The cabin is in a nice location on the quiet side of the park, easy access to Cades Cove and Tail of the Dragon. Also close to Gatlinburg for sight seeing. For us, the cabin smelled pretty musty, but it was very clean. When we asked about the smell, the host sent a housekeeper to check, with nothing obvious found. I think they could benefit from a dehumidifier to help manage the humidity.The cabin’s bed and pillows were not comfortable. With the upstairs bed and flooring very creaky. So for the bedroom below, every movement that was made upstairs was heard -loud enough to wake you. All the interior doors did not stay closed unless latched by a hook, not easily accessible if you wanted into a room. The hot tub was clean and worked well, fairly small for 4 adults. Overall good experience with great response time from host.

Relaxing weekend in Townsend

Cabin was exactly as described and very clean! Great communication with the owner with clear check in and check out instructions. Loved the hot tub and being close to the park without the busyness of a bigger city like Pigeon Forge. Would definitely stay here again!

Quite and tucked away with a fire pit

This property was exactly what we were looking for - something a bit more secluded. Yes, there are neighbors, but you couldn't really see them which was great. The fire pit was an excellent source of entertainment for us.
