About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Extremely clean cabin in a quiet setting with an outdoor fire pit.

Are you overdue for some rest and relaxation? Is it time to get away from the stress and pressures of everyday living? Step into a place where you can find the serenity that only the closeness to nature can provide. Our Hideout log cabin is located in the shadows of beautiful Rich Mountain. Woods alive with the sounds of songbirds surrounding you. Hiking trails with wildflowers and wildlife are just minutes outside your door. Enjoy a leisurely cup of coffee and a good book in your rocking chair on the front porch, or enjoy an evening around the campfire cooking s'mores. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park and lots of fun activities are just a close drive away, but most of our guests say the favorite part of their visit is the 'home away from home' experience they get right at the Hideout.

Please note that the map shows the National Park is 57 minutes away, but that is to the Sugarlands Visitors Center in the middle of the Park. Our cabin is only a 10 minute drive to the National Park's Townsend entrance, or you can hike into the National Park within a 2 minute drive to the Schoolhouse Gap or Rich Mountain trails, (from the lesser known trailheads. Which are favorable during the busy tourist seasons!)

There are several great restaurants in the immediate Townsend area. We highly recommend the award winning Dancing Bear Bistro, which is only 7 minutes away, https://dancingbearlodge.com/dining/. The Abbey (along Little River) has live music on weekends, trivia nights on Thursdays, and daily gourmet specials. The Little River Pub (also along the Little River) has excellent sandwiches, drinks and our favorite Moonshine Pulled Pork Nachos. And the Trailhead Steak and Trout is a local favorite. To experience the "true locals", get a world famous chili and slaw hot dog at the Parkway Grocery Gulf gas station. They've sold over a million hot dogs and have been featured on tv. I may be a bit proud and biased because my daughter and son-in-law are the owners, but you won't be disappointed!

Our cabin has cable and Wi-Fi along with the DVR feature in case you don't want to miss your favorite team's games while you're exploring the National Park. There are also card games, board games, books, and puzzles to enjoy while relaxing in the cabin.

If you are really adventurous, you may want to rent mountain bikes and ride the Vee Hollow trails right in Townsend, https://rideveehollow.com/. Or you can rent electric or standard bikes to ride on the bike path that stretches the length of Townsend, while stopping at one of our many coffee shops and local artisan shops for a perfect combination of exercise, fun and relaxation.

Many of our guests have fallen in love with the beauty and peacefulness of vacationing in our cozy Hideout cabin in Townsend, TN, and keep returning year after year. We hope you will too!

Scottish Fest Getaway

This place is amazing! So serene, peaceful and private. Super clean and had everything we needed to grill out. Hot tub, huge rain style shower head and furry throws and pillows made me feel like I was vacationing at a spa. Cannot wait to return! A picnic table by the fire pit would be the cherry on top of this amazing getaway!!! Thank you to the owners for an unforgettable weekend of family bonding!!we WILL be back!

Ken and Cheryl

Every thing was outstanding. Kitchen completely equipped and very easy to use. Setting very quiet and comfortable. Melody gave much better directions than my car gps, very close to stores in Townsend for smacks and quick meals .Especially enjoyed the mountain foothills parkway and balanced with Cades Cove. Found suggestions from the Townsend visitor center really added to our previous info about the area.

Blissful stay!

This spot felt like a little slice of heaven. My wife and I loved it so much that we immediately recommended it to our friends and a family is going there next month. They are so excited after we shared our experience with them. The place was so clean. It had everything we needed. The host is fantastic in communication. The internal hot tub was an immediate favorite for us. The outdoor fireplace is a gorgeous setting. We plan to go there annually!

3rd Time and Still Love It!

This was our third time staying at the Hideout, and it has become our home away from home when spending time in the area. While we do eat out some, we try to cook several meals at the cabin. The kitchen is well-appointed, and we always use the charcoal grill. We also enjoy hanging out at the firepit when the weather cooperates. The beds are comfortable, and my husband especially liked the new rocker/swivel/recliners. This is a great place to stay for a couple or a small family. We also enjoy being out of town for the peace and quiet but close enough that it doesn't take long to get to the grocery store if needed. I'm sure we'll be back for a fourth time. All of our communications with the owners have been great! They are very, very nice.

Excellent little hideaway

We just loved the hideaway cabin! From the comfortable Adirondack chairs around the fire pit, to the rocking chairs on the front porch, to the deep warm Jacuzzi tub, it was the perfect home base as we explored the Smoky mountains. There were even snacks provided!
