Pet Friendly near Gatlinburg

KristinRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a wonderful stay! We were in the area as my daughter’s team was playing at the Ripken baseball fields. The house is a great cabin to stay away from the hustle of the parkway but close enough to enjoy the area

Family/Pet Friendly Cabin

BrittanyRating, 5 stars3 months ago
I can’t thank Alison and Jason enough for being the best host and providing our family with an ideal place to stay minutes from the parkway and also not a far drive from the scenic Cades cove! Alison and Jason provided so many details on other things to do and places to eat/visit while in town and we couldn’t be happier with them and their beautiful cabin!

HaroldRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Enjoyed our stay in this lovely cabin. The noise from the main road was a distraction however the quality of the cabin and its contents made up for this hindrance. We did not see any Elk but enjoyed the beautiful Mountain View!

3 Bedroom House Near Pigeon Forge !

Charlie Rating, 5 stars3 days ago
Jeremy and Janie were super responsive from the very start, even while we were just planning our trip. Any questions we had were quickly answered, which made everything so easy. Their place was clean, simple, and beautiful, exactly what we needed. They’ve been some of the best hosts we’ve had, and we’d definitely stay here again on our next trip to Tennessee. Also, no pet fee, which was such a great bonus! Thanks again, Jeremy and Janie! 🙂

Relaxing Eagles Ridge Getaway | Hot Tub

AngelaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Host was very good at communicating and everything was as pictured or better (a pic of the loft where the pool table is located had an older style tv, but on arrival all the tv’s were flat screen smart tv’s-three in total-bedroom/living room/loft). They had everything you could possibly need including fans, for those who can’t sleep at night without a fan. Literally a few minutes from the main strip in Pigeon Forge, yet felt like you were really in a more remote location. Cabin was great, hot tub and pool table were awesome amenities and made the stay so much better. The community of cabins where this is located was quiet and safe, and provided a nice place to get a good workout in the evenings if you like to walk like we do. We stayed a week and everything you’d like to do is so close! Gatlinburg is not very far either. The bed was VERY comfortable to us, which is unusual because we have a sleep number bed at home. Looking forward to returning and would definitely book again.

VIEWS|Private|Romantic|Loft Theater

ThomasRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The space is incredible. Pictures could never do it justice. Especially for early risers the sunrise from the back porch is amazing, and for a family with one or two young kids, the loft area is a dream. David was a phenomenal host. The cabin is beautifully decorated and also labeled everywhere to make things easy to find. We appreciated so much the attention to detail. Like having two mugs with packets of hot cocoa mix sitting out on the kitchen counter and so many other things just like that. At the location you feel so secluded, but in less than 10 minutes you’re in the heart of Pigeon Forge or drive a little further and you find yourself in Gatlinburg or exploring Smoky Mountain National Park. I’d highly recommend this to anyone looking for a trip to the smoky mountains or just a cabin getaway.

Your guide to Townsend

All About Townsend

Nestled in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, Townsend, Tennessee is synonymous with natural beauty. It’s one of three gateway cities into the mountain range, and with a population of just about 350 people, it’s an ideal destination for those seeking to explore the area from a small-town base.

The area around Townsend is steeped in history, with archaeological finds dating as far back as 2,000 B.C. — the Tuckaleechee caverns here are estimated to be 30 million years old. There are a number of museums dedicated to the preservation and appreciation of Townsend’s past, including the Great Smoky Mountains Heritage Center and the Little River Railroad and Lumber Museum, which speaks to the community’s ties to the construction of the railway.

In spite of its tranquil setting, Townsend is by no means a sleepy town; the community offers a packed schedule of festivals and events year-round. Immerse yourself in local lore at the annual Smoky Mountain Bigfoot festival, celebrate autumn’s colors at the Fall Heritage Festival, and add a little whimsy to your holiday during the enchanting Hot Air Balloon Festival.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Townsend

Each season in Townsend brings a different reason to spend time outdoors. Visit in the winter and be rewarded with cozy days at your cabin rental in Townsend between taking scenic drives in the snow or fishing in one of many nearby rivers. When things warm up a bit, festivals and seasonal events dot the calendar. May sees the annual Smoky Mountain Bigfoot Festival roll into town. Early summer means the arrival of the annual firefly viewing, where you can witness millions of these glowing bugs light up the night sky as they search for the perfect mate. If you visit towards the end of summer, you can experience the Great Smoky Mountains Hot Air Balloon Festival. In autumn, the leaves turn fiery shades of red and gold, and the Fall Heritage Festival in September celebrates Appalachian cooking alongside bluegrass music, arts, and crafts.


Top things to do in Townsend

Once you’ve explored the unmatched beauty of the Smoky Mountains above, it’s time to take a peek below the surface and marvel at the ancient Tuckaleechee Caverns. Estimated to be between 20 and 30 million years old, these underground chambers are home to 24-foot stalagmites and a breathtaking 210-feet, two-tier waterfall. Access to the caves is only available from March to November, so bear that in mind when planning a trip here.

Cades Cove

Cades Cove is one of the star attractions in the Great Smoky Mountains, and you can explore this picturesque valley by taking an 11-mile loop road that snakes through one of the oldest mountain ranges in the United States. This lush landscape is home to all manner of wildlife, including white-tailed deer, black bears, and turkeys, as well as historic cabins and mills and hiking trails.

Little River
