“Peaceful” LOVED this little cabin! So peaceful and serene. Our two Maltese who are usually always keyed up on vacations were even laid back and quite here. Love the hammock by the stream. Stocked with everything you need and loved the little extras (especially since I left my shampoo and cond). The little packs of coffee were really good and a nice treat! We will definitely be back!

“great group retreat venue” I lead a women's retreat here and most of the 20 women, upon entering the lodge, asked, "Where did you find this place?" While not luxurious, this lodge is spacious, very comfortable, and designed for groups, with two large meeting areas in addition to the dining area. Extra tables and chairs allow for a variety of set-ups and activities. A big plus is that the manager lives on site. We had a plumbing issue, and a maintenance person came to the lodge within 15 minutes and corrected the problem in thirty.

“September retreat” The cabin has a wonderful view and the owner was refreshingly easy to get ahold of. Although this trip was for a wedding we are considering a trip next fall at the same location!

“COVID VACAY” The cabin was exactly as described. I would call it rustic but charming. Loved the seclusion and the creek.

“Perfect Forest Surrounded Relaxing Cabin” Absolutely love this cabin! The decor is just perfect but I'm a huge black bear fan Billie was great to talk with whenever needed. My favorite is the screened in porch has the swing those always take me back a "few" years! Just listening to the birds, crickets, stream, and other critters while relaxing was amazing! We did see a rabbit/bunny family in the little yard daily, we never did get to see the resident bear. For that we were very blessed this year to see them in Cades Cove twice and up by Chimney Tops we stopped in the road and seen a mama with her 3 cubs crossing the street. Elk are amazing and we've always been able to see them over on the Oconaluftee visitor center around 5:30. Thanks for allowing us to stay in your home and make it ours we plan on being back next year!

“Great” Had a great time. Staff was really good. Will be going back next year. Had a great time.

“Peaceful Hideaway” My husband and I stayed at "Bearfoot 2" for our 1st anniversary (or "Honeyversary", as we like to call it)! It was perfect! First off, the town that the cabin is in is so quaint and quiet. Just perfect! We roll up to our cabin (up a 45deg angle to get there- so thrilling!), and we are beaming! The overlook is wonderful, the porch is nice, cool and relaxing, and the hot tub, of course my favorite, was a huge perk! The inside of the cabin was perfect as well. Very cozy, perfect for 2 people. We loved the Jacuzzi in the bedroom (um...don't put too many bath bubbles in a Jacuzzi tub! They multiply much faster than in a normal tub! ha!) Very romantic! The renters even left some Dvds that you can watch on a nice flat screen TV in case you need a little down time at night. The kitchen is pretty well stocked with items you might need. There's a nice grill outside that was useful to us. Overall, it was a great stay! We have been talking about the wonderful cabin ever since we returned! We had such a great "Honeyversary"! We definitely recommend this affordable Romantic Get-Away!

“Fantastic!” We had our family reunion at the Elk lodge. It was an ideal setting. The kitchen was incredible. Lots of counter top space. Two refrigerators, two dishwashers, two sinks a large stove and oven. Lots of silverware and loads of dishes. The dining room had plenty of tables and chairs and a bar with a small refrigerator. At the other end of the room there was a large wood burning fireplace in a large room with a couch that wrapped around 3/4th of the room and a TV (which got very little use). Upstairs was a large room with a pingpong table and a pool table and a couch and a TV. The kids loved playing up there. The porch was lined with swings and rocking chairs over looking the pool. The pool is large and only 3 1/2 feet deep. This was ideal as we had young children in our group. And the swimmers were still able to swim laps. Since we rented the entire lodge, the families with young children could put the kids in bed and then come join the adults. If the kids woke up, they could follow the laughter to fine their parents.

“Perfect Location” Would have given this rental an excellent rating...but.... there was an issue with a musty, mold & mildew smell to the house. The other couple staying with us had to leave a day early because of this issue -- they both were on allergy medications and had problems with the musty/moldy smell. We did open the doors, but it did not help. We are bicyclists --the reason we choice this rental was the location which was perfect. There was an issue with the shower curtain rod in the master bath -- called the numbers provided and the issue was quickly taken care of. A minor complaint -- there weren't paper towels provided for use in the kitchen. If the issue of mold and mildew was not present in the house --- would have been perfect.

“Loved Deer Lodge” We really enjoyed our stay at Deer Lodge. It was perfect for our family of 4 families. We were there with our son the night before his wedding and what a coincidence that the plaque on the bedroom walls said that the furnishing were from a family from the same town our son was born in. We would love to visit Deer Lodge again someday.

“great experience” The cabin was everything that we could have hoped it to be. It was very clean and comfortable and quiet. Townsend had several great family dining facilities.

“Refuge” Cabin was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and Townsend is a perfect spot to be out of the busy Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg towns. Cades Cove has great hiking and walking areas too. We especially enjoyed the porch rocking chairs each evening, listening to the river or a quick rain shower.

“Peaceful yet close to many adventures” The location of Genesis is fantastic! A peaceful get-away yet near to many adventures in Smokey Mountain National Park, Townsend truly is the peaceful side of SMNP and was exactly what we were looking for. We ventured to nearby Gatlinburg but did not find it to our liking as it was very busy and commercialized. However, if that is your thing, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge are just down the road a short drive. The cabin was ready and well-stocked for the arrival of our group of 9. We could hear and see the Little River but had to access it by the road that runs parallel to the cabin area which was no problem, just an observation. The Little River provides a cool place to splash and tube and was enjoyed a great deal by our grandkids. It was a memorable time and a wonderful nature vacation and we are already planning our return trip!

“Heaven on Earth!” Evergreen is pure heaven on earth. If you are looking for a place to relax and enjoy the beauty around you, look no further! We enjoyed our stay at Evergreen and will be returning again. Billie is a wonderful person to conduct business with. She really takes care of her renters and treats them like family!!!
