About this property

This cozy cabin is tucked away on the peaceful side of the Great Smoky Mountains. We have created a comfortable yet beautiful space for you to enjoy and create lasting memories. You'll love the open floor plan and view out the main area windows. Enjoy the hot tub and wood burning fire place (seasonal) cuddled up with your loved ones. If you are looking for a quiet place to relax with friends and family, this place is for you.

The Space:
There are just a few steps to navigate from the driveway to the covered front porch. From the porch you walk into the main level which hosts the primary bedroom with a king size bed, bathroom, living room, kitchen, dining, large deck, screened in porch, grilling deck and the laundry room. Upstairs we have two beautifully decorated bedrooms (one king and one queen), and a full bathroom. There is also a cozy open loft that includes a twin daybed with a twin trundle, and a workstation with a monitor and common adaptors to plug in your laptop. On the bottom level there are three bunk beds (6 full-size beds) along with a ping pong table, foosball table, another full living room, large tv, and a retro gaming console. The kitchen is very well stocked to accommodate cooking for a large group. Numerous pots, pans, cooking utensils, waffle maker, instant pot, blender, and electric griddle makes it like cooking at home. There is an additional refrigerator/freezer in the main level laundry room to store all your groceries. We also have the following coffee/tea options: Nespresso, regular coffee pot, french press and an electric kettle. Our hot tub and hammock are located in a cozy setting on the lower deck.

A few details to note:
We are in a private community with some full time residents, to respect the neighborhood we keep the quiet hours of 10pm to 7am. The HOA does not allow any recreational vehicles or trailers in the driveway.

The area:
The Townsend area is preferred by many due to all the beautiful nature and lack of crowds you'll find in Gatlinburg. We are very conveniently located to the Smoky Mountains and some popular areas like Cades Cove and Tremont. There are several nearby creeks, rivers and of course hiking trails. The private mountain community is very safe and centrally located, just a couple miles off Hwy 321. We hope you truly enjoy your stay and make lasting memories! Feel free to reach out with any questions regarding the cabin and area.

Cozy and lovely ❤️

Staying at in this cabin was an absolute joy. We stayed there with another large family making our party 4 adults and 10 children. It was just perfect for our families. The built-in bunk beds were what drew my children in while we were looking and they absolutely loved them. The downstairs was perfect for them with games, toys, books and so much more. So cozy! The living areas were decorated so nicely with so many homey touches. Plenty of space to hang out and gather around the fireplace for conversation, movies and playing games. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would need for your stay. We cooked every breakfast and every dinner while we were there. Having the second fridge in the laundry room came in so handy for all our groceries. There was plenty of seating for all of us to gather and eat our meals together. The bedrooms were so nice and decorated to make you feel right at home. The beds were so comfy and they thought of everything to make your stay pleasant; laundry baskets, hangers in the closets, dressers to store your clothes. The bathrooms were fully stocked with plenty of towels, washcloths and extra bed linens. The view from the back decks was beautiful. The entire house was so nice and clean which was so much appreciated. I highly recommend staying here and would love to visit again. Thanks for such a wonderful stay and for thinking of everything we would need to make our stay go smoothly. We loved it and made so many great memories.

Townsend trip!

Townsend was a great little town - and the house (albeit on a very steep road - our only real "complaint") was perfect for our family of 11! The basement level was a dream for the 5 kiddos!! We had non-stop ping pong games going! Comfortable beds, sitting areas, and sufficient seating for meals! We had a slight issue, but the owner jumped on it quickly and it was resolved. Our only suggested change is to update to "brighter" lightbulbs as they burn out! :) The house is just down the road from the Townsend Visitor Center. Most of our activities took us outside of Townsend, but Cades Cove, Gatlinburg, and Pigeon Forge were all super close (all within 30-45 min drive). Enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend!!

About the host

Hosted by Kindahl

Our family lives in the East Tennessee valley area not far from these beautiful mountains. We find ourselves visiting often and wanting to stay longer. My kids really love playing in the near by creeks and exploring new trails. There are some great swimming holes that we frequent often as well. This cabin is a dream for us as a family and we hope you can enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We chose the Townsend area because we love its rural old town feel and it's closeness to the Great Smoky Mountains, Cades Cove, Foothills Parkway, Treemont, creeks and rivers. Pigeon Forge (30min) and Gatlinburg(45min) are close enough for day trips!
