The cabin was awesome but the host is the absolute best!!We had everything we needed to cook our meals and the kitchen had so much room. All the decor is beautiful…but my fave was all the quilts.

A family emergency kept our kids from joining us in Townsend, but my wife and I loved this place! Beautiful home and beautifully decorated. Townsend is a great little town. Owners/hosts are very helpful and gracious. I can recommend a stay here to anyone!

This is our third visit to Cedar Creek Manor and we always enjoy it. Very accommodating and perfect for our family group. The hosts are always gracious and attune to our every need. The pictures can’t do it justice as the views are ever-changing and spectacular as the sun hits the mountains from different angles. A little visit to heaven each time we come! Townsend has great eating establishments and an excellent supermarket, so we have no problem staying well-fed. The hiking is just the best, so many trails nearby from which to choose. Thans again!

Location is perfect - close to the National Park entrance or a short drive to Pigeon Forge. The kids love playing in the huge gentle sloping yard. The cabin has everything we need and lots of space for our family gathering of 10. We love the amazing mountain view from the porch swing! We come back every year!

Awesome house for all ages! My family and I stayed here for a long weekend for a wedding that was in town and it was perfect for the occasion. We had six adults and 5 kids aged 4 and under. Loved that there were safety/baby gates for the stairs and plenty of toys and games for all. Stunning views from the front deck!

And yes — those mountain views from the front deck truly are something special! We're glad you enjoyed them too.
We’d love to welcome you and your family back the next time you’re in the Smokies.
Safe travels and best wishes to the newlyweds! 💕

Why they chose this property
Great smoky Mountain location.
What makes this property unique
The view from the deck is unsurpassed in the area and the deck is the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee or glass of wine. Having lived in Florida so long, we really enjoy that we can enjoy all 4 seasons at the cabin. Townsend is on the "quiet side" of the mountain yet close enough to Knoxville, Gatlinburg, and Pigeon Forge to enjoy the "touristy" stuff and then come back to the cabin for relaxation and family time.
