Make sure to get a gate code to the neighborhood. Other than the gates being closed the last night, and there only being 1 shower, we had a great stay. Would book again.

Best getaway ever! Glad we chose the "peaceful side"

We didn't know what was meant by "the peaceful side of the Smokies" until we got there. So glad we chose this property! Townsend is a quiet, quaint town that is an easy drive to the park, Cades Cove or any of the attractions in Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge you want to check out. This propery was better than what was pictured! The jetted tub was a great way to relax after a day of hiking. Better than the hot tub. We could hear frogs chirping and watch fireflies blinking. We would definitely stay here again!

Quiet Stay in the Mountains

We loved our stay at Trails End. The cabin was so cozy and equipped with everything we needed. It’s far enough away from town to give you peace and serenity but not so far you can’t grab a bite to eat. There were no other cabins too close to ours so we felt secluded. Our host Cyndie was great and very attentive. We didn’t want to leave and even stayed an extra day. I highly recommend if your looking for a peaceful retreat.

Trails End is a beautiful cabin. Secluded and peaceful was what we were looking for and this cabin fits the bill. Very clean and comfortable. We loved the look of all the beautiful wood and the mountain stone fireplace is gorgeous! It was so quiet, so if you’re used to the sounds of the city, you may want to carry a fan for noise to sleep by. All of the furniture is comfortable with plenty of pillows to chill out with. While there were no bear sightings at the cabin, we did see a buck and doe, a rabbit, and many birds & butterflies, so if you enjoy nature this cabin is for you. If you love to golf like we do, you are only a few minutes to Laurel Valley golf. One of the many things I love about this cabin is that the decor is kept simple and not overdone. Every picture looks like it could have been taken at and around this cabin. We loved this cabin and would love to return here soon!

Really nice but a little clean then would have liked.

The place is nice in general. Great secluded location close to cades cove. However we had a few issues upon arrival. Once we got there, we checked the beds as we do with every trip and found the sheets to stains (either blood or wine) so we washed them in the on site machine and they came out, which leaves me to believe they weren’t washed in the first place. That was our only big issue. Smaller things include the listing of a hottub in the second bedroom. The owner requires you fill the hot tub, flip the breaker on once full, drain the hot tub after every use, and then flip the breaker off. We adhered to these rules but it was time consuming (takes 30 min to fill and 1 hour to drain). The hottub also wasn’t the cleanest at first. We had to do a wipe done of a few spots of grime and remove 2 spiderwebs that occupied the inside of it. Some other minor things include there not being a shower head in the master bathroom, the dehumidifier being full (which led to springtails being present in the bed in the room with the hottub), a few of the blinds being slightly broken upon arrival, and the numerous notes not to sign out of Hulu but it was already signed out on every tv when we arrived. Overall the cabin is nice, pretty, and relaxing, but the upkeep is skeptical at best. If the owners don’t clean it themselves, I’d advise they fine a new housekeeper.

The Trails End Cabin was amazing, beautiful for our 2 day stay. Wish we had more time there (could have stayed for ever). Owner provided all details for easy check-in Cabin had everything you need. She made a special stop in when we arrived and whirlpool didnt work due to storm surge. Really comfortable bed and pillows.

We were there with another couple to ride our motorcycles in the Great Smoky Mountains; great motorcycling roads. Trails End was perfect for us, very secluded, there was only one cabin past Trails End so the only traffic was them leaving and returning. We had 2 vehicles and 2 enclosed trailers and had plenty of parking space; a little challenging on turning around when we were getting ready to leave. We have a small dog so we need a place that was pet friendly so it worked out great. We did see a deer and her fawn a couple of times and one bear passing through. The cabin was very clean when we arrived and had every amenity we needed. Our host Cyndie was very quick to respond on any questions we had.

Overall great cabin!

Pros: beautiful, clean, roomy and secluded, lots of wildlife. Saw a bear the first day feet from the cabin. Cons: Primary bedroom mattress needs replaced, tended to be a little too warm for my taste in primary bedroom. Hot tub did not get very hot and would be better outside.
