Family relaxation
The stay was great. Great little old house in a quite area. Good views. Only issue i had is the water heater does not supply enough hot water to fill the jetted tub. That was my only disappointment with this house. Would recommend this place to stay

All Fine
The Ranch was nice. It was exactly as advertised. Perfect for small family that needs basic accommodations (ie- no wi-fi ,no dishwasher, mostly basic amenities, etc). My only real complaint is that the hot tub/spa tub is a garden tub in the large bedroom. It took about an hour to get the water up to the jet level, and by that time, the water was lukewarm. Melody was very nice, and very responsive.

Mountain peace
This is an amazing place. It is nestled in the country with beautiful views. The moon rose behind the mountains and it was so cool. VERY clean. I check below the surface. A wet paper towel rubbed across the kitchen floor remained clean!! The beds were very comfortable, and all was tastefully decorated. I can say with 100% honestly, that i slept better here than anywhere else i have stayed. I highly recommended and would definitely come back! wet paper towel rubbed acros

Quiet and Relaxing
Great place to stay. Quiet and peaceful neighborhood just minutes from Townsend. The Rancher had everything we needed for our stay and the added bonus of some of our favorite food seasonings in the cabinet (it’s the little things). Will definitely keep this as the first place we look at for every trip to the area.

The cabin is perfect for a smoky mountain vacation. Close to the park and the town of Townsend. It’s out of the tourist zone. The cabin was clean and comfortable with the bonus of a washer and dryer. Would definitely recommend.

Relaxing hideaway in a great location
The Cozy Cottage was everything we had hoped for: Great location near Cades Cove, the giant cave, and great hikes. The place was clean and spacious. A nice home away from home in the Smoky Mountains! The horses out back were fun to watch too.
