LOG HOME FAMILY RETREAT - TROUT STREAM - 3 ACRES - GAME ROOM -7 MIN TO NATL PARK

Cabin On River's Edge is an amazing Smokies retreat that families have been enjoying year after year. This large log cabin sits directly on the banks of Cosby Creek, one of the Blue Ribbon trout streams of the Great Smoky Mountains. Children can wade, fish, swim, and float up and down this stream, ranging in depth from 1 to 3 feet in most places.

Families will enjoy the very spacious and private grounds - the property sits on 3 acres of gently-sloping hills. View the meadows and mountains from the front porch, and the ever-rushing waters of Cosby Creek from the back porches.

Kids and grown-ups love the huge basement game room, complete with ping pong, pool table, air hockey, and a 65 inch HDTV! River's Edge also has a nice-sized utility room complete with washer & dryer.

Cabin On River's Edge is comfortably appointed with fine furnishings and decor and has a complete kitchen and large dining area for great family meals together.

Cabin On River's Edge is only 7 minutes from the Cosby Entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and is less than a mile from the famous Carver's Apple House & Restaurant! Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge are each a 25 minute drive.

Great stay at the Cabin on the River

Staying at the Cabin on the River in Cosby, TN was a great experience for our family. We really enjoyed coffee on the porch listening to the creek in the mornings. The cabin was clean and cozy. Also, there was plenty of natural beauty a short drive away, and the cabin is conveniently located to Gatlinburg. We look forward to visiting again in the future.

Great location!!

We loved the cabin and the surroundings. We spent time on the decks, fishing, in the hot tub, relaxing and could even be outside when it was raining. The location is perfect, close enough to area attractions but far enough away to enjoy nature. We caught 1 trout in the creek. Enjoyed a day on Douglas lake, rafting, and the national park. The view of the mountains from just up the road is great to see the sunsets. Lots of space for the whole family to enjoy. We ate at Janices diner and the apple place and the dollar general had everything we needed. I would recommend this cabin for an enjoyable stay vlose to all the attractions you want.

Christmas in the Smokies

Loved how the cabin was laid out. Plenty of room for our group of 7 to stretch out. We enjoyed the game room, porch rocker & swings, listening to the creek. We decorated and made it "our own" for Christmas. The grands checked out the hot tub. Jets needed cleaning..slimy mold. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay. No snow, but got a Christmas eve frost!

Birthday fun

We really enjoyed the cabin, beautiful area. We did not want to leave, I will rent this cabin again. Now if you have a hard time with stairs, going down to the game room can be hard for you. If you are tall, sit in the shower. I’m 5 1” it fit me just right. We had one who was about 6 5” and all we could do was laugh.

Our stay in Cosby cabin

I liked this cabin for its vintage and antique decor. We couldn't bathe in the jacuzzi for fear of a bear coming. My recommendation is that they should put it on the second floor since it's too close to the river and is open to the elements, with no outside boundaries. Another thing we didn't like is that the house didn't have coffee, oil, or seasonings. All the other cabins I've visited had them. You have to bring everything because there was only salt. The games are very good, and the house is spacious. But one of the rooms has no privacy; it's open, with no doors or anything. The place is nice and close to tourist attractions. Very cozy. They just need to improve a few details..

Review

Though no fault of property or manager, cabin wasn’t as close to attractions as I’d wanted. The cabin is very noisy (floors and doors squeak really bad. It’s hard to be quiet. 😬for planning purposes the only paper products provided are toilet paper and paper towels. Any other paper product to include coffee filters you need to bring. Otherwise great space.

Great spot for family meetup!

The cabin was nicer in person than in pictures! Nice vaulted space in the living room with comfy furniture. It had a good layout for our family - we only wish the pullout couch had been in the game room downstairs and not in the main floor living space. The kids ages 14 and 12 had a great time fishing and tubing in the creek. No fish were caught - but lots of crawfish! The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed for our nightly family dinners, and there was plenty of storage for the groceries we brought. Debbie and David were Very helpful and quick to respond to my questions.
