We loved our cabin. The road up to the cabin is just a gravel road, just go slow and it is fine. Very nice cabin, it is close to everything you need but you are still in the forest. I loved the screened in porch, the chairs were comfy and they rocked. So peaceful. We drove around and shopped and ate a late lunch then came back to the cabin and played cards.

Quiet cabin

Clean place, beds were comfy. Upstairs bunk bed need work as they creak and move alot. Everytime my teens rolled over on the bunks I could hear it below in the master bedroom. Watched a bear and deer roam through while sitting on the screened in back deck. It was a nice quiet place, close to town. We enjoyed our stay!

Stuffed penguin

This was our second stay at your cabin its our favorite vrbo or rental of all. The first time we stayed is when we closed on our 10 1/2 acre lot in Townsend we have been improving our land ever since. The reason for staying again was because we are heading to Florida for vacation but the fireworks in Townsend are like no other! We chose your cabin again because it was available and we had hopes of finding the stuffed animal penguin my daughter left behind from our seaworld trip but no luck. But more importantly we love the cabin so much we would like to know if you would share the builders name with us or if you know the model name of the cabin? Our property sits on a mountain ridge up near the foothills parkway off Carrs Creek road and the cabin you have would fit our landscape and family perfect. Thank your for letting us stay at your cabin and any information on the build of y o u cabin would be greatly appreciated.

Secluded and Serene.

Nice little cabin in the woods, clean and ready with everything you need for your vacation. We only really stayed here to sleep, because we were exploring the area in and around the Smoky Mountains. My only concern was that we stayed in the downstairs bedroom and all the sounds from upstairs could be heard. The host Jeremy was very responsive and overall it was a very pleasant experience. Thank you.

Peaceful Side of the Smokies

My family and I loved staying in this beautiful cabin and hope to come back in the future! The cabin was clean and cozy. Check-in and out went very smoothly. Townsend is called the Peaceful Side of the Smokies for good reason. My family and I definitely preferred having a calm retreat at the end of the day, instead of the bustle of Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. Jeremy (the owner) was quick to respond to any request or question. He and his father went above and beyond to clear off trees that had fallen across the road during a pretty incredible wind storm. I highly recommend!
