We loved our time at the Redbud Retreat - as other reviewers have mentioned, the cabin is very clean and well stocked! Great for hanging out to watch for animals and fireflies, as well as easy in/out for outings at Smoky Mountains Park, zip lining, mountain coasters, river tubing, etc. Would definitely stay here again!

If you are looking for a family-friendly cabin, Redbud Retreat would be the perfect place for your vacation. We were extremely happy with the outlay of the cabin; each room was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well organized - so helpful to know where everything is stored. The location was great - close to everything - especially the Great Smoky Mountains - we love to hike!! Grandchildren loved the ping pong table and games that were available. Our communications with Jo were great - she responded in a timely manner. Overall - we highly recommend that you check this cabin out - we truly believe that you will not be disappointed.

Cabin had everything we need for my husband and I and 2 adult children to enjoy the long Memorial Day weekend. It was clean, well-stocked, and easy to access nearby attractions. Jo was very responsive to the one question we had while we were there. We even got to see 3 bears from the porch while enjoying the hot tub! We would definitely stay here again!

This was our second stay here and it's still just as awesome as the first time. The house is really nice with a well stocked kitchen. Everything in the kitchen is labeled making it easy to find what you need. The basement has plenty of games to keep everyone busy. We didn't use the hot tub this round. The bears were still very active around the house so keep the vehicles locked and do not leave food in them. The cabin is tucked away on a dead end street so very peaceful with very little vehicle traffic. Always love staying here and can't wait to go back. Best place we have stayed out of all the short term rentals we have done.

The property was ideal accommodations for our three generation, eight member family trip. The cabin was clean and comfortable and the host responded quickly to questions asked prior to the trip. Labeled cabinets and lighting was quite helpful throughout the cabin. My only issue was more with Vrbo's reservation listing, as it read that all fees were included, however, once going into the reservation process, there were additional fees.

Great property!

This was probably the cleanest VRBO we've stayed in. The basement game are was great for the kids, and the hot tub was great after a full day hiking. The location was easy to get to, and the golf course community was quiet and safe.

We found the house to be very clean and cozy. It was especially nice to have the downstairs area. We used the ping pong table, and the tv. We were there for a family wedding, so we did not spend much time at the house, but we still enjoyed it all the same!

Amazing Place!

This is our 2nd family vacation to The Great Smoky Mountains and we absolutely loved it. Redbud Retreat kept us so comfortable. Everything was so well organized and easy for us. We will definitely be coming to this place again and I will remember to bring my golf clubs!

We had an amazing stay!! The host was very responsive to our questions and the cabin far exceeded our expectations. They thought of everything and the sweet welcome treat was a nice touch. We want to come back and stay longer next time. This is our new go to spot when visiting Townsend. I now see why it has a perfect 5.0 rating. Everything was labeled which made it easy to find what you need. The spaces were comfortable and perfect for our stay. We even took advantage of the golf course. Check in was a breeze and the selection of games and entertainment made us not even want to leave.

Awesome Getaway

The cabin was amazing. It was clean and very well decorated. The welcome book was a really nice touch. Loved how it had information about the cabin and what was expected for check out. We really liked that everything in the kitchen was labeled. The cabin is in a very active bear community. If you're looking to see bears and other wildlife this is the place for you. We found deer, turkey, and bears used the small patch of woods behind the cabin to get around daily. Everyone loved the stay and we can't wait to get back.

Daughter’s wedding

The home was just as advertised, it was perfect for my family of 6. I would definitely recommend it and return myself. I never had to even talk to the host because they were so good at getting me the information to access the home and there were no issues during our stay.
