Family/Pet Friendly Cabin

BrittanyRating, 5 stars2 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!

Wears Valley Retreat Dog area Seasonal pool OPEN

ErikaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The cabin was exactly as described and comfortable for our family of six. It was very clean, and we appreciated all of the labels in the kitchen indicating where to find items. It was conveniently located near all the attractions. Danny was very responsive and a great host. We'd definitely recommend a stay at Wears Valley Retreat.

The Great Outdoors

NicholasRating, 5 stars2 months ago
This cabin was exactly what we needed. It was very pristine and everything was exactly as pictured. The host was always responsive with anything I asked. The hot tub was the best we’ve had at a cabin so far and worked perfectly unlike others that were old and weak in the past. It snowed the last day there and we enjoyed the views from the balcony. The large windows and porch provide an amazing view of the large mountains nearby. It was a winter wonderland. The fireplace was great and blasted heat as it is just controlled by a dial that is extremely handy for immediate heat and beauty. The bed slept amazing and we were very happy with the overall set up of the cabin. We would definitely stay in this exact cabin again on our next trip.

Cozy Log Cabin! Hot Tub+Fire Pit+Grill+ Arcade

RobertRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Great quiet place that was perfect for 2 people. Everything worked well and we had no problems except when the power went out for about 4 hours which was due to the bad weather that was in the area overnight. All of the amenities worked. Only complaint was that we needed kitchen trash bags in which i thought was available at the house but the only bag was the one in the trash can. Also, checkout time is at 10AM in which i wish was either 11AM or noon. All in all, i would definitely rebook this cabin. It met all of our expectations.

VIEWS|Private|Romantic|Loft Theater

ThomasRating, 5 stars4 days 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

Tuckaleechee Caverns

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

The enchantingly named Little River runs the length of Townsend and creates the perfect backdrop for a day of outdoor fun. One of the most popular activities in the area is tubing down the river. The slow-moving water creates the perfect atmosphere to unwind and cool down on a hot summer day.
