Book a hotel near Cades Cove Visitor Center, Townsend

"Great location near many parks, horseback riding, restaurants or just enjoy the view from the treehouse."

"House was plenty big for our large extended family. The kids really enjoyed the first floor with all of the amenities. Kitchen and living area were spacious allowing great family time. There are a few items that were lacking—esp when traveling with a big group. Not enough towels. Bunk room on 3rd level does not have a railing for the top bunk. We had to move the mattress on the floor. Kitchen pots and pans were very small / not big enough to cook for large groups and most need to be replaced. There were no oven mits and only two kitchen towels one wash cloth. Grills could definitely use a little TLC. The hot tub would not heat over 100, so that was disappointing that we couldn’t enjoy that. Not enough hot water to go around for showering. There was a wasp nest somewhere as many were flying around. We killed several but there were always more coming from somewhere. Overall these small things didn’t compromise us having a great time and loved that this house provided the space for our family to enjoy each others company. I do not think we would stay in Townsend again, but I would recommend this house for others looking to accommodate a large family. The management company was very nice/ responsive to questions pre arrival—Owner, not so much (you can tell the difference)."

"We had a wonderful time. What a great cabin!!! Everything we needed! The hot tub was amazing! Thanks Justin for being an awesome host!"

"This is a great cabin that provides the right mix of privacy and being in the center of all Townsend and GSMNP have to offer. The owner went out of her way to prepare the cabin earlier for us upon request. Stay here instead of Gatlinburg or Townsend lodging; you won’t be disappointed!"

"My family and I had a wonderful stay. The host was responsive even before I made the reservation. The view was amazing especially the sunrise. My family and I would absolutely stay there again."

"We had a group of young children, parents, and grandparents stay at the Bear's Den in late March. The communication with Kurt was easy and we were able to check in a little early since we arrived earlier than anticipated. The kids loved exploring the massive space, playing in the game room, driveway basketball, and the climbing wall was a surprise hit with all ages (4-9). The adults loved the sprawling porches, hot tub, and constantly changing views of the Smokies. I think their VRBO pictures are very professional and nice, which sometimes can be misleading, but in this case the space was bigger than we imagined and the views were even better. The drive up to the house is steep but well paved, and there are only a few other houses on the street so you have plenty of privacy. There was a bad storm one night and we lost power due to downed trees all over the mountain, but with the backup generator and seemingly soundproof windows, none of us even noticed until we woke up for breakfast. When we left in the morning, crews had already cleaned up all of the trees blocking the roads in this neighborhood and power was quickly restored. We would recommend this place to anyone looking to visit the area and plan on returning."
