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

Welcome to The Blue Door Cabin in Townsend, TN - "The Peaceful Side of the Smokies" ... Open the door, claim your bed (queen on the first floor, queen & twin trundle in the loft), grab a beverage (complimentary hot coffee and wine available at your arrival), and enjoy on one of the many screened-in porches where you can unwind in tranquility (depending on recent rainfall, you can hear nearby running water too).

Our charming and cozy, all-wood cabin is perfect for individuals on retreat, couples, friends who are getting together, and small families. The cabin sleeps up to 5 guests - there is a queen bedroom with a door on the first floor and a queen bed with twin trundle in the loft. We also offer 2 bathrooms - with a shower on the 2nd floor and a jacuzzi tub on the first floor.

Our specialty is your special occasion and/or newcomers to the Smoky Mountains; we are Smoky Mountain Enthusiasts and Townsend locals - so we would be delighted to help you with any of your trip-planning needs!

The Blue Door Cabin is located within a private, gated community and the drive to our location is mostly flat. We are located just minutes from the entrance to The Great Smoky Mountains, Cades Cove Cellars, Tuckaleechee Caverns, River Rats, The Dancing Bear, the Heritage Center, and the Foothills Parkway (to name a few).

Over the summer, guests can use the Honeysuckle Pool on Happy Hollow Road in Wears Valley for $5 per person, per day. The day pass also includes a fishing permit to catch and release in the private pond.

The fireplace is available for use October through April.

Guests of the Blue Door Cabin enjoy our cleanliness, the screened-in porches, the flat and paved roadway to cabin, and REAL hosts (no robots nor management company).

Townsend--The Peaceful Side
The Blue Door Cabin is quiet, peaceful, very private, clean, and inviting. The porch was our favorite place to read and listen to nature. When it rains, the tin roof makes it special. The location is perfect for exploring Townsend, Cades Cove, and Maryville. The Abbey in Townsend offers a wonderful menu with seating outdoors by the creek. The Vienna Coffee House in Maryville, along with shops, makes for a fun day. It's a very walkable town. After a day of exploring, the cabin offers a welcome home. It is obvious the hosts take pride in their cabin and enjoy sharing it with others.

This cabin is perfect! You’re just minutes from the park. It’s also close enough to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg without being in the middle of that craziness if you done want to deal with that. The owners were extremely helpful and were quick to respond to any questions we had. Will definitely be staying here for future trips

Cozy, extremely clean, comfy cabin
We really loved staying in this cabin. It was very comfy and had everything you could possibly need even a sound machine! Close to Smoky Mountain National Park and Cades Cove too as was plenty of restaurants and shops in Townsend. The screened in porch was a lovely place to sit and enjoy our morning coffee. Loved Barry the Bear!

This cabin is wonderful. Hubby and I are not the shop Gatlinburg types. We enjoyed the porches and the quiet. We still enjoyed beautiful drives with the fall leaves, wildlife and beautiful sunsets. We would choose this cabin again.

A “BEARY” Good Week at the Blue Door
I made our reservation six months prior to our visit for hiking and seeing Autumn color in GSMNP. Blue door was a new listing, with NO reviews. Boy, … I sure am glad we went with our instincts. The host was great about communicating all my questions. Everything was perfect. The decor is darling. The location ideal and quiet. Very clean. The best part was the front porch after a day of hiking. Thanks Elena and Andrew for a great visit. Hopefully, we will be back again.

This sweet cabin is tucked into the trees and almost out of sight of anyone passing. We loved the screened porches. It has everything you need: washer/dryer, dishwasher, coffee bar, 2 beds and even a foot massager. We didn’t want to leave.

Our best VRBO experience so far
We booked this place for our anniversary. We wanted a place that was close to the park without all the traffic of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. This place was perfect. The cabin is nestled in the woods in a very quiet gated community. The owners put a lot of thought into decorating and making sure you have what you need during your stay. The communication with the owners was flawless. We are already taking about renting this place again next year.

Wonderful experience
We had a wonderful experience at the Blue Door cabin! It was clean, quiet, peaceful and spacious for our family of four. The hosts were super responsive with any questions we had and got back to us right away throughout the process. It is nestled pretty far back in the neighborhood, which involved some steep grades and blind curves, but we appreciated the quietness of the neighborhood. We loved the screened in porches, the use of the club pool (it was closed one day for cleaning, which was too bad) and the beds were super comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need and it was great to have the washer/dryer. If you are like us and want to stay on the "quieter side" of GSMNP, this is a great option! I hope we can come back again.
