Wonderful atmosphere!

This place could best be decided as high end modern industrial with lots of wood (which I love) meets Martha Stewart. I especially loved the beds and the bedding, and it was THE most dog friendly place I’ve stayed at ever. I would definitely stay here again. I would love to buy the place!

Townsend private cabin visit

Beautiful hill top location off Wears Road, with 2 separate balconies looking out over tree laden vista. Well kept property with modern attractive kitchen ( but no garbage disposal) , 3 bedrooms on separate floors, all with bathrooms, and large open family/ dining area. Pleasant, helpful interaction with owners, and smooth entry on arrival.

Great Cabin!

The cabin is beautiful! The view from the back deck is amazing! The cabin was close to Wears Valley Road but still high enough in the mountains to get a great view of the Smokies. The road to the cabin is narrow and a little tricky, but not too difficult to drive. Two of the bedrooms did not have TV in them, but we really didn’t even notice once we saw that amazing view! There are lots of squirrels and chipmunks in the yard. The owners of the cabin were so nice and the check in and check out process was easy. We would definitely stay here again.

Family Gathering

The property was great and plenty of space. I loved the view and spent as much time as I could taking it in with my coffee. The property is in a great location to go either direction to all of the possibilities around. You will see near :-) Kitchen is well stocked. Laundry room is nice to wash up and pack up to go home. I was able to visit my past with my Pac-Man skills and my husband enjoyed beating me on the pool table.

Best New Years trip ever

Our New Year would not have been perfect had it not been for this amazing diamond we found. We were so tired of the crowds in Gatlinburg so we went to another area. We were a bit worried we would be far from it all, but no way a beautiful ride well worth the trip. Jeff the owner has been communicating since we rented several months ago, once we got there we had constant communication from him and Steve project manager. The house is not huge but 9 of us slept super comfortably with our two 4 legged girls who enjoyed the comfort of the house. Jeff, we are looking forward to booking again with you thanks for your hospitality and for renting us your gorgeous home God bless your family

Spring Break Tennessee Adventure

My family and myself had an amazing time spending our week within Wears Valley. The cabin was everything and more. The location was perfect for sight seeing, short day trips to cities around the area, and nature walks. The cabin's amenities, location, and owners were perfect. Communication with owners was friendly and helpful at all times, wonderful people. Would definitely rent from again. Thank you so much for the use of your home so that we could have such a memorable vacation.

Most Awesome Place in the Mountains

Our family of 8 (including our pup) stayed at this awesome 3 level cabin on a mountain in Wears Valley. The view was beautiful with mountains in the distance. The renters were extremely responsive and check-in was a breeze. This cabin is about 5 minutes from Wears Valley, 10 minutes from Townsend, 12 minutes from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, 25 minutes from Pigeon Forge and 35 minutes from Gatlinburg (all approximate times). Places to eat, buy groceries, shop, sight see, and entertainment all very nearby. The cabin was perfect with gorgeous views from either porch. Although there are other cabins on the mountain, there is a great deal of privacy with no other cabins next to it. I would definitely choose this cabin again! We absolutely loved our stay!

Perfect vacation spot in the smokies

We booked the property last minute for July 4th vacation for a family of 8. Cabin was spacious with three levels and had all the amenities for a relaxing vacation and spend quality time with family. Location is far enough for some peace and quiet but close enough to townsend for activities, shopping. We went tubing on the little river which was 5 minute drive and spend full day with day pass from river rat company. Amazing hosts with prompt communication. They were kind of enough to get us a parking tag for the national park saving us time and a nice gesture to enjoy the park. Thank you Jeff & Mimi. We love to come back again.

First total family getaway.

The property was absolutely wonderful, the view from sitting on the deck was barring, none, the best that I had seen while being out there for five days. The home itself was very nice and fit our needs well, stocked well, which surprised us because we brought a lot of stuff, but then left some stuff. The beds for sleeping I was in the master bedroom mattress I have ever slept on. As well as my sleep, it was fantastic. I do not sleep like that at home and I’ve never slept like that anywhere else. We had a wonderful time. unfortunately it was spring break and a little too busy for us so we would like to try again another time soon. We do.
