Cades Cove Loop
The scenic 11-mile drive out of Townsend, with black bears, old cabins, and slow mornings in the Park.
The Smokies, From the Quiet Side
Sevierville and Gatlinburg minutes away, the National Park at your doorstep, and a private hot tub in the woods to come home to at day's end.
Around the Cabins
The Places Guests Keep Coming Back To
The spots our guests mention most, all an easy drive from the quiet side of the Smokies.
Downtown Gatlinburg
Walk to Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies, then stop by Tennessee Homemade Wines for a tasting on the way.
Sugarlands Distilling Co.
Tour the distillery downtown, then head up the Pigeon Forge corridor for the shows and the attractions.
Where We Host
Pick Your Side of the Smokies
Two areas, same promise: private woods, a hot tub on the deck, and short drives instead of Parkway traffic.
A Day From Base Camp
Full Day Out, Quiet Cabin to Come Home To
The cabins sit the right distance from the chaos of downtown yet still very convenient. Hike hard, do the town, then drive back to nobody but you.
Morning
Cades Cove Before the Crowds
Get an early start and drive or hike the Cove loop while it's still quiet. From the quiet side of the Smokies you're at the Park in minutes, not stuck in Parkway traffic.
Early Loop Start
Roll out before breakfast to beat the wildlife-watching traffic on the 11-mile loop.
Easy Trail Access
Cades Cove trailheads and Townsend entrance are a short drive from the cabin door.
Bring the Dog
Pet-friendly cabins and plenty of nearby paths, so nobody stays home for the day.
Afternoon
Into Town for the Fun Part
Swing into Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge for zip-lining, Ripley's Aquarium, or a Sugarlands tasting, then head back before dinner. Close enough to do it all, far enough to leave it behind.
Ripley's Aquarium
A good rainy-day or with-kids stop in downtown Gatlinburg.
Sugarlands Tasting
Pull up a stool at Sugarlands Distilling Company on the Parkway.
Zip-Lining Nearby
Several courses within a short drive when you want the adrenaline.
Evening
Shower, Soak, Sleep
Rinse off the trail, pour a drink, and drop into your own private hot tub under the trees. Soak until the day goes, then a comfortable bed and a clean cabin, exactly as pictured.
Your Private Hot Tub
Soak under the trees with no shared deck and no neighbors in earshot.
Hot Shower Waiting
Wash off the miles before you settle in for the night.
Clean, Comfortable Bed
The cabin's kept quiet and peaceful, clean and exactly as described, every stay.
