

"We stayed here for our honeymoon in March. It was so beautiful and cozy. The perfect getaway!"
-
"Very nice!! Peaceful next to stream and close to Gatlinburg strip."
-
"super cute cabin that felt private but close to everything. we even walked to downtown Gatlinburg most days because it was quicker than driving in traffic! it was so peaceful listening to the creek at night and relaxing in the hot tub was perfect after hiking. Definitely would recommend and would stay again!"
-
"Overall the stay was very nice and location was great. The view of the river is beautiful. There were some minor maintenance issues that needed to be addressed inside and outside."
-
"We absolutely loved this cute little house! It was right off of the main strip in Gatlinburg, so you're close to everything, but it felt like you were in your own little quiet piece of paradise with the sound of flowing water right out back! The house is small, but a perfect size for my husband and me. We loved the big shower and soaking tub, and the kitchen is just the cutest! I'm sure we would have loved the hot tub as well, but they needed to replace a part while we were staying there, so we never got to use it. The washer/dryer is very small, but we were thankful to have it at least. We were very comfortable the whole time and would definitely be back! Make sure to pack the essentials (hand soap, toilet paper, paper towels, dishwashing detergent, laundry detergent, salt/pepper, oil spray for cooking, etc. as they either don't provide it, or provide just enough for a night or two). Also, there was no streaming available on the TVs, so your options are cable or DVDs."
-
"We had our honeymoon in a river cottage. It was a nice stay close to town. Pretty place. We loved this history of this cottage. We didn't want to leave! Thank you for the memories."
-
"Enjoyed our stay at On River Time. Very clean and cozy. Loved the gas fireplace!"
-
"Cute and quaint cabin right along the river near downtown Gatlinburg. We were able to walk the ~5min. to free trolley stop to avoid driving along the strip. Perfect place to relax and unwind, almost complete privacy when using the hot tub on the back deck. We will definitely be back!"
-
"We have a wonderful time while there. Very clean and peaceful, hated leaving and going back to the real world of work and never ending errands. For some reason unable to post photos. Would recommend to all my friends and they know how picky I am."
-
"This was a fantastic place to stay for my parents! They ranted and raved about their stay! Close to everything and private as well!"
-
"I loved staying at the cabin. I loved the sound of the river! We could hear it when we woke up in the mornings! So peaceful! The cabin was close to town, which is always convenient. We would definitely stay again."
-
"This cabin is perfect! So cozy and cute! The hot tub on the screened in porch is the icing on the cake ❤️ my husband and I and our pup really enjoyed our stay"

"Perfect weekend, Perfect location. Everything was great."
-
"We stayed at 'On The River' and we can honestly say there wasn't much we could complain about. The place was very clean and you could smell it had just been cleaned. You could tell the couch and other furniture had just been cleaned as well. The only thing that could have been updated was the loose tiles in the shower but that definitely was not a deal breaker at all. You just had to watch out for the loose tiles and place them back in the spot if they knocked loose. The creek was a peaceful touch and was cool to watch and listen to while in the hot tub. Pack extra towels, toilet paper, paper towels etc. It was extremely nice to be able to walk to everything in Gatlinburg. It was still private enough to feel like you were secluded but it was definitely a plus to be able to walk to almost anything. Overall, it was a great trip, great spot and great memories made."
-
"Both a secluded private relaxing place and a short walk to multiple restaurants and entertainment options."
-
"The cutest little cabin! Perfect for a weekend getaway with my husband! The only downside to this cabin was the tile in the tub was loose, and the hot tub lights did not work. But not anything that wouldn't make me want to stay here again!"
-
"Love at first sight with this cabin! It looked exactly like the photos on the website. The layout was perfect and decor was charming. The quaint kitchen had everything we needed and the shower was roomy enough for two. We used the jacuzzi every night after a day of walking and got a great night’s sleep in the super comfy bed. Favorite thing of all was drinking our morning coffee by the river. The sound of the water brought such peace to our soul. We appreciated the location of the cabin being right off the parkway making for an easy walk to shops, bars and restaurants. We even spotted a bear on Hemlock street but our car scared him and he ran into the woods. We received detailed instructions on the check-in and check-out process. Everything about our stay was perfect. We would love to stay here again!"
-
"We loved staying here! It was close enough to walk to town, and on the days we were hiking, it was a treat to return to the hot tub. I could have spent our whole trip sitting in the reading nook! The bathroom needs a little refreshing as far as the flooring in the shower; some of the tiles are coming up, but really that was minor. We had an issue with our toilet while were there and the Cabins for You maintenance staff came and repaired the issue in no time while we were mini golfing. We would definitely stay here again!"
-
"On the River is awesome!! Entry code didn't work on arrival, called the 800 number and was given an alternate code. Customer service was great. There was only 1/2 roll of TP, but we just bought some"
-
"We stayed here for our honeymoon, and it was perfect! It was less than a 10-minute walk to downtown, but it felt like we were far away. They had an adorable guestbook where everyone wrote their experience and where they went, it really helped us decide what to do! We will be staying here again we loved it!"
-
"This cabin is perfect for a honeymoon or a 37th Anniversary. It is quaint, quiet, and comfortable. It is easy to reach all of the attractions in the area. Best of all it is right by the river for a wonderful night's sleep. Don't miss this one for a great couple's retreat."
-
"My husband and I have visited Gatlinburg many times over the years, and this was our first time to stay with Cabins for You. Gatlinburg on the River was the perfect cottage for us. It's not only beautiful, as pictured in the photos, but it has almost anything you need to enjoy your visit. We especially loved cooking in the kitchen, the hot tub, and sitting outside on the rocking chairs to enjoy the peacefulness by the river. I had been injured a few weeks before we came to vacation, so this limited some of what we planned to do, but staying at this cabin saved the vacation, because it was so beautiful and restful."
-
"This is a quaint cabin on the river just a few blocks from downtown Gatlinburg!! It’s placed far enough from the road that the cars and trucks passing by aren’t terribly loud. Such a simple little treasure!! Make sure to pack plenty of extra towels!"
-
"Great cabin close to downtown. Very cozy and exactly as described. I would definitely stay again. It gives the vibes of a mountain cabin stay but still easy access to Gatlinburg without the traffic. We even saw a giant bear right outside, but the bear was cool and just moved along."
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in our little Cabin by the river. With the snow, it was like a dream come true. Everything was great, comfortable, and quite relaxing. It was such a cute cabin with an incredible view of the river. Close enough to everything. They listed all of the amenities….so be sure to read. We ended up having to buy seasonings and things like that because it was not stocked with any of the regular cooking spices. (Of course, it did not say that in the summary, so that’s on us.) Just go prepared with what you need to cook. They provide enough coffee for one pot, a few hand soaps, a small bottle of dish liquid, one packet of dishwasher powder, and that’s about it. You may want to bring washing detergent pods, and be sure to bring your own shampoo and conditioner…..there are no complementary items such as those. This review is merely to keep everyone in the know of what to expect. You will love your stay no matter what."
-
"We absolutely loved this place. The only bad thing I can say is that the tile on the bathroom floor is cracked pretty badly near the bedroom door & could easily cut someone. Also, the toilet seat is loose. Otherwise, I will definitely stay here again. Absolutely adorable!"
-
"Easy walking distance to the shops. Close grocery store. Very quiet area and feels secluded even with the cabins packed in. Some tile issues in the bathroom, but did not feel they were as bad as other comments made them seem. We would stay there every time without hesitation."
