💡 Other things to note

🐾 Our Dog-Friendly Approach
We happily welcome well-behaved, house-trained dogs over 1 year old to join you. To ensure a comfortable stay for everyone and protect the cabin, please message us with your dog’s age and breed upon booking so we can confirm suitability. A $100 pet fee per stay applies (unless otherwise noted) to help cover additional cleaning. Our official limit is 2 dogs, but let us know if you are bringing 3. We appreciate you ensuring your furry friend treats the cabin gently, as guests are responsible for any damages beyond normal wear. Please use the designated outdoor pet area and help keep the space clean by picking up after your dog. Some waste stations may be provided for your convenience. A friendly note for guests with allergies: While we thoroughly clean after every stay, please remember this is a dog-welcoming home. If you have severe dog allergies, this may not be the most comfortable environment for you. Our official limit is 2 dogs, but we’re happy to allow 3 with an additional $50 pet fee.

📝 Helpful Cabin Information

✔ To ensure a peaceful experience for everyone in the area, we kindly ask guests to observe quiet hours between 10 PM and 9 AM.
✔ Help us keep the wildlife wild and safe! Please store all food indoors and secure trash only within the provided bear-proof bins. Leaving food or trash outside can attract bears and other curious critters.
✔ Enjoy observing wildlife from a safe distance. For their safety and yours, please refrain from feeding or approaching any animals. Feeding bears, in particular, puts them and humans at risk and can have serious consequences for the bears.

Very clean. Close to town but not “ in” town. Groceries, etc. readily accessible. Recommend the ribs at JimBob’s restaurant. Host communicates as needed and is very helpful. Hot tub is great and private. Felt comfortable in the area. Only a few minutes to entrance to the National park. Looking forward to returning.

This was our second time staying at one of the cabins on this property. Our first experience was great, and Derek the property manager, was responsive. The check-in instructions were also clearly presented and easy to follow, which we appreciated.The location is undeniably beautiful-peaceful, close to Townsend, and just a short drive to Cades Cove. We even spotted a bear from the front porch, which was a highlight. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end.The cabin had a strong, unpleasant musty odor the moment we walked in-like wet dog and mildew. We had to open all the windows and drive into town for air fresheners, but even with that, the smell never went away. The couch blanket, curtains, and bedspread all reeked, and the cabin was so damp our clothes felt wet just hanging in the cabin. Towels never dried between showers, and spices we brought from home (and bought locally) crystalized from the moisture in the air.To make matters worse, one of the only mornings we planned to sleep in was cut short by lawn maintenance weed eating and mowing right around our cabin at 8 a.m. The timing was frustrating and felt inconsiderate for paying guests.By the time we left, all of our clothes and even our suitcases smelled like the cabin. Everything had to be washed or aired out after returning home.This property has potential with its location and views, but the moisture issues, odor, and lack of attention to guest comfort made this stay unpleasant.

Great Place

We stayed a long weekend with our French bulldog. The cabin is very cozy and has everything we need. Sleeping was very comfortable and the bedroom downstairs is nice and dark. Fun to play old arcade games as well. If you stay on a Sunday the Bruch at Dancing Bear is really good. Reservations are needed. We will be staying again in the future.

Christmas in the Cabin

Thoroughly enjoyed our "Christmas in the Cabin" experience we were seeking for a quiet holiday. The Cabin was very charming in a great setting, and its location in Townsend right next to Smoky Mtn National Park was perfect. The Cabin layout was a great use of space. The kitchen was well-stocked, and the overall furnishings and decor were comfy. The generous porch was fantastic. We appreciated the timely communication with management. We will definitely book again when in the area.

First time staying in this cabin and in Townsend. We are very pleased with the condition of the cabin. It was stocked with everything that we needed to cook and to enjoy the peacefulness of the area. We appreciate how clean it was, the sofa in the living was very comfortable, so was the bed. We will definitely recommend it and look forward to staying there again. Thank you

Location was great, few minutes from Townsend. The cabin was great, loved loved the front porch with rockers. The hot tub was key as we hiked while there. As stated in reviews i saw, Derek, the host was wonderful! Answered questions immediately and was very nice. I loved the email they sent- which gave all info i needed for my stay. Comfy beds, loved the arcade game and cabin was well stocked with kitchen items. Will return- thank you for a great stay!

Good deal

Communication was good at place was pretty nice. Couple small issues we found were no kitchen sponge and water to sink was cold but I found a way around it. Also I didn’t find out till the last night the room had warmer blanket. Bit surprised how thin bed sheets were for being cabin. Would just say take inventory before you go get items at store. Hot tub was great, area was nice and quiet for most part- also couch super comfy
