3 generations in the Smokies

This is our second time staying in this cabin and we hope to return as long as our family fits! It’s so comfortable and well stocked. This is our favorite quiet area of the Smokies. We especially love the new porch and the new appliances are great. The furniture is clean and comfortable. The grandkids enjoyed the games and books and asked to return before we pulled out of the driveway.

Wonderful cabin, excellent location

Such a comfortable cabin for our 3 generation group. The location is in our favorite area of the Smokies. We were easily in and out of the park for 3 days and even a morning at the aquarium in Gatlinburg. Doug was very helpful and suggested a really great hike that we had not yet tried. Unanimous vote from the group for staying here again.

We Will Be Back!

My husband and I stayed with our daughter, her husband, and their four children. There was plenty of space, the cabin was well-equipped and organized, and it was very clean. The porch was a favorite gathering spot for our families, and the view was amazing. The cabin is centrally located and near Dollywood, Gatlinburg, and Cade's Cove. Elvira's Restaurant (right down the road) is a must for breakfast. Doug responded to requests in a timely manner. We hope to return in the fall!

Wonderful extended weekend for our family!

This property worked well for us and our three young adult children and spouses while in Townsend for a nieces wedding. Doug was quick to respond to any questions. It's a really nice property and we enjoyed Townsend!

About the host

Hosted by Doug Holt

We are new hosts and just went live with VRBO as of May, 2020!!
I grew up in East Tennessee and Shannon is from Hugo, Oklahoma. We live in Nashville, Tennessee and have four kids (five) ages 23, 21, and twin 10 year olds, plus Smoky, our 5 year old beagle. We bought this property in February of 2018, and it has been our dream to own a cabin in the mountains! We enjoy hiking, scuba diving, and boating. We love the many hiking trails that’s just a short drive from the cabin and are constantly checking each one off our list but have many more to go. This place is very special to us and we hope you find it special too!

Why they chose this property

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited national park in the United States. The Park has more than 800 square miles of hiking trails across North Carolina and Tennessee. We are in Townsend, Tennessee, the quiet side of the Smokies. Townsend has some fantastic yet quaint restaurants and shops, a grocery store, as well as an outdoor center that has bikes, paddle boards, rafting, and outdoor gear. We are just minutes from Dollywood Theme Park and the many shops and eateries of Pigeon Forge. If your looking for putt putt golf, go carts, or abundant shopping, Pigeon Forge has it all! If you like something a little quieter, the 20 mile drive along the Little River to Gatlinburg contains some of the most spectacular scenery in the southeastern United States. A short 13 mile drive is Cades Cove, the single most popular destination in The Park. Popular for its scenic mountain views, preserved homesteads of Appalachian life, and abundant display of wildlife. Looking due south off the deck are breathtaking views of the 5,527 foot peak of Thunderhead Mountain which marks the border of Tennessee and North Carolina. Along its summit is the iconic Appalachian Trail, one of the many hiking trails easily accessible from the cabin. We are centrally and conveniently located to all The Great Smoky Mountains have to offer!

What makes this property unique

The view here truly is breathtaking! Our elevation is 1,742’ so you can sit on the deck or porch swing and take in the incredible scenery while only minutes from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.
