We loved the cabin and the location. Easy to get to and relaxing to hang out in. The host was great and provided detailed instructions on check-in, check-out and other helpful info.
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!
We like to visit Cades Cove and The National Park for sightseeing and hiking. Great location for both. Cabin was very clean and electronics friendly for those with that kind of need.
We loved our stay. Cabin was extremely clean, beds were comfy, loft and bedroom upstairs were perfect for our three kids. Enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub too! Our first time on the Townsend side of the Smokies, loved the chill vibe and easy access to trails in GSMNP.
This place was great for our 27th anniversary close to cades cove very quiet and great local food,, owner was really good to deal with, definitely will return
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.
We loved the cabin. The kitchen jad everything we needed and more. The beds were comfortable. It was a week before Christmas when we were there, the little Christmas tree in the living room next to the fireplace wa s a nice touch.
We had an amazing stay. We can not say enough about this amazing cabin. It is absolutely beautiful! Nestled back in the woods. Lovely scenery and cozy setting. We hope to stay here everytime we visit. The Warner Family 2024
We spent Thanksgiving at Peace of Mind, which is a perfect name for it. The cabin was very welcoming upon arrival. The decor is attractive and tasteful. And the cabin was very clean. Derek is a great host and very quick to respond to questions. We definitely would stay here again!
Our stay was absolutely phenomenal. The location is perfect, close to everything, yet on the quiet side of the smokies. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed. A ton of kitchen supplies, towels, everything was very tidy. We thoroughly emjoyed our stay and cannot wait to come back. Will certainly book this cabin again. It was perfect!
Came in for football game weekend. Great privacy. Very clean. Great updates. Highly recommend!
