The Trails End Cabin was amazing, beautiful for our 2 day stay. Wish we had more time there (could have stayed for ever). Owner provided all details for easy check-in Cabin had everything you need. She made a special stop in when we arrived and whirlpool didnt work due to storm surge. Really comfortable bed and pillows.

Overall great cabin!

Pros: beautiful, clean, roomy and secluded, lots of wildlife. Saw a bear the first day feet from the cabin. Cons: Primary bedroom mattress needs replaced, tended to be a little too warm for my taste in primary bedroom. Hot tub did not get very hot and would be better outside.

Make sure to get a gate code to the neighborhood. Other than the gates being closed the last night, and there only being 1 shower, we had a great stay. Would book again.

Best getaway ever! Glad we chose the "peaceful side"

We didn't know what was meant by "the peaceful side of the Smokies" until we got there. So glad we chose this property! Townsend is a quiet, quaint town that is an easy drive to the park, Cades Cove or any of the attractions in Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge you want to check out. This propery was better than what was pictured! The jetted tub was a great way to relax after a day of hiking. Better than the hot tub. We could hear frogs chirping and watch fireflies blinking. We would definitely stay here again!
