Wonderful time in Townsend

We had a great week-long stay in the cabin. The cabin is secluded but only a few minutes away from the amenities in Townsend and the entrance to GSMNP. We'd definitely recommend that people stay on the "Peaceful Side of the Smokies" rather than being surrounded by the craziness of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.

Great Location Close to Cades Cove

Family of 3 with a 3 year old stayed for a week and appreciated the location and easy drive to Townsend, Cades Cove, and Gatlinburg. House was easy to find and the roads were easy to navigate. Overall satisfied with the accommodations, kitchen equipment, and fire ring seating that provides an awesome spot to enjoy the million dollar view. Shower is hilariously small, tub is freakishly big, and the linens definitely pop off the mattress every night...lol. Nevertheless, I would recommend this house for anyone with a small family or couple looking for a nice get away. Cheers!

Beautiful mountain cabin!

The owner was very attentive and answered any questions that I had promptly. Cabin was adorable. Loved building fires outside in the fire pit and watching the view. It was clean and very relaxing! Will definitely go again!

Peace & Quiet

I love the location its very peaceful and rural. This is my second time staying at this cabin and I'll probably go again. Only thing Id recommend is to clean the oven. I cooked the entire week I was there and I can smell it burning. Helene is always gracious!

Beautiful mountain get away

This is a beautiful little cabin, very quiet and secluded. Everything you need right there in the cabin. The only thing to critique is, the bed’s sheets would not stay on ever and popped off the entire night. It made it difficult to sleep well. We are hikers and are out all day so we like good sleep before heading out on our next adventure. We would love to stay here again.

Peace & Quiet

I loved the peace and quiet when I was there. Gorgeous mountain view and the hot tub enhanced this. The cabin is decent sized especially for one person and their pet. Host Helene was awesome she was always courteous before and after the trip. Definitely recommend will probably go again!

Lovely little cabin!

The location is gorgeous and accommodations are cozy and comfortable!! Our kids loved the zip line and fire pit. After spending a day in Pigeon Forge and Gaitlinburg, Townsend was right up our alley. It has just enough to keep a family entertained without the ridiculous crowds and traffic. We will definitely recommend your cabin and property to friends and family passing through the Smokies.

Peaceful Cabin

The cabin is wonderfully located. Very clean and very pleasant. The master bed was very comfortable. The upstairs bed did squeak a bit, but not so much as to bother anybody. I would definitely rent this cabin again.

Anniversary Trip

Property was as advertised. Clean and nice. Shower was a bit small, but did not take anything away from our trip. We look forward to staying there again. The view of the sunrise was spectacular. It is a stones throw from Townsend. It was very convenient and quiet.

The views...........

I went there planning on hiking a lot, I loved the house and porch overlooking the mountains so much I relaxed more than planned. It is a perfect setting. There is 2 houses on the "lot", it's a big lot and the other family didn't interrupt my peace, but it's not 100 percent a solo land if you hate people haha. The views are perfect though. Great location.

Quiet getaway to the mountains

My family loved staying in Helene’s cabin for a vacation in the Smokies. It was quiet and felt secluded. The view was beautiful from the front porch and the big upstairs windows. Everything was clean and well stocked. We used the hot tub and had some great meals after full days outside. The cabin is a good size for a family of four. This is the first time we stayed in the Townsend area and we would definitely return.
