Absolutely perfect!
We stayed for two nights and it couldn’t have been better. The cabin is clean and better than pictured. I didn’t think that could be possible. Cades Cove is a very short scenic drive away. Gatlinburg/ Pigeon Forge is a manageable drive and I was grateful to be away from the noise. It truly is the peaceful side of the Smokies!! I’d definitely rent from them again if/when I’m back in the area. Communication was great with the renters and there was information on the area and activities provided. We literally couldn’t have asked for better.

Wonderful and clean cabin in great location!!
The cabin was well thought out and clean. For example, light switches were labeled which was so helpful. The location was convenient to accessesing all Townsend had to offer but also quiet. The hosts stayed in touch and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!! I would 100% recommend this cabin and already are planning on booking again to bring more family along!

Wedding trip
I was there for my daughter’s wedding, and there weren’t any closets to hang our dresses and suits except on main floor in foyer. There weren’t any dressers except one on the main floor. Overall the place is beautiful, but prepare to live out of your suitcase if you book a stay.

Lovely cabin decorated nicely
Enjoyed our stay very much. Will def stay again. 4.8 stars out of 5. Nitpicky items would be not enough toilet paper in both bathrooms and the sheets seem to be too large for the mattress downstairs making it an odd sleep. Very trivial and won’t deter us from staying there many times. Bragged on it to our Jeep group.

Peaceful Getaway
This was a great rental. It was exactly as advertised. We have stayed in Townsend often camping and in other cabin rentals but this was the nicest cabin. It was very clean and had everything we needed for a stress free trip.

Perfect location for a Great Smoky Mountain getaway
This property is in the perfect spot close to Great Smoky National Park, Cades Cove, Tuckaleechee Caverns, numerous riding stables, hiking trails and zip lining. After spending the day enjoying the mountains, come back to relax in the hot tub. We were in town for a wedding and glad that we had a couple extra days to enjoy the area. The 2 bedroom(plus loft) with 2 bathrooms was perfect for our family of 4. We had great communications from the host with detailed instructions that made our stay very easy and comfortable. We will definitely look to stay here again if we are ever in the area.
