The Reviews say it all: Best cabin in the Smokies

JasonRating, 5 stars1 day ago
Parker place was as advertised and then some. The trek up the mountain was a little daunting but more than worth it in the end. From the exceptional view to their mascot Disney to all the wildlife that made their way through the property, it was an experience like no other.

Jeromy’s cabin was exactly as the photos showed, top level cabin interior, nice furnishings, comfortable bed and nice shower. One of the nicest studio cabins we have stayed in.

Smoky Mountain A-frame

FaisalRating, 5 stars4 days ago
I recently stayed at the A-Frame in the Smoky Mountains, and it was nothing short of amazing. The place was incredibly clean, beautifully designed, and had such a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The tub was a perfect touch—super relaxing after a day of exploring. Everything about the stay was just fascinating, from the peaceful surroundings to the thoughtful details throughout the space. It absolutely deserves 5 stars, or even more if that were possible. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

I had a last minute issue with another property and had to contact Staylah the day of checkin. Luckily they could host and I’m glad the other place didn’t work out. This property was fantastic and way better than I was expecting. I wish we could have stayed longer. I will be back for sure!

Your guide to Townsend

All About Townsend

Nestled in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, Townsend, Tennessee is synonymous with natural beauty. It’s one of three gateway cities into the mountain range, and with a population of just about 350 people, it’s an ideal destination for those seeking to explore the area from a small-town base.

The area around Townsend is steeped in history, with archaeological finds dating as far back as 2,000 B.C. — the Tuckaleechee caverns here are estimated to be 30 million years old. There are a number of museums dedicated to the preservation and appreciation of Townsend’s past, including the Great Smoky Mountains Heritage Center and the Little River Railroad and Lumber Museum, which speaks to the community’s ties to the construction of the railway.

In spite of its tranquil setting, Townsend is by no means a sleepy town; the community offers a packed schedule of festivals and events year-round. Immerse yourself in local lore at the annual Smoky Mountain Bigfoot festival, celebrate autumn’s colors at the Fall Heritage Festival, and add a little whimsy to your holiday during the enchanting Hot Air Balloon Festival.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Townsend

Each season in Townsend brings a different reason to spend time outdoors. Visit in the winter and be rewarded with cozy days at your cabin rental in Townsend between taking scenic drives in the snow or fishing in one of many nearby rivers. When things warm up a bit, festivals and seasonal events dot the calendar. May sees the annual Smoky Mountain Bigfoot Festival roll into town. Early summer means the arrival of the annual firefly viewing, where you can witness millions of these glowing bugs light up the night sky as they search for the perfect mate. If you visit towards the end of summer, you can experience the Great Smoky Mountains Hot Air Balloon Festival. In autumn, the leaves turn fiery shades of red and gold, and the Fall Heritage Festival in September celebrates Appalachian cooking alongside bluegrass music, arts, and crafts.

This lush landscape is home to all manner of wildlife, including white-tailed deer, black bears, and turkeys, as well as historic cabins and mills and hiking trails.
