Why the Owner Chose Townsend
We love Blount County and Townsend! Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg can be fun to visit for the day, but then we are always ready to head home to Townsend. With less traffic and tourists, you are actually "in" the mountains, not just looking at them! There are so many interesting shops and vendors from the usual tourist shops to woodworkers and dulcimer makers! Cades Cove and the National Park are only 10 minutes from our door. Avoid the crowds and enjoy some of the best hiking in the park from the Townsend Entrance!
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
We love having lunch on Saturday at the Riverstone Restaurant and enjoying the free live music. Or a gourmet lunch at Sister Cats then touring the Woodworking Shop next door looking for a unique item for our home. Taking a hike in the Elkmont Area enjoying the former homes of the Appalachian Club. Cades Cove at dusk to look for bears, or driving from the Cove over Rich Mountain (if you have the correct vehicle). Visiting the Greenbrier School or the Walker Sisters Home is also a great afternoon hike. Travel to Abrams Falls is a great hike with a wonderful falls at the midpoint. Traveling the Foothills Parkway to the Look Rock Tower is great for views, and the climbing at Look Rock is some of the best in the area. There is so much more, in 17 years I have never run out of things to do in Townsend!
Our home comes with a membership to the Pool at Laurel Valley. Golf is open to the public for a fee. Enjoy the best views in the area from the Pool and Restaurant.
Enjoy the most popular feature of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Cades Cove. Enjoy the many historical features and amazing wildlife on this 13 mile loop road around the cove. Don't miss the old Cable Mill area at the half way point. Abram's Falls is a good hike and is the largest falls by volume east of the Mississippi River.
Enjoy this fascinating new museum and interpretative area which tells the story of our mountains and it's people. (865)-448-0044
Great local foods including fried green tomatoes and they have an amazing Jack Daniels Burger. Great Cobblers too. Live music in the back room call for schedule (865) 448-8816

I have been to Townsend area many times but have never enjoyed my stay as much as when I rented this cabin! You were very helpful in planning our time in the area and your home had everything we could have wanted and more! The children enjoyed the movies and games and we used the hiking books to plan our time in the park. The soap and shampoo in the bathrooms were a nice treat! We loved having a bathroom in each bedroom! We will be back again!
Owner response:Thank you for your kind words! We work hard to make sure our home is the perfect get away for our guests! We want you to feel like you are at your own cabin in the Smokies, not just our guest! I hope you will let us serve you again the next time you can come and enjoy our mountains!

Awesome and clean cabin
Guest: Sharon M.
Date of Stay: 12/27/11
Review Submitted: 01/19/12
I would have to say this is the most well stocked, cleanest cabin we've stayed in the Smokys. We have been in approximately 20 different cabins and this is the best. Richard was awesome to work with and returned calls or emails very timely. It was easy to get to and the views were to die for. Everything you need to cook is in the kitchen and in good shape. I loved that the ice machine worked. Excellent video selection. I like that all of the switches were labeled and the vistor info binder was very helpful. We used the grill a couple of times and it was so clean it looked brand new. You can tell the cabin owners take pride in their cabin and care about their renters. We loved the quietness of Townsend and will stay there again. We loved the golf course bar/restaurant...it was so close and handy.
Owner response:Thank you for your kind words! This is our home and we take great pride in it! We have stayed in many rentals and have taken the good and bad from each stay into consideration when working on our home. We love sharing this special place (Townsend) and our home with our guests. Thank you for noticing and for posting your kind review! The Knotty Pine Team!

We have rented vacation homes numerous times, and this one was the best! Lovely furniture, not "hand me downs"! Immaculately clean! Well stocked kitchen, fine quality sheets, beds were comfortable. Internet access is great, good connection. The pictures are accurate, you will have no "surprises". Location is great if you are planning to spend time in the Great Smoky Mountains. Owners were very responsive when trying to rent, and with my questions about the hottub. Several good resturants nearby, Miss Lilly's, Dancing Bear Lodge for fine dining. I hope to come back with my kids and grandkids some day. Townsend is the best location for easy access to the Smokies, and away from the rows and rows of tourist shop after shop. If the National Park is your destination, this is the place to stay. Highly recommend stopping at the Townsend Visitors Center and purchasing a Great Smoky Mountain Assoc membership...it helps support the park, and gives you discounts on purchases...in the park and elsewhere. GSM park doesn't charge admission, so this helps support them!
Owner response:Thank you John and Mary! We are so glad you enjoyed our home. We do rent our cabin, but it is our Tennessee home and we want everyone staying with us to enjoy as much as we do. We are thrilled you enjoyed our town, Townsend as much as we do. It is the best part of the Smokies to be sure! I hope you can stay with us again, soon and continue your love of our mountains and the people who live there! Richard and the Alpha Vacation Properties Team.

