About this property
Laurel Crest, secluded
Secluded, well kept cabin on steep gravel mountain road. Must have 4 wheel or all wheel drive to access.
Subaru's work great! Perfect for a weekend getaway. Enjoy the wooded peace and quiet or curl up with movies for entertainment/ Only 3 miles to groceries and shopping, 25 minutes to Pigeon Forge and 30 minutes to Gatlinburg. 5 minutes to the National Park Entrance for Cades Cove. Townsend has a nice bike path, restaurants and music. Tube the river, listen to music and just have fun!
The space
The cabin sits on 7 acres of a 100 acre mountain farm.
Guest access
It is a small cabin and you have the entire building.
Other things to note
Must have 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive for access. The driveway is steep and gravel. We ask that no two wheel drive cars access because they will spin and rut the road.

About the area
Townsend
Located in Townsend, this cabin is in a rural area and near theme parks. While the natural beauty of Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Cades Cove can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can explore Ober Mountain.
Tube Junction and River Rage Go-Kart Track are also worth visiting. Make sure you get close to the area's animals with activities such as game walks and birdwatching.

About the host

What makes this property unique
Townsend is known as the “Quiet Side of the Smokies,” offering a much more serene experience compared to Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge. Cabin is just minutes from national park entrances and popular trails like Cades Cove, Laurel Falls, and Abrams Falls. Private retreat—ideal for romantic getaways, small family vacations, or quiet solo escapes.
