About this property

McDaniel's Misty Blue ~ Cozy & Quaint Cabin w/ Exceptional Smoky Mountain Views

  • McDaniel's Misty Blue – Your Peaceful Smoky Mountain Escape

    Looking for the perfect place to relax, recharge, and experience the beauty of the Smoky Mountains? Welcome to McDaniel's Misty Blue, a charming cabin nestled in the heart of Townsend—known as the Peaceful Side of the Smokies. Just minutes from the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, you'll enjoy the perfect balance of adventure and tranquility.
    Upon arrival, you'll appreciate the spacious parking area with room for up to four vehicles. Step inside to an inviting open-concept living room, dining area, and fully equipped kitchen, thoughtfully designed for spending quality time together.

    Down the hallway, you'll find the comfortable primary bedroom featuring a plush king-size bed and a sliding glass door leading directly to the back deck. Slip into the brand-new hot tub after a day of hiking, tubing, or exploring the Smokies, and let your worries melt away. The main-level bathroom is conveniently located next to the bedroom and features a walk-in shower.

    Traveling with another couple or friends? The second king bedroom offers added privacy with its own exterior entrance. Please note that this bedroom is not accessible from inside the main level of the cabin. Guests must access it by walking outside and down the back steps or around the side of the cabin. Because of this layout, it may not be the best fit for families with small children. This private suite also includes its own full bathroom with a tub/shower combination.
    The fully stocked kitchen has everything you'll need to prepare meals during your stay, and the gas grill on the back deck makes outdoor cooking a breeze. In the evenings, curl up by the cozy fireplace with a good book, enjoy a family game night with our selection of puzzles and cards, or stream your favorite shows using the Smart TVs and complimentary Wi-Fi.

    At McDaniel's Misty Blue, we want your vacation to be unforgettable. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, planning a romantic getaway, or simply escaping the everyday, we're happy to help make your stay even more memorable. Just let us know how we can add a little extra magic.
    We look forward to welcoming you and hope McDaniel's Misty Blue becomes your favorite Smoky Mountain getaway—one you'll return to year after year.

Great Experience and Great Place to Stay

Wonderful area to stay in. Spent most of our time in the Smoky Mountains Park, but also spent some time in Townsend. It has a great small railroad museum, hiking trails and wine tasting. Very nice cabin and very clean. Would be happy to spend time here again, if back in the area.

Me and my friends were in town for a bachelor trip and found this cabin just far away enough from the hustle and bustle so we could enjoy the evenings and mornings. We were so impressed with the view, cleanliness and hospitality that we experienced! Definitely would book again

The neighborhood was absolutely beautiful and the cabin had amazing views. The drive up to the cabin was fairly easy especially if you do it the 1st time during the day. We saw turkeys but unfortunately didnt see any bears.

Wonderful cabin retreat

We loved our return trip to this cabin, so nice. Views of Laurel Valley are hard to beat. Grounds are nice - good-sized level parking off-street. Newer well-built 3 level deck with hot tub just add to the fantastic views. Plenty of seating inside and the internet/TV's worked great. Kitchen stocked with utensils. Plenty of Bed pillows. Hope to return again!

Fantastic view on the Peaceful Side of the Smokies

My husband and I celebrated our honeymoon in the Smokies and the Misty Blue cabin was the icing on the wedding cake. The cabin had everything we needed for a quiet, relaxing vacation. The location was easy to get to, the neighborhood was exceptionally quiet (with bear sightings!), and the views from the deck and living room are incredible. The cabin was clean, the main bed comfy, and the kitchen was equipped enough to do a bit of cooking while we were there. Fabulous place to stay and we will definitely return.

Peace and quite in the Smokies

A stunning always changing. Very peaceful and tranquil. Two lovely places to sit outside one on the full sun and one in the shade and if it’s too cold inside. Rather a steep drive to get to the property but we got used it to after a couple of goes

Amazing view

The view was amazing. We enjoyed our stay here. We like the quieter side of the Smokey mountains and this place gave us just that. We spent time just sitting on the deck and enjoying the weather and view. The kitchen was stocked with cookware to enjoy meals at the cabin. The only complaints we have is the lighting in the bathroom is very dim and lack of a sharp kitchen knife. Other than that it was perfect. Would recommend this cabin. We would definitely stay here again .

Beautiful view

Beautiful view, we love Townsend because its very quiet and not very busy. The river is just a short drive away. Cabin has lots of room and and you can count on a visit from rabbits, birds,squirrels and yes 🐻. Drive up to cabin is up and up,but easy to get to. We have stayed 4 times and loved every time. We had a bit of a problem with door lock this time, but called Jo and she got us in. We will be back .

Misty Blue

This was our first family vacation to the mountains, and my moms very first time ever going. We absolutely loved the cabin. It was very clean, and beautiful. The view from the back deck is amazing. You get a clear view of the mountains. It was close to the foot hills and Cades cove. I strongly recommend anyone to pick this cabin for your stay. You won’t be disappointed I promise!! We look forward to coming back in the future.

Misty Blue

We had a wonderful time at McDaniel's Misty Blue. OMGosh, the pictures of the views really don't do it justice. It is about as close to heaven as a person could be. We love the Smoky Mountains and have stayed in North Carolina too. I was a little concerned about visiting bears from the previous couple, but we didn't actually have any. The cabin was super cozy, and the bed very comfortable. The only issue I had was that the bathroom is very dim. I had to go from the bathroom to bedroom to get ready. We would definitely go back, and have already told our friends about it!

Lovin the quiet side

We picked this spot because our first trip to the Smokey’s was on the Pigeon Forge side which has more crowds. The Townsend side has plenty to offer but way more enjoyable and quiet. Faster access to Cades and Foothills Pkwy. The cabin was as described in the reviews and we enjoyed our stay. Views from the deck and family room were spectacular. Plenty of recliners to kick back and relax. Gas grill was nice. If you stay here more than a few nights bring extra TP and dishwasher pellets since you only get 2 rolls and 2 pellets. Also bring ice - the filtered water tap off to side of sink tasted good but ice had an off taste. If you are a foodie definitely make reservations at the Dancing Bear Bistro - amazing. Explored the local caverns. Drove the Tail of the Dragon- saw Fontana dam. Finally got to see the view Clingmans Dome after many failed attempts. A wonderful experience.
