This cabin was a treasure! Very quiet with a beautiful porch view of the mountains. It’s just minutes from the Tuckaleechee Caverns. Townsend is a fun town. The cabin is close to the park. We loved it!

We had a wonderful time staying at the cabin!! We were able to travel all around the area with ease and took in all that the area had to offer. We used the grill and fireplace and slept so well on the comfy beds! All communication with the property owner was great with the check-in and out process easy and clear. Thank you so much for everything!

This is our favorite cabin for the view, location and easy access without steep roads. It’s an easy commute to pigeon Forge, gatlinburg, and our favorite Cades cove. We hope to have the chance to bring our little family again next year.

What a peaceful, comfortable stay! We wanted to experience the Great Smokey Mountains National Park and not the tourist trap of nearby areas. Townsend and this cabin were perfect for what we were seeking. We were able to hike daily in the National Forest, visit the Townsend museums & visitor centers, go to Tuckaleechee Caverns (highly recommend), go to Maryville and visit the History Museum and Cades Cove museum, connect with people that are direct descendents of the history of the area. Although we are not golfers, someone told us about the views at Wild Laurel Golf Corse just minutes from the cabin, so, we went there to the tavern and soaked in the sunshine and the view. Don’t pass this cabin up if you are looking for a relaxing, peaceful vacation. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. When we come back to the Smokey’s, we will stay here again.

Great location, such a comfy place to stay. This is our second stay here and we rarely stay in the same place more than once. Sheryl is a very responsive host and her home is very clean and comfortable. Just book it, you won’t regret it.
