Justin is a great host. Responds quickly. The home was as beautiful as the pictures with plenty of dishes & utensils. Enough towels for everyone. We did get to witness a bear going up the hill in front of the house. The hot tub was nice. House was clean & amenities were fun.

The cabin was great. Lots of space and the kids loved the game room. The only disappointment was a missing power cord to the arcade machine, but they had plenty else to keep them entertained.

Justin was a great host start to finish! Instructions on everything we needed to know before arriving. He even checked in during our stay to make sure we were settled in and everything was going good. House is absolutely beautiful and so much space inside and out!

Quiet & Peaceful Porches
My wife and I really enjoyed this cabin. It’s on a dead end street and very private. We usually dont use the hot tubs but this was too inviting and we used it everyday. Another plus is there is a lot of thought to detail like blankets in the living areas and kitchen tools. Finally, while we didn't need Justin, he definitely was very responsive in the booking process and gave me the sense he would be quick to help on any issues.

Wonderful stay! This was one of our favorite Airbnbs ever, and was the perfect launching spot for Smoky Mountain hikes (25 minutes away), and day trips to the Pigeon Forge area (45-50 mins away). Our crew of 4 adults and 5 kids had plenty of room to spread out in the porch, main area, bedrooms, basement, and hot tub. Thank you Justin and team for a great stay!

Perfect Atmosphere!!!!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed this cabin. With its 3 beautiful porches there is serenity for everyone. It was so cool to be relaxing in the hot tub and have a huge black bear come walking right by. It was an extremely rainy week with a hurricane coming thru, but we never got bored with the awesome game room. Our host was incredible with any issues that arose. We're counting down the days until we can come back to this awesome cabin. Larry from Georgia

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a charming cabin in Townsend hosted by Justin,, and it was an experience that exceeded all my expectations! Nestled near the breathtaking Smoky Mountains, this cabin offered the perfect blend of tranquility and adventure.
From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the natural beauty surrounding the cabin. The views of the mountains were absolutely stunning, The cabin itself was cozy, clean, and beautifully decorated, making it feel like a true home away from home.
One of the highlights of my stay was the outdoor space. I loved sipping my morning coffee on the porch while soaking in the fresh air.
Justin was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring that I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Their recommendations for local restaurants and attractions were spot on, making my visit even more enjoyable.
Overall, my stay at the cabin in Townsend was a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Weekend with friends
Our group consisted of 3 families with ages ranging from 9-38 (4 kids and 6 adults). We stayed for the weekend to attend a festival in Townsend. We’re considering making this an annual trip, and will definitely consider staying here again! The kids enjoyed the game room on lower level, so they stayed down there most of the time. The location of the cabin is in a neighborhood right near the golf course, but the cabin itself is pretty secluded. Parking was tight for 3 families (we had 4 vehicles), but we made it work. The host contacted us prior to and upon arrival. He gave us plenty of information about things to do, along with coupons. Overall, great stay and memories made!
- Posted: 5/5/2024
Heya, Natalie. It's awesome to hear that you all had a blast at the festival in Townsend and are even thinking of making it an annual tradition! And how fun that the kids enjoyed the game room so much - sounds like they had a blast! The cabin's secluded location near the golf course must have been a dream, even with parking a bit tight. Here's to many more amazing trips in the future!
