We loved this place on the river. Yes, you can hear the traffic from the main road but it won’t stop us from coming back. Great location. We look forward to staying again.
We had a great time! There was an animal in the ceiling above the bed the first night making noise but it subsided after Thursday night.
The cabin location was great there on the river and it was very peaceful. Everything was clean and organized. It was a very good stay!

Beautiful scenery
Loved the otter house. Just wish the couch was more comfy and the tv was so so small. For older people really made it hard to see. The Highway beside the creek was loud for being outside. The cabin it’s self it’s very cute an clean.
We really enjoyed our stay. It was super clean, the hot tub was ready, kitchen well stocked and just a nice little cozy log cabin right on the river. Only problem with the whole thing was the main road is just right over the river so there was a lot of traffic noise all hours. If you're a light sleeper like me, bring ear plugs. It wasn't awful nor would it stop us from renting this place again as it was private and we really enjoyed the deck and looking at the river. I still give it 5 stars even thought there was a lot of road noise. Its also close to Townsend so there"s plenty of places to eat and also close to the national park. It was truly great!
One-room cabin as accurately described in the listing. We had all we needed for a week-long stay. The location felt reasonably private, tucked away from the bulk of the RV resort guests. It was fun to watch the fish, turtles and snakes cruise by in the creek.
Communication with property manager was responsive, friendly and helpful for the few questions we had.
Pros and cons of staying at the Otter House:
There is some wear and tear as a rental, of course. Some updates should be considered for a better first impression. The kitchen and bath seemed clean and well stocked with towels. Bedding was freshly laundered. Stovetop and microwave worked just fine, fridge was a compact and we didn't use the oven.
Wi-fi was reliable for the first two days, then continually dropped for the rest of our stay. Depended on phone's hotspot (G5) to use the laptop. Didn't watch much TV, but Dish was available.
The spa on the deck was a great option, we used it a few times over the course of the stay. The pump/heater will switch on and off throughout the night to maintain water temp, and it took a few nights of waking up to adapt to hearing it.
The traffic noise from nearby Hwy. 321 (Lamar Alexander Pkwy.) was somewhat unexpected. If a potential visitor is looking at this location on the map (as we did), yes, it is literally just on the other side of the river and a busy road during the day. We didn't spend a lot of time at the cabin during daylight hours, so it didn't impact us too much.
Definitely was good value and very nice cabin. I would stay here again.
