The Cove is a great little cabin nestled in the hills. There are other cabins in the area, but we still felt very secluded. Our own little paradise. Our host Jeremy was very easy to talk to. We had one minor issue upon check in. Jeremy was on it immediately and problem was solved within 20 minutes. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again...

Perfect getaway in the Smokies!

This cabin nestled in the woods was perfect. Very well appointed and all of our needs were met. Our dogs also loved it because there was woods that they could run around in and jump on boulders and have fun. Our host was very warm and communicated promptly and offered a very easy check in and check out. The house is very close to restaurants, Cades Cove and the park itself. We’re already planning a fall trip to The Cove!

We needed a quick over night stay while passing through. As soon as we pulled in we were in love. The lights were on, the heat was on (28 outside) and it was perfect. So nice not walking into a dark and cold place to stay for the first time. The surroundings were nice and quiet too, we definitely recommend this property and plan on returning.

Beautiful and secluded getaway.

It’s only minutes from Townsend and the Great Smokey National Park. It was very comfortable, and clean. The full kitchen allowed to prepared full homemade meals over Christmas when restaurants were closed and enjoyed breakfast every morning.The king size bed is firm but very comfortable since it is a memory foam mattress.The overall feel, is very cozy. At the end of a long day in the Park, it felt like we were coming home when pulling into the driveway. :)
