This is a beautiful cabin in a wonderful location! It is very close to the main road in Townsend and thus about as close as one can stay near Cades Cove, and yet it is isolated on a hill with no other residences visible when in the cabin or on the spacious porch.

Loved the cabin. It was spacious and clean and had plenty of privacy. It was up the hill by itself which we were super glad we didn’t have immediate neighbors. The hot tub was great, the fireplace, and fire pit area was nice as well. The cabin provided several necessities as well.

Beautiful mountain cabin

This was our 2nd stay this year in this amazing cabin. Its in a great location - peaceful with gorgeous views. The cabin itself is spacious, equipped with everything you need and spotlessly clean. Has a great wrap-around porch with hot tub, picnic table and rocking chairs to enjoy a relaxing evening. Derek was also a great host!

We enjoyed our stay very much. everything was very, clean, nicely decorated and provided everything we needed. Comfortable beds, great showers and cozy set up. We hiked Spruce Flats Falls, toured Tuckaleechee Caverns, visited Dollywood and played Hillbilly Putt Putt in Gatlinburg. I was so tired and sore that the hot tub was a real savior! We saw a black bear outside the cabin, which our kids throughly enjoyed! Close access to many activities. Bring a swimsuit because no store in Townsend sells them!
