My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this cabin. There were other cabins nearby, but it felt private. Convenient location to Townsend and Cades Cove. Comfortable front porch with rocking chairs. We did not use the hot tub. Nice laundry facility within a short walking distance, but we did not use the machines. Bed was very comfortable.

Lovely and cozy cabin. About as close as you can get to the Smoky Mountain National Park. Convenient to Townsend and only 30 minutes (or less) to Cades Cove, making it a great spot to stay if you want to go bike the cove on vehicle-free Wednesdays (which is what we did). Beds are comfortable. Hot tub was clean and easy to operate. It's a small space, but true to the listing. The separate laundry is a bit of a hassle, but the listing is clear on this point so no stars detracted. The grill is the type you might find at a park with no cover. Serviceable, but plan to use a LOT of charcoal and not ideal for foods that need to be covered. Lovely stay. We'd be happy to stay here again.
