Very private 'real' log cabin on 28 acre mountain top shared with 4 other cabins. Sit on the covered front porch in one of the rocking chairs with a view of the 'Great Smoky Mountain National Park' in front of you. We are only 15 min. from Cades Cove and 3 miles from the entrance to the national park.
The cabin has a master bedroom with full size bed, fully equiped kitchen, bathroom, livingroom with stone faced fireplace and satellite TV with DVD/VHS on the main floor. Upstairs is an oversized sleeping loft with two full sized beds and an air hocky table. The front porch runs the full lenth of the cabin and has rocking chairs and a bench to enjoy the mountain views in front of the cabin. The deck wraps around the end and back of the cabin and features a 4 person hot tub,sunning lounges and a charcoal grill. The kitchen is fully equiped and all linens, towels and paper products are furnished.
R & R Retreat is the last cabin on the mountain top and all the cabins are secluded. You are just a short drive from the shopping in Pigeon Forge or the sights of Gatlinburg without the crowds or neighbors at night. Several good resturants are within a mile or two if you choose not to dine in. You are within 2 miles of great tubbing, fishing, hiking, biking trail, swimming in the 'Little River' and horseback riding.
The Townsend community is what Pigeon Forge was 30 years ago, uncrowded, quiet and peaceful.

I spent 6 relaxing days at this cozy cabin and loved every minute of it! It was very private and the kitchen had everything I needed! I love how convenient the cabin was to Townsend and Cades Cove. I am a photographer, so I spent the majority of my time with camera in hand! I turned 60 at the cabin and will always remember this trip!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thanks Becky, hope you can come stay with us again. PS:got the package

We had the most wonderful time at R&R Retreat. It was so neat and clean and I loved the way it was all set up. Beautiful view of the mountains, a hop, skip, and jump from 321 so you could hear some traffice noise but so convenient. Loved drinking my coffee on the porch and the woods in back. Will definitely be back! Thanks, Tommy!Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: Glad you had a good time. Hope I can help you in the future. Thanks, Tommy

We had a very relaxing time. We were the only ones on our little mountian for the first 2 days. Loved the cabin and the fact that it was close to other cabins but out of sight. Easy drive to Pegion Forge and Gatlinburg. Cades cove was great and there are alot of other things to see or do. Just sitting on the porch was wonderful. We loved our stay and hated to leave. Thanks for the great experance.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: Glad you enjoyed it. Hope you can visit again.

Loved staying here. It was peaceful and quiet and I had an amazing week. It was nice getting away from internet and busyness. It was rustic like a cabin but still modern and clean. Would definitely recommend. Bring your own bottled water to drink, and make sure you get an address ahead of time you can mapquest, but once you have that its easy to get to. Tommy is great to work with.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: I hope the mapping programs catch up to the E-911 address changes soon so that the address matches the location. Glad you had a good time. Thanks, Tommy

Our stay at your cabin was just wonderful! The cabin was so homey, cozy and comfortable. It was so relaxing! The deck and views were amazing! Loved the decor of your cabin, so rustic, and loved all the antiques. Like a step back in time with modern conveniences. Loved the area, Cades Cove, The Railroad Museum & Tuckaleechee Caverns. Say our first Black Bear at the entrance to Cades Cove. Say lots of Deer, Turkeys & Elk. Would definitley come back!!!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Enjoyed the cabin and the location. Cabin needs updating but would go back over and over! Owner was very nice and always took time to help with directions or whatever we needed. LOVED THE FIRE PLACE and owner had provided more than enuf wood! Would be nice to have Wi/fi ..... LisaRecommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you very much for your review. I have considered wi-fi and " updates" for the cabin; but I have found most of my renters prefer the low rates. Would love to know what renters think of a daily charge for wi-fi.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2001
About the owner: I was born and raised in the mountains of East Tennessee. I have always enjoyed the Towsend area for swimming and tubbing in the Little River. My wife and I enjoy traveling to all of the National Parks throughout the United States.
Why the Owner Chose Townsend:
I have been coming to this area since the 1960's and later with my wife and family to enjoy the Little River and the Smoky Mountains. It is a great place to enjoy nature and the beauty of the area without the crowds in Gatlinburg. I really enjoy the winter with a fire and the quietness of the mountains.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin:
If you love nature, this is the place for you. No crowds, just lots of mountains, peace and quiet. Mother Nature at her finest is right here in the quiet side of the Smoky Mountains. Fishing, swimming and tubing the river, hiking and backpacking the trails of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, visit old homesteads and look for wild animals while touring Cades Cove and the park or just relax and breath in the fresh mountain air. If you need a vacation, then this is place you want to be.
