Top Cades Cove Hotel Reviews

Cozy Cottage near National Park w/ Awesome Mountain Views! Extremely clean!

10/10 Excellent

"Melody was an amazing host! The Rancher had everything we needed and then some and was clean as could be! We are planning to book with her on our next trip to Tennessee!"

The Blue Door Cabin: Charming, All-Wood w/Screened-in Porches - quiet & relaxing

8/10 Good

"Very cute cabin. Perfect for a couple or small family. Shower upstairs is nice but not much room to get in and out. Has a nice wood smell. Not musty like some cabins. We would stay again."

Log Cabin, walk to National park trails and minutes from Gatlinburg with a view!

10/10 Excellent

"Book this place! It is so well-kept and in a spectacular location. Just to give you an idea; the cabin is about a 9 minute drive to the 'main street' in Townsend (restaurants, visitor center, gift shops, coffee) and it's a scenic drive down. The cabin sits close off a 1 1/2 lane road. There is a neighbor to the right, but not close enough to bother you at all. From the front porch you have mountain views and there is a cow farm across the road - my 3 year old loved seeing them everyday! The living room is cozy and huge. There are a few games. My daughter's favorite was the small pinball one. The bathroom is on the first floor. The room with the king bed is upstairs - very comfy. Townsend is such a wonderful place to visit, just know it's a lot more driving than I anticipated to sightsee like Cades Cove, Spruce Flats Falls, etc."

Tremont Lodge & Resort
