We absolutely loved our stay at this cozy cabin in Townsend, TN! It’s perfectly tucked away—peaceful and quiet—yet only about 30 minutes from Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, so it felt like the best of both worlds.The cabin itself was incredibly spacious and so well kept. The kitchen was fully stocked with every utensil and piece of cookware we could possibly need. We ended up cooking breakfast every morning and most dinners after a long day of exploring, and it felt just like being at home (maybe even better!).One of our favorite features was the screened-in fire pit. With the crisp chill in the mountain air, it was the perfect spot to sit, relax, and warm up at the end of the day. And I cannot forget the hot tub/swim spa—after walking around Dollywood for hours, soaking in it was an absolute lifesaver. Our muscles thanked us!Overall, this cabin was everything we needed for a relaxing, comfortable getaway. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat close to all the major attractions!

This cabin is so lovely! The beds are comfortable, the layout and outdoor spaces are great, and the location is near enough to Dollywood and Gatlinburg but I'm a quieter part of the area. Much of the kitchen equipment needs to be replaced and the kitchen could have been cleaner, but overall, it was a great stay.

This cabin provided us with exactly what we needed… peace and tranquility! The pictures are accurate to what the cabin actually looks like. The roads to get there were a little scary (curvy, narrow mountain roads) but the scenery was breathtaking!! We have already discussed coming back to the “Zen” cabin!!!

We had a fantastic and relaxing weekend with old friends! The location is just far enough from downtown Pigeon Forge to give you peace and quiet, while still being only a quick and easy drive into town. For us, that balance was perfect.The kitchen was impressively well stocked, making it simple to enjoy meals together. The swim spa was a highlight — such a great way to unwind — and the sound system added a wonderful touch, creating a great atmosphere throughout our stay.This home truly offered everything we needed for a comfortable, enjoyable getaway. We’d absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat close to all the attractions!

The listing is exactly as it states a peaceful zen retreat. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The place was open and light and the floor to ceiling doors that open up were amazing. It was beautiful and peaceful. The swim spa was much needed after a 5 mile hike at Cades Cove. The place was very clean and Loni answered any questions I had before my stay, during, and followed up after. Excellent communication and had zero problems. I just wish we could have extended a day but it was already booked. My family and I would absolutely book this again. The baby bear visits were a highlight of our stay. He scared away easily so there was no worry. One of the best VRBO places we have had the pleasure to stay at.

Check in was seamless. Loni kept us informed before we arrived and made check in so easy. The kitchen was everything that was stated on the website. We cooked dinner one night and breakfast every morning. We had everything we needed . The house and property is so well thought out. So many small upgrades. We played music through the bluetooth sound system. The emails walked us right through how to use everything! The spa was out of this world. We had the pleasure to soak every evening. After retiring from the spa we ended every evening with a fire on the back porch. The entire trip was ao relaxing. We could relax because the cabin was so clean, had everything we needed plus a-lot more. We will be staying there again in the future!

We celebrated our son's high school graduation with a trip to Tennessee. It was the perfect size for the 7 of us. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking. I absolutely loved the stove! The swim spa was amazing and was used nightly. The owner was quick to respond to any of our questions we had. The location was perfect. Most places we visited were only a 20-30 minute drive at most. Five nights was just not long enough. Looking forward to going back again in the future. I would love to see the garden in bloom.
