The cabin was perfect for a family getaway for all ages in our party. It was centrally located to everything we had scheduled and good restaurants. The place was super clean as well! Would definitely stay here again!

Everything about the property was just wonderful and just as stated. It was very easy to find and very convenient.I think our favorite thing was the big wrap around porch. I hope it will be available next year for the Dancing Bear Bike Bash!

We love the Painted Door cabins! This is our second time staying at one of them (first one was the green door). The location is perfect -- so close to the park. And the hot tub was a real treat after a long hike in the park.Our only suggestion is about the thermostat. Maybe clearer directions about how to adjust? It was VERY cold in the cabin when we arrived -- uncomfortably cold -- and it took several hours for the cabin to warm up to a comfortable temperature. But overall a wonderful place to stay! We will be back!

Family Vacation

The Blue Door Cabin provided space for our family to enjoy each other's company. We were able to gather for family meals, fun activities, and have some quiet time. We liked spending time on the porch. It was a very enjoyable stay.

Perfect for family gathering

Our large family rented the Blue Door Cabin as well as the Yellow and Green Door Cabins for a family vacation. They were perfect for our large family with 5 kids under 4! The porch on the Blue Door Cabin is the star of the show with lots of seating areas and a large screened in porch. We loved our stay!

A wonderful cabin that fits a big family. Amazing location. We loved the outdoor swing bed in the screen in porch and the firepit.One point of improvement: there was not enough cutlery, plates, bowls, chairs for everyone. We were 7 people and the cabin is a sleep 8-10.

Perfect!

Everything was well kept and clean, property was easy to get to in Townsend right off of the main parkway through town, but still felt private. Situated within a short drive to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg and Cades Cove, it is a great place to stay for a weekend or extended vacation in the Smokies. Absolute gem!

Loved the property. Perfect for us, except for neighbors dog that barked continually. Could not sit on porch and enjoy the quietness. Other than that, the property was very nice.

Private, yet close to town.

Very nice cabin, had all of the features we were looking for. Plenty of room with 3 bedrooms plus the downstairs was akin to an entire suite all by itself. My only negative was no laundry supplies so left some for future visitors. Would definitely book again.

We booked for our annual Maryville College best-friends-since-1985 girls’ trip, and the Blue Door Cabin was perfect! The location was so convenient to everything yet felt like we were deep in the woods. We even saw a large bear walk by soon after we arrived! Such a treat! The kitchen was well equipped for cooking dinner, brunch, and snacks, and we enjoyed sitting out on the screened in porch as we dined and visited with each other. The host had left very detailed instructions about everything, so check in/out, WiFi connections, TVs, etc, was very simple. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were very clean. We brought firewood for the firepit and bathing suits for the hot tub, but the cabin was so cozy, we never even ventured out. We had planned to go out for dinner one night, but we were having so much fun there, we decided to just stay in. I highly recommend this peaceful side of the Smokies—and specifically the Blue Door Cabin—for your next family or friend vacation. I hope to be back very soon.
