🐾Our Dog-Friendly Approach
We love hosting well-behaved, house-trained dogs over 1 year old. Please send us a message 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.


📝Helpful Cabin Information
✔ We welcome guests 21 years of age and older to book and be the primary renter.
✔ Hot tub use is at your own risk. For guests 21+ only. No alcohol near the hot tub. Not recommended during pregnancy.
✔ To ensure everyone’s comfort and safety, please make sure your guest count matches your reservation. Unregistered guests may incur an additional fee ($25 per person per night) or require adjustments to the stay.
✔ To ensure a peaceful experience for everyone in the area, we kindly ask guests to observe quiet hours between 10 PM and 9 AM.
✔ Enjoy the cozy ambiance of the electric fireplace during the cooler months (it’s operational from October 1st through March 31st).
✔ For safety reasons and per local regulations, open flames (including candles and unauthorized outdoor fires) are not permitted. We appreciate your cooperation in preventing fire hazards. Misuse may result in a $250 fee plus any damage costs.
✔ 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.
✔ We provide a starter supply of towels, linens, shampoo, soap, and even toothbrushes just in case you forget yours!
✔ While we stock the basics, please remember to bring your favorite coffee, K-cups, condiments, and food storage items like zip locks to make your stay perfect.

Nice, quiet cabin

Very nice cabin for family of four, (kids). Very clean and well appointed. WiFi was very good. Two couples might find it too small as only one bathroom. Hot tub was very nice as well. I stayed with my 16 year old son for hiking/biking in the area. Very pretty. Smokies are worth the drive/stay. Manager responds quickly. Rent with ease of mind

This cute little cabin was perfect for us! My boyfriend and I actually got engaged while there! Very clean, neat, and there was even a mini Christmas tree there that made it feel cozy around the holidays. The host was great and got back to me almost immediately for every question I had. We will definitely be staying here again!

Cozy cabin in the great smoky mountains

Had such a wonderful week in the great smoky mountains! This cabin was perfect! It’s on the quiet side away from the crazy crowded Gatlinburg area. Very easy access into park with no waiting. Close to restaurants and shopping in Townsend. The cabin was so clean and had everything we needed for the week! Bonus hot tub for soaking in after long hiking days! Highly recommend!!

Cute cabin!

Uncle Tom’s Cabin was a great place to stay. Very close to Townsend. Everything you’d need for cooking your own meals; the dishes, pots and pans looked very new. We loved the hot tub. One thing I would say is if you’re looking for a sun-filled cabin, this is not it. The overhanging trees didn’t let a lot of light in (our stay was in September); however, there were plenty of indoor light options to cover the areas. Would stay again!

Thank you for allowing me to celebrate my 30th birthday in your wonderful home! It was so nice to have a small getaway in such a relaxing location! My husband and daughter enjoyed it just as much as I did. She has plenty of space to run and we took advantage of the hot tub to wind down.

Cozy stay!

Loved the location. Cabin is a nice combination of rustic and modern. Loved the hot tub. Front porch swing and rocking chairs were great for sitting and listening to rain on the metal roof. Would definitely stay again. 4 star rating for cleaning only reflective of dusty baseboards. Rest of cabin was very clean. Baseboards are rustic wood so might be difficult to keep clean.
