Great weekend getaway

We enjoyed our time in this cabin and loved the outdoor spaces to relax and play games and visit with one another. It was also very close to hiking and biking trails!

The outdoor space made this a perfect stay

Who needs room inside when you have the coziness of the outdoor space. Tons of comfy seating outside with a screened in porch. It rained while we were there and there was nothing better than lounging outside on the screen porch listening to the rain. While we really enjoyed the outside space the indoor space was clean and more than comfortable. Really quiet, really peaceful. The small city of Townsend is quaint and perfect if you want to stay in the Smokeys but away from the commercialized area of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Would stay here again.

Private, yet close to town.

Very nice cabin, had all of the features we were looking for. Plenty of room with 3 bedrooms plus the downstairs was akin to an entire suite all by itself. My only negative was no laundry supplies so left some for future visitors. Would definitely book again.

Blue Door Cabin in Townsend

Great location spacious outdoor areas, wrap around porch with hot tub, large firepit area with plenty of seating. Bedrooms & bathrooms were adequately described with cleans linens. Kitchen needed some measuring cups & spoons; upgrade on dishwasher & fridge would make it nicer, but they worked. We enjoyed the peace & quite in the wooded area just off the mail highway. Great time with family! We would recommend it to travelers coming into the area.

Great cabin.

We had a great time. The cabin was the perfect size and arrangement for our group. We had trouble getting the fireplace started and I messaged the owner and he called house phone immediately. We all got a kick out of the house phone too….kids had never seen one. Lol. My friend spent some time on the deck on the bed swing and loved it.

Great time at the Blue Door Cabin

My famiily spent Thanksgiving at the Blue Door Cabin. It was perfect for my family of 6. Plenty of room for family members to spread out or to be together. Cozy room downstairs for movie watching or video game playing. The grandchildren especially enjoyed the hot tub. Would definitely rebook for another few days of togetherness. Anthony was very resposive with any questions - a great host.

Perfect Location

All three of the couples that stayed there loved the location and the cabin. Townsend is the quiet side of the Smokies, but it’s perfectly located to Gatlinburg, Seiverville and pigeon Forge. You couldn’t ask for a better location. We would definitely stay there again.

Great Cabin and great Experience

Upon arrival the cabin is in a nice woods setting. It’s close to town but far enough away that it was quiet and cozy. The cabin had a great feel to it and felt like home compared to the commercialized cabins in Gatlinburg or the bigger town. The inside was extremely clean and comfortable, had plenty of space and just felt “homie”. Great cabin and hope it’s available on our next trip.

Quick weekend trip

Overall the cabin was ok. We were able to enjoy our time. It could have been better had we been aware of a few things. There were several rocky, uneven, stairs to walk down to get into the cabin which was hard on my elderly sisters. I thought by the photos there was no steps. All of the outside furniture was extremely dirty, dusty, and had long hair in many places on the cushions. All of the outside porch area needed a deep cleaning - lots of dust and cobwebs - we did not feel comfortable using the outside seating. Too bad as there was lots of chairs, swings, rockers, etc. Apparently some type of construction across the street that blew dust towards us so bad we had to run inside the house. The inside was clean - but all the blinds were very dusty and windows were so dirty it was hard to see out of the windows on the back side of the house. Other than that the interior of the house was clean. The lawn crew came at 8:30 Saturday morning. Even used their very loud, gas powered blower and literally walked up on and all around on the porch of the house - at 8:30am!! Honestly would not rent this one again. It just was not a good fit for us.

Very Enjoyable

My wife and I enjoyed a very relaxed week here. The cabin was clean and well maintained. Communication with the owner was prompt. Everything was as presented on the web site. While it was just the 2 of us and we didn't take advantage of things like the hot tub or fire pit the cabin would be a great place for a large or multiple families with a lot of activities available. We chose it for it's peaceful location and easy accessibility to the peaceful side of the Smokies. We had a great time and would love to come back again.

Great stay!

We stayed at the cabin while visiting family that have homes in Townsend. The location was great and close to all that Townsend has to offer, but still very quiet. The house was great for us as our kids got their own space, but we weren't too spread out. The screened in porch was very nice as was the hot tub.

Perfect for family

We had an awesome stay at this cabin with plenty of space to be together or quiet areas to get in that afternoon nap. There are 3 levels with sleeping arrangements or/and gathering areas. A large wrap around porch with half being screened in and a relaxing hot tub. We made use of all, including a huge fire pit area. Great place to stay while in Smoky's. Less than 10 miles to Cades Cove. Would stay again if in the area.

We stayed here for a week for my daughter’s wedding in Cades Cove. Absolutely perfect location! Easy access to the park and surrounding areas. The owner is great with communication and access to the cabin is easy. Great screened in porch for a hang out spot! We played cards and sat out there in the evenings. Perfect place for a family to stay while you visit the Great Smokey Mountains.
