About this property

This unique cantilever home is a must stay! Has nice decks to enjoy the nature

This cantilever-barn type home does not disappoint! Enter the home from the downstairs to find one bedroom with a Queen size bed and another bedroom with two Twin size beds. There is a full bathroom downstairs as well. The master is upstairs and features a large Jacuzzi tub. Located outside on the deck is a welcoming hot tub, and the deck wraps around the upper level of the home. Picture yourself snuggling by the cozy gas fireplace while sipping hot chocolate and watching a movie on those cool mountain nights. We provide luxury towels and linens to let you know that we appreciate you and want you to feel special in every aspect of your visit to Hayloft. The cabin is located in Townsend and near the gated community of Laurel Valley, with access to an 18-hole golf course, pool, gym, clubhouse and just a short drive to Gatlinburg, Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, Foothills Parkway, or the Cades Cove entrance to Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Drive a little further and you will find Dollywood which is fun for adults and kids alike. There are swimming holes, hiking trails and biking trails for the experienced and not so experienced. While staying at this home, guests will have access to the Wild Laurel Fitness Center at NO charge, and access to the swimming pool for a small fee.

Fantastic Property/Location

This was a fabulous property, the home located at the top of the mountainside. The views in the evening were wonderful off the balcony. The inside of the home was spacious for multiple guests.

Had a great time!

Place was great overall, clean and cozy with all the amenities we needed. Had a bear visit us while in the hot tub, thankfully he wasn’t interested in joining and headed back up into the woods. We had a great stay!

Great stay

From communication with the property manager before our stay, to the check in and check out process, everything was excellent. The house is beautiful and it has been our favorite thus far. We have a group that goes to the Smoky Mountains for New Years every year and often during the warmer months and this has been our favorite stay

Woodland Rustic Charm

The cabin is secluded and surrounded by trees! Feel like you are in a tree house! The cabin is beautifully decorated. Kitchen very well stocked and beds comfortable! Family room and eating area very bright and open with comfy furniture and beautiful views from windows! We have stayed there twice and look forward to booking again sometime!

Will Stay Again

The process was phenomenal from when we booked the property until we checked out. The cabin was everything our family wanted....and more. Our kids were excited to see momma bear and her cubs along with all the other wildlife. We will for sure stay at this property again in the very near future.

Peaceful and relaxing cabin getaway

Within an hour or so after arriving, a mama and 2 cubs had a short visit down the drive. They stayed long enough for us to take a few pictures from the window, then they left peacefully. The cabin was clean and had enough room for everyone. The beds were comfortable and the hot tub felt amazing. Between everything mentioned before, the fireplace, and the view from the living room windows, made this cabin getaway everything we were hoping for! We can't wait to do it again!

Perfect cabin in perfect location

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hayloft. The cabin was equipped with everything we needed and more. The communication with the host was awesome and there were plenty of signs around with helpful information. The cabin has a warm welcoming feel and is wonderfully decorated. We enjoyed the hot tub nestled in the woods and playing games each evening after our adventures. The cabin is close enough to everything we wanted to do (Cades Cove/Abrams Falls, Dollywood, hike to Mt. Leconte) and near a grocery store and great restaurants (Trailhead Steak and Trout restaurant was excellent). It was a relaxing getaway in a quiet peaceful area and I don’t think we could have picked a better cabin with better hosts! Thank you!!!

Hideaway

This is primarily what the cabin is, it is tucked peacefully on a hillside. The picture made it look like there was a meadow right next to it. The meadow is down the steep lane to the right and we could barely see the bridge area that was depicted in the pictures. Also the pool is a 10 min drive from the cabin, we did visit the pool, everyone at the club was nice, it was raining so we didn't stay long. We did have a bear visit, I feel this was due to the trash left outside by the cabin next door. Overall we enjoyed our time, had all the amenities we needed and is very homey.

Love the Hayloft

I was very impressed with the Hayloft. The property was clean and it had everything I needed. The hot tube was very clean and the water didn't foam up. The fire burning fireplace was a nice feature as well. If your planning to spend time in the park, the property is ideally located. I plan to stay at again next fall.

Great Location, Super Enjoyable

The house and property are just as described. It had everything we needed for our stay. We were comfortable and loved the open floor plan with the great outdoors all around. We even got to see a Moma Bear and her cubs pass by - all from the comfort of the living room. We highly recommend booking this house for your Smokey Mountain getaway!

Was desopointed on the lack of green space. Like the views better when 5here are open spaces.

Not as clean as I'm use to. The blinds are very dusty, under beds very dirty. Beds are okay except twin beds. Very hard. We enjoyed the visit, found lots of fun things to do.

Favorite Cabin

Favorite cabin, so far. Lots of room. Everything was clean, tidy. Kitchen well equipped. Lots of great books to read, enjoy. The beds comfy. Only 2 of the 3 bedrooms utilized. Upstairs king and down stairs queen. Did not utilize the 3rd bedroom, twin room. I do recommend that the 3rd bedroom, twin beds bedspreads be updated with new mountain themed bedspreads. Appeal, you know. Did not watch tv, so do not know if the tv worked. Minor initial connection with the wifi, but was quickly addressed and remedied. Very pleased. Was a great vacation. Thank you. Hope to stay here again.. This cabin has a lovely spirit. Can feel it soon as you walk in the door. Thanks again for everything. Looking forward to next year, already!
