Fantastic cabin in Townsend!
This cabin was an amazing experience and we’ll be back. Clean, beautiful place with great fire pit, very comfy beds, and nice quiet location. We had a very minor issue come up that I reached out to the owner on and he was there the next night fixing it. And was a great person to talk with. Next time in Townsend, no question we’ll stay here again!

Fall break on the river
We had a wonderful time. We felt the property exceeded our expectations. And the 9 o’clock check out time was surprisingly early. Most places we visit have different times i.e. check in at three and check out at 10.

Super vacation home!
We loved staying at the Fishin' Hole Cabin! The cabin was spacious, on a river where we could do some fishing (which was not only beautiful but also convenient), clean, and equipped with all we needed for a relaxing and fun stay. Richard is a great host, was responsive, and knowledgeable about the area. As far as location, right outside the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountain Natl. Park. There are also walking trails around town and some great restaurants close by. Can't be beat for a vacation home!

No Fishing Hole
The cabin was nice. Fishing Hole Cabin is a misnomer. There is no hole in front of the cabin just flat rock ankle deep. The purpose for renting was for me mt son and grandsons was to catch trout. The stocking was suppose to take place the first day of rental. It was never stocked during our stay. It rained for 3 days but that was mother nature. We packed up and left a day early. We paid extra and were disappointed. Can't recommend if you hope to find fish.

Like Returning Home!
It has been almost 30 years since I last visited Townsend. Staying at the "Fishin Hole" Cabin was like returning home. The cabin, the setting and all the amenities were spot on. Thank you for the wonderful stay and we will be returning hopefully each year! Absolutely the best vacation spot in The Smokies!

Christmas vacation
We enjoyed our stay very much. The Rustic Cabin was very nice. It actually snowed while we were there and it was so Awesome for my Grandkids. Loved the fact it was so close to Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and the National Park yet far enough away from the crowds and chaos. We would definetly stay again.

Owner was quick to respond to booking and all questions. Outdoor area was fantastic with an amazing fire pit and porch swing with a view of the river. Fireplace took the chill out of the room in the morning and was just amazing week for our family.

Wonderful place for family time
The cabin was very clean. We had our 5 children with us and they absolutely loved tubing in the river all week. The owners answered all of our questions promptly. The location is great, still within 30 minutes of Pigeon Forge. This was a wonderful vacation full of great memories for us. I would definitely recommend this cabin.

"Fishin Hole" Cabin
The "Fishin Hole" cabin is a three bedroom, two bath cabin located on the Little River about one mile from the stoplight in Townsend. It is an ideal rental for an extended family with a spacious living/dining area. All the bedrooms had ample storage space. The kitchen was functional, but a major deficiency was the lack of a dishwasher. The owner stated that he plans to build an island in the kitchen with a dishwasher in the future. Significant items of flatware were missing, there were only two dinner knives. We reported this to the owner. The environment around the cabin was quite nice. The cabin backs up on a pasture or open field and a low ridge. At night, it was dark enough to observe and photograph the stars. The little river runs in front of the cabin and the owner has built a concrete sidewalk or dock along the river. From the walkway, we were able to observe small fish and crayfish at night with a flashlight. Access involves crossing a little used one lane road. The road itself is a pleasant place to walk. We contacted the owner several time and he was very responsive. At first, he was hard to contact since he was on vacation in the Caribbean. The hot tub was not functioning properly upon our first use and we called the owner and he fixed it the next day. VRBO was horrible at providing information on the location and environment and we didn't receive anything from them until two days before out trip. I suggest you rent direct from the owner. The cabin does need some maintenance as many screens were lying on the ground outside the cabin. It got very hot on the second floor and we really would have appreciated screens.
