The house was as advertised, and the host was very responsive. There are a few very steep hills getting to the house, but the view was very nice once you arrive. There was a strong odor of cleaning products. We did air out the house which helped.

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin. It was cozy, peaceful, and the view was absolutely beautiful — easily one of our favorite parts of the trip. The location was perfect as well, just a short drive to Townsend and the Smoky Mountains, which made exploring the area incredibly convenient. We truly enjoyed our time here and would happily stay again.

We had never stayed on the Townsend side, it was great.Hardly any traffic and 20 minutes to Cades Cove. The cabin was clean and had spectacular views. The road up was a mountain road, but really not that bad. We never had to use our 4x4. We’ve done worse. Alice was kind enough to make sure we got checked in ok. Thanks for sharing your cabin with us!we would definitely come back!!

Thanks for your wonderful review and so glad you had a great stay at our cabin. I fully agree with you about our very laid-back Townsend one red-light town with only about a 35-45 minute drive to get into the hustle bustle pigeon forge or Gatlinburg. Alice

My husband and I were on our 20th year anniversary and this cabin was absolutely perfect. We stayed 6 nights, 5 days. There is plenty of things to do in the beautiful Smoky Mountains a short drive down the road. The drive up to the cabin is a 4 wheel or all wheel drive MUST! It is very steep nothing a 4 wheel drive vehicle can't handle. The views are stunning. We spent all of our time on the porch when we weren't out exploring the Smoky Mountains. Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge are about a 45 minute scenic drive away. Check out the Cade Cove scenic loop. It will not disappoint. Our host checked (texted) in on us to make sure everything was as described but did not disturb us at all. We really felt at home here. We got to see multiple bears, and other wildlife sitting right out on the back porch of our cabin, really was the highlight of the entire trip! We will definitely be renting this place again in the future. It's a nature lovers paradise. P.S. The hot tub is FABULOUS!

We enjoyed our stay at this cabin. It was very clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. The owners were informative of the steep driveway so we weren’t surprised by this. We would stay here again if we make another trip to Townsend.
