The perfect little cozy cabin for our 5-night stay. Location was perfect for our daily excursions--- close to Cades Cove and not too far from Pigeon Forge. The host was very responsive and friendly! We would definitely book again if in the area.

Great Cabin
A cozy cabin situated among trees with a creek behind it. Both the front and back porches were great places to relax and enjoy the quiet. Grassy area in front was the perfect place to play catch with our kiddo. Cabin was clean, had a wonderful fireplace, and it had all we needed for a 5 day stay.
Look No Further!Very clean ,well kept ,comfortable beds for our 6 day stay celebrating our 50th Anniversary! Our Awesome cabin was very quiet, remote & decorated with rustic furnishings, yet still updated with many amenities like streaming programs on a large screen. TV and Super Great Wi-Fi. Plenty of towels, soaps & shampoo,laundry supplies! Travel Books to browse the area of attractions to visit ....or just stay in and be peacefully relaxed away from the hustle and bustle we came to escape. Our Host Jimmy was "Over The Top" in making our stay exceptional. Top Notch Host all the way.
Cozy cabin that is perfect for a couple or small family. Location is perfect and owner communication is top notch. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful place to rest after enjoying the park.
We lived staying in this cabin. It was so cozy and the perfect place to spend our thanksgiving in the mountains. Townsend is known as “The Peaceful Side” of the Smoky Mountains and it sure fit the bill. We made great memories and would rebook with this cabin. James the host did a wonderful job with communicating with us and setting up the perfect landing pad. We will be back!

Wish I knew about this spot
Place was Great for our trip. Easy drive to the Shed for a show. Will we stay here again YES ! Clean and comfortable. Very nice host, quiet location on the Peaceful Side.
The property we stayed at was very nice. Easy to get to. Quiet neighborhood.Had everythinwe needed for our stay. We would stay there again.Host was very friendly and communicated very well. It was a very good exerience.
This fully equipped cabin is in a perfect location, centrally located in Townsend. It was clean, cozy, comfortable, and in a very quiet area surrounded by huge trees. We didn't hear a peep from anyone nearby. The road is a little narrow (can't get two vehicles side by side up there. Pickup trucks are fine.) leading to the cabin but we had no problems getting up and down to the cabin and if someone was coming the other way, it was easy for one or the other to find a spot to pull to the side. The parking was right beside the cabin and plenty big enough for 2 large vehicles and still have room to turn around. Jimmy (the host) is awesome! He is so easy to work with and a genuinely nice guy. We had a momentary problem with the door number pad when we got there. I called him and he answered immediately. The problem was solved right away. It was probably this old gal and her technology challenges but Jimmy is too much of a gentleman to say so. I was very excited to find this cabin and felt very safe there. I'm hoping to visit again in the Fall and have a chance to try that beautiful fireplace! Thank you Jimmy! My son and I had a wonderful vacation break hiking the local trails while enjoying being spoiled by the comforts of Dove 257. Charlayne
We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The property was great for our kids to run off some energy and even put their feet in the water behind the cabin.
