The cabin was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked with supplies. The area was beautiful and so quiet, we absolutely loved it!
After being in the "Busy" side of the Smokies, we enjoyed the quaint, quietness of Townsend. Everything was perfect except that we were expecting a hot tub, not just an inside spa tub.
We enjoyed this little cabin so much! It was the perfect get away for what we wanted. Peaceful and quiet at all times. Very comfortable place to spend our days.
We loved our stay at time well wasted! Very clean , secluded and so close to town. We ate at all local restaurants in Townsend and rode our E bikes through town and also through the cabin resort and by the golf course! Beautiful stay and would definitely recommend and would love to come back !
As usual Cyndie's cabins are always clean and comfortable. Cabin location was easily accessible yet was quiet and private. Another great stay in Townsend!
Perfect set up for two couples to stay together. There was a bathroom for each of us and more than adequate space in the living room and kitchen for us to eat, play games and visit together.
This is at least our 4th time staying at this property, and we’ve already booked our stay for 2025! This property is such a special place and is located in a peaceful and gorgeous setting. Highly recommend it for your stay in the Townsend area. Cyndie is wonderful and quick to respond, too.
We had a great time. The location of house is such a peaceful spot. The house was very comfortable and had plenty of room. The host was easy to reach for questions. We can't wait to return.
This cabin was the perfect family cabin and in the perfect location. We also got to experience a bear coming up on the back patio. We will definitely be staying again!
