Secluded and Serene.
Nice little cabin in the woods, clean and ready with everything you need for your vacation. We only really stayed here to sleep, because we were exploring the area in and around the Smoky Mountains. My only concern was that we stayed in the downstairs bedroom and all the sounds from upstairs could be heard. The host Jeremy was very responsive and overall it was a very pleasant experience. Thank you.

Peaceful Side of the Smokies
My family and I loved staying in this beautiful cabin and hope to come back in the future! The cabin was clean and cozy. Check-in and out went very smoothly. Townsend is called the Peaceful Side of the Smokies for good reason. My family and I definitely preferred having a calm retreat at the end of the day, instead of the bustle of Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. Jeremy (the owner) was quick to respond to any request or question. He and his father went above and beyond to clear off trees that had fallen across the road during a pretty incredible wind storm. I highly recommend!

Good location
We were traveling to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park with our elementary age daughters and my parents. This cabin was convenient for our needs. Hot water, firm mattresses with plenty of clean linens. Wi-Fi was great and smart TV's were easy to use. Kitchen was adequate, though the light cooking we did in oven and on stovetop revealed a quirky appliance. Pots and pans, baking sheets, cooking utensils, dishes for all six of us. Not a spice, oil or dry good at all. We did find room for improvement on the overall maintenance - toilets not cleaned, lightbulbs missing or flickering all weekend. The loft bedroom worked for us, but be aware that it has no door or storage. Parking was a squeeze for two vehicles without obstructing the mountain road. Watch the video, this was very helpful to feel confident approaching the property.

Lack of maintenance
Very nice cabin. Location was great. However, maintenance doesn’t appear to be done on a timely manner. Light bulbs burnt out, 1 burner on the stove doesn’t work, knives need replaced, yard needed mowed.

Cozy but noisy
Very nice cabin, but noise traveled throughout the entire cabin very easily. Water pressure was great. Needed more toliet paper and better quality kitchen items. Oven/stove was wonky and dryer seemed to b on the fritz. Road into cabin was unsure of if people would be coming or not.

Great place.
We had a great time. Good location. Clean cabin. My kids saw deer from the back deck. Sleeping arrangements were fine for my wife and I and three kids. Only complaint is that the floors were super thin, so you could hear every step someone makes upstairs. We have little kids so we put them down early. So they weren’t walking around while we were trying to sleep, so it wasn’t a big deal for us. We had so much fun in the smokies!

Great cabin for a fishing trip!
Very nice cabin with all the amenities. One guest uses a walker and it was wonderful because the porch and lower level had no steps! Hard to find in a cabin. Cooked some meals in the good kitchen. Has dishwasher, that’s a must for me. Big dining area and huge living room. Comfy. Has fireplace too. Cabin was neat and clean. Oh, and plenty of towels!

Stayed here with our grandchildren. It was a great area and not too crowded. We spent days at Smoky Mountain National Park and the cabin had easy access. Nice, with bedroom and loft upstairs for the kids and we could have our own bedroom downstairs.

We had a great stay at Mountain Deer Pass. Was super easy to communicate with the host with makes things so much better for an upcoming trip. The cabin was easy to get to, and in a great location if you want to check out an event in Maryville or visit Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. All the beds we're very comfortable. The king was my favorite. We will stay here again if it's available on our dates.

Remote feel, close to the action
Wonderful cabin nestled in the woods, a very short drive from town. Close to Smokey Mt National Park, restaurants, caverns, and tubing. 30 minutes to Pigeon Forge. Wifi and smart tvs to keep everyone happy. The only drawback is the cabin has very little sound proofing- you can hear conversations through the floor. I’m a light sleeper so I used ear plugs and slept fine. Would definitely stay again.
