Darling little cabin in great location

So glad we stayed here while exploring the park. Such easy access to the things we wanted to do in the park. Very secluded, quiet cabin. Clean and the basic comforts we needed. Close to restaurants and grocery store. Easy booking , check-in and out, and easy communication with James. It was exactly what we needed. Only wish we could have stayed longer. If I get back to the area, I’d book the exact same cabin.

Pretty Convenient Location

The cabin is situated very conveniently to the amenities of Townsend. It is in a pretty spot in the woods with a little stream behind. There are places outside to sit and enjoy the scenery. It's not fancy but is comfortable inside. We enjoyed our stay.

Great stay near the park!

The cabin was perfect for my family and 2 kids (4, 2). The creek was amazing for them to play in. It's a short drive to GSMNP and Townsend was the quieter town we were hoping for.
