We loved the cozy cabin and it was so comfortable. Everything we needed for a week in the Smokies. The location was convenient for the Cade’s Cove side of the park. A lovely setting- quiet and peaceful. Would absolutely stay here on another trip!

The cabin was well-equipped and the perfect size for us. We so appreciated that our dog was welcome, too. The inside of the cabin was clean, but there was a musty odor under the sinks and in the closet/laundry room. The windows and screens were quite dirty as well. Otherwise, the cabin was lovely and comfortable, and the neighborhood was peaceful and pretty. We enjoyed our time in Townsend.

Nice, quiet cabin

Very nice and well-stocked cabin. We enjoyed our stay. I would like to point out that this is in the woods, so there are a lot of spiders around the exterior of the house (didn't see any inside though) with webs in all the windows which may be an issue for some people.

Cozy Clean all you need

This was our 3rd stay in their cabins but first time in laural mist. Very clean and Cozy just like all their cabins. They have everything you need to relax and a very close ride to Cades Cove. Only minutes to the river, walking trails and great restaurants.

Relaxing and Comfortable Get-Away

We had a very relaxing and comfortable get-away. The cabin is a short drive to breweries and restaurants in Townsend, as well as to the GSMNP entrance and Cades Cove. We took advantage of the full kitchen to cook a couple of meals and enjoyed them al fresco on the nice screened porch. Very nice stay.

About the host

Hosted by Cyndie Cornelius

Host profile image
I have been selling Smoky Mountain Real Estate since 2007 and managing Smoky Mountain Rental Properties since 2014. As the Owner and Principal Broker of a Townsend based Real Estate Firm, I have been in and out of hundreds of rental cabins. Feeling strongly that people want to be treated to a clean and well stocked cabin in a private surrounding, my husband and I decided to see if our theory was correct. We purchased our first cabin in 2014 and put it in service. The demand was overwhelming, and we soon purchased our second and third. The owners of Laurel Mist purchased this cabin from us and we agreed to manage the rental of this cabin as well, since it has the same private setting and warm interior decor that our guests enjoy. We felt Laurel Mist was a perfect match for our clients.

Why they chose this property

The atmosphere and location of this cabin provide the perfect getaway for the owners. Nestled into the trees and well off the roadway, the privacy abounds. Townsend is a small town that is a gateway community to the National Park. To visit the area opens up the entire park to visitors. This cabin has a warm interior with a huge main living space and stacked stone fireplace. The french doors that lead to the screened in back porch add a bright and inviting outdoor living area to the already spacious interior.
It was for the owners, a perfect choice to enjoy themselves, and to share with other guests to the area.
With strong ties to UT, this home away from home was a no brainer!

What makes this property unique

Laurel Mist backs to county parkland and a nature preserve. This cabin is has great outdoor space and privacy abounds. Located in the same Natural Surroundings as The Cove and Smoke Rise, this cabin will sleep four, offering a bit larger accommodations when needed.
Relax on the screened in porch and enjoy the sounds of surrounding nature.
