Fantastic Getaway in the Smokys!
We absolutely loved our stay at Knotty Pine in Townsend! The home was everything as described and more. The hot tub, pool, and views were fantastic! It was the perfect home base for our family as we explored the Smoky Mountains! Would highly recommend this home to anyone looking to explore GSMNP!

Amazing property & owners!
I've never been to TN before so I wasn't sure about much when I was booking my stay. The photos of this house looked great and the property was even more amazing than the photos show!! The house was very clean, each bedroom having its own bathroom was amazing, sitting on the deck drinking coffee and looking at the mountains was amazing - I could go on and on. I highly recommend this property!!

Spring Break getaway
This cabin had everything we needed for a nice comfortable stay. The Townsend area offers less dining options, but the peaceful side has many perks. Getting in and out of GSMT is easy. Traffic is minimal. You’re closer to Maryville which has everything else you might need. We would definitely stay here again !

Wonderful cabin with beautiful view
The cabin itself was just as described and seen in the photos in the listing. Townsend is a very small town but we enjoyed the peace. This home had everything we needed, is in a gated community and conveniently had free access to the nearby fitness center on the golf course. Mary Jane was very attentive and even worked directly with our Babyquip representative to get things setup for our daughter before we even got there. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Another Tennessee Christmas
This was not our first Christmas spent in the foothills of the Smokies in a rented cabin, so a review and ratings from us come from a comparative standpoint - and I say - "hats off to the Grays! Attention to detail is very important to me(us), so a well-supplied kitchen, wood at the fire pit, and Christmas decorations throughout the house not only made the cabin feel like Christmas, but made it feel like home as well. Thank you for making our Christmas special!

Nice, quiet place to stay
Far enough away from pigeon Forge to feel like you’re in the country, but close enough to go and do touristy things for the day. Great beds. House next-door is closer than I expected but the divider fence obscured view of hot tub. Nice fire pit below the house.

Family pigeon forge/Gaitlinburg winter vacay
We arrived at the cabin everything was nice and clean with all things you would need in the kitchen. Plenty of room with three king sized bedrooms. The pictures does make the cabin seem bigger and seem like the views would be from the bedrooms as well. But the views from the front porch made up for that! It was gorgeous, the fire pit was nice, we were able to make s’mores every night we were there. I do however wish there was a propane or deck fire pit, the fire pit was a long walk down the mountain in the dark without lightening to the trail down. Hot tub was very nice, it relaxed my muscles for sure after long days of walking. The stairs are steep and narrow inside and very easy to fall on, id suggest making sure you have the light on so you can see the stairs going up and down. Going down the stairs one night I didn’t know there was a switch at the top and completely slide all the way down bruising my hip. All in all the cabin is super cute and perfect for a small family of 5 or a couple different couples.

This cabin was everything we had hoped it would be. Beautiful from top to bottom with a great view of the mountains. Spending Thanksgiving with the family in the Smokies at this cabin was like being in a Norman Rockwell painting. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Well stocked and comfy beds!
We spent a long weekend at Knotty Pine and it was awesome. The house was clean and fully stocked! We did not need anything while we were there because the cabin had it. One hugh plus was the comfort level of all the beds. Everyone in our group talked about how great they were which is rare to find in a rental. If we make it back to Townsend, we will definitely look to see if Knotty Pine is available first!

This cabin was perfect for us, three brothers and their wives. We enjoyed the deck our whole stay, and the fire pit, the one night it was cool enough to have a fire. If we make that trip again, I hope this cabin is available.

Beautiful home within a few minutes to Townsend, TN
We throughly enjoyed our stay. Beautiful mountain view out the big front porch. You can see this view from the living areas and kitchen. The kitchen was well stocked for daily cooking. It was an extra nice feature for everyone to have their own bathroom. 2 bedrooms/bathrooms upstairs and the master bedroom/bathroom downstairs. Beds were comfortable. Bring your own bath soaps. Basic supplies are provided. The upstairs has a balcony area overlooking the living room. There are neighbors right next door, but never saw or heard them, if any were at the house. The trees between the houses hides them well. Unfortunately we didn't have time to try the hot tub or fire pit.

Comfortable cabin in Townsend
We loved our stay at Knotty Pines! The cabin was very clean and cozy. The owner has put a lot of thought into making the cabin an enjoyable experience for guests. The beds are comfortable and each bedroom has its own private bath. We really enjoyed our long weekend in Townsend. We went hiking and tubing, visited the pool at Wild Laurel Resort, explored the Tuckaleechee Caverns and visited Dollywood.

Beautiful House in the Smokies
We stayed here for a week. The house was as described, beautiful and well stocked. If you plan on using the hot tub, I would bring some extra towels. Definitely, take care of your garbage as we did have a bear come and knock over the garbage can several times. We had a slight issue with the internet, but the owner was very responsive and communicated quickly and the problem was resolved quickly.

I would stay here again and again and recommend to anyone!
It was our first trip to the Smokies, but after a little research I knew I wanted to stay in a cabin near Townsend- the Peaceful Side of the Smokies. I looked at so many cabins, and this one ended up checking all of our boxes. After being to both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, I’m so glad we chose the Peaceful Side, and I couldn’t be happier that we chose the Knotty Pine! The huge deck out front has a great Mountain View and wraps all the way to the back of the cabin! Around back there’s a hot tub that we loved to relax in and a gas grill that was great to be able to grill our own dinner when we didn’t want to eat out. The master bedroom has a king bed that’s very comfortable and a connected bathroom with a stone shower that also connects to the living room. The other two bedrooms are upstairs and each have their own bathroom with a bathtub/shower combo, as well! Each bedroom having its own bathroom was so nice and made it so easy for everyone to get ready at the same time! The loft area between the two upstairs bedrooms was stocked with puzzles, games and books, which our kids loved! Each bedroom has a tv, and there’s also a tv in the living room that you’re able to log into your streaming services on, or watch one of the very many DVD and VHSs that are provided! The kitchen is stocked with any utensil we could’ve needed while cooking, and having a washer and dryer right there at the cabin was so convenient! It was also in a private, quiet golf course neighborhood!

Felt like home
This was our first VRBO stay and our first time as a family in the Smokies. We can’t wait to come back! The home was perfect, clean, and well stocked. We felt very comfortable in the home. The location is beautiful and wonderfully close to the park. Townsend is a lovely little town. In our days there we barely scratched the surface of things to do. We liked our location relative to Maryville, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg. The owners were prompt and friendly and even offered some of the local favorite restaurants to help us get acquainted. The whole stay could not have gone better. Coming back is something we definitely want to do.

Very nice place with great view!
We all definitely enjoyed our 6 night stay. We had two opportunities to see bear on the property. One time the bear was in the woods behind the house walking down and the next day it came up the driveway between our cars and up into the woods behind the house. Another time we saw a bear was when we were having a bon fire and it walked from the woods across the street to another house to the left. This house has great views and is very well taken care of. Really enjoyed the upgraded downstairs shower. Also has very comfortable beds. Very nice kitchen and balcony.

Now that our children are grown, we love to all come together a few times a year. This year was at 1139 Laurel. We loved everything about this wonderful home. We spent much time on the deck watching a bear pass by, gazing at the deer feeding, the wild turkeys roaming the yard and the peaceful serenity of the mountains in clear view. We hope you will allow us to come back and enjoy your wonderful home again sometime soon!
