About this property

Extremely clean cabin in a quiet setting with an outdoor fire pit.

Are you overdue for some rest and relaxation? Is it time to get away from the stress and pressures of everyday living? Step into a place where you can find the serenity that only the closeness to nature can provide. Our Hideout log cabin is located in the shadows of beautiful Rich Mountain. Woods alive with the sounds of songbirds surrounding you. Hiking trails with wildflowers and wildlife are just minutes outside your door. Enjoy a leisurely cup of coffee and a good book in your rocking chair on the front porch, or enjoy an evening around the campfire cooking s'mores. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park and lots of fun activities are just a close drive away, but most of our guests say the favorite part of their visit is the 'home away from home' experience they get right at the Hideout.

Please note that the map shows the National Park is 57 minutes away, but that is to the Sugarlands Visitors Center in the middle of the Park. Our cabin is only a 10 minute drive to the National Park's Townsend entrance, or you can hike into the National Park within a 2 minute drive to the Schoolhouse Gap or Rich Mountain trails, (from the lesser known trailheads. Which are favorable during the busy tourist seasons!)

There are several great restaurants in the immediate Townsend area. We highly recommend the award winning Dancing Bear Bistro, which is only 7 minutes away, https://dancingbearlodge.com/dining/. The Abbey (along Little River) has live music on weekends, trivia nights on Thursdays, and daily gourmet specials. The Little River Pub (also along the Little River) has excellent sandwiches, drinks and our favorite Moonshine Pulled Pork Nachos. To experience the "true local favorite” get a world famous chili and slaw hot dog at the Parkway Grocery Gulf gas station. They've sold over a million hot dogs and have been featured on tv. I may be a bit proud and biased because my daughter and son-in-law are the owners, but you won't be disappointed!

Our cabin has cable and Wi-Fi along with the DVR feature in case you don't want to miss your favorite team's games while you're exploring the National Park. There are also card games, board games, books, and puzzles to enjoy while relaxing in the cabin.

If you are really adventurous, you may want to rent mountain bikes and ride the Vee Hollow trails right in Townsend, https://rideveehollow.com/. Or you can rent electric or standard bikes to ride on the bike path that stretches the length of Townsend, while stopping at one of our many coffee shops and local artisan shops for a perfect combination of exercise, fun and relaxation.

Many of our guests have fallen in love with the beauty and peacefulness of vacationing in our cozy Hideout cabin in Townsend, TN, and keep returning year after year. We hope you will too!

This cabin is one of the best. Very quiet area even though there are neighbors. Never heard anyone. Comfortable beds. Nice kitchen even though we didn't take advantage of it. Beautiful ride to the cabin. Cute little shops along the way. Not far from Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge. We would definitely pick this cabin again.

About the host

Hosted by Melody Gilbertson

Host profile image
My mom and I have been running our cabin rentals for several years. It has been a joy getting to meet so many wonderful guests that become our friends through the years! I love nature and being outdoors. You will often find my sister and I running on the bicycle/walking path that goes all the way through Townsend. Another favorite pastime is for our family to go swimming and tubing in the Little River. My husband golfs at all of the area courses practically every weekend from March-November (yes, I know that's a lot!) My Mom and I do our own cleaning and like to meet our guests personally. The income from the cabin enabled me to be a stay at home mom when my girls were little, and now they will occasionally do the cleaning. In addition to taking care of our rental properties, I am a part-time teaching assistant at Townsend Elementary and part time children's ministry director at Church of the Cove here in Townsend. Come join us if you'd like! I pray that our guests are blessed by experiencing a little piece of heaven here in peaceful Townsend! I think you'll find that our Hideout cabin has a way of capturing your heart and will draw you to keep coming back year after year!

Why they chose this property

Townsend is my hometown and is the most beautiful place in the world! My parents encouraged me to buy the property and build the Hideout before I got married and started a family, and boy am I glad they did! I was able to bring my daughters with me to clean the cabin and still be a stay-at-home mom! I will forever be grateful for those years. God has blessed us with the Hideout and we pray it's a blessing to all of our guests.
