Wonderful weekend getaway!

The cabin was so nice and Jo, the property manager, went out of her way to answer questions we had including a visit to the cabin. The location was wonderful for our visit to Cade’s Cove.

Simple Pleasures is a lovely, comfortable cabin in a beautiful location. I appreciated the well-equipped kitchen and comfortable beds and bedding! It's in a quiet location but close to all the activities of the area. On a more personal note, I have loved the novel "Christy" since I was a child, so seeing the street names in the area always made me smile. Great communication with the owner and easy check-in. We hope to return!

Awesome getaway cabin

Very quiet location up the mountain. At this time of year on multiple trips up and down we only passed one car! Very nice short week away! My favorite thing was the lovely Christmas decorations and a lit Christmas tree that welcomed us on arrival! Thank you!!

Great place and enjoyed very much! Two marks against it would be poor lighting in the downstairs bedroom and that bedroom carpet really needs replaced. All else was excellent!

Weekend family wedding

Our cabin was wonderful and so are the hosts. It happened to be unusally cold for that time of year and when we walked in, it was so nice and warm! Thank you for thinking ahead for us. Not all my family was as lucky!! The cabin was beautiful, cozy and clean. We overly enjoyed the fireplace and the furniture was very comfortable. I would highly recommend to anyone needing a place to stay!!Thank you for a wonderful place to stay!Georgiana

Christmas in the Mountains

We had a wonderful stay at Simple Pleasures! The host, Jo, was amazing! She had thought of everything we would need and was very responsive to any questions we had while staying in the cabin. The cabin was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The cabin was decorated with a Christmas tree and the cutest Christmas decor. It was great! Jo is so thoughtful! We had a great stay and plan on coming back again when it is warmer and we can enjoy the outdoor screened in porch.

Great cabin for relaxing

This cabin is nestled in the woods within a gated community which made it feel more private and secure. Everything was very clean, the kitchen has great appliances and had everything we needed. This cabin does not offer a hot tub, pool table, gaming machines, etc. which was perfect for us. It allowed us to spend time together enjoying the screened porch and absorbing the beauty of nature without all the distractions. My only issue was that the queen size bed on the main floor was squeaky. I will definitely rent this cabin again!

Comfortable mountain cabin

We had three adults and two kids. The layout worked out well and the house was clean and comfortable. Jo was quick to respond to questions. The house is in a gated community in the mountain. The roads are narrow and winding and there are a couple of steep hills. We had no problems in a mini van in good weather, but also arrived during the day, which I would recommend if you don’t drive in the mountains often. We would definitely stay there again.

Jo was an amazing host! The cabin was very welcoming and cozy. It was very clean and provided plenty of space to relax and enjoy our trip. The beds and couches were extremely comfortable. The city of Townsend had plenty to offer to keep us from going to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We are looking forward to staying here again next year!

We loved the cabin. Enough room for me and my husband and my baby girl and my son in law and my 2 grandbabies.kitchen was nice with enough room for both me and my daughter to be in there. We loved the fireplace we used it when it was a cold outside with out turning the heat up. We got to rest and enjoy the family time. Still close enough to all the activities and restaurants. We did try Jimbob in Townsend which was good.
