Perfect!
This cute little cabin was perfect for us! My boyfriend and I actually got engaged while there! Very clean, neat, and there was even a mini Christmas tree there that made it feel cozy around the holidays. The host was great and got back to me almost immediately for every question I had. We will definitely be staying here again!

Cozy cabin in the great smoky mountains
Had such a wonderful week in the great smoky mountains! This cabin was perfect! It’s on the quiet side away from the crazy crowded Gatlinburg area. Very easy access into park with no waiting. Close to restaurants and shopping in Townsend. The cabin was so clean and had everything we needed for the week! Bonus hot tub for soaking in after long hiking days! Highly recommend!!

Cute cabin!
Uncle Tom’s Cabin was a great place to stay. Very close to Townsend. Everything you’d need for cooking your own meals; the dishes, pots and pans looked very new. We loved the hot tub. One thing I would say is if you’re looking for a sun-filled cabin, this is not it. The overhanging trees didn’t let a lot of light in (our stay was in September); however, there were plenty of indoor light options to cover the areas. Would stay again!

Thank you for allowing me to celebrate my 30th birthday in your wonderful home! It was so nice to have a small getaway in such a relaxing location! My husband and daughter enjoyed it just as much as I did. She has plenty of space to run and we took advantage of the hot tub to wind down.

Loved the location. Cabin is a nice combination of rustic and modern. Loved the hot tub. Front porch swing and rocking chairs were great for sitting and listening to rain on the metal roof. Would definitely stay again. 4 star rating for cleaning only reflective of dusty baseboards. Rest of cabin was very clean. Baseboards are rustic wood so might be difficult to keep clean.

Quiet getaway
My sister and I wanted to stay away from the crowds of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We wanted to see Cades Cove, Townsend, and the surrounding areas for Ancestry.com research. The cabin was close to shopping, local restaurants and a grocery store. Several of the restaurants in the area are dog friendly and have outdoor dining. We ate at Peaceful Side Social, and the Abbey at Heartland Chapel with our small dog. Sitting on the front porch every morning was so relaxing! We enjoyed the clean hot tub, and easy to use television setup. The kitchen appliances were new, easy to use, and quite clean. There is only one bathroom so if you have four people staying you will have to coordinate your use of the facilities. Since it was only the two of us we had no trouble. If you are looking for tons of mini-golf, go-carts, and typical tourist attractions then stay in Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge If you're looking for a quiet vacation that is close to the Cades Cove end of the Great Smoky Mountains Park, this is the place to stay!

Had a wonderful stay at the cabin. It was well maintained and clean. The location is quiet and mostly private. You can see a few other cabins but it’s through the woods and far away enough to make your stay feel pretty private. The host was fantastic and done a great job with communication. Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay here in the future.
