Cabin Name: Owls Roost

Come and take a look at this beautifully decorated cottage located just outside of the Smoky Mountains National Park and Cades Cove. Owls Roost is located at the end of a very quiet dead end road. It offers peace and quiet as well as easy access. The master bedroom has a king size bed and 1/2 bath. The second bedroom has a queen bed and a twin beds. The main bathroom is off of the living space and offers a standard tub/shower. The kitchen is modern and well equipped.

On the back of this cabin is a very large screened in porch. It overlooks a private mountain view and sits over a river. You can not see the river but you can hear the sounds of the rushing water which makes it very relaxing. The screened in porch has several rocking chairs, a swing and outside eating area. There is also an extra large hot tub that will be ready for you to use.

Outside of the screened porch you will find a charcoal grill, table and chairs and a fire pit just for your family.

Owls Roost provides Comcast cable and free wifi.

FEES: The management company of this cabin charges a $20 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 $20 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 most 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.
During your stay at this cabin, you'll be within walking distance of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. You'll find features such as 1 hot tub. The cabin includes amenities such as free WiFi and a kitchen.
  • Air-conditioned cabin with kitchen, washing machine and 1.5 bathrooms
  • Free WiFi
  • 12 minutes on foot from Great Smoky Mountains National Park and a 3-minute drive from Great Smoky Mountains Heritage Center

Really great place to stay
I really enjoyed this VBRO's location and hot tub. The screened in porch is amazing and just so lovely to sit and enjoy the woods. The kitchen was well-equipped, too. I could even make my smoothies! My only complaint would be to maybe add box springs because the beds were pretty hard without it.

Owl’s Roost
The property was perfect for our getaway. It has everything you would need. After a day of hiking it was great to have the hot tub to relax in and the bed was very comfy. My only suggestion would be to update the pictures as the furniture was different than the pictures. If returning to the area would definitely book this cabin again.

Great location and communication
Frequent and thorough communication with the property Manager- no concerns there!. The home was clean and well-appointed with the exception of kitchen linens- fortunately I have often experienced this at rental properties and packed some from home. Otherwise the kitchen had more items than I had hoped for. Location is great - our first time in Townsend and loved being close to town but super quiet at the house. The home will need some maintenance work- the floors are very un-level and the shower floor has more flex than you’d expect or want. There may also be some other plumbing type things to be addressed as when using the toilet in the 1/2 bath, it sounds as though water is running under the floor (before flushing). We were overall very happy with our stay! I am always very hesitant to write reviews knowing that I am exceptionally particular which is why I gave a high rating and added comments.

Fabulous Location Smoky Mountain Retreat
We loved our recent stay the Owl's Roost with all the comforts of home! The cabin is super charming and the inside of the cabin is surprising larger than expected/photos. Kitchen was well supplied with dishes, utensils, and cookware. Great location to nearby Great Smoky Mountains, Cades Cove, Tuckaleechee Caverns and Little Arrow River. The only reminder would be to bring your own firewood and any condiments for grilling steaks/hamburgers/hot dogs. Loved it!!

We went for my wife's 40th birthday. It was everything we were looking for. It was about 40 minutes from Gatlinburg. We loved the screened in porch. We used to waze app and it took us right to the property. Hoping to return next year.

A Much Needed, Relaxing Stay
First of all, I am not one to normally leave a review (good or bad). However, I feel this place definitely warranted my time to leave one. We stayed for 4 nights at Owl’s Roost. When we walked in, we could smell the cleanliness! This was very refreshing, as we have had some very bad experiences with the “not so” cleanliness of other places. Cleanliness is very important to me! We were amazed at how well kept this place is! It is not the “fanciest” of places (fancy wasn’t expected-it’s out in the woods), but it was just what we needed! It reminded me of my Grandma’s house, which was a very welcomed memory. The screened in, wraparound porch (with hot tub, swing, and mulwas really nice to have. We only went into “town” (Pigeon Forge) one time, during our entire stay, to attend a showing at “The Comedy Barn”… The one show I Absolutely must attend during any stay in the mountains. The rest of our stay we were either at Cades Cove, riding around viewing the beauty of the surroundings, or just relaxing at the cabin. It was an amazing trip! We were SO VERY CLOSE to Cades Cove, which was AMAZING! The cabin was VERY nicely furnished with everything we needed. The only thing I found different from the listing was that the 2nd bedroom, which has a twin now and not a bunk bed. They still had the larger bed in the room with the twin bed, though. This didn’t have any bearing on our visit, as it was just my husband and me. The bed was comfortable and we got some well deserved and much needed rest. They did have a washer and dryer down in the basement (a separate door on the outside, back of the cabin, with steps to it), which we didn’t need to use during our stay. Our goal was to unplug and relax, and THAT IS JUST WHAT WE DID! We very much enjoyed our stay at Owl’s Roost, and plan on returning in the future! I actually looked into coming back this month while we had a few days off from work. Unfortunately, it was already booked.😢 Maybe they will be available the next time we have some time off from work together.👍 Again, we ABSOLUTELY enjoyed our stay at Owl’s Roost!!!
