Pigeon Forge cottage rentals on the river, steps from the Old Mill

Downtown River Rentals is a family-run set of three vacation cottages at 133–145 Old Mill Avenue, right on the Little Pigeon River in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. You can walk to the Old Mill, the Pottery House Café, Patriot Park, and the trolley stop in a couple of minutes, and you're a five-minute drive from Dollywood and The Island. Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park are about fifteen minutes away.

Pick the cottage that fits your group: Cottage One (RiverView) is a two-bedroom house that sleeps eight with a fireplace and a private deck over the river; Cottage Two (River Efficiency) is a private studio for two; and Cottage Three is a two-bedroom cottage for up to six. Every stay includes free parking, fast Wi-Fi, and self check-in. See all three cottages, browse things to do nearby, or check availability and book direct — booking on our site skips the Airbnb service fee.

In the Heart of all the Excitement

Come and explore the historic Old Mill District while watching the mountains and enjoying our convenient location. Our three rentals are located close to the Old Mill Restaurant, Patriot Park, a 5 minute drive from Dollywood, and many shops and stores, the busiest Pigeon Forge intersection, and the main parkway that takes you straight into the mountains. See what's nearby.

"We really enjoyed staying here. The location is great- walkable to so many things in the Old Mill district, but you also felt a bit secluded with the trees, river, and fireplace. The cottage is great for small families. Dolly gave us duck food to go feed the geese, our son loved it. Overall tremendous value compared to some of the high priced places in the surrounding area."

"We loved the close proximity to Dollywood! Right off the parkway and right on the river! My grandson enjoyed walking to the bridge and watching people fish. He also loved walking to the candy shop!"
