This was our first time staying in the Townsend area and it was great. The cabin is really nice and we were very pleased with it. The hot tub was clean and we enjoyed using it a couple of times. The only issue we had was the grill had mold on the grate and we weren't able to grill our steaks (a minor inconvinience in our overall stay.) I would not have an issue with renting this cabin again.

Great place to stay

This cabin is perfect for our group to get away for the weekend. We bring our motorcycles to the mountains to ride and this cabin has the perfect parking for the trucks, trailer, and bikes. It’s very clean, well maintained and we love staying here. We’ll be back next year!

The cabin was beautiful....it provided plenty of space and had all the atmosphere that me my wife and kids were looking for! We enjoyed our stay and loved the convenience of stores, places to eat and Gatlinburg being just a few minutes away. I would definitely book this place again.

A Beautiful Getaway

We love this wonderful cabin. The directions owners gave us directions that were easy to follow. The cabin is spacious and beautifully furnished. At the beginning of our stay the owners checked in with us to see if everything to see if everything was as should be.

Great family cabin

We took our son and his family(wife and 2 girls) and the cabin was perfect for us. We stayed in the downstairs bedroom and his family had the whole upstairs with plenty of room and beds for everyone. Wonderful large deck with hot tub and plenty of seating and room for everyone. Online pictures and description are very accurate.

Wonderful cabin and hostess

The cabin is spacious, -- very nice master bedroom on the first floor and roomy second floor loft. The kitchen facilities were perfect and the main room has ample and comfortable seating and a perfect tv for watching football. The best was the communication with the owner / hostess. Prompt and quite friendly and efficient.

Beautiful and Clean

This cabin met all of our expectations. It was beautiful and spacious. Very clean and beautifully decorated. It was in a quiet gated community. I loved the hot tub! We grilled and enjoyed the fireplace. I highly recommend this cabin. The owners were very easy to work with, and checked on us by text.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL and super clean

It’s a little farther than we normally stay. But just 15 minutes to the strip . But it’s the cleanest cabin I ever stayed in. Everything was wonderful. Literally the only thing missing was a washing and dryer I give it an 98% !! We will rent again from them :)

Check-in process was smooth, communication with the host was easy and quick to respond. Parking is right outside the door for easy loading and unloading. Hot tub was clean and in a covered patio. Cozy woodsy feel inside and out. Very clean property. Only downside for us was the washer/dryer were in a separate room under the main cabin that you had to walk outside and down a hill to access the facilities. Thermostat was "locked" to cool and we wanted heat due to the cooler outside temperatures making the cabin chilly. However, the host did make it so we could adjust it after texting to ask. Would stay again if the need to stay in the area came about. Do not follow Waze to access the cabin.

The easiest VRBO booking I've done!

We booked last minute to stay a few days in the mountains. Booking was easy, check in was easy, and the space was amazing! Everything was very clean and ready to go. The space worked perfect for us as my in laws stayed downstairs and my husband and the kids stayed upstairs in the loft. The upstairs was so neat how it was all open and had plenty of bed and closet space. The hot tub was perfect for evening time and the pool was a small walk and we had it to ourselves the whole trip. The cabin is just outside the city in Townsend and we fell in love with Wears Valley and all the shops and scenery there on our drives to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We would absolutely rent here again!

Fall trip to the Smokies 2023

The property was well appointed clean and crisp. Perfect for a fall visit to Townsend. The cabin was equipped with everything we needed. Beds slept great, fireplace was awesome and the outside jacuzzi was beautiful with the night lights around the railing. We did not utilize the jacuzzi due to the cold weather but it was ready if we needed it. Alice promptly provide all checkin instructions prior to our arrival and made it a breeze to get settled. Checkout instructions were clearly posted and easy to follow. We had a great time and highly recommend this cabin. Will will try and book it for our next visit.
