Mountain Mist Cabins our favorite place to stay in the Smokey’s

This is our second time staying at Uncle Toms cabin in Townsend. This cabin has a great location, secluded but also close to Maryville and the Park and minutes from Cades Cove. The cabin is clean, beautifully decorated, comes with essentials you might need if you forgot something. The owner Derek is very responsive, and always makes sure your stay is a wonderful experience. We can’t wait to book next years trip with Mountain Mist

Nice, quiet cabin

Very nice cabin for family of four, (kids). Very clean and well appointed. WiFi was very good. Two couples might find it too small as only one bathroom. Hot tub was very nice as well. I stayed with my 16 year old son for hiking/biking in the area. Very pretty. Smokies are worth the drive/stay. Manager responds quickly. Rent with ease of mind

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!
