This is a very nice cabin that is located in a quiet spot that does not have lots of other cabins around it. I definitely would go back.

Our biggest regret is that we couldn’t stay longer. We’ve stayed at several cabins throughout the years and this is the best so far. It’s a nice size and we had a great time

Nice little cabin in the woods, clean and ready with everything you need for your vacation. We only really stayed here to sleep, because we were exploring the area in and around the Smoky Mountains. My only concern was that we stayed in the downstairs bedroom and all the sounds from upstairs could be heard. The host Jeremy was very responsive and overall it was a very pleasant experience. Thank you.

Very nice cabin. Location was great. However, maintenance doesn’t appear to be done on a timely manner. Light bulbs burnt out, 1 burner on the stove doesn’t work, knives need replaced, yard needed mowed.

We stayed over the Easter holiday/spring break. The house was clean and accommodated our family. The kitchen was well equipped and we ate many meals around the table. The grill was spotless and we cooked sausage and then s' mores! The washer and dryer came in very handy. The home was located between our family who lives in Maryville and the Gatlinburg area. This made it very easy to visit as well as find lots to do. The owners provided us with information about local hikes and shopping. Very nice stay! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Very nice cabin, but noise traveled throughout the entire cabin very easily. Water pressure was great. Needed more toliet paper and better quality kitchen items. Oven/stove was wonky and dryer seemed to b on the fritz. Road into cabin was unsure of if people would be coming or not.

We were traveling to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park with our elementary age daughters and my parents. This cabin was convenient for our needs. Hot water, firm mattresses with plenty of clean linens. Wi-Fi was great and smart TV's were easy to use. Kitchen was adequate, though the light cooking we did in oven and on stovetop revealed a quirky appliance. Pots and pans, baking sheets, cooking utensils, dishes for all six of us. Not a spice, oil or dry good at all. We did find room for improvement on the overall maintenance - toilets not cleaned, lightbulbs missing or flickering all weekend. The loft bedroom worked for us, but be aware that it has no door or storage. Parking was a squeeze for two vehicles without obstructing the mountain road. Watch the video, this was very helpful to feel confident approaching the property.

My family and I loved staying in this beautiful cabin and hope to come back in the future! The cabin was clean and cozy. Check-in and out went very smoothly. Townsend is called the Peaceful Side of the Smokies for good reason. My family and I definitely preferred having a calm retreat at the end of the day, instead of the bustle of Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. Jeremy (the owner) was quick to respond to any request or question. He and his father went above and beyond to clear off trees that had fallen across the road during a pretty incredible wind storm. I highly recommend!

The leaves were changing and were beautiful. Property is secluded on a hill in Townsend. Trees are beautiful. Wildlife is great. The property fits in with its location.

We had a great time. Good location. Clean cabin. My kids saw deer from the back deck. Sleeping arrangements were fine for my wife and I and three kids. Only complaint is that the floors were super thin, so you could hear every step someone makes upstairs. We have little kids so we put them down early. So they weren’t walking around while we were trying to sleep, so it wasn’t a big deal for us. We had so much fun in the smokies!

Very nice cabin with all the amenities. One guest uses a walker and it was wonderful because the porch and lower level had no steps! Hard to find in a cabin. Cooked some meals in the good kitchen. Has dishwasher, that’s a must for me. Big dining area and huge living room. Comfy. Has fireplace too. Cabin was neat and clean. Oh, and plenty of towels!

Stayed here with our grandchildren. It was a great area and not too crowded. We spent days at Smoky Mountain National Park and the cabin had easy access. Nice, with bedroom and loft upstairs for the kids and we could have our own bedroom downstairs.
