🐾Our Dog-Friendly Approach
We love hosting well-behaved, house-trained dogs over 1 year old. Please send us a message with your dog’s age and breed upon booking so we can confirm suitability. A $100 pet fee per stay applies (unless otherwise noted) to help cover additional cleaning. Our official limit is 2 dogs, but let us know if you are bringing 3. We appreciate you ensuring your furry friend treats the cabin gently, as guests are responsible for any damages beyond normal wear. Please use the designated outdoor pet area and help keep the space clean by picking up after your dog. Some waste stations may be provided for your convenience. A friendly note for guests with allergies: While we thoroughly clean after every stay, please remember this is a dog-welcoming home. If you have severe dog allergies, this may not be the most comfortable environment for you.


📝Helpful Cabin Information
✔ We welcome guests 21 years of age and older to book and be the primary renter.
✔ Hot tub use is at your own risk. For guests 21+ only. No alcohol near the hot tub. Not recommended during pregnancy.
✔ To ensure everyone’s comfort and safety, please make sure your guest count matches your reservation. Unregistered guests may incur an additional fee ($25 per person per night) or require adjustments to the stay.
✔ To ensure a peaceful experience for everyone in the area, we kindly ask guests to observe quiet hours between 10 PM and 9 AM.
✔ Enjoy the cozy ambiance of the electric fireplace during the cooler months (it’s operational from October 1st through March 31st).
✔ For safety reasons and per local regulations, open flames (including candles and unauthorized outdoor fires) are not permitted. We appreciate your cooperation in preventing fire hazards. Misuse may result in a $250 fee plus any damage costs.
✔ Help us keep the wildlife wild and safe! Please store all food indoors and secure trash only within the provided bear-proof bins. Leaving food or trash outside can attract bears and other curious critters.
✔ Enjoy observing wildlife from a safe distance. For their safety and yours, please refrain from feeding or approaching any animals. Feeding bears, in particular, puts them and humans at risk and can have serious consequences for the bears.
✔ We provide a starter supply of towels, linens, shampoo, soap, and even toothbrushes just in case you forget yours!
✔ While we stock the basics, please remember to bring your favorite coffee, K-cups, condiments, and food storage items like zip locks to make your stay perfect.
✔ We trust you’ll treat our cabin with care, just as you would your own home. Please note that guests are responsible for any damages incurred during their stay.

Mountain Mist Cabins our favorite place to stay in the Smokey’s

This is our second time staying at Uncle Toms cabin in Townsend. This cabin has a great location, secluded but also close to Maryville and the Park and minutes from Cades Cove. The cabin is clean, beautifully decorated, comes with essentials you might need if you forgot something. The owner Derek is very responsive, and always makes sure your stay is a wonderful experience. We can’t wait to book next years trip with Mountain Mist

Nice, quiet cabin

Very nice cabin for family of four, (kids). Very clean and well appointed. WiFi was very good. Two couples might find it too small as only one bathroom. Hot tub was very nice as well. I stayed with my 16 year old son for hiking/biking in the area. Very pretty. Smokies are worth the drive/stay. Manager responds quickly. Rent with ease of mind
