The beds were not comfortable at all especially the bed downstairs. The cabin needs better lighting. The small lamps on nightstands were not enough light for reading. Water pressure in showers was great.

Simple Pleasures was perfect for our family of 4, situated in a quiet gated community in peaceful Townsend. We especially enjoyed eating breakfast and dinner out in the screened in porch while hearing many birds and watching squirrels eating in the treetops. We even had two sightings of a black bear and one sighting of a black coyote, all leisurely walking by the cabin at dusk. The kitchen and bathroom had the essentials to get started with our stay, supplemented with our own supply of dish soap and toilet paper. We enjoyed being close to the Smoky National Park, accessing Cades Cove and hiking Abrams Falls and the Middle Prong Trail from the Tremont area. We also enjoyed the local cavern tour and riding horses for an hour at the Davy Crockett Riding Stables. The only extensive driving we did was to drive to Hartford to white water raft through Smoky Mountain Outdoors, which was well worth the drive and highly organized upon our arrival. On the way home from Hartford, we passed through Gatlinburg and enjoyed our time at the Ripley's Aquarium. Lastly, we enjoyed the local shops in Townsend and stopping at the Bear Restoration Center and learning about efforts to help injured or non-thriving bears in the area. We hope to make it back and again stay in Townsend and at this cabin or at the very least, in the Laurel Valley Golf Community.

Nice Cabin

Simple Pleasures is a lovely cabin! We really enjoyed our stay here. The back porch/deck area is nice, the kitchen is well-stocked, and the overall layout of the cabin worked well for our family. The road leading to the cabin is fully paved and wide enough, which is sometimes an issue with mountain cabins. Some parts of the road are quite steep, which might make winter travel difficult, but overall, it is a wonderful cabin and we would definitely recommend it.

The Peaceful Side

Simple Pleasures checked all the boxes for my family while visiting the Smokys. A very well-equipped cabin that appeared very new to us. Didn't look like the stove had ever been used! Easy in and out and very accessible to Townsend, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Cades Cove. A great stopping place when visiting the Smokys.

Marvelous Mountain Abode

Simple Pleasures was the perfect place for a family getaway. We were in town for a wedding with 2 adult children. Everyone had their own space and 2 bathrooms definitely helped the process of getting everyone ready on time! The cabin was conveniently located near shops, eateries, and the wedding venue. The host was very communicative so we felt well taken care of. Highly recommend!

Weekend family wedding

Our cabin was wonderful and so are the hosts. It happened to be unusally cold for that time of year and when we walked in, it was so nice and warm! Thank you for thinking ahead for us. Not all my family was as lucky!! The cabin was beautiful, cozy and clean. We overly enjoyed the fireplace and the furniture was very comfortable. I would highly recommend to anyone needing a place to stay!!Thank you for a wonderful place to stay!Georgiana

Christmas in the Mountains

We had a wonderful stay at Simple Pleasures! The host, Jo, was amazing! She had thought of everything we would need and was very responsive to any questions we had while staying in the cabin. The cabin was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The cabin was decorated with a Christmas tree and the cutest Christmas decor. It was great! Jo is so thoughtful! We had a great stay and plan on coming back again when it is warmer and we can enjoy the outdoor screened in porch.

Great cabin for relaxing

This cabin is nestled in the woods within a gated community which made it feel more private and secure. Everything was very clean, the kitchen has great appliances and had everything we needed. This cabin does not offer a hot tub, pool table, gaming machines, etc. which was perfect for us. It allowed us to spend time together enjoying the screened porch and absorbing the beauty of nature without all the distractions. My only issue was that the queen size bed on the main floor was squeaky. I will definitely rent this cabin again!
