Quiet place for a solo getaway
Nice amenities, even though I didn't need all of them. Convenient to the town. Loved the fire place. Liked sitting on the porch, but the door was a little hard to open/close. Amazing night sky for the night of a lunar eclipse. Driving through a golf course was fine, but not the most inspiring thing, although the area surrounding the cabin felt nice and secluded. Very quiet. Overall, a peaceful place for a last-minute solo trip.

Great location only 10 minutes from the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Paved driveway with a turnaround for your vehicle. Only three steps to enter the cabin and a floodlit yard. Both made it easy to get our older dog out at any time of day. Three-season screened porch was lovey.

Very nice cabin in a secluded location, while there are several other cabins nearby they are fair enough away that you have good privacy. Inside the cabin is laid out very comfortably with all the basic needs. We would definitely stay again...

Nice, quiet cabin
Very nice and well-stocked cabin. We enjoyed our stay. I would like to point out that this is in the woods, so there are a lot of spiders around the exterior of the house (didn't see any inside though) with webs in all the windows which may be an issue for some people.

The property is amazing. It’s very clean and comfortable. The property host responded quickly to questions. Great location, especially being close to Cades Cove, where we saw several bears. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I hope to return in the near future

About the host

Hosted by Cyndie Cornelius

Host profile image
I have been selling Smoky Mountain Real Estate since 2007 and managing Smoky Mountain Rental Properties since 2014. As the Owner and Principal Broker of a Townsend based Real Estate Firm, I have been in and out of hundreds of rental cabins. Feeling strongly that people want to be treated to a clean and well stocked cabin in a private surrounding, my husband and I decided to see if our theory was correct. We purchased our first cabin in 2014 and put it in service. The demand was overwhelming, and we soon purchased our second and third. The owners of Laurel Mist purchased this cabin from us and we agreed to manage the rental of this cabin as well, since it has the same private setting and warm interior decor that our guests enjoy. We felt Laurel Mist was a perfect match for our clients.

Why they chose this property

The atmosphere and location of this cabin provide the perfect getaway for the owners. Nestled into the trees and well off the roadway, the privacy abounds. Townsend is a small town that is a gateway community to the National Park. To visit the area opens up the entire park to visitors. This cabin has a warm interior with a huge main living space and stacked stone fireplace. The french doors that lead to the screened in back porch add a bright and inviting outdoor living area to the already spacious interior.
It was for the owners, a perfect choice to enjoy themselves, and to share with other guests to the area.
With strong ties to UT, this home away from home was a no brainer!

What makes this property unique

Laurel Mist backs to county parkland and a nature preserve. This cabin is has great outdoor space and privacy abounds. Located in the same Natural Surroundings as The Cove and Smoke Rise, this cabin will sleep four, offering a bit larger accommodations when needed.
Relax on the screened in porch and enjoy the sounds of surrounding nature.
