This was one of our best family vacations. The house was well stocked with everything you would need. The hosts are very responsive, nice, and hospitable. They even left really nice gifts for us when we arrived. We literally cannot say enough good things about them. From the decor in the house, to the little details of love put into the home, it’s amazing! The property is conveniently located near Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We made day trips to Anakeesta, zip lining, Cades Cove, shopping, and local hiking; all of these were within 40 minutes from the cabin. Also, we swam a few times in the pool that we had access to and it was very nice with a full concessions. Right next to the pool is a fishing pond where we caught bluegill and bass. The property is absolutely beautiful. We saw black bear every day on our trip. 3 bear became regular visitors, so much so that our children even gave them names. They weren’t a nuisance at all and kept their distance from us. However, they did like to mess with the grill every night after we all went to sleep. We took almost daily hikes in the trails on the property; it took us awhile but we finally found the prayer sanctuary with the cross made out of logs from the forest. It was all just very nice, exactly what we were looking for. If you are looking for a place where you are secluded, guaranteed to see wildlife, but yet close enough to enjoy all the “touristy” things the Smoky Mountains have to offer, this is the place!

Very private and amazing. I thought it was an easy drive up the road to get to the cabin. Once you get to the cabin it’s quiet with no visible cabins around. Plenty of room to spread out and enjoy. The back deck was a great place to hang out and enjoy the view and the hot tub. We had bears visit every day - multiple times a day really. They were not aggressive at all, and that made seeing them fun and not scary. We made sure to keep our distance for sure though. Mostly they would just do a tour around the house which meant we could observe from a safe perch on the porch. The location was perfect also. Maybe 20 minutes from both the park and Pigeon Forge. I highly recommend if you are looking for a wonderful cabin to visit Beyond that, Jim & Linda were the best hosts you could ask for. Quick to respond when I needed a question answered. And even had a nice gift basket waiting for us. Such a nice personal touch. We loved every minute of being there. One of the best weeks we have ever had.

Possibly the Best Rental I Have Ever Experienced

Me and my family, along with extended family decided to spend Christmas in Mountains and this place did not disappoint. The owners made it feel like home and even included some personalized Christmas touches that we by no means expected. I won’t say what they were as to I don’t want to ruin the surprise for anyone. This cabin created the most memorable Christmas we have had yet. The owners are excellent at communicating and even let us check in early which was amazing since we had just driven all the way from Louisiana with 3 small children who desperately wanted out of the car. The cabin has everything you could need already stocked, and had more room than our party of 8 could have possibly needed. The area is beautiful, and the definition of peaceful. Be sure to stay aware of the bears. It’s almost a given that they will show up at some point. A mom and two cubs and a lone female. They’re very comfortable with people, but as long as you keep your eyes open they are not an issue. I highly recommend this stay, and as a person that has traveled everyone and stayed a thousand different places, this one definitely stood out.

Perfect Gatlinburg Getaway

The pictures don't do justice the beauty of this property and cabin. All the charm of log cabin ambiance with a stunning view off the back deck. Property managers are warm and attentive and have the cabin stocked with all the equipment needed to cook anything you want on the trip. We enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit & pool table. Smart TVs made it easy to cast to when running a meeting for our team. We even had a mama bear & 2 bear cubs visit each day! Overall, it was a wonderful experience and would definitely book here again.

Fantastic Stay in Townsend

We had a fantastic stay at this cabin home! The home was just as described and had everything we needed and more. There was a lot of bear activity on the property while we were there, and the location to activities was a short drive away. The mountain view from the deck could be even more beautiful with some tree branch trimming, but we would definitely consider staying here again when visiting Tennessee.

Well worth the cabin

The cabin was more than expected. We saw bears several days during our stay. The owner was very quick to get someone there when the air conditioning was not working properly ans stayed in contact to make sure everything was going well during our stay. We enjoyed all the kitchen supplies that were provided. Definately more than any cabin we have ever stayed at before! We had a very unique experience as we were checking out and giving family goodbyes. We looked up and there was a Mama bear and two cubs walking down the driveway as we were trying to finish packing vehicles. I highly recommend staying at this cabin if you get a chance. We would love to come back and visit again!!

A little slice of Heaven on Earth

We chose this cabin for our spring break trip with extended family. We had 10 total. From the very first inquiry to the finally of the trip, Jim and Lisa and their rental far exceeded out expectations. The description and pictures are accurate. The beds and pillows were beyond comfortable. The cleanliness of the cabin was perfect; even the towels were great quality. They provided a thoughtful and personal gift basket to welcome us. No detail was missed! The entire trip was truly covered in double portions of blessings! The property was amazing with hiking trials, near by fishing, and campfire pit with wood already available. The hot tub was wonderful. The view is amazing. They even had a handrail put on the steps before we came for my disabled husband and elderly grandparents! The first night we got there, a storm came in a knocked the power out. Jim immediately reached out and kept me up to date on the details of the power crew working to resolve the issue. He made sure we were taken care of for the reminder of the trip and was so generous to us. Even though there were things that happened outside of their control, they made sure our stay was more than enjoyable. Thank you, again, Jim and Lisa! We absolutely hope to return for another trip until he future!

Peaceful and beautiful views.

The cabin photos online don't do it justice. It's so beautiful and open. We had plenty of room for 8 adults to spread out. We spent a lot of time on the deck. The peaceful prayer place off the trail is amazing. Jim was amazing to get a hold of for any questions we had. On our 3rd and 4th night a mama bear and her cubs came to visit us. That was spectacular. None of us had experienced that before. We had everything we could need to bake, cook and grill. The laundry room is awesome. We enjoyed hanging out in the basement playing ping pong one evening. We would love to stay here in the future when we visit Townsend. I highly recommended staying here if you have a big family or group of friends. You won't be disappointed.
