We booked for our annual Maryville College best-friends-since-1985 girls’ trip, and the Blue Door Cabin was perfect! The location was so convenient to everything yet felt like we were deep in the woods. We even saw a large bear walk by soon after we arrived! Such a treat! The kitchen was well equipped for cooking dinner, brunch, and snacks, and we enjoyed sitting out on the screened in porch as we dined and visited with each other. The host had left very detailed instructions about everything, so check in/out, WiFi connections, TVs, etc, was very simple. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were very clean. We brought firewood for the firepit and bathing suits for the hot tub, but the cabin was so cozy, we never even ventured out. We had planned to go out for dinner one night, but we were having so much fun there, we decided to just stay in. I highly recommend this peaceful side of the Smokies—and specifically the Blue Door Cabin—for your next family or friend vacation. I hope to be back very soon.

Perfect for family gathering

Our large family rented the Blue Door Cabin as well as the Yellow and Green Door Cabins for a family vacation. They were perfect for our large family with 5 kids under 4! The porch on the Blue Door Cabin is the star of the show with lots of seating areas and a large screened in porch. We loved our stay!

Perfect!

Everything was well kept and clean, property was easy to get to in Townsend right off of the main parkway through town, but still felt private. Situated within a short drive to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg and Cades Cove, it is a great place to stay for a weekend or extended vacation in the Smokies. Absolute gem!

The outdoor space made this a perfect stay

Who needs room inside when you have the coziness of the outdoor space. Tons of comfy seating outside with a screened in porch. It rained while we were there and there was nothing better than lounging outside on the screen porch listening to the rain. While we really enjoyed the outside space the indoor space was clean and more than comfortable. Really quiet, really peaceful. The small city of Townsend is quaint and perfect if you want to stay in the Smokeys but away from the commercialized area of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Would stay here again.

Private, yet close to town.

Very nice cabin, had all of the features we were looking for. Plenty of room with 3 bedrooms plus the downstairs was akin to an entire suite all by itself. My only negative was no laundry supplies so left some for future visitors. Would definitely book again.

Blue Door Cabin in Townsend

Great location spacious outdoor areas, wrap around porch with hot tub, large firepit area with plenty of seating. Bedrooms & bathrooms were adequately described with cleans linens. Kitchen needed some measuring cups & spoons; upgrade on dishwasher & fridge would make it nicer, but they worked. We enjoyed the peace & quite in the wooded area just off the mail highway. Great time with family! We would recommend it to travelers coming into the area.

Great cabin.

We had a great time. The cabin was the perfect size and arrangement for our group. We had trouble getting the fireplace started and I messaged the owner and he called house phone immediately. We all got a kick out of the house phone too….kids had never seen one. Lol. My friend spent some time on the deck on the bed swing and loved it.

Great time at the Blue Door Cabin

My famiily spent Thanksgiving at the Blue Door Cabin. It was perfect for my family of 6. Plenty of room for family members to spread out or to be together. Cozy room downstairs for movie watching or video game playing. The grandchildren especially enjoyed the hot tub. Would definitely rebook for another few days of togetherness. Anthony was very resposive with any questions - a great host.

Great Cabin and great Experience

Upon arrival the cabin is in a nice woods setting. It’s close to town but far enough away that it was quiet and cozy. The cabin had a great feel to it and felt like home compared to the commercialized cabins in Gatlinburg or the bigger town. The inside was extremely clean and comfortable, had plenty of space and just felt “homie”. Great cabin and hope it’s available on our next trip.

Quick weekend trip

Overall the cabin was ok. We were able to enjoy our time. It could have been better had we been aware of a few things. There were several rocky, uneven, stairs to walk down to get into the cabin which was hard on my elderly sisters. I thought by the photos there was no steps. All of the outside furniture was extremely dirty, dusty, and had long hair in many places on the cushions. All of the outside porch area needed a deep cleaning - lots of dust and cobwebs - we did not feel comfortable using the outside seating. Too bad as there was lots of chairs, swings, rockers, etc. Apparently some type of construction across the street that blew dust towards us so bad we had to run inside the house. The inside was clean - but all the blinds were very dusty and windows were so dirty it was hard to see out of the windows on the back side of the house. Other than that the interior of the house was clean. The lawn crew came at 8:30 Saturday morning. Even used their very loud, gas powered blower and literally walked up on and all around on the porch of the house - at 8:30am!! Honestly would not rent this one again. It just was not a good fit for us.
