The cabin (Take it easy) and the host were absolutely wonderful. The host is very attentive and the cabin was everything we had hoped it would be. Clean, comfortable, accommodating, bed was comfortable, kitchen had everything you would need and the hot tub was great after a long hike in the mountains. We look forward to returning. Thank you Derek for having us.

Awesome cabin retreat

The cabin was great (exactly as pictured)! Very clean. Hot tub was relaxing and the rocking chairs on the porch were perfect for coffee drinking. Our son loved the lofted area and we all loved that our black lab could come with us on vacation. The beds were comfortable, and the cabin had all the essentials we needed. Oh and the arcade game was fun- I’m not sure if my husband or son liked it more.

Cozy cabin with privacy in a great location

We had a wonderful stay in this cabin. Every room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom and kitchen are a nice size and there's also a loft with room for another couple or children but we didn’t need to use that space. We loved relaxing in the hot tub every night in this peaceful setting and the arcade game was a big hit. Playing the games brought back memories from the 80's for us. We highly recommend staying here. You won't be disappointed!

Perfect family vacation

Tucked away in the perfect spot. Just minutes away from several amazing restaurants and stores. The cabins hosted my family of 4 and our 2 dogs and it was the perfect size. The hot tub was the best to end the day. Kids took full advantage of the arcade machine and loft area and the dogs really enjoyed the spacious porch. The cabin was equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Derek made it super easy to extend our stay an extra night too. Will definitely be back to rent this cabin. Easy to find, no steep drives!

Townsend Takeover Jeep Event

Lovely little cabin

My husband, daughter, two dogs, and I stayed at the Take It Easy cabin together. It was a very cute and cozy place and I loved the location! The host is wonderful-very attentive and responsive. The cabin is one in a small group that shares a driveway and has a small, shared laundry cabin. We were able to get our laundry done with ease and there was plenty of room to park beside the cabin. As the host mentioned in the description, the stairs to the loft are narrow and steep so it’s not a sleeping area I would recommend for very young children or older adults. However, my 23 year old daughter had no issues at all sleeping up there and I was easily able to get up and down when needed. There is a spacious bedroom and bathroom on the main floor. We also enjoyed the arcade game and the hot tub! The hot tub is located on the front porch with plenty of privacy as the host has enclosed the area with lattice board. We love Townsend! If you’ve never stayed in the area, but enjoy peace and quiet and good local restaurants, you would love it. Many thanks to Derek!

Thanksgiving vacation

Townsend was absolutely amazing ! We love this town because you definitely are in the PEACEFUL side of the Smokey’s. Our family consisted of two adults my son 11 and my daughter 20. The upstairs was perfect for them I would not recommend this for 4 adults the steps are steep and only kids would do well upstairs unless it’s one adult but not Elderly will not be able to manage the stairs. The cabin was snug but perfect for us. The kitchen does not have new pots and pans there pretty beat up. We really didn’t cook. But if your cooking all three meals it’s not ideal. Just the minimum for the kitchen supplies. No soap no sponge. Bring your own or have to buy. There are roaches and little bugs and very dusty. It’s the woods not sure if the bugs will ever go away. But we did not leave any food outside at all. And I kept the counter clean always. The area like I said was amazing. Your away from the craziness of that’s what you want. Derek was great very attentive with issues we had like the dishwasher wasn’t working got fix the next day promptly and the fire place was working fine. If you don’t know how to turn it on like us from FLORIDA. YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE PILOT ON AND PUT BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. Then you have to turn on with lighter on top while having this pressed and it’s located on the right to the back. Then you can adjust high or low. Overall this was an amazing experience and time with our family. We loved it. No matter what we don’t let the little things bring down our positive attitudes on things. If you want everything perfect this is not the cabin for you.
