Beautiful, quiet property

We loved our stay here and would love to stay again. Communication with Christine was seamless and the house was well stocked with everything we needed. There is a small IGA in town but we didn't need to go since we carried a lot in. The view was very nice and it was fun to watch the fog dissipate in the morning. Hiking at GSMNP was close and we especially enjoyed Middle Prong trail. Thank you for a wonderful get-away!

Gorgeous getaway

The steep drive up to the house yields an amazing view of the Smokies. The cabin itself is gorgeous, wood throughout. Plenty of amenities. Casual walks need to happen in the nearby, peaceful town of Townsend as the drive really is steep. But the times we did walk were rewarded with conversations with friendly neighbors. Sweet little community.

Beautiful home and view

We loved our stay in this beautiful cabin. Our family injoyed spend a few days in the mountains. Next time we would like to stay longer. Amazing view and very private. Very close to everything we wanted to see and do. Close to grocery stores and local restaurants. The cabin sits on top of the mountain and the road is narrow and steep. Definitely recommend arriving before dark to drive up to the cabin. We definitely recommend this cabin to future vacationers and would love to come back again.

We had a really great time.

This is our second stay at this cabin. We had a great time. If I had anything to say the cabin just wasn’t as clean as the previous visit. Rags and cleaning supplies left out on the pool table, lots of dust and cobwebs. The lighting was dim due to burnt out bulbs. Overall we had a great time, the communication was outstanding, and we will more than likely be back again.

High End Glamping

Unique and beautiful home. I was mostly prepared with the food we needed. Knowing what I know now, I would've packed soaps, shampoo, and laundry soap. It is only a couple miles to town, but it's not a fast trip because of the drive off the mountain. Plenty of nice places to eat. I loved Townsend - it's not a Gatlinburg. If Gatlinburg is your thing, it's not that far away. Townsend gets you out of the hustle and bustle, yet there is lots to do. Would I want to stay again - Yes.

Beautiful and secluded, away from the hustle and bustle of Gatlinburg and only a 5 minute roll down the hill to all that Townsend has to offer (which is a lot and easily accessible, even during a busy October weekend). Overall, a great base camp for exploring the park and area.Amazing views of the smokies. We saw a black bear and bobcat cross the yard during our stay!

Loved the cabin! The location on private acreage so nice. Good view. Enjoyed sitting on the back screened in porch smelling the mimosa blooms, listening to the Chuck wills widow night birds. Memorable vacation! We even saw a big shiny black bear in the driveway when heading out to the cove. Awesome!

Is this what heaven is like? Such an amazing home and we were thankful to stay there! No detail was spared! Single lane road that you must scale using low gear, but once there? No less than wonderful! We had a bit of trouble with the front door, but Christine responded very quickly with help! Thanks for everything! We loved our stay!
