Great Expectations comes with FREE seasonal swim privileges at the Wild Laurel Country Club and year round usage of the fitness center. This cabin has a somewhat steep road leading up to it which may require a 4 wheel drive vehicle in ice or snow. IMPORTANT: Out of respect for the holidays and our employees, we do NOT allow ANY check in or outs on Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day NO PETS ALLOWED OF ANY KIND, IN THIS CABIN. Check-In: CONTACTLESS CHECK-IN \*3pm - there is NO check-in office, you go straight to the cabin Check-Out: \*10am - Please follow our check out guidelines. Fireplaces: \*On During: October 1st - April 1st 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 require a 4 wheel drive under normal weather conditions but some do in inclement weather. \*TV & WiFi: We do have TV's and WiFi in most all 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. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - DVD player - Flat-screen TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In the mountains ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Unit size: 1,166 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/95000000/94870000/94869300/94869281/87788be9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### New Built cozy cabin Peaceful Side, Townsend, TN, Laurel Valley, no steep roads Townsend - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 13 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-23&endDate=2025-11-24&selected=94869281&PinnedHotelID=94869281&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34140000/34139800/34139742/w800h599x0y1-4f9408b5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Extremely clean cabin in a quiet setting with an outdoor fire pit.
