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.

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.

Wonderful Cabin!

We enjoyed our stay in Trails End. It was clean, the kitchen had everything we needed and the fireplace was beautiful! The location was just enough in the woods to feel secluded yet close enough to town and the park. We will definitely be staying here again!

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.

Great location

It was a perfect weekend. We love the calm side of the Smokies. The cabin was just as pictured. Easy communication with host. Everything you need right there. Being a big cooker and baker I appreciated the high end kitchen utensils and pots and pans. Thanks for a great stay!

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!
