Booking and check-in was super easy with keyless entry. The cabin was so quaint and cozy and well stocked with the essentials Also, the cabin is conveniently located just outside of town, so only a few miles to good food, a grocery store, and gas station. The hot tub was super relaxing after a long day in Cades Cove. Cades Cove was our reason for the trip and it did not disappoint with seeing many gorgeous bucks, a hog, and several bear! We would definitely book again upon returning to the area.

We stayed at his other properties before this and were amazed at how wonderful they were. Unfortunately we weren’t able to make this trip due to illness but the property owner was very responsive and we are definitely planning on coming in and making up for lost time.

Such a peaceful place - the perfect alternative to the hustle and bustle of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg! We loved this cabin and the area where it was located. Everything in the unit worked as expected. We’re completely sold on staying in Townsend now, and we’ll be back!

The cabin was very cute and perfect for our weekend stay in Townsend,TN with my son, who stayed in the loft. Big TVs in living room and bedroom along with a smaller one in the loft area. We were able to watch the football games on Saturday after enjoying a morning at Cades Cove. The contact for the cabin was very attentive and answered us very quickly. Everything was as advertised. The hot tub was amazing and the keyless entry made the checkin process so easy. Thank you for letting us enjoy your cabin.

Me and my college roommates met at the Yellow Door Cabin for a weekend of hiking, and viewing the fall colors. The cabin was such a lovely spot to relax, catch up and enjoy nature. The location made it perfect to get to trails and park without the burden of traffic. The host was so kind giving four women a little extra time to check out the morning of our departure. While we were there we utilized the hot tub and fire pit. The kitchen was tiny, yet efficient and the beds were comfortable. I highly recommend staying at the Yellow Door cabin.

Our stay at this mountain cabin was absolutely perfect! The views were breathtaking, the cabin was spotless, and every little detail made it feel like home. Peaceful mornings on the porch with coffee and quiet nights under the stars were everything we needed. Highly recommend to anyone looking to relax, recharge, and enjoy the beauty of nature!

The cabin is cozy and comfortable, surrounded by woods, peaceful and quiet. A sample of the owner's/manager's responsiveness: we reported that we couldn't find the lid to the coffee pot. A few hours later, there was brand new coffee pot at the door. (There was no urgency; the Keurig worked fine.) Great location too. Townsend is closest to the national park without the tourist mayhem or towns like Gatlinburg. I highly recommend the Yellow Door Cabin. (I'd love to get back there for fall colors.)
