Host profile image
We are new hosts and just went live with VRBO as of May, 2020!!
I grew up in East Tennessee and Shannon is from Hugo, Oklahoma. We live in Nashville, Tennessee and have four kids (five) ages 23, 21, and twin 10 year olds, plus Smoky, our 5 year old beagle. We bought this property in February of 2018, and it has been our dream to own a cabin in the mountains! We enjoy hiking, scuba diving, and boating. We love the many hiking trails that’s just a short drive from the cabin and are constantly checking each one off our list but have many more to go. This place is very special to us and we hope you find it special too!

Why they chose this property

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited national park in the United States. The Park has more than 800 square miles of hiking trails across North Carolina and Tennessee. We are in Townsend, Tennessee, the quiet side of the Smokies. Townsend has some fantastic yet quaint restaurants and shops, a grocery store, as well as an outdoor center that has bikes, paddle boards, rafting, and outdoor gear. We are just minutes from Dollywood Theme Park and the many shops and eateries of Pigeon Forge. If your looking for putt putt golf, go carts, or abundant shopping, Pigeon Forge has it all! If you like something a little quieter, the 20 mile drive along the Little River to Gatlinburg contains some of the most spectacular scenery in the southeastern United States. A short 13 mile drive is Cades Cove, the single most popular destination in The Park. Popular for its scenic mountain views, preserved homesteads of Appalachian life, and abundant display of wildlife. Looking due south off the deck are breathtaking views of the 5,527 foot peak of Thunderhead Mountain which marks the border of Tennessee and North Carolina. Along its summit is the iconic Appalachian Trail, one of the many hiking trails easily accessible from the cabin. We are centrally and conveniently located to all The Great Smoky Mountains have to offer!

What makes this property unique

The view here truly is breathtaking! Our elevation is 1,742’ so you can sit on the deck or porch swing and take in the incredible scenery while only minutes from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.
