The property was just as listed, and the property manager was extremely responsive and helpful. We found the setting to be lovely and perfect for a quiet weekend getaway. The cabin was charming, and we especially loved the sun room overlooking the river. It was very peaceful and relaxing. The proximity to Cade's Cove, waterfalls and hiking trails was wonderful. We would love to visit again.

Everything we could want, just perfect!

My wife and I have been doing "getaways" since the kids got adult-ish. This beautiful Townsend cabin's location is the most picturesque, the shortest drive, near the coolest small town, and the cabin itself seems to have been assembled from our dreams! And then there's the hot tub! I don't want to talk about it too much, or else it might be harder to book next time!

The house was amazing and friendly. Very responsive you didn't have to wait long to get a response from them. Once arriving to the cabin it was dark porch lights came on through the motion lights. Open the cabin door it smelt great with very clean. We slept great. Woke up the next morning with a beautiful view of the river having a cup of coffee watching the squirrels play in the trees. This place is amazing It's cozy it's comfortable it's quiet.

About the host

Hosted by Kristina

Host profile image
Hi! I am from Minnesota. I love to design & decorate. I also love being mom to our 3 amazing kids.

My husband, Chris, is a retired Air Force Chaplain from Mississippi. He loves real estate & keeping us guessing-- "What could our next family adventure possibly be?!"

Although we have been stationed in every region of the country, "the smokies" have always remained a special place in our lives. When the opportunity arose to turn a long term rental into our very first vacation rental (Shell Mountain Cabin), we were thrilled and slightly terrified. Through the years, our business has grown. We have experienced tremendous challenges & tremendous blessings. God is faithful & we love what we do!

Whether you are planning a time of quiet rest--or a fun-packed vacation-- along with our A+ team of locals-- we want to help provide an unforgettable getaway for you. We hope you fall in love with the Smoky Mountains as much as we have.
