Very nice property that is close to town, but gives you the feeling of being deep in the woods. We had deer, turkeys and a bear come right into the yard while we were sitting on the front porch. Linda was very helpful when we had a few questions about the home. We will definitely book this cabin again.

Nice location with great view and amenities. The driveway hill is steep and was a bit daunting to do a 3 point turn in my minivan. Well-stocked kitchen tools and equipment, but worth noting no consumable supplies other than coffee filters, tea bags, and salt & pepper. The family enjoyed spreading out and relaxing after our morning hikes. The Roku tv's do work with airplay/cast so you don't have to sign in on the provided devices.Owner states the hot tub water is refilled for each guest and while it was clean when we arrived, after 2 days it was smelling badly - there were no chlorine tabs in the floater to keep it clean.

Great Cabin

We stayed several nights and really liked the place. It was very clean, well-equipped and had a nice homey feel. After a long day hiking, the hot tub was very welcome! We would come back.

Perfect Location

We absolutely loved staying in this property. It’s so nice and quiet and secluded but also not far from things we wanted to do. We visited Cades Cove, The Tuckaleechee Caverns, hiked, and enjoyed food at The Peaceful Side. We so enjoyed having this home base for exploring the nature at our finger tips. We also appreciated that we had access to the swimming pool at the nearby country club. It was quite a hot week so we really enjoyed having that opportunity. I am thankful for the easy communication with Linda who made sure we were well taken care of.

Peaceful cabin stay

We stayed at this property for 3 nights. The time was relaxing and the cabin is comfortable for 4 adults. The cabin has room to accommodate more with an open area with bunk beds, but we didn't need to use those. There is no outside grill, the foosball table was missing a ball so not able to use, and the indoor fireplace was turned off although listing indicated it would be on at that time of year. These are small things that can be checked by owner, but we still enjoyed our stay a lot. Easy check in and check out. This cabin looks good in pictures and in person.

We enyoyed our time at this cabin. The town was quiet and easy access to the national park, wears valley, pigeon forge and Gatlinburg without the traffic!! The cabin had enough privacy. The hot tub was hot and relaxing. The fire pit was also added bonus for enjoying the outdoors. There are a lot of steps into the cabin. This was not an issue for us. The driveway is steep but there is parking at the bottom of the drive if needed and the roads leading are not crazy mountain roads. Cabin had everything needed!

Happy Anniversary to us!

We could not have picked a better cabin for our anniversary get away. It was so cozy and comfortable. It had everything we needed and then some. The lovely welcome basket was amazing. We didn't need to get snacks after that. The hot tub and back porch was amazing. We loved to watch the sun and moon come up each morning and night on the porch. The location was perfect. We have been traveling to the Smoky Mountains for years and we have never stayed in Townsend. We will be back. The restaurants in town were amazing. We really enjoyed the Foothills Parkway nearby. Thank you for an unforgettable vacation.

Nice Location, Customer service lacking

This house is convenient to town. The house was in good shape. There are numerous steps to get into the house. May not be ideal for mobility impaired. The house was not clean upon arrival. There was a towel hanging from the second floor balcony and underwear on the floor under the end table. The water pressure was very bad. We could not run the dishwasher and any other shower or faucet without the dishwasher making noise. The TV setup was frustrating as it ran off of the internet that needed reset frequently. There were cigarette butts on both the front and rear deck. Be cautious of the petty charges for items that the cleaners claim they had to do or claim were not done when leaving. I took pictures, like I do at every house, when we left. I was charged a cleaning fee for things that were clean when we left. I have pictures. It is a shame. I would have considered staying here again if not for the petty charges they tried to say we were responsible for.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Aug, 2023
Terry, We did not hear from you during your stay until after you checked out and learned you incurred a $50 fee for the extra cleaning for the hot tub. As I told you and sent pictures per your request there was a significant amount of bubbles present in the hot tub so the hot tub had to be filled and drained multiple times and a special cleaner was used. You were not charged for the mess that was left after you left. We were anticipating your review because of your extreme reaction to the small fee given the circumstances as you were still e-mail about it 3 days after you left. We also provided you with a one star guest rating review not so much for the condition of the property but your extreme reaction.

This cabin was great! Beds were comfortable, the cabin was one of the cleanest I have stayed in and we rent multiple cabins a year. If you rent this cabin make sure you lock your car. A bear decide to pay our car a visit about 6:30 am the doors were locked so he wasn't able to get in. Over all are stay was great would definitely stay again.

Excellent cabin with stunning Mountain Views. Very comfortable furnishings and nicely decorated. Private and quiet. Wonderful hot tub to use after daily hikes. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Close enough to town but out far enough to see the local wildlife. I would definitely stay here again.

The owners have everything you could possibly want or need here. They even have the light switches labeled which was awesome. Everything was nice and clean. We did have some bear visitors show up which was exciting. Would definitely stay here again. Just because I wasn't paying attention and learned this lesson the hard way, do not go through the main entrance, use their directions:)
