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.
My husband and I were in town for a wedding and the cabin was so cute, charming and tucked away in the woods. Townsend was a great town to stay, can’t wait to come back.

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 • Smoky Mountain National Park Entrance: ~6 min (3.6 miles) • Tuckaleechee Caverns: ~7 min (3.2 miles) • Vee Hollow Mountain Bike Trails: 6 min • Townsend Riverwalk & Arboretum: 5 min • Foothills Parkway: 12 min • Wears Valley: 12 min • Cades Cove Loop (inside GSMNP): ~22 min (11 miles) • Pigeon Forge / Dollywood: 30 min • Maryville: 24 min • Knoxville Airport (McGhee Tyson): 30 min • Gatlinburg: 45 min • Knoxville Downtown: 45 min
Whether you're hiking Cades Cove, tubing the Little River, exploring Tuckaleechee Caverns, or curling up by the fire with a glass of wine — this is the right base camp for all of it.
