Rest and relaxation

A great cabin in a perfect location. Close enough to everything yet feels secluded. You are in the mountains for sure.

Beautiful Cabin

Absolutely beautiful cabin and loved the area. Townsend is a very quiet town and would recommend anyone to stay here vs. pigeon forge or gatlinburg.

Nice Cabin

Simple Pleasures is a lovely cabin! We really enjoyed our stay here. The back porch/deck area is nice, the kitchen is well-stocked, and the overall layout of the cabin worked well for our family. The road leading to the cabin is fully paved and wide enough, which is sometimes an issue with mountain cabins. Some parts of the road are quite steep, which might make winter travel difficult, but overall, it is a wonderful cabin and we would definitely recommend it.

The Peaceful Side

Simple Pleasures checked all the boxes for my family while visiting the Smokys. A very well-equipped cabin that appeared very new to us. Didn't look like the stove had ever been used! Easy in and out and very accessible to Townsend, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Cades Cove. A great stopping place when visiting the Smokys.

Wonderful weekend getaway!

The cabin was so nice and Jo, the property manager, went out of her way to answer questions we had including a visit to the cabin. The location was wonderful for our visit to Cade’s Cove.

Quick Visit to National Park

Short getaway to experience the national park. Very convenient location, beautiful setting and great accommodations. Host very responsive when we had questions. Perfect place for 2 couples. Hope to return sometime when we can stay longer.

Great Cabin! Great Location!!

Our family really enjoyed our stay at Simple Pleasures cabin. The cabin was exactly as described and very clean. Check in was easy too. The location was perfect for easy access to the Smoky Mountain National Park for site seeing and hiking, while also not too far of a drive to Pigeon Forge.

Weekend family wedding

Our cabin was wonderful and so are the hosts. It happened to be unusally cold for that time of year and when we walked in, it was so nice and warm! Thank you for thinking ahead for us. Not all my family was as lucky!! The cabin was beautiful, cozy and clean. We overly enjoyed the fireplace and the furniture was very comfortable. I would highly recommend to anyone needing a place to stay!!Thank you for a wonderful place to stay!Georgiana

Simple Pleasures is a lovely, comfortable cabin in a beautiful location. I appreciated the well-equipped kitchen and comfortable beds and bedding! It's in a quiet location but close to all the activities of the area. On a more personal note, I have loved the novel "Christy" since I was a child, so seeing the street names in the area always made me smile. Great communication with the owner and easy check-in. We hope to return!

Christmas in the Mountains

We had a wonderful stay at Simple Pleasures! The host, Jo, was amazing! She had thought of everything we would need and was very responsive to any questions we had while staying in the cabin. The cabin was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The cabin was decorated with a Christmas tree and the cutest Christmas decor. It was great! Jo is so thoughtful! We had a great stay and plan on coming back again when it is warmer and we can enjoy the outdoor screened in porch.

Great House/Cabin in quiet neighborhood

Perfect place to stay with family or friends. Super clean, well stocked, completely updated/new, nice ambiance, great deck with screened in porch. Very responsive. Easy access to Townsend/main route but far enough for utter mountain quiet/peacefulness! Plus the bears cruise by nightly to wiggle a nose from a safe distance (and keep on moving)! Will definitely stay here again at next year's Bronco Super Celebration!

Close to 5 stars

Great place and enjoyed very much! Two marks against it would be poor lighting in the downstairs bedroom and that bedroom carpet really needs replaced. All else was excellent!

Great cabin for relaxing

This cabin is nestled in the woods within a gated community which made it feel more private and secure. Everything was very clean, the kitchen has great appliances and had everything we needed. This cabin does not offer a hot tub, pool table, gaming machines, etc. which was perfect for us. It allowed us to spend time together enjoying the screened porch and absorbing the beauty of nature without all the distractions. My only issue was that the queen size bed on the main floor was squeaky. I will definitely rent this cabin again!

Comfortable mountain cabin

We had three adults and two kids. The layout worked out well and the house was clean and comfortable. Jo was quick to respond to questions. The house is in a gated community in the mountain. The roads are narrow and winding and there are a couple of steep hills. We had no problems in a mini van in good weather, but also arrived during the day, which I would recommend if you don’t drive in the mountains often. We would definitely stay there again.

Not for elderly

The property was not easy for older folks with bad balance. Be careful of your footing. It’s definitely on a slope. Pictures can be deceiving. No trash can under the deck and we couldn’t have put it there anyway. I’m 82, husband is 84. Cabin was not as clean as expected.

Marvelous Mountain Abode

Simple Pleasures was the perfect place for a family getaway. We were in town for a wedding with 2 adult children. Everyone had their own space and 2 bathrooms definitely helped the process of getting everyone ready on time! The cabin was conveniently located near shops, eateries, and the wedding venue. The host was very communicative so we felt well taken care of. Highly recommend!
