Communication, Location and Accomodations
The communication with Derek was perfect. The check in was easy, he sent a brochure of everything you might need to know, and checked up on us in case we needed anything. Location-perfect. Went hiking and on Wednesday rode our E-bikes at Cades cove, not very busy because of the weather but a nice ride. Accomodations-everything you want or need. Very clean with plenty of towels. Will definitely be coming back to Heavens Trail.

Nestled in the Trees
If you are seeking 'your calm'..this is the place for you. This place offers such peace. The wrap around porch with the wooden rocking chairs offered a quiet place to meditate or a read a book. If you are coming with your family this place works for that too. Large fire pit to hang out after a day of hiking. Our 'go to' was the hot tub after hiking all day. Pure heaven. The cabin is definitely a place for a family to enjoy. The beds were very comfortable. And the large open area would work well for family. We loved it. All the amenities you need are in the kitchen. I want to thank Derek, who answered all my texts very quickly. He is very attentive. We will, for sure, be returning to this ,or one of the other mountain mist cabins. This place will not disappoint. Thanks Derek

This cabin was perfect for our vacation. It’s near everything we wanted but isolated enough to be private (you could just barely see other cabins). We would definitely stay again if we come back to the area.

Excellent weekend get away
The cabin exceeded my expectations. It had a pleasant wood cabin smell as soon as we entered. The amenities were exactly as described, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the cabin was clean and clutter free. Communication from the host was great, and all instructions were clear. The porches were very pleasant with nice views, but unfortunately it was too cold on our stay to really enjoy them. I would stay at this cabin again in the future!

Cozy cabin in the woods
The cabin exceeded expectations. It’s even prettier in person, with really unique, yet subtle details. Each bed was very comfortable. The bathrooms were plenty spacious with nice finishes. The kitchen had everything we needed for our short stay. We arrived after dark and were pleasantly surprised to see a light inside and outside had been left on for us. Such a small detail, but it made the cabin feel very welcoming from the start. The loft is huge! Way bigger than what I was expecting for a loft. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. I would definitely stay there again and have shared the link with friends. Thank you, Derek! I thoroughly enjoyed your beautiful property and really appreciate how responsive you were. Merry Christmas!

The property is clean and convenient to Townsend and GSMNP. Secluded and quiet but easy to find. We didn’t have a problem getting to the cabin but in inclement weather it could be a challenge. Overall very nice. Would stay there again.

Perfect Getaway
We were looking for a quiet, comfortable cabin to relax off the beaten path, and this cabin was perfect! It was clean upon arrival, well stocked with towels and starter amenities, and cozily peaceful. 30 minutes from any of the larger attractions, and we enjoyed Townsend itself for several outings. The host checked in and made sure we were comfortable. Highly recommend for a family to escape the hustle and bustle of Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg. Check out the river walk, covered bridge, swinging bridge, and Apple Valley.

It was nice
Our stay was nice, and it was very secluded and quite. We enjoyed the fire pit, even left a box of firewood for the next guest. Sitting out on the porch at night playing tic tax toe was also a nice break from our usual. The only issues we had were laundry was a bit inconvenient not being on site in the cabin and the driveway to the laundry cabin was very steep and not easy to navigate. The cabin was a bit dirty and we had to knock a wasps nest down in the bathroom with some very big spiders in the bedroom, that paired with a very unfriendly squirrel whom is living in the walls of the cabin made for some very interesting mornings from the scratching to the 5:30 wake up call being on my daughters bed. We understand that we were in the woods and wildlife do become part of their surroundings, so no harm here, just thought I would share because the screams that came from that room were hilarious and petrifying all at once.

The cabin was even better than expected. It was clean, had pots, pan, toiletries and plenty of towels. It is perfectly secluded at the top. We very much enjoyed the kitty that befriended us! We had issues finding the property but we contacted the host and they responded quickly. They even checked on us throughout our stay to make sure we had everything that was needed and were enjoying the cabin! So if you are questioning whether to pick this cabin, don't hesitate!

Loved this cabin It is secluded feeling yet minutes from town It is well equipped and we loved the outside fire pit. The only drawback was limited consumable supply’s and only 4 towels. They did supply more towels promptly upon request. The bonus was the most adorable porch kitty that adopted us while we were there. Would definitely stay again
