Host was very helpful. The cabin is so cute. We enjoyed staying there. The cabin was well stocked for kitchen items and the linens are nice. Two things: the cabin needs a really good dusting and if you stay in the downstairs bedroom you hear every move made in the upstairs bedroom.

The listing perfectly matched what we found in real life. Staying in a house rather than a hotel was a great choice for us. We were able to enjoy the fireplace and cook dinner on the gas grill. The bed was extremely comfortable. I love the neighborhood. So cute and quiet. Extremely afordable and a great place to just hang out and relax!

The cabin felt like home. It was very comfortable, and pretty clean. It was reasonably close to all of the attractions we came to see and activities we wanted to do. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies to cook meals. Plenty of towels for our family of 4 and the bedding was clean and comfortable.

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy cabin! The place was spotless and well-maintained, and we loved being tucked away in the peaceful wooded area. It was exactly the relaxing getaway we were hoping for. The host was easy to communicate with, and check-in was simple. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind in a clean and comfortable cabin in nature!

The cabin was very cool, decorate nice for in the woods! Had a fireplace, loft upstairs with another livingroom, table. Upstairs bedroom is right above the downstairs bedroom, which wasn't sound proof. We could hear my son's conversations and moving about the room.Did see a deer while staying there.

About the host

Hosted by Cyndie Cornelius

Host profile image
We arrived in the Smokies over 16 years ago. Our first trip was a fly fishing adventure. Until then, my only Smokies adventure had been to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.
Townsend proved to be an oasis in the mountains. The setting is serene and peaceful and without the trappings of the more recognized areas. Trout were not the only things hooked that weekend... we were as well. Just one year later, we arrived in Townsend to live full time. It took a year to make it happen, but we were determined to make the Smokies our home.
We surely can not imagine living anywhere else. Waking every morning to the sunrise over the mountains, and the sights and sounds of the birds and other wild life living in the area, is an unbelievable experience.

It has been our objective to educate others about the wonders of living here in this beautiful place and we have done our best to create an environment that will hopefully give our guests a place to call home when they come to visit.
The number of returning guests has grown greatly in the past years.
If your dates of arrival are not available for this cabin, try our other cabins
also on VRBO.

Why they chose this property

This home is located in a true mountain community with paved roadways and easy access.. The community is located only minuets from the Cades Cove entrance of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

What makes this property unique

It is our mission to maintain our cabins in a manner that will never disappoint. We are VERY local and we keep a watchful eye over our retreats.
We want you to consider our cabins your home away from home in the Smokies.
