My husband stayed here for 5 days and had a wonderful time. The view and property are beautiful and peaceful. The house was spotless but some of the furniture in the basement was a bit worn and outdated. The pool table was solid however some of the cushions need replacing. The kitchen was very well stocked and the upstairs is stunning. Beds were comfortable. The deck was great. We saw bears every day! Would definitely come back.

A Good Vacation

The property was excellent for our needs as an extended family. The kitchen was the most well stocked kitchen of any vacation rental we have ever stayed in. The owner was very communicative and was honest about how close the bears would come. All and all, a great vacation.

Fantastic Stay in Townsend

We had a fantastic stay at this cabin home! The home was just as described and had everything we needed and more. There was a lot of bear activity on the property while we were there, and the location to activities was a short drive away. The mountain view from the deck could be even more beautiful with some tree branch trimming, but we would definitely consider staying here again when visiting Tennessee.

Dream vacation

Me and the family were excited for our 1st family vacation in the mountains, and this place did not disappoint. The place was amazing, very clean and felt like home. Had tons of fun playing ping pong, shooting pool, and enjoying the hot tub as well as getting to see snow. The next time we go to Tennessee for vacation, we will definitely be staying here again.

About the host

Hosted by Jim & Lisa

Host profile image
Jim and Lisa
We are high school sweet hearts who have found the secret to making it work! Faith, Truth, and Time together, Quality Time! 46 years since our first date, oh yea and most importantly laying our lives down for each other! We have a passion for the beauty of our loving Fathers creation! Hiking, fishing, biking, photography, and classic cars are some of our other joys. Our very busy schedule, 2 adult sons and a daughter plus 3 grand babies keep us hopping! We also Shepherd two rural churches in Middle Tennessee. As the OWNERS of "Campfire Lodge" we know how important it is to have a place of PEACE and REST where the whole family can come and the kids can run.

Why they chose this property

Lisa and I have hiked many of the trails in the Smoky''s, most all the water falls. We do enjoy the shopping and attractions near by in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, but this area, Townsend and Wears Valley has a different pace. Lisa has always called these "Her Mountains", even the drive in is so beautiful and NO traffic! We fell in love with this property when we first drove up the road. The unexpected 2 acre pond (across the road) was a photographers bonus. Thanks to Papa! Now, we would like to invite you to come and rest a little too!

What makes this property unique

"Campfire Lodge" is spacious, 3000' plus, but as we looked for a home here we desired three things. First, it had to have a view. Second, when the crew gets together there is at least 3 big trucks and a couple cars. so parking was a must.Thirdly, when my grandson arrived today he asked, "where is the dirt?" his toys needed dirt to move! kids need a place they can just run! All this and 5 acres with some private hiking trails. Did I say wildlife......Reminder....Its AGAINST the Law to FEED the Bears
