Description Description
Barefoot by the River, a one-bedroom cabin in Pigeon Forge, is the perfect place to relax and enjoy nature, with stunning views of the Little Pigeon River and surrounding forest, and conveniently located near town attractions.

Living Room

When you step inside Barefoot by the River, you will be delighted by the rustic feel, yet rest assured knowing you have every modern convenience. The open floor-plan is designed to keep conversations flowing. A flat-screen TV hangs nearby to entertain you. A wide stone fireplace stands ready to warm you. Comfortable seating abounds, and a ceiling fan spins lazily overhead to keep the room at the perfect temperature.

Kitchen and Dining

The fully-appointed kitchen is ready to provide for your every culinary need. Stock the fridge with your favorite beverages, cook gourmet delights, and perhaps have a candlelit picnic by the river!

Dining is easy here at Barefoot by the River. Simply pull up one of the convenient barstools and eat kitchen-side at the counter. Lay out a sumptuous feast and dine in style!  We have a corkscrew ready for you...just bring the wine, pop the cork, and toast to a fantastic vacation!

Bedroom

Barefoot by the River will pamper you at night. Enveloped by honeyed-oak planking, the King bed is large and comfortable. Open a window to fall asleep to the bubbling river, or listen to the birds in the trees when you awake. There is a flat-screen television for your viewing pleasure.

Nearby, there is a full bath with a shower, vanity, and a heart-shaped jetted tub. How romantic! Light a couple of candles, start your favorite playlist...this is bliss!

Outdoor Spaces

Words cannot describe the outdoor experience here at Barefoot by the River. Enjoy your morning coffee in a rocking chair on the full covered deck while you listen to the water and watch for local wildlife...deer, wild turkeys, owls, and the occasional black bear!

In the warmer weather, bring bathing suits and fishing poles. Or bring a kayak and glide down the clear water which flows directly from the National Park. Grab the love of your life and book this cottage today for a vacation you’ll never forget!

Barefoot by the River is a little slice of Heaven
This is our second stay with Colonial Properties at Barefoot by the River and it has been exceptional both times! Check-in and out was effortless and the cabin was spotless. We love how close it is to so many attractions, but we also love just relaxing on the deck and watching the river flow by. So relaxing! We will definitely be back!

Our Smokey Mountain stay at Barefoot By The River
Great stay at Barefoot! It was very well maintained, very clean with all the things we needed. Going thru and Coming out of COVID we have been extremely cautious everywhere we’ve stayed but this place was top notch; The call ahead from the leasing agency with instructions and checking on us we’re a welcome surprise. The grounds were well maintained! Loved the porch and sound of the water in the back. Definitely would recommend and stay again! Thank you!

Rest and Relation
My husband and I had a wonderful time! First vacation we had in over 10yrs without our kids. We loved that it was peaceful and quiet. The cabin was nice and very clean. The fact that Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge was close to the cabin in either direction is a very big plus! Definitely will be coming back!

Riverside Dream ...
A wonderful private getaway that provides the true sound of nature (river). If this place ever went up for sale I’d buy it in a heartbeat !

We really enjoyed the pool table, hot tub and the fact that it’s right on the river. There were a pair of geese that obviously lived in the back and had a precious nest of eggs. We did not use the appliances but they did look functional. The washer and dryer listed on the site was a mistake but they were quick to fix the mixup. The cabin is on the lower end of the mountain which was perfect for quick travel to the restaurants and attractions. Such a fun and quaint retreat for a couple! Would definitely come back!

River memories
My wife & myself had the most enjoyable vacation & this cabin was everything we were looking for , seclusion & roomy land , rushing river was the only noise ! Over 15 years of cabin vacationing in the Smoky mountain area this was our favorite ! 15-20 minutes from either city but nice country setting! Minutes from the Ramsey Cascades hike . Awesome cabin for 2 -4 people .

We loved the cabin, we’ll definitely try to get back in the future. The cabin is awesome, with lots of river frontage. The valley it’s located in is very scenic, with lots of elbow room between you and your nearest neighbor. We had a great time!

We fell in love with this cabin! It was everything we were looking for in our stay. It is secluded, located right on the Little Pigeon River, and surrounded by beautiful landscapes and wildlife. Each morning from the front porch, we watched a doe and her fawn play and each evening we watched the fire flies light up the dark sky. It was such a peaceful and relaxing getaway! The cabin was extremely clean and very well cared for. It was fully furnished and very comfortable. I highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a peaceful, secluded getaway.

Beautiful little cabin for two. Nice clean cabin with a lot to offer. One of my favorite things to do was have my coffee near the river every morning. The view of the night sky was breathtaking. We will be back for sure!

The folks at Colonial were first class . The cabin was exceptional and the River and hills were spectacular. My wife and I really needed to decompress. This was the perfect prescription. We will certainly be. Repeat customer.
