Discover Shaconage: Smoky Mountain Luxury Awaits

BridgetRating, 5 stars5 days ago
This home is way up a steep mountain and driveway. We decided to back up it most times when we ran back and forth. It’s absolutely beautiful up here. There are quite a few wood steps to go up that were icy when we arrived. The code was not right when we arrived and it took while to get help to get in. Once I reached someone she was able to give me another code which got us in. The home is clean and the beds are very comfortable. Plenty of bedding to keep you warm. All in all we had a great stay for our daughter’s wedding here in TN.

Yourcation® Awaits in Stunning Cabin by Dollywood!

ZachRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Clean and spacious home made for multiple families. The third floor is a crows nest with the poker table only and one of the bottom floor king bedrooms doesn’t have a closet. Other than that, the home is exactly as advertised. Great location for Dollywood and all things in the Smokies. The parking is relatively flat and easy to get in and out as well. Quiet cul de sac with 3-4 other large homes only so minimal street noise. Back of the home backs up to a wooded area where we got to see a black bear each afternoon as he ate berries and got a little sun. We would definitely go back as the host was very responsive and instructions were clear.

The Great Outdoors

AprilRating, 5 stars5 days ago
Beautiful cabin. Woke up every morning to the sunrise over the mountains which can be seen directly from the main bedroom. Neighbors on either side, but felt very private. Fireplace and hot tub were added bonus. Very convenient location- Close by to hiking trails, gatlinburg main strip, and pigeon forge.

Warm Welcome Mountain Sunrise

LyndseyRating, 5 stars5 days ago
We couldn’t have hoped for better hosts or a more beautiful place to stay! The house was absolutely gorgeous. Pictures don’t do it justice! The porch/fire area were the cherries on top. Shelly and Chloe left it clean and well stocked with things we wouldn’t have thought to have brought that we ended up needing, like firewood, olive oil, shampoo and conditioner, and even Q-tips and bandaids! They checked in with us multiple times during the trip to ensure we had the best stay possible... and we did. Very generous and caring hosts. We’re already talking about wanting to come back to stay with them!

Highly recommend checking out this listing! My family and I stayed here for our annual Christmas trip and were not disappointed. The pool was a huge hit with my niece, the location was great, and we had plenty of room. The host was very responsive and helpful when we had questions. We will certainly be back!

The Great Escape, King suite, Kid friendly

WandaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We enjoyed this home very much. It was very clean and had everything we needed. Great communication with the host, she always responded quickly to all my messages. There was plenty of room for all of us and my granddaughters really loved the livingroom downstairs with the huge tv. We will consider booking again if we return to the area.

Your guide to Townsend

All About Townsend

Nestled in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, Townsend, Tennessee is synonymous with natural beauty. It’s one of three gateway cities into the mountain range, and with a population of just about 350 people, it’s an ideal destination for those seeking to explore the area from a small-town base.

The area around Townsend is steeped in history, with archaeological finds dating as far back as 2,000 B.C. — the Tuckaleechee caverns here are estimated to be 30 million years old. There are a number of museums dedicated to the preservation and appreciation of Townsend’s past, including the Great Smoky Mountains Heritage Center and the Little River Railroad and Lumber Museum, which speaks to the community’s ties to the construction of the railway.

In spite of its tranquil setting, Townsend is by no means a sleepy town; the community offers a packed schedule of festivals and events year-round. Immerse yourself in local lore at the annual Smoky Mountain Bigfoot festival, celebrate autumn’s colors at the Fall Heritage Festival, and add a little whimsy to your holiday during the enchanting Hot Air Balloon Festival.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Townsend

Each season in Townsend brings a different reason to spend time outdoors. Visit in the winter and be rewarded with cozy days at your cabin rental in Townsend between taking scenic drives in the snow or fishing in one of many nearby rivers. When things warm up a bit, festivals and seasonal events dot the calendar. May sees the annual Smoky Mountain Bigfoot Festival roll into town. Early summer means the arrival of the annual firefly viewing, where you can witness millions of these glowing bugs light up the night sky as they search for the perfect mate. If you visit towards the end of summer, you can experience the Great Smoky Mountains Hot Air Balloon Festival. In autumn, the leaves turn fiery shades of red and gold, and the Fall Heritage Festival in September celebrates Appalachian cooking alongside bluegrass music, arts, and crafts.


Top things to do in Townsend

Tuckaleechee Caverns

Once you’ve explored the unmatched beauty of the Smoky Mountains above, it’s time to take a peek below the surface and marvel at the ancient Tuckaleechee Caverns. Estimated to be between 20 and 30 million years old, these underground chambers are home to 24-foot stalagmites and a breathtaking 210-feet, two-tier waterfall. Access to the caves is only available from March to November, so bear that in mind when planning a trip here.

Cades Cove

Cades Cove is one of the star attractions in the Great Smoky Mountains, and you can explore this picturesque valley by taking an 11-mile loop road that snakes through one of the oldest mountain ranges in the United States. This lush landscape is home to all manner of wildlife, including white-tailed deer, black bears, and turkeys, as well as historic cabins and mills and hiking trails.

Little River

The enchantingly named Little River runs the length of Townsend and creates the perfect backdrop for a day of outdoor fun. One of the most popular activities in the area is tubing down the river. The slow-moving water creates the perfect atmosphere to unwind and cool down on a hot summer day.
