Common Concerns: *Road Conditions: Some of our cabins are on steep, narrow, curvy, mountain roads. If you are concerned about road conditions to get to a cabin, please feel free to ask us! None of our cabins requires a 4-wheel drive under normal weather conditions, but some do in inclement weather. *TV & WiFi: We do have TVs and WiFi in most of our cabins. There are times when heavy cloud cover, weather systems, mountains, or trees will cause problems with the signals. We always want our guests to have the comforts they want on vacation, but there are times we cannot control this problem. *Pests & Wildlife: Here in the Smoky Mountains, we have lots of native bugs and wildlife. All of our cabins are treated for pests, but there are times you will find bugs or even have trouble with bugs. Fall/Winter is ladybug season in the Smokies, and these little buggers are attracted to heat, meaning your cabin and every other one out there that is warm! They will swarm to the cabin, and you'll probably see them alive/dead on windowsills, in vents, etc. Rest assured that your cabin has regular pest control and is professionally cleaned, including bug removal, before and after your stay. However, these bugs come back right away, and unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done about them until the season passes. Please never feed, taunt, or approach any wildlife. This is their home, and we are the visitors. *There are no refunds for storms or power outages. If there is a power outage, there will be no water and potentially no heat. Storms can also make roads impassable, so if a storm is in the forecast during your reservation, come prepared with water and non-perishable food, etc.
FEES: The management company of this cabin charges a $20 per stay Damage Waiver Fee to every customer. It is automatically included in your rate. This covers our guests for up to $350 worth of accidental damage should damage occur during their stay. If damage occurs to the cabin, furnishings, etc, please report it to management as soon as possible so that the damage can be repaired. You may opt out of paying the $20 damage waiver fee by putting down a $350 REFUNDABLE damage deposit.
✨ Peace of Mind & Travel Insurance: I want your stay to be stress-free and enjoyable. Please note that this home has a strict cancellation policy. Because life can be unpredictable, we encourage all guests to purchase travel insurance for extra peace of mind. This way, you can book with confidence knowing you’re protected no matter what comes up. This can be done at www.insuremytrip.com where you can pick the coverage that suits your situation.

Nestled in Townsend, this is a beautiful cabin for large or multi families. Very clean, spacious rooms. Gathering rooms both upstairs and downstairs - and the deck offers some beautiful views. We would definitely stay here again!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found the cabin spacious, clean, and perfect for your group. It's great to know that the gathering spaces and views from the deck made your time even more special. We'd be honored to host you again anytime you're back in Townsend!
This house has everything you could want for a winter getaway: fully stocked kitchen, soaking tub, wood burning fireplace and an amazing view. Watching the snow fall made it even better! Easy to work with, particularly with the weather.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're so glad to hear that the house provided everything you needed for a perfect winter getaway. There's something magical about watching the snow fall while cozying up by the fireplace, and we're thrilled you got to experience that. It was a pleasure working with you, and we're glad the weather cooperated for your stay. We hope to welcome you back for another relaxing retreat in the future!
This cabin was very spacious. Has essentially 3 floors with the loft area. Tastefully decorated with 3 bedrooms and the loft as well as 2.5 bathrooms it had enough room for us to spread out but still meet in main area to spend time together as a family. Beautiful home and view.
Everything was amazing! Very well stocked. Fireplaces were very nice with lots of firewood. Plenty of room and everything was clean. Love the balconies. Already planning our next trip back at Serendipity!

Can't wait to return
This place was close to perfection, starting with the view. The cozy decor, down to the bedding, was fabulous. Everyone had room to be alone, and plenty of space to be together as well. Inside and outside were equally comfortable. Close to the Smokys for hiking and Maryville for shopping. I dread the day our family outgrows it.

Thank you for your kind words! We are so happy that you enjoyed Serendipity. We do work hard to make it family friendly and love that our guests are making memories to last a lifetime!!
4 senior aged women friends enjoyed a relaxing weekend at this cabin. Everything was as pictured and met and exceeded our expectations. We will be booking again.
Fantastic property. Nice, quiet area but still convenient to everything to do in Pigeon Forge / Gatlinburg. Kitchen was well stocked with above average cookware and small appliances. Cabin was clean and had ample towels and such. It was also spacious; could easily accommodate 10 people comfortably. Will definitely consider staying at this property in the future, if we ever financially recover from our day trip to Ober Gatlinburg.
Our directions and instructions were clear and easy to follow. We had no problems and did not need to call managers. The house was clean, well maintained and well supplied. House was found to be just as described.
We had a wonderful time celebrating Bronco Super Celebration and this home gave us the perfect place to gather with friends after a day on the field with all the vehicles. We were able to gather, relax, grill and enjoy the beautiful seating of the mountains in the background! Definitely want to return next year!!!
A group of 7 spent New Years Weekend we were all very pleased with the cabin. The location, the view, the cleanliness everything was great. It snowed the last night there and the view was breath taking. I highly reccomend it.
This place was amazing! We had plenty of room for my whole family. The kitchen has anything you to prepare a meal. The beds was very comfortable also. The views was absolutely breath taking!
The property is described accurately. This kitchen is stocked better than most. It is very comfotable for 8 people.
We sisters have been getting together once a year for the past 26 years and this is our favorite location.
We all enjoyed this home away from home!! It had everything we needed and we had plenty of room. The decks offer gorgeous views!! We had a wonderful time!

Nice location.
This is a nice sized cabin for large groups. The view was awesome! Needs some updates as the living room furniture and rug is pretty worn and icky. But the beds were clean and comfortable.
This was a great place to stay. We came into town for spring break to see our daughter who goes to UT and didn’t get a break. The cabin was great. The views were beautiful, the area was nice an quite. It had easy to the Smokey Mountains as well as into Knoxville area. I would recommend
Beautiful property, with a great location. Check in was convenient and the property was nicely furnished. Thank you for sharing this beautiful mountain view with us.
