We enjoyed this beautiful cabin near Townsend. Justin was a great host and responded quickly.- Posted: 7/19/2025
Edgardo, thank you for your kind words. We're glad you enjoyed the cabin and appreciated Justin’s quick responses. We hope to host you again in the future!Smoky Mountain Holiday staff
Beautiful and very well-maintained place! My friends and I had a wonderful stay. The neighborhood is peaceful which made our visit even more enjoyable. Would definitely recommend!- Posted: 7/6/2025
Great place. The place was exactly as described and great location. would definitely go again. Justin was quick to respond amd easy to work with.- Posted: 6/23/2025
The cabin was great! The main floor had a spacious great room and nice kitchen. The bedrooms on the main floor were mirror images of each other, which made things easy. Both were plenty big with very nice bathrooms. The downstairs was perfect for 4 young kids, they enjoyed the pool table and air hockey table. The pull out couch was also a big hit. The bedrooms worked well for them also. The main deck was great for the adults in the evenings and night. The kids enjoyed the hot tub. The only hiccups were the arcade game not having a power cord and not having a code to get through the gate at night. Luckily a resident was kind enough to give us theirs
The location was also great, it was nice being away from busy Pigeon Forge. Townsend is a very nice area, that is an easy drive to so many activities. The neighborhood was nice and quiet also. We would stay there again and would highly recommend it to other families. Our 2 families very much enjoyed it.- Posted: 6/21/2025
Everything was great ! Super responsive host and the place was very clean ! Will Deffinetly stay here again this summer!!!! Thanks guys!- Posted: 6/15/2025
We absolutely loved this location from the moment you walk in to the time you leave it was amazing experience. Everyone enjoyed family bonding through the on sight games. Me and my wife loved the hot tub the view was amazing. We would definitely come back and it is Highly recommend Thank you guys so much- Posted: 6/13/2025

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.- Posted: 6/5/2025
The location, accommodations, and just were amazing. Highly recommended!!!- Posted: 6/1/2025
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.- Posted: 5/29/2025
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!- Posted: 5/25/2025
Seriously one of our favorite stays! Beautiful place and surroundings. So quiet and such a gorgeous place. Thankful for such a responsive host and the hottub, pool table and air hockey was a winner with our kids!- Posted: 5/15/2025
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.- Posted: 5/1/2025
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!- Posted: 4/18/2025
Absolutely amazing time. Justin was very responsive. House and amenities are 5 out of 5 stars. Beautiful location. Peaceful, relaxing.- Posted: 4/13/2025

Great stay, will visit again.- Posted: 10/2/2024
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- Posted: 9/28/2024

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.- Posted: 9/5/2024
Great place to stay in Townsend! Perfect for families and kids. Kitchen is well-stocked and super clean. Will book again!- Posted: 6/8/2024

Great stay, kids absolutely loved it! Justin was so helpful can’t wait to stay again.- Posted: 5/9/2024
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!Smoky Mountain Holiday staff
This is the best cabin we have stayed in in the area. Super clean. Great for kids. Pac Man, Pool and Air Hockey. We can't wait to bring our grandkids with us next year!- Posted: 5/2/2024
That's amazing to hear, Laura! I'm thrilled that you had such a fantastic experience at the cabin. It sounds like a blast with all those fun games! Can't wait to welcome you and your grandkids next year for even more memorable moments!Smoky Mountain Holiday staff
Perfect getaway for families. All the entertainment options meant the kids never uttered the words "I'm bored."- Posted: 4/1/2024
We stayed here with friends for my daughter's wedding that was in Maryville which was only about a 25 minute drive. We really enjoyed our stay, just wish we had more time there. A very nice place to stay.- Posted: 3/24/2024

This home is absolutely beautiful and clean . The only 3 issues we had was the parking in driveway. It was tight squeeze for 3 cars . The other was cold down stairs , they did have 2 little heaters and a lot of blankets . The last one is the tv in master room did not work.- Posted: 1/1/2024
Hello there, Brandon. We're grateful for your positive feedback on the beauty and cleanliness of the home. Apologies for the parking constraints and temperature issues downstairs. We appreciate your understanding and hope you had an enjoyable stay overall. Thank you for selecting our home for your stay!Smoky Mountain Holiday staff
We had a great time at the cabin. It is a beautiful place to stay and it’s not a bad drive to get to pigeon forge or other surrounding areas. The beds are some of the best beds I’ve slept in away from home. The basement was freezing cold but is a fun space to hang out with kids. The only thing I wish was different is the lighting outside by the hot in. You can’t see anything out there. Otherwise everything was great and I would come back!- Posted: 12/23/2023
Hello Taylor! Your feedback made my day—I'm thrilled you had a great time and found the beds comfortable. Creating a comfy and relaxing space is a point of pride for me. Regarding the lighting outside by the hot tub, I'll certainly look into improving that for future guests—thanks for pointing it out. Hosting you was a pleasure, and I'd love to have you back for another stay in the future. See you soon!Smoky Mountain Holiday staff
