Cabin Name: Sweet Retreat

This beautiful cabin is located in the prestigious Laurel Valley on a very quiet road. There is room for up to 4 vehicles to park in the two driveways which would even accommodate a trailer with motorcycles. Throughout the year, our guests are also welcome to use the Wild Laurel fitness center and the swimming pool during the summer months.

As you enter the great room, the ceilings will tower over you! Beautiful beams adorn the upper spaces as well as a gorgeous brick wood burning fireplace. The open loft will provide hours of family enjoyment with games & seating for making lifelong memories. The fully equipped kitchen is located on the main floor as well. The large middle island offers a ton of counter top space for spreading out and cooking wonderful tasty meals for your family with ease. The dining room provides enough seating for all 8 guests to eat together.

On the main floor, you will find the master suite with a king size bed and lots of space. There is an ensuite bathroom with a large standup shower and bathtub. The master suite also has it's own private entrance to the screened in patio. Both of the other private bedrooms are located on the lower level. One bedroom has another king size bed, dresser & closet. The other bedroom has a queen/twin bunk bed and dresser. There is a fully bathroom with a large shower in between these bedrooms.

The upper loft is large and wide open to the great room below. It has a sofa sleeper and chair for relaxing & hanging out together. It also has a table for four to play board games & card games. The air hockey table will provide hours of family entertainment as well. The 3rd full bathroom with stand up shower is located here. There is also a twin roll away bed in storage up here for the 10th guest to sleep.

SWEET RETREATs outdoor space is lovely as well. The screened in patio is spacious and offers lots of seating for guests to relax and have an early morning coffee listening to nature wake up or a late night glass of wine just in time to unwind.

Fireplaces:

FEES: The management company of this cabin charges a $50 per stay Damage Waiver Fee to every customer. It is automatically included in your rate. This covers our guests for up to $350 worth of accidental damage should damage occur during their stay. If damage occurs to the cabin, furnishings, etc, please report it to management as soon as possible so that the damage can be repaired. You may opt out of paying the $50 damage waiver fee by putting down a $350 REFUNDABLE damage deposit.

Common Concerns:
*Road Conditions: Some of our cabins are on steep, narrow, curvy, mountain roads. If you are concerned about road conditions to get to a cabin, please feel free to ask us! None of our cabins require a 4-wheel drive under normal weather conditions but some do in inclement weather.
*TV & WiFi: We do have TV's and WiFi in almost all of our cabins. There are times when heavy cloud cover, weather systems, mountains, or trees will cause problems with the signals. We always want our guests to have the comforts they want on vacation, but there are times we cannot control this problem.
*Pests & Wildlife: Here in the Smoky Mountains, we have lots of native bugs and wildlife. All of our cabins are treated for pests, but there are times you will find bugs or even have trouble with bugs. Fall/Winter is ladybug season in the Smokies and these little buggers are attracted to heat, meaning your cabin and every other one out there that is warm! They will swarm to the cabin and you'll probably see them alive/dead on windowsills, in vents, etc. Rest assured that your cabin has regular pest control and is professionally cleaned, including bug removal, before and after your stay. However, these bugs come back right away and unfortunately there is nothing that can be done about them until the season passes. Please never feed, taunt or approach any wildlife. This is their home and we are the visitors.
*There are no refunds for storms or power outages. If there is a power outage, there will be no water and potentially no heat. Storms can also make roads impassable, so if a storm is in the forecast during your reservation, come prepared with water and non-perishable food, etc.

Perfect and Quiet

First time to the Smokeys and so glad we chose Townsend. The “cabin” was beautiful and really worked well for our family and friends. Tucked away amidst the trees, we had beautiful views and the neighborhood was quiet except for the locusts of course!! Cabin was well appointed and nicely decorated. The communication went smoothly. We did have a little excitement when a bear and her cub were quick to intercept some garbage while we were loading up the car to leave. They were easily shooed off (not very happy about it!), and we got to see them before we left. Overall a very wonderful five days and would highly recommend if looking for peace and the forest experience. If you prefer Myrtle Beach, go to Gatlinburg. :)!!

Don’t rent from this company- invasion of privacy

Smoky Cabins Vacation Rentals is the property mgt company for this location and they are completely unprofessional. Post check out, this company sent me a scathing email falsely stating that I left trash and dirty dishes throughout, and that the cabin was left in disarray resulting in them charging me an additional "cleaning fee". Also, they stated I brought a dog onto the property. In reality, my family’s dog was with me upon check in but did NOT stay at the property, he stayed with family at the campground at Cades Cove, TN. They also claimed there was dog hair inside the cabin - which may be true because we do own 2 dogs (who were not with us), so there may have been dog hair among our belongings when we unpacked. Disturbingly, the property manager admitted to watching us "only on the cameras outside the house” and I promptly then asked them to look at the tape and notice we did take out the trash. I also personally cleaned the kitchen, loaded, and turned on the dishwasher before we departed the cabin. Before and after booking, this company solicited us to rent directly with them to avoid “3rd party booking fees”, which is violation of VRBO policy. Finally, I had my 3 teenage daughters staying in the cabin and all of them spent time in the hot tub located outside the cabin so I am sure the property managers “watched” my daughters from the “multiple outside cameras” on the property. I am disgusted and offended. Will never ever rent from this company.

Quick get away

The cabin was extremely clean and the area was very quiet. Perfect get away for some R&R. There are no mountain views from the cabin, but we did see a bear walk around the cabin and down the driveway.

Perfect Family Gathering

We found Sweet Retreat on very short notice, we were travelling to Townsend for a family funeral. So we did not get to take full advantage of this lovely property as a vacation spot, but it was exactly what our family needed for this busy and bitter sweet gathering. We look forward to re-visiting Sweet Retreat under more amenable circumstances in the future.

Excellent!

We were on a girls trip to celebrate a friends birthday. This cabin was perfect for four ladies. We had plenty of room and three bathrooms was also handy with four girls. Had everything there we could possibly need and the cabin was spotless! We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would definitely stay here again!

Perfect for the “peaceful side” of the Smoky’s!

4 adults and 3 kids had a great time in this piece of heaven! Rooms were perfect for this many people. Kids loved the air hockey and the community pool. Adults loved the space! The proximity to the Smoky’s was perfect! We love Townsend!

Absolutely perfect!

Our family loved this cabin! It is in the most gorgeous, peaceful location. The house is beautifully decorated and has so many extras. It was very clean. Beds are comfy. Had a chance to swim at the country club. Everyone was so friendly & the pool was perfect. Wait until you see this view! The kids & hubby can't wait to come back to golf here as well. Townsend, the town it is located in has a lot of stuff to do as well- rafting, hiking, caves, shopping, restaurants

Perfect cabin

We were 2 families meeting for vacation and this cabin was perfect. There was plenty of room for all of us. Although not completely secluded, it is very private and quiet. Close to Townsend. The cabin was exactly as described. Very clean and comfortable.
