Private Riverfront Cabin with Rare Swimming Hole – Minutes to Greenbrier GSMNP

Welcome to River Rest Cabin, a rare riverfront cabin on the Little Pigeon River in the Great Smoky Mountains—where the river isn’t just something you admire from the porch, it’s where your vacation begins.

Set on two private acres, on the edge of Pittman Center and Sevierville, River Rest Cabin is one of the few level riverfront properties in the Smokies, offering a sprawling lawn, walk-in river access, and a private swimming hole where families can swim, fish, tube, kayak, skip rocks, or simply relax by the water. Unlike many Smoky Mountain cabins perched high above the river, you’ll enjoy easy access to the shoreline and room to spread out, play, and reconnect with nature.

Whether you’re planning a family vacation, a romantic getaway, or a peaceful retreat, River Rest Cabin offers the rare combination of privacy, year-round accessibility, and unforgettable outdoor living— convenient to Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, Dollywood, and the Greenbrier Entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Live on River Time

Morning begins with coffee on the deck as mist rises from the Little Pigeon River.

Spend the afternoon tubing, kayaking, fishing for Rainbow Trout, exploring the riverbank, or cooling off in your private swimming hole. Children can run and play across the expansive lawn while adults relax by the river.

As evening settles in, gather around the fire pit, roast marshmallows beneath the string lights, and watch the stars appear overhead while the river provides the soundtrack.

These are the moments guests remember long after vacation ends.
