Derek covered all the details of the cabin and surrounding areas such as restaurants and shopping. I'd prefer a warmer temp in the hot tub, but it was very clean and fresh. Well equipped kitchen was a plus.
The cabin was beautiful, cozy and clean. We loved the updated kitchen. The bed was comfy, and big, fluffy bath towels are provided. We enjoyed the large deck and hot tub and inside playing a few throwback arcade games, and watching movies on the couch. The host is very communicative and we truly enjoyed our time. Definitely recommend!
We booked this cabin for our anniversary trip. Very clean upon arrival. Derek was great with instructions and help with any issues. We had a great stay and will go back to that cabin again for sure!
Very clean. Close to town but not “ in” town. Groceries, etc. readily accessible. Recommend the ribs at JimBob’s restaurant. Host communicates as needed and is very helpful. Hot tub is great and private. Felt comfortable in the area. Only a few minutes to entrance to the National park. Looking forward to returning.
I stayed the week here with my husband. It was super clean and one of the most peaceful places we’ve stayed in Townsend. No noise whatsoever. We loved the picnic table on the front porch. Thank you for a great experience.
Beautiful cabin and wonderful communication with Derek! It was our honeymoon and we were able to bring our fur baby and relax but still close enough to get a breakfast from our favorite restaurants in Gatlinburg.
Great cabin for an outdoorsy weekend of hiking, biking, BBQ, and seclusion
