We’ve stayed in many cabins. The view was at least as good here as any other cabin we’ve stayed at. The past few years we’ve been staying in Townsend because it really is the quieter side, and this cabin is so close to all the restaurants. A beautiful 45 minute or so ride to either Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge, so instead of being stuck in traffic for that long you can be enjoying the drive! And much closer to Cade’s Cove than you’d be either of those places. Come planning to enjoy the cabin - the privacy is wonderful, the views can’t be beat, the cabin is decorated with very interesting items, it was very clean and well maintained, the owners are very nice - you’ll love it!
