About this property

Porch Swing, Jacuzzi Tub, Wi-Fi, Dogs ok, near NP

Welcome to Walker cabin in the Peaceful Side of the Smoky Mountains!

Play games in the cozy living room or at the dining table, take a long soak in the large jetted tub, swing outside on the deck and enjoy nature, grill up your favorite meal. Catch your favorite movie on the Smart TV.

Reset and relax in Townsend. This is the Peaceful Side of the Smokies.

We are a pet friendly property. We allow 2 dogs that are over 1 year old for a $50 pet fee.

*Property does have a shared driveway.*

Enter into the living room where you will find a comfy futon, a fireplace (useable Oct-April), and a smart television. Play board games or snuggle up and enjoy each other's company. Our place is cozy but we feel love grows best in smaller spaces!

The indoor dining table has seating for four provided.

Head over to the kitchen where you have everything you need to make a meal and save some money instead of eating out. We have a refridgerator, stove, oven, microwave, coffee pot, along with all the dinnerware, silverware, pots and pans. If you prefer to grill, we have a gas grill outside and the kitchen is equipped with grill tools.

The bathroom is on the main level and has a standalone shower and a jacuzzi tub big enough for two. Enjoy a long soak after a fun day in town exploring.

A beautiful loft area is where you will find the best place to rest your head. The queen bed is just right for a good night's sleep. New Lucid matress in November 2022. There is also a small desk in the bedroom area if you need to do a little work while you're staying.

On the deck you will find two rocking chairs, a porch swing, and a dining table. Have meals outside, take a seat in the rockers and wind down with a glass of wine, or swing on the porch swing and take advantage of the beautiful weather

We hope you enjoy the Peaceful Side of the Smokies as much as we do!

Cozy little cabin!!!

Our stay was great! The cabin had everything we needed for our stay. Very relaxing porch with a nice porch swing. My daughter enjoyed the fireplace and sleeping on the day bed! She said it was comfortable! We visited the The Titanic Museum during our stay and it was about 38 min drive there. We also enjoyed grilling our dinner on the outdoor grill. Great and fast communication with the owner. We would definitely stay there again!

Wedding Trip to the Smokyey Mountains

Walker Cabin was cozy and comfortable. It was close to the wedding venue that our cousins chose, and there were fun things to do close by - hiking in the National Park, nearby cave tour, and horseback riding.

Cabin in the hills.

The cabin was beautiful inside and out. The view from the deck was good but the short drive in was not what I expected for a cabin in the woods. It was convenient to restaurants and activities. The owners were excellent to work with.

Walker Cabin

This was an amazing cabin for our stay. Very quiet, peaceful, private, and really added to our Smokey Mountain getaway. The location was very convenient with access to the park and to Townsend. We saw black bears 3 times in the area which was really cool! It was perfect for my wife and I and our little pup. Thanks!

About the host

Hosted by Nicole Schroeder

Host profile image
We are the Schroeder family and we have been traveling full-time since September of 2017. We started out traveling exclusively in our rv, but fell in love with short term rentals when we explored Europe in 2019. We have been to all 50 states and over 10 countries as we seek to learn more about the diversity that makes each place unique and special. This cabin is a family passion. We are teaching our children about construction, basic repairs, budgeting, hospitality, compassion, and loving others well. They are involved in this property and we hope that they will grow to love hosting as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We have cabins in the hustle and bustle of the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area and we decided that we wanted a place to enjoy the Peaceful Side of the Smokys as well. We fell in love with this property for the views and the feeling of relaxation we have when we're here. This is a place that one can truly unwind and enjoy the nature that makes the Smoky Mountains great.

What makes this property unique

This property actually has two small cabins and a house. Perfect for families to rent and have their own space yet still hang out together and make precious memories when they choose. If you are interested in renting out the entire property, send us an inquiry and we'll make sure to find you a date where everything is open.
