Perfect Smoky Mountain Getaway

Our family had a blast staying in this beautiful modern home. We went to explore and hike in Cades Cove every day, and came back to the hot tub, decks and well stocked kitchen. If you're looking to stay on the peaceful side of the smokies and get away from the noise and traffic, this is your place. Check in and check out were a breeze and everything is as nice as the pictures. Hope to come back soon!

Terrific Time in Townsend

We had a wonderful time at Dylan and Suzanne’s place. It was exactly as pictured but it’s even nicer in person. The house was clean. The room layout was perfect for our family of seven. The decks, the grill and fire pit, and outdoor seating were awesome. The hot tub was ready to go and easy to use. The kitchen is large and there is plenty of seating. The kids got to see how awesome Frogger is on the arcade game. The TVs are all nice Samsungs and not the cheap knock offs at so many other places. We are low touch vacationers but the two times we had to reach out we received almost immediate response. We would absolutely recommend staying here and will be back when we next visit the Smokys.

Excellent experience

This property has every amenity you can think of. The home looks brand new and was exceptionally clean. The property is located on a hill so the views were fantastic from both porches. The property owners even had maps for guests to take to help navigate the area. For someone looking for a relaxing experience with less traffic in the smokies, earmark this one since you won’t be disappointed! My companion and I had a wonderful time and will return in the future.

Beautiful home!

This home is beautiful and we had such an enjoyable time here. We (4 adults) came mostly to rest and relax so we did spend most of our time in the home other than a drive through Cades Cove one day. The home was very clean, the beds were comfy, the decks were nicely furnished, the kitchen well stocked! We cooked most of our meals and had everything we needed. Any questions I had were answered quickly by the owners. We love "the peaceful side of the Smokies" and will definitely be back!
