The cabin was great! We had a couple of issues though. If you don’t keep the upstairs shower liner INSIDE the tub at all times it will start leaking into the kitchen downstairs. We were told it was common in cabins. We have stayed in SEVERAL cabins with many teenagers before and NEVER had that problem. As for the queen bed in the downstairs bedroom it needs replacing. The mattress doesn’t seem to fit the bed frame and it was hard as a rock. One corner of the mattress would slip out of the frame while just laying on it. We were told there would be extra garbage bags but never found them. I messaged the owner and she said they were in the cabinet under the sink. They were not. She just said, “That’s odd.” The upstairs bedroom door is hard to close and open. It sticks badly. On the upside we got to see a mama bear and her two cubs. We had to wait til they went around the cabin and back into the woods before we could get out of our car.

We loved the cabin. Enough room for me and my husband and my baby girl and my son in law and my 2 grandbabies.kitchen was nice with enough room for both me and my daughter to be in there. We loved the fireplace we used it when it was a cold outside with out turning the heat up. We got to rest and enjoy the family time. Still close enough to all the activities and restaurants. We did try Jimbob in Townsend which was good.

Jo was an amazing host! The cabin was very welcoming and cozy. It was very clean and provided plenty of space to relax and enjoy our trip. The beds and couches were extremely comfortable. The city of Townsend had plenty to offer to keep us from going to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We are looking forward to staying here again next year!

Simple Pleasures was perfect for our family of 4, situated in a quiet gated community in peaceful Townsend. We especially enjoyed eating breakfast and dinner out in the screened in porch while hearing many birds and watching squirrels eating in the treetops. We even had two sightings of a black bear and one sighting of a black coyote, all leisurely walking by the cabin at dusk. The kitchen and bathroom had the essentials to get started with our stay, supplemented with our own supply of dish soap and toilet paper. We enjoyed being close to the Smoky National Park, accessing Cades Cove and hiking Abrams Falls and the Middle Prong Trail from the Tremont area. We also enjoyed the local cavern tour and riding horses for an hour at the Davy Crockett Riding Stables. The only extensive driving we did was to drive to Hartford to white water raft through Smoky Mountain Outdoors, which was well worth the drive and highly organized upon our arrival. On the way home from Hartford, we passed through Gatlinburg and enjoyed our time at the Ripley's Aquarium. Lastly, we enjoyed the local shops in Townsend and stopping at the Bear Restoration Center and learning about efforts to help injured or non-thriving bears in the area. We hope to make it back and again stay in Townsend and at this cabin or at the very least, in the Laurel Valley Golf Community.

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.

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