Time Well Wasted was perfect for our needs. I would call it time well spent! It was clean, quiet and private. We loved the fact that it was at the end of the road, so no possibility of traffic. It was exactly what we hoped for, I would definitely stay there again.

We really enjoyed our stay. We had a bear cub on the deck our last full day in the cabin. It was a great place to disconnect from life’s business. We enjoyed the area, it’s about an hour to the different city’s. Something to mention, if you arrive after dark, is that the road to the cabin continues past the hilltop and other cabin. It threw us off the first time we arrived after dark. It felt like we were in the wrong place.

We love Townsend and enjoy this cabin, second time staying here. It is furnished with everything you might need. Cabin is very clean, and bed very comfortable. It backs up to the woods with a beautiful view, and we loved the porch. We enjoy Cades Cove and go there often. Apple Valley Cafe and Riverstone Restaurants are great restaurants in Townsend.

The cabin was fabulous. Away from everything. We had a little problem with accessing the key in the lock box but we managed. We had an issue with the faucet in the sink/laundry room but the owner addressed it immediately. We did meet the bear that likes to check out the back deck and grill and several others in the area!!!!Overall - AMAZING!!!
