Peaceful Side of the Smokies
My family and I loved staying in this beautiful cabin and hope to come back in the future! The cabin was clean and cozy. Check-in and out went very smoothly. Townsend is called the Peaceful Side of the Smokies for good reason. My family and I definitely preferred having a calm retreat at the end of the day, instead of the bustle of Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. Jeremy (the owner) was quick to respond to any request or question. He and his father went above and beyond to clear off trees that had fallen across the road during a pretty incredible wind storm. I highly recommend!

Good location
We were traveling to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park with our elementary age daughters and my parents. This cabin was convenient for our needs. Hot water, firm mattresses with plenty of clean linens. Wi-Fi was great and smart TV's were easy to use. Kitchen was adequate, though the light cooking we did in oven and on stovetop revealed a quirky appliance. Pots and pans, baking sheets, cooking utensils, dishes for all six of us. Not a spice, oil or dry good at all. We did find room for improvement on the overall maintenance - toilets not cleaned, lightbulbs missing or flickering all weekend. The loft bedroom worked for us, but be aware that it has no door or storage. Parking was a squeeze for two vehicles without obstructing the mountain road. Watch the video, this was very helpful to feel confident approaching the property.

Lack of maintenance
Very nice cabin. Location was great. However, maintenance doesn’t appear to be done on a timely manner. Light bulbs burnt out, 1 burner on the stove doesn’t work, knives need replaced, yard needed mowed.

Cozy but noisy
Very nice cabin, but noise traveled throughout the entire cabin very easily. Water pressure was great. Needed more toliet paper and better quality kitchen items. Oven/stove was wonky and dryer seemed to b on the fritz. Road into cabin was unsure of if people would be coming or not.

Great cabin
Somewhat secluded but easy to get to local restaurants and shops. Easy drive to Cades Cove and other attractions. Cabin was well furnished and quite functional. Nice screened in deck on the back.
