This cabin was very convenient to get to and very well kept. They had some of the extras provided that other rentals don't usually have and it made the stay even that much better. What I like the most was how spacious it wat and the layout was very well planned. All in all a great place and I would definitely rent it again.

The cabin was awesome. Very nice, comfortable, and clean. Plenty of room and just a short walk to get on the paved trail that runs through Townsend. Communication was excellent with the host. Check in and out was a breeze. The driveway and parking was pretty much flat which was important to us because we brought our motorcycle with us. Will definitely rent this cabin again the next time we stay in Townsend.

Nice clean cabin with a 4 person hot tub, free wifi, a king, queen, and 2 twin beds. Everything we wanted to do was all with in 10 minutes. Great if you’re looking to get away from the “touresty” part of Tennessee and enjoy the river and small shops. Right in the Bike Trail. The hosts were friendly and very communicative and they don’t have any crazy requests of guests. I feel like they were there when I needed them (not that I did, but the security is good!). I would stay here again.

The place was very clean and a great layout. Everything you need from the kitchen, to laundry, to entertainment is included. The hot tub was great and the bike path was a nice proximity. Location was great for accessing the park, Gaitlinburg, etc but quiet and away from the touristy areas.
