About this property

McDaniels Misty Blue ~ A Cozy & Quaint Cabin w/Exceptional Smoky Mountain Views

Looking for a special place in the Smoky Mountains to relax and unwind? McDaniels Misty Blue is that place ! Located in the heart of Townsend and minutes from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Our spacious parking area will easily accommodate 4 cars comfortably. Enter the front door of the cabin and walk into our open concept living room, dining room and kitchen areas. A short walk down the hall and you will find our master bedroom with a super comfy King size bed and a sliding door that opens to the deck and our brand-new hot tub! Next door to the master bedroom is the main level bathroom with a jetted tub and shower option available.

Want to bring along friends? No problem! We have a second bedroom downstairs with its own private entrance. The downstairs bedroom cannot be accessed within the main level of the cabin, you must go outside and down the back stairs or walk around the side of the cabin to enter. (This would NOT be a good choice for small children). The downstairs bedroom offers a King size bed and a full-size futon. Included is a private bathroom with a tub/shower combo. We also offer smart TV's and Wi-Fi for streaming.

Our fully equipped kitchen comes with all the accessories you will need to prepare meals and we do have a gas grill on the back deck as well. We have puzzles and cards if you elect to stay in with a cozy fire. If there is something extra that we can do to make your stay more magical, please don't hesitate to reach out and let us know as we want you to love McDaniel's Misty Blue and come back year after year.

Another wonderful visit

This was our 2nd stay at Misty Blue and already planning for next year. The grass was a little high but not a problem at all for us. I understand with the daily showers we had. No complaints there either. The view is beyond explanation and the hot tub was nice. Misty Blue holds all the accommodations we need for a comfortable and relaxing stay.

Great cabin with amazing view

The cabin was clean, had everything we’d need to make our stay feel like home. I actually wish we had spent more time enjoying the property, but the surrounding area was great too. We will definitely be back to Misty Blue or one of Jo’s other properties as soon as we can. I only wish it was a little shorter drive.

Place was easy to get to, beautiful view and wonderful cabin. Only downfall was the 2nd bedroom was only accessible from the outside, which wasn’t a huge deal but different.

Peace and quite in the Smokies

A stunning always changing. Very peaceful and tranquil. Two lovely places to sit outside one on the full sun and one in the shade and if it’s too cold inside. Rather a steep drive to get to the property but we got used it to after a couple of goes

Fantastic view on the Peaceful Side of the Smokies

My husband and I celebrated our honeymoon in the Smokies and the Misty Blue cabin was the icing on the wedding cake. The cabin had everything we needed for a quiet, relaxing vacation. The location was easy to get to, the neighborhood was exceptionally quiet (with bear sightings!), and the views from the deck and living room are incredible. The cabin was clean, the main bed comfy, and the kitchen was equipped enough to do a bit of cooking while we were there. Fabulous place to stay and we will definitely return.

Great views

We stayed for our daughter’s wedding in Gatlinburg. The place is very clean and beautiful with plenty of room. The separate downstairs was great for our son. The view of the mountain is awesome. We loved the location not to far from downtown Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge but away from all the traffic. The host Jo answered my text with a question real quick. We will be visiting again. Thank you Jo for a great place to stay.

Amazing view

The view was amazing. We enjoyed our stay here. We like the quieter side of the Smokey mountains and this place gave us just that. We spent time just sitting on the deck and enjoying the weather and view. The kitchen was stocked with cookware to enjoy meals at the cabin. The only complaints we have is the lighting in the bathroom is very dim and lack of a sharp kitchen knife. Other than that it was perfect. Would recommend this cabin. We would definitely stay here again .

Beautiful view

Beautiful view, we love Townsend because its very quiet and not very busy. The river is just a short drive away. Cabin has lots of room and and you can count on a visit from rabbits, birds,squirrels and yes 🐻. Drive up to cabin is up and up,but easy to get to. We have stayed 4 times and loved every time. We had a bit of a problem with door lock this time, but called Jo and she got us in. We will be back .

Simply amazing

Everything about this place is spot on!!! Location- perfect. Outside the hustle bustle but close enough where it’s not a pain to get there. View- can’t get better It was very clean and Jo is great she answers every question you got. Thanks for making my wife’s Birthday week a success. Such a great place. Thanks for the puzzle. It gave me something to do in the morning while looking at the mountains while my wife slept. We will definitely be back.
