The house was clean and had everything we needed! The labels on cabinets in light switches were such a helpful touch. Host was quick to reply and super nice. Would absolutely stay again!
Perfect cabin for a family that is well stocked in the kitchen. Joe is definitely a plus having as a host she is very kind and communicates well! Thank you for a wonderful stay
The cabin was wonderful for a short stay for our family of 5! We enjoyed the hot tub and the porch. Kids loved the ping pong table too. Kitchen and bathrooms were clean and stocked. We would return!
Easily the cleanest VBRO home I’ve ever stayed at, beautifully decorated and furnished, conveniently located near the Townsend entrance to GSMNP. Highly recommended.
This was the cleanest vacation rental I have ever stayed in. The attention to detail and labeling made for a very comfortable environment. We will definitely be staying here again in the near future.
We enjoyed our stay, cabin was absolutely beautiful and clean. It had everything we needed for our stay. Plenty of room to relax with our family. We would definitely come back and stay. No complaints!
This was probably the cleanest VRBO we've stayed in. The basement game are was great for the kids, and the hot tub was great after a full day hiking. The location was easy to get to, and the golf course community was quiet and safe.
We found the house to be very clean and cozy. It was especially nice to have the downstairs area. We used the ping pong table, and the tv. We were there for a family wedding, so we did not spend much time at the house, but we still enjoyed it all the same!
This is our 2nd family vacation to The Great Smoky Mountains and we absolutely loved it. Redbud Retreat kept us so comfortable. Everything was so well organized and easy for us. We will definitely be coming to this place again and I will remember to bring my golf clubs!

The hosts thought of everything! Appliances from a toaster to a crockpot, plenty of cups, dishes, etc. for our party of 6 adults /1 child. Very clean and super comfortable. Highly recommend!
We had an amazing stay!! The host was very responsive to our questions and the cabin far exceeded our expectations. They thought of everything and the sweet welcome treat was a nice touch. We want to come back and stay longer next time. This is our new go to spot when visiting Townsend. I now see why it has a perfect 5.0 rating. Everything was labeled which made it easy to find what you need. The spaces were comfortable and perfect for our stay. We even took advantage of the golf course. Check in was a breeze and the selection of games and entertainment made us not even want to leave.
The cabin was amazing. It was clean and very well decorated. The welcome book was a really nice touch. Loved how it had information about the cabin and what was expected for check out. We really liked that everything in the kitchen was labeled.
The cabin is in a very active bear community. If you're looking to see bears and other wildlife this is the place for you. We found deer, turkey, and bears used the small patch of woods behind the cabin to get around daily.
Everyone loved the stay and we can't wait to get back.
The home was just as advertised, it was perfect for my family of 6. I would definitely recommend it and return myself. I never had to even talk to the host because they were so good at getting me the information to access the home and there were no issues during our stay.
Have stayed here two times. Love the place and location. For the most part everything is clean however there was someone’s yellow razor in the upstairs bathroom on the floor and it didn’t look like they had cleaned under the couch or chair in years. Other than that it was excellent. You might want to check your cleaning staff as I wonder what the fees are for? Also we had to fix the upstairs bathroom door knob as it was falling out.
