Great location and great layout for the cabin. View was gorgeous- would be even better with some serious tree trimming, especially on the western sunset side off the master porch.

Beautiful and secluded, away from the hustle and bustle of Gatlinburg and only a 5 minute roll down the hill to all that Townsend has to offer (which is a lot and easily accessible, even during a busy October weekend). Overall, a great base camp for exploring the park and area.Amazing views of the smokies. We saw a black bear and bobcat cross the yard during our stay!

Private

Loved the cabin! The location on private acreage so nice. Good view. Enjoyed sitting on the back screened in porch smelling the mimosa blooms, listening to the Chuck wills widow night birds. Memorable vacation! We even saw a big shiny black bear in the driveway when heading out to the cove. Awesome!

Beautiful, quiet property

We loved our stay here and would love to stay again. Communication with Christine was seamless and the house was well stocked with everything we needed. There is a small IGA in town but we didn't need to go since we carried a lot in. The view was very nice and it was fun to watch the fog dissipate in the morning. Hiking at GSMNP was close and we especially enjoyed Middle Prong trail. Thank you for a wonderful get-away!

Is this what heaven is like? Such an amazing home and we were thankful to stay there! No detail was spared! Single lane road that you must scale using low gear, but once there? No less than wonderful! We had a bit of trouble with the front door, but Christine responded very quickly with help! Thanks for everything! We loved our stay!
