Location in Townsend was great… close enough to get to Dollywood in 40 min but not crazy like Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg. Wildlife galore…. Didn’t see the bears BUT got into one of our cars! Destroyed the inside! Lock the doors even if you are on the property. ##### Elizabeth D. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carol T.

As well as the large dinning room table where we would share a family style dinner each evening while talking about the day’s events and what to do the next. It was a birthday our mom will never forget- thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! ##### Maria L.

We had a fabulous week in the Smokies at Drake's Lodge. The cabin was clean, spacious and very well equipped and provided ample space for 4 families. The view was lovely! The pool was also much appreciated although the pool area could do with a little TLC. ##### Charlotte K.
