Family vacation

The house was perfect ,we were able to stay ,enjoy each others company in the large dining and kitchen area ,then retreat to the comfort of our individual rooms. This location allows you to be close enough to both pigeon forge and the beautiful Smokey Mountains but not too close. This is a great house for family and friends to gather to enjoy the surrounding beauty and each others company.

Skoog Cedar Manor Family Gathering

We loved the place. It was perfect for our family including little ones. We had plenty of room to be together, yet everyone family had their own space. The property was also well supplied with everything we needed to cook our own family meals together. I personally loved the view. And the kids loved the access to all the things to do. Thank you

Feels Like Home!

We love to stay here every year! It's beautiful, clean, spacious, peaceful and close to two entrances to the Park. And only a short drive to Pigeon Forge. Our grandkids have grown up coming here for the last 8 years. All 10 of us can gather around the kitchen table for eating or games. The porch is our favorite place for enjoying the view and making s'mores. Thank you for sharing your lovely home!

Beautiful Stay

We had a wonderful stay at this property. It was very convenient for a wedding we attended. The house was clean, the furniture and beds were comfortable and there was so much space inside and out for the 10 adults in our group. This was an opportunity for my family from across the US to be together and visit. Thank you so much for making this a great family ‘reunion’.

We were extremely happy with Cedar Creek Manor. We really liked the beautiful views without the winding, steep, narrow roads. The only thing that would improve our stay will be an on-demand water heater. We were extremely pleased We will be back

Heaven on earth

No other home has ever worked for us as well as Cedar Creek. With 6 chikdren from 1-11 and 6 adults it is hard to find a property that works. Sitting on the front porch is worth the trip alone. The location is the perfect base for all our activities.

Great space for everyone

Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and furniture, great view. Kids have a place to play games and watch tv, adults have space to chat, play cards and board games. Convenient to all the places we love to visit, with privacy and quiet off the main road. We always reserve as soon as we have dates planned to ensure we get it. After 40 years visiting the Townsend area, it’s our favorite place we’ve ever rented. ❤️

Great place!Perfect Location

This house is better than expected. The host and hostess thought of everything and then some! The pictures on the website do not do it justice. It is a beautiful house and location is high enough to look at the beautiful mountains but close enough to the main road, you don't feel like you'll drive off the side of a mountain. If you have a family , this is a perfect place to stay

Simply spectacular!

Best view in the Smokies! It was wonderful to watch the mountains change during the day as the sunlight angle changed. Modern kitchen, lots of space and kids (and adults) loved the game room and the large front yard. So much fun was had by all! The owners are very accommodating and provided everything we needed for a wonderful week. Easy access to the National Park and the local eating establishments were first rate! Truly outstanding!

A Wonderful Place in the Smokies

Everything about our experience was fantastic! The communication was always fast and clear. The cabin itself is great, especially with small kids like we have. The gated stairs are terrific. There's a spacious yard to run around in -- a rarity in the Smokies -- and a tremendous view. The kids especially enjoyed going to visit the cows across the street. We will definitely add this one to our shortlist for future visits.

Relaxing visit at a lovely home

We were so impressed by how welcoming this home was! The kitchen had every tool or appliance you could imagine and all of the rooms were very comfortable and had plenty of extra pillows, blankets, etc. We enjoyed the game tables downstairs, especially on rainy days. The view was beautiful and we loved sitting out on the porch and watching the clouds move over the mountains. The location to the park was great and we were close to multiple local coffee shops and restaurants. We had a wonderful visit and would definitely come again!

Communication was interesting, but overall a great place!!

Everything was super clean, really organized, and overall it was a great stay! We had a little trouble with the door code at first and the microwave stopped working, but after a little communication we got it sorted it out. We would recommend watching items in the fridge because it can get so cold that it almost freezes things.Overall we would stay there again! Gorgeous views!!!
