The cabin was great! It was just perfect for the two of us and our little dog! It was very clean and we had no issues. The location was perfect for getting into town day or night!
We stayed here in October during the fall colors, they were amazing. We travel with our 2 dogs and this space was very accommodating. A cute cabin in the woods with everything you need for your stay. It was close to town and to Cades Cove. Easy access to Gatlinburg if you choose the busyness of the town. The hot tub was relaxing after a day of hiking. Beds were comfortable. We would stay here again.
We had a wonderful time at this property. The cabin was exactly as advertised and a great quiet setting with access to the Smokys in a great small town.
We enjoyed our stay! Great location! Cabin layout was perfect and enjoyable.

Thank you so much for staying in our cabin, Beth! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that the location and cabin layout were perfect for you. We hope to welcome you back soon for another great experience!
The cabin was appropriately prepared. Love the electric fireplace though there is something to be said about the smell of real wood burning. Plenty of kitchen utensils and supplies. Hot tub was heated when we arrived. Video games were great, reminding me why I spent so many quarters on them when I was young. Wasn’t happy about stairs to loft, very steep and narrow. Two suggestions: 1) Get a new couch that is larger along with adding a chair. There is enough room. 2) Add a fire pit to front yard. It will fit.
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.
We LOVED staying in Townsend! The restaurants were phenomenal and we loved being on the more peaceful side of town. The cabin was super clean and the host was great with communication. Highly recommend!
We made a last minute trip to Townsend to get away. Great location, clean and well stocked cabin. Exactly what we needed. Love that we could bring our little dog.
Wonderful property!! Very comfy bed. We really enjoyed our time here. Very clean and comfortable.
