Perfect!

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!

Cozy cabin in the great smoky mountains

Had such a wonderful week in the great smoky mountains! This cabin was perfect! It’s on the quiet side away from the crazy crowded Gatlinburg area. Very easy access into park with no waiting. Close to restaurants and shopping in Townsend. The cabin was so clean and had everything we needed for the week! Bonus hot tub for soaking in after long hiking days! Highly recommend!!

Thank you for allowing me to celebrate my 30th birthday in your wonderful home! It was so nice to have a small getaway in such a relaxing location! My husband and daughter enjoyed it just as much as I did. She has plenty of space to run and we took advantage of the hot tub to wind down.

Cute cabin!

Uncle Tom’s Cabin was a great place to stay. Very close to Townsend. Everything you’d need for cooking your own meals; the dishes, pots and pans looked very new. We loved the hot tub. One thing I would say is if you’re looking for a sun-filled cabin, this is not it. The overhanging trees didn’t let a lot of light in (our stay was in September); however, there were plenty of indoor light options to cover the areas. Would stay again!
