Stunningly positioned in Townsend - on the 'Peaceful Side of the Smokies' - this cabin will charm you with its inviting rustic atmosphere and sweeping views of the surrounding mountains. Your new home away from home has a lovely deck that sits among the treetops, and a wood-burning fireplace to toast your toes as you relax and unwind on chilly mountain evenings.

While Townsend is only a short drive from bustling Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, you’ll find delightful activities without ever leaving town. Visit the Tuckaleechee Caverns or the Smoky Mountain Heritage Museum, or spend a day hiking and fishing in the gorgeous expanse of Great Smoky Mountains National Park (five miles east). Also close by is Maryville (15 miles west), where there are plenty of shops, restaurants, and historic attractions like Fort Craig Spring. Just a short 20-mile drive to the east is Pigeon Forge, which offers all sorts of family-friendly attractions, from the iconic Dollywood to WonderWorks.

With your reservation, enjoy one FREE Ticket to each of these attractions: Paula Dean's Lumberjack Dinner Show, Wonderworks, Smoky Mountain Observation Wheel, NASCAR Speedpark, Rocky Top Mountain Coaster and Skyland Ranch, Alcatraz East Crime Museum, Fox Fire Adventure Park, and County Tonight (a $305.00 Value) as well as Exclusive Discounted Tickets to Anakeesta, Hatfield & McCoy, Dolly's Stampede, Comedy Barn and more.

Nice and tidy little cabin, beautiful views and setting - Vacasa managed though…

Great spot just outside of Townsend. We go down a couple times a year to hike and fish. We were pleasantly surprised at the property, some previous reviews made it sound not too appealing, but was clean and perfectly fine. Only issue is that the property is managed by Vacasa, which I thought wasn’t allowed by Vrbo. The Vacasa check in and “Identity verification” is clunky and seems like a scam. They threatened to cancel my reservation because I didn’t answer the scammy sounding call and voicemail - even though I booked and paid through Vrbo.

Almost Heaven needs some work

Overall I give 4 of 5 stars. It’s is a diamond in the rough. The setting is gorgeous- views are amazing. The road to get to the cabin is not the stairway to heaven. The cabin itself is wonderful. The hot tub is not working and we were not notified of this prior to arrival. Again views are heavenly, thus the name fits. More trash bags and towels would have been great. Also needs some extra/throw blankets for the cold season. The fireplace gives a wonderful ambiance. Would stay again.

Convenient location and a great view

The view is amazing. It was just like the pictures. The house was clean when we got there. It was hard to find at first but we were able to use the written directions from the check in instructions. Definitely would stay here again.

Tiny cabin, spectacular mountain views!

This cabin is perfect for 1-2 people who plan to spend most of their time either on the porch staring at the mountains, or out exploring the area. There unfortunately wasn’t any local tv available or wifi but there was plenty of service to use phones. The views make up for it though!

No working hot tub

The view is AMAZING!!! Cute cabin! This cabin advertises a hot tub, but it was out of order. No cold water in the kitchen sink, and the hot is scalding. Dishes were dirty. Couch and beds aren't very comfortable.

Reasonable cabin with a great view

This cabin is within Townsend. All necessary amenities were there. It is perfect for a getaway. We had four adults and had plenty of room. This cabin had not been updated, but that has helped it keep a reasonable nightly rate. If you want peace and quiet, this is a great cabin.

Booking Discretion Advised

Cabin booking seems lovely online however the cabin is located up a very steep mountain with winding gravel roads. Which is not very functional for smaller vehicles and should be advised. The hot tub was still down from the previous guest. The beds in both rooms were very firm and uncomfortable to sleep on. We did not get a restful sleep and ended up leaving a night early because we slept so terrible. Also not a huge deal but not a friendly stay if you need internet for whatever reason. If staying for the attractions of pigeon forge or gatlinburg be advised it is a 45 minute drive each way. Entry way from parking was washed away from rain and could be a hazard for anyone trying to walk up or down. Not recommended for anyone with mobility issues.

CONS - We had to wash all cookware, dishes, and utensils before use due to old food still on them - Bedding was all dirty - Pullout couch absolutely filthy with dead scorpion in mattress, stains/food, and a live wasp - Balcony railing flimsy and unsafe - Non-working hot tub - Satellite non-functional in living room - Needs a good update and deep clean - Residents firing unnecessary amounts of shots after dark (like 20-30 at a time) PROS - View - Privacy - Location (close to amenities) - Dishes, cookware, and utensils available - Working AC and fridge - Plenty of sleep space - Basic travel-size toiletries provided

It REALLY needs attention.

The view was spectacular. That’s pretty much the positive. The carpet was nasty in LR and bedrooms. We couldn’t have a shoes off inside. The linoleum was worn out, the hot tub un-usable. We covered furniture with spare sheets to feel at least a little comfortable sitting in them. Again, the view was one of the best we have had.
