Public Remarks: Welcome to River Song Cottage, a charming Smoky Mountain cabin that feels like a peaceful escape the moment you arrive. Tucked into the sought-after Pittman Center area along Highway 416, this cozy retreat sits perfectly between Sevierville and Gatlinburg, offering easy access to the area's top attractions while still feeling quiet and tucked away in nature. Inside, the cabin offers an inviting open layout designed for comfort and connection. Thoughtful updates made between 2020 and 2025 give the home a fresh, well-cared-for feel, whether you're enjoying it as a second home or welcoming overnight guests. Updated lighting, comfortable living room furnishings—including a sleeper sofa—and even a foosball table create a relaxed, fun atmosphere that guests love. Both bedrooms and bathrooms have been refreshed with new flooring, fresh paint, upgraded fixtures, chair-height elongated toilets, enhanced ventilation, and deluxe king mattresses that make every stay feel like a true getaway. The result is a space that feels cozy, clean, and ready to enjoy from day one. Outdoor living is just as inviting. Spend your mornings on the deck in tall Adirondack chairs, gather around the picnic table, or unwind in the newer hot tub, thoughtfully supported by reinforced decking. Across the road, the property extends to the river, offering direct access for fishing, tubing, or simply soaking in the peaceful sounds of flowing water—a rare and special feature in the Smokies. Practical upgrades like gutter guards, a septic riser, improved front steps, and new HVAC air ducts help protect the home and add peace of mind. Most wall décor conveys, giving the cabin that warm, classic 'cabin in the Smokies' feel without needing to lift a finger. With convenient access off Highway 416 and a short drive to Dollywood, Gatlinburg, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, River Song Cottage is ideally located for both personal enjoyment and rental success. Currently used as a short-term rental and part of a rental program, this property offers flexibility, charm, and lifestyle—all wrapped into one special mountain retreat. As with all real estate transactions buyers and buyers agent should verify all information independently including HOA information and square footage. Square footage taken from appraisal and deemed reliable but should be verified by buyer and buyers agent. Buy title insurance. Equal housing opportunity.
