A beautiful lake is hidden away on the border of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park right off the Foothills Parkway, on top of a Tennessee Mountain. This private cottage gets you on the water and offers your own private dock on a quiet lake (free of noisy motorized watercraft), tucked into a cozy cove. For the adventurer, you are walking distance to a trailhead to backcountry hiking on world class hiking trails of the GSMNP. After kayaking and fishing in the water or exploring the wilderness, you can grill out in your private backyard, reflect with wine on the dock, or tell stories by the fire pit. The house can only accommodate up to two adults and two kids, with a queen bed, and two stackable twin beds, and a queen-size sleeper sofa. Full kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, heat/AC, elevated screened porch for fantastic lake views over breakfast, and a beautiful bifold glass door downstairs that opens directly to the private lake. To help you enjoy the gas-motor free lake, there is a Jon boat with electric trolling motor, kayaks (one two seater with one additional kid seat that can be added, and two kid kayaks for a total of 3 kayaks). There are games, books, and 3 Smart TVs for those times you choose to stay inside in front of the fire. The cottage sits on the Lake in the Sky and offers all of the modern conveniences needed to get away but stay connected. We ask that guests respect the community-mandated quiet time after 10 PM to ensure that all can enjoy the peaceful setting. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Work spaces - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Boat - Kayak - Water sports equipment - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 960 square feet ## Similar properties ![TV, fireplace, DVD player](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18900000/18893800/18893771/41e5acf5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### River Frontage ❄Hot Tub ❄Whirlpool bath ❄Studio for Two ❄Pet Friendly Townsend - Hot tub - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 9.4 Exceptional 67 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-14&endDate=2025-10-15&selected=18893771&PinnedHotelID=18893771&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76380000/76375600/76375573/e7ead804.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Little River Cabin - Riverfront, 1 mile from GSMNP - Romantic Getaway!
