Need a special place to get away from it all? April Charm is the cabin for you! Nestled on a private wooded lot, April Charm offers a calming and serene location to relax and unwind.

Situated in the beautiful Smoky Mountains, our 2-story cabin offers all the comforts of home. Cades Cove, the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, is a short 10-minute drive from the cabin. The Cades Cove loop allows some of the most scenic views, the best opportunities to see wildlife, miles of hiking trails, and historic sites to learn about early Tennessee life in the mountains.

The Wild Laurel Golf Course is a short 0.9 miles from our cabin. Wild Laurel is a public, full-service, par 70, 18-hole golf course. Don’t worry if you forgot your clubs or don’t have any room to pack them, you may rent clubs at the Pro Shop. If you need an adult beverage or a quick snack, feel free to visit the Tavern and enjoy the incredible views from the Club House.

Looking for some fun in the sun during your stay or need an activity to keep those kids busy and entertained? Our sweet little town of Townsend offers walking and biking trails and we have a beautiful scenic River for tubing and fishing. For the less energetic, there are shops and museums to explore.

Snuggle in to watch your favorite shows on our Smart TV or to get a much-deserved good nights rest!

Upstairs we have a second bedroom with 2 comfy queen-size beds - perfect for those seeking a separate children’s area or to accommodate best friends who joined in on your trip. A jack n jill bathroom with tub/shower combo seperates the bedroom from the open sleeping loft. In the upstairs open sleeping loft you will find a queen size bed, smart Tv, pub Table and Foosball table.


We invite you to enjoy our beautiful wooded lot from the back porch where you will be serenaded by the birds. (Morning coffee tastes best on the porch!) You may even be lucky enough to spot one of our beautiful black bears or grazing deer. And for those grill experts eager to create a special outdoor meal, we have an outdoor dining table and a gas grill for your use and feel free to plug in those patio lights for an extra special cozy feel. We have an outdoor fire pit in the back yard to end your perfect evening at sharing stories, having smores or just taking in the peace and serenity of our cozy and comfortable cabin.

Perfect Place for Several Friends to Share a Space
The cabin was very clean and nicely decorated. There are enough beds for each person in a friend group of four to have their own place to sleep. It was easy to communicate with the property manager and when the battery in the smoke detector needed to be replaced, it was promptly addressed. My only complaint—-the key code VRBO sent me to enter the cabin was incorrect and I had to call the property manager to have the lock reset and get they correct access code. My friends and I will be back next fall for another stay in April Charm.

Quiet and Comfortable Cabin
We stayed at April Charm last year, and decided to make this our home-away-from-home again this year for our annual Smoky trip. The cabin is in a great location, very near to town, but out far enough that it feels secluded. We enjoyed the porch every morning and evening for coffee time, and the grands love the upstairs get-away! The cabin isn’t perfect, but it’s a great place to stay. The host has provided everything you will need for your visit, and she goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great stay! We had a great time, and we would definitely stay here again!

Mountain Get Away
The cabin was perfect for us.. 4 ladies who slept comfortably (except for one of the beds upstairs which was very hard!). We were there for concerts in Maryville and the location of the cabin was perfect! Loved the peaceful nights and mornings. Even got to see a bear!!! Thank you for the chocolates!!!

We didn’t plan to spend a lot of time at the house we rented, so we picked a spot based on a balance of location, function, and price. This spot was everything it said it was…no issues at all!

Secluded location. Not a majestic view but we loved being away from all the hustle and bustle. We’ve stayed here several times in the past. Always a great experience. Beds are a little on the hard side. The cabin was very clean.

Cute little cabin
This is a cute little cabin nestled in a wooded area. The cabin was equipped with everything we needed during our stay- washer and dryer, appliances in kitchen, full sized refrigerator, etc. If there were anything negative to say about the cabin it would be that the plumbing is loud. Otherwise, we were satisfied with the cabin and our stay.
