We had a great stay at the Yellow Door Cabin in Townsend. Clean, comfortable, and convenient location near Cades Cove. We enjoyed the space and the hot tub was great to use after hiking, walking and bike riding during the time we were there. We would definitely come back ourselves and would recommend for a couple or small family to stay!

Cabin was exactly as described. The location was perfect and close to activities, dining, and exploring but still tucked away from the highway and traffic.

Great little cabin with everything you need for a clean comfortable stay near Cades Cove in the Smokies. After a day of hiking you gotta love relaxing on the front porch swing or soaking in the hot tub on the back porch!

The cabin was clean and cute. The host was very helpful and answered all questions quickly. It’s location is perfect for accessing Gatlinburg, Pegeon Forge and the Smokey Mountain National Park when you prefer to stay in a less touristy part of the Smokey’s

The location of this cabin is perfect if you’re heading into GSMNP! It really cannot be beat, especially if you’re looking to avoid the crowds of Gatlinburg. It also has really nice blinds on all the windows that helped our one year old be able to take a nap during the day. Host was very communicative. Check in and check out were very easy too.

This was by far my favorite! We enjoyed it! We did have a snag when we arrived and the property had not been cleaned but communication was great and someone was out asap and the owner made it right. We were satisfied, I will definitely be staying here in the future!

Great stay! It is difficult to find a cabin that has some semblance of privacy. This cabin is private. The back porch is nice and dim. The shower head needs changed. It would have been amazing to have had a high pressure or pain shower. I also was excited to find a cotton blend blanket. I can’t sleep with plastic sheets or covers and some rentals have pure poly covers. Not here. Wonderful stay and would return!

Yellow Door cabin is a very cute and clean place to stay in Townsend. It is the perfect size for a weekend getaway. Nicely furnished, fully functional heat and air, good water pressure and very clean. Overall a great location-- 25 minutes to Gatlinburg, 20 minutes to Cades Cove, 20 minutes to Maryville. Close to the Foothills Parkway as well. Owners communicated things we needed to know very well. Highly recommend!
