Perfect getaway for the two of us. The cabin is tucked in with a few others, residents I believe, but there were no issues with that. We loved the cabin.

Very clean and kitchen supplied with plenty of cooking equipment and dishware. Loved the gas log and porch. Layout of cabin was a bit awkward as you have to walk through master bedroom and bathroom to get to second bathroom, but it worked ok for us. Our stay did not include a winery experience.

Peaceful vacation we needed

We stayed for a week in this cozy cabin. Easy entrance into the Smoky Mountain National Park, with very little traffic. The host’s attention to detail was perfect and made for a relaxing vacation. The cabin was close to really great restaurants and grocery stores. Highlight was watching bears walk by the cabin in the evening. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

Back for a second year

This was our second visit to Mountain Rest and I’m in the process of making another reservation for next year. It may be the cleanest place we have ever rented and it’s situated nicely in the woods.

Mountain Dreams was a Dream

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Mountain Dreams! The place was super clean, and had all the amenities we needed. We also loved all the extra touches! Location was perfect - very easy to get to. We had no problem driving the hill with a minivan, and we were able to turn around in the driveway and parking space with no problem. The layout is a little different, but it wasn’t an issue going through the bathroom to get to the second bedroom since it was just my son and I. The full size washer and dryer were great! We also loved sitting on the porch in the rockers, and the sofa and recliner were super comfy! We would LOVE to stay here again whenever we’re in Townsend!

Hi! My name is Jo Carpenter and I am so happy to meet you! I have been managing properties since 2015 and absolutely love it and my customers ! I sorta stumbled into this profession after leaving "corporate America" and venturing out into the unknown with my wonderful husband and business partner - but I must say I wouldn't trade it for a minute! A good day for me is a satisfied and happy guest! A great day for me is a return guest! I will do anything I possibly can to help you make your stay with us one for the memory books! If you are celebrating something special - please reach out and let me know how I can help you make it fabulous! If you need groceries picked up from Kroger and delivered to the cabin before your arrival - please let me know. We want to earn your business and your trust. I am local and very responsive - I can be reached anytime by phone or the VRBO app. I am a short 20 minute drive to the cabin and I am typically in the area every single day. I hope you have an incredible stay with us and I look forward to hearing from you soon !
