Absolutely loved this place! Although it was further out from Pigeon Forge, we enjoyed the scenic drive and the area of Townsend. We probably wouldn't have ventured out that way if we weren't going through it. We would definitely stay here again!

Cabin was exactly as advertised and it was perfect! We had 2 adults and our 3 mid-late teenagers. We laughed as the kids tried to play the older "easy" games on the arcade machine. Kitchen had everything we needed and the place was clean. Hot tub was lovely. Thanks for the stay!

Our stay at Mountain Mist Cabins was exceptional. The cabin was very clean, thoughtfully appointed, and provided everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and spending evenings by the fire pit, it made for a perfect way to unwind after hiking! My kids loved the arcade games as well.The host was very communicative, and the check-in and check-out process was seamless. The location was ideal, just minutes from Great Smoky Mountains National Park and conveniently close to several excellent restaurants.We highly recommend this cabin and look forward to returning in the future.

This is a beautiful cabin in a wonderful location! It is very close to the main road in Townsend and thus about as close as one can stay near Cades Cove, and yet it is isolated on a hill with no other residences visible when in the cabin or on the spacious porch.
