Oh so cozy and comfortable- with a very nice double-recliner couch. We are photographers, and this property was perfectly located to all locations in the GSMNP. The outdoor areas were super: hot tub, nice porch and a gazebo with fire pit overlooking the river. We agreed that this needed to be out go-to property for our Smokies retreats. A bonus for us was to work remotely using the available super-high-speed internet connection.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was actually more than we expected. We appreciated the little small things that you dont think about when you take off for a trip. Everything that we needed and more was in the cabin. Extremely clean and the response with any questions was always immediate. Thank you

Clean, comfortable, relaxing, felt like a home away from home. 10/10 would recommend for others and definitely planning another trip back soon. Did you happen to forget something? This sweet host had you covered! Great placement to be on the outside of all the crowds of people of Pigeon Forge and the strip of Gatlinburg but close enough to enjoy the place too. A BEAUTIFUL drive to get to both place through the mountains. If you stay go see Cades cove it has the best sights.

First off, communication with the host was great. She was always quick to respond when I had questions leading up to our stay. Also appreciated her reaching out when we hadn’t arrived yet. I told her we wouldn’t get in until midnight, so she had the house and exterior all lit up so we could see everything upon arrival. The house itself is new, very clean, nicely decorated, and fully stocked kitchen. Location to the cute town of Townsend was very convenient. The drive to Cades cove was 10-15 minutes. And Pigeon Forge was about 50 minutes. Overall, loved the area and peacefullness. Would definitely stay here again!