One word describes it all, "Wow!!" Knotty Pine is the best of all worlds to get away for some R and R....quiet and serene yet near town for the variety of things to see/do; Best of all about Knotty Pine..modern amenities wrapped around starlit nights, breathtaking sunrises over the mountains, crisp/refreshing air, singing/chirping birds and natures creations! It took us away from the "busy ness of daily life" ..the perfect ingredients for peace and relaxation. The spacious kitchen/DR provided us great family time for meals..great way to save $$ on this trip. Plenty of space for all. The wrap around deck gave us outstanding views of the mountains, many bird species, neighborhood turkeys and deer. Awesome!! Especially enjoyed early morning walks on Townsends many bike/walking trails. Walking along paths along the gurgling river and enjoying the many trees/plants was invigorating! A day invested over at Cades cove was a highlight; enjoying a picnic in the forest, then drive thru the park to see nature's creatures at home...wild turkeys, birds, deer, and YES, black bear!! Awesome! What a great value for a getaway here at Knotty Pine. We didn't cover it all this trip so we're booking now to return to get in some golf, Dollywood, Gatlinburg, and more of Great Smoky Mtn. Nat. Park next trip. Meantime, we're telling family, friends and bus. associates about your home!

Great Time in the Great Smoky Mountains

Review Submitted: 04/03/11
This cabin was so warm and cozy that we had a hard time leaving to go do all of the great things in the area. The cabin was very clean and nice and had just about every thing you could ever want. I like that all of the bedrooms had there own bathroom. The views from the cabin are very pretty and the deck was a great place to relax. Really loved the town of Townsend, so different from Pigeon Forge and Gatlingburg. Nice quiet and friendly. Well worth the rental fee and the rental was very easy to do. Would love to go back and probably will in the future.
Owner response:Thank you for your kind words! We love sharing our home and Townsend with our guests. Townsend is a warm and welcoming place and we try to make our home reflect this! We are glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to hosting you again, soon! Knotty Pine Cabin Families!

THE CABIN WAS BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT. EVERYTHING YOU NEEDED WAS SUPPLIED TO USE (EXCEPT PERISHABLES) CLOSE ENOUGH TO EVERYTHING BUT FAR ENOUGH AWAY FOR RELAXATION.

Our stay/experience at the 'Knotty Pine' was fantastic! The cabin was spacious, clean, and exceeded our expectations. The cabin is perfectly located near the golf course/pool and the entrance to the mountains! The amenities at the cabin were more than enough to make us feel 'at home' and the views made us feel 'on vacation'. This cabin is perfect!! Next time we'll stay longer for sure!!
Owner response:We so appreciate these kind comments. We love staying at our home and making it awesome for our guests. Is great to know you appreciated all the extra touches! After three years on Homeaway we continue to have great experiences with our guests!

We spent X-MAS at the cabin and could not have asked for more !!!!!!!! It was great. The cabin was super clean. The beds were as comfortable as they could be. And did I mention the views. Very nice of the mountains in the distance. It snowed and it was in deed a winter wonder land. We spent alot of time in Cades Cove and boy was it great. Deer and Turkeys every were. And don't miss Gatlenburg in the winter.I just want to thank Karen and Vickie and Richard for working with us. Every time we needed something they where jonny on the spot and took care of it. What a pleasure to have such great and caring people to work with. I would like to thank ART !!!! He lives next door. He came over and helped when the snow and ice where getting bad on the back porch. He did it out of the kindness of his heart. SO THANKS A MILLION !!!!! I and my family will be back.. For the price this is one of the best cabins we have stayed in. THANKS

Affordable Upscale Vacation Cabin
Guest: Florida travelers

Date of Stay: 10/18/10
Review Submitted: 11/08/10
Cades Cove is one of our favorite places to visit and the Knotty Pine vacation Cabin is conveniently located nearby and has easy access. This is an affordable upscale home owned by a family that is easy to work with and to contact by email or telephone throughout the rental process. The home was not a disappointment... and even nicer than the photos show. It is clean and tastefully decorated and has many added features to make you feel at home. We appreciate the pet friendly option since we travel with our small dog. We enjoyed our recent October visit very much...the mountain views from this home are fabulous. We would not hesitate to return to this home on another visit to Townsend and would certainly recommend it to others.
