About this property

Tennessee's Finest Smoky Mountain Vacation Rental Getaway!

Our beautiful white cedar cabin is perched over the rolling hills of Townsend, Tennessee, offering an unmatched view of the Smoky Mountains. This Smoky Mountain getaway is perfect for sharing with friends and family alike for a wonderful, relaxing time away from the daily grind. The view from the deck is unmatched.

With proximity to the unique shopping and attractions offered in historic Gatlinburg (just 24 miles), as well as the big-city allure of Knoxville (just 30 miles), this is truly the perfect location to experience the best of it all. If your goal is to get away from all the hustle and bustle, without straying too far from modern comforts, our cozy cabin is absolutely ideal. Scenic Cades Cove with babbling brooks and teeming with wildlife - you may see bears!! is less than 3 miles away. Wedding venues such as The Barn are less than 4 miles away. Pigeon Forge a mere 20 minute drive away for plenty of entertainment options for adults and families alike.

The house was really great for our family of 6 adults. There were only a couple of minor issues. The bathtub in the master bath did not drain well. The sheets on our bed might be ready to be retired b/c the elastic did not keep the fitted sheet on the bed. But really, overall, it was a great stay!

The host was very easty to contact. The house was absolutley beautiful and spacious. Full stocked kitchen. Very clean. Beautiful view outside. Watched a squirrel helping himself to the birdseed in the birdfeeder. Super cute! There were several of us getting ready to attend a wedding so the only thing I found needed was a mirror in the upstairs bedroom. A little something extra for us ladies. :) Other than that I have nothing but great things to say about this amazing place and would highly recommend others to stay here!

The pictures can’t do it justice as the views are ever-changing and spectacular as the sun hits the mountains from different angles. A little visit to heaven each time we come! Townsend has great eating establishments and an excellent supermarket, so we have no problem staying well-fed. The hiking is just the best, so many trails nearby from which to choose. Thans again!

Why they chose this property

Great smoky Mountain location.

What makes this property unique

The view from the deck is unsurpassed in the area and the deck is the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee or glass of wine. Having lived in Florida so long, we really enjoy that we can enjoy all 4 seasons at the cabin. Townsend is on the "quiet side" of the mountain yet close enough to Knoxville, Gatlinburg, and Pigeon Forge to enjoy the "touristy" stuff and then come back to the cabin for relaxation and family time.
