About this property
Creekside Cabin | Private Hot Tub | Wood Fireplace | Peaceful Smoky Mountains
Wake up to the sound of a mountain creek just steps from your door. Soak in the private outdoor hot tub under the stars, unwind in the indoor heart-shaped Jacuzzi tub, then gather by the wood-burning fireplace — this is what a Smoky Mountain escape is supposed to feel like.
Tucked creekside on the peaceful side of the Smokies, this cabin sits just minutes from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrance and 11 miles from iconic Cades Cove — without the crowds or chaos of Gatlinburg.

"Loved the hot tub and fireplace, especially the generous supply of chopped firewood on the deck." — Hallie "Perfect as a quiet home base to explore the Smokies. Hot tub under the stars was a plus!" — Daniel
Minutes from tubing, fly fishing, Tuckaleechee Caverns, hiking, and Cades Cove. 30 minutes to Pigeon Forge, 45 minutes to Gatlinburg — close enough to explore, far enough to truly unwind.

A Great Stay in Townsend
We had a great stay at the cabin. The location was convenient to the Smoky Mountains, and we really enjoyed the hot tub. Check in and checkout were both very easy. Having a washer and dryer was a nice bonus, and the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed our time in Townsend and would definitely stay here again.
We had a great stay at this cabin while exploring the Smoky Mountains! It was cozy, clean, and in a great location for entering the park. Communication with our host was excellent from start to finish, making our stay smooth and stress-free.

Thank you so much for staying with us.
Please comeback anytime.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cabin! It was cozy and comfortable and we especially loved the location, being only 7 minutes from the Park entrance and an easy location to find off a main road. We also enjoyed the hot tub on the back deck and it was very relaxing after hiking all day!
Everything was as described at the cabin. James was friendly, responsive, and respectful! We loved the peace and quiet!

Great Getaway Cabin
This cabin was perfect for our weekend getaway…clean, comfortable and well furnished. It’s close to restaurants and attractions but far enough into the woods to be peaceful.
We had a lovely stay in this cabin. Everything was exactly as described on the website, the owner was a great communicator, and we would happily stay there again.
loved this cabin for our getaway to great smoky mountain park. The cabin was clean, the bed was comfy, kitchen had everything we would need, even though we did not use it, too many good dining options near by :) Close to entrance to the park, and easy access to pigeon forge.
We just wanted a weekend away and this was the ideal spot. Just enough for two and close to town.

Why they chose this property
Most guests tell us they book for the hot tub and the creek — and leave already planning their next trip.
This cabin delivers three things that are hard to find together: a private outdoor hot tub, an indoor heart-shaped Jacuzzi, and a real wood-burning fireplace. Add a creekside setting on the quiet side of the Smokies and you have a mountain escape that's genuinely hard to leave.
Easily accessible year-round directly off the main road — no steep or icy mountain access roads between you and the cabin.
📍 DRIVE TIMES FROM THE CABIN: • Little River Tubing: 5 min • Davy Crockett Riding Stables: 5 min • IGA Grocery Store: 5 min • Little River Outfitters (fly shop): 4 min
