Family/Pet Friendly Cabin

BrittanyRating, 5 stars2 months ago
I can’t thank Alison and Jason enough for being the best host and providing our family with an ideal place to stay minutes from the parkway and also not a far drive from the scenic Cades cove! Alison and Jason provided so many details on other things to do and places to eat/visit while in town and we couldn’t be happier with them and their beautiful cabin!

Spectacular Great Smokey Mountains Views

LeeRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Driving up the road to the place was a little different especially at night. But we did get used to it. The nest was beautifully appointed with great decorations that made you feel like you were in a cabin. The place was outstanding, one of the better hosts that I’ve ever had interaction with. A few things that I would add to the property but all in all everything that you really need. The Wi-Fi was a little spotty as I was trying to do some work. Great location in Maggie Valley so close to so many things. If you definitely want to be up in the mountains with outstanding views, this is the place for you. The newly added outdoor fireplace was great to have.

The Great Outdoors

NicholasRating, 5 stars2 months ago
This cabin was exactly what we needed. It was very pristine and everything was exactly as pictured. The host was always responsive with anything I asked. The hot tub was the best we’ve had at a cabin so far and worked perfectly unlike others that were old and weak in the past. It snowed the last day there and we enjoyed the views from the balcony. The large windows and porch provide an amazing view of the large mountains nearby. It was a winter wonderland. The fireplace was great and blasted heat as it is just controlled by a dial that is extremely handy for immediate heat and beauty. The bed slept amazing and we were very happy with the overall set up of the cabin. We would definitely stay in this exact cabin again on our next trip.

Warm Welcome Mountain Sunrise

BarbaraRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This place is immaculately cleaned and pristine! They made every accommodation to help us feel like we were in our own home. I asked about a grill because we wanted to grill steaks out first night and I received a response that they would have one available when we arrived….brand new grill when we arrived ready for use! Who does that? Also allowed us to drop off our bags before we headed out to visit local wineries. They responded immediately to our messages and saved us money at the local grocery store when we bought steaks and essentials. And did I mention that they surprised us with a red velvet cheesecake to help us celebrate two birthdays that week? Who does that? They are the kindest, most hospitable hosts I have EVER dealt with and they have a beautiful place that made us feel like we were at a retreat of our very own! They stocked the whole house with shower supplies and necessities. We hated to leave but are already planning our next visit this summer!

AshleyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Had a great stay at David’s place! The cabin was stocked with everything that we could need. The views from the deck were incredible. Location was far enough away to feel private but close enough to all the attractions we wanted to see. David was easy to reach throughout the trip, would love to stay here again!

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.
