Laurel Mist is the Cabin everyone wishes they had

We only stayed two nights but it was a great spot. We even tried to booked for next year while there but it was already booked 😕. The cabin was very spacious and was clean. Everything you could need on your stay is there. The screened in porch was a very nice area to just sit and relax. I have zero complaints. The only suggestion I would make would be to maybe add a TV to the master bedroom. This would be by no means ever a deterrent from us staying here again because everything here was great. Townsend is so much slower than Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge and is quiet. Great food at some of the little close spots too. I would give Laurel Mist 6 stars if I could. Host communication was prompt and swift and Cyndie was very nice. I would gladly recommend this unit for any couple or small family.

Nice Spot

The cabin was very nice, comfortably furnished and equipped, and in a great location on the quiet side of the Smokies. About a 45 minute drive to sugarland Visitors Center, much closer to Cades Cove. The only issue was a mix up at the start because the cabin had not been cleaned. The owner made available to us another cabin for that first night and everything was straightened out the next day. After that initial inconvenience, everything was fine and we had a great visit. The screened in porch is a nice touch.

Carolina - Bama Friend Reunion

We met up with our Alabama friends we hadn’t seen in years. The cabin proved perfect to catch up from all the lost time with a spacious living room and a real fireplace (for safety purposes can’t be used from mid May to early October). Cabin was very clean, attractive, and good labeling on light switches and many other thoughtful details. There are other homes close by, but with how the house is positioned, you feel nestled deep in the woods. Townsend is a great location with good food and all you need in case you forget something as well as just a few minutes from the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and a great scenic drive to either Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg. .

Great Getaway!

Had a wonderful time at this cabin! Clean and well stocked, quiet and easy to get to. The best part was the screened in deck! Saw some deer from the deck even. The bed is tall but there is a step for us short people :) We would advise you to bring breakfast food and cook your own, the local restaurants were expensive. There's plenty of pots pans dishes and utensils for cooking and eating, dishwasher for easy cleanup, propane grill for letting the man cook the meals! It's a nice cozy place to relax in between trips around the mountains. Pet friendly as well. Definitely a nice place to stay on the quiet side of the smokies, would book this one again.

About the host

Hosted by Cyndie Cornelius

I have been selling Smoky Mountain Real Estate since 2007 and managing Smoky Mountain Rental Properties since 2014. As the Owner and Principal Broker of a Townsend based Real Estate Firm, I have been in and out of hundreds of rental cabins. Feeling strongly that people want to be treated to a clean and well stocked cabin in a private surrounding, my husband and I decided to see if our theory was correct. We purchased our first cabin in 2014 and put it in service. The demand was overwhelming, and we soon purchased our second and third. The owners of Laurel Mist purchased this cabin from us and we agreed to manage the rental of this cabin as well, since it has the same private setting and warm interior decor that our guests enjoy. We felt Laurel Mist was a perfect match for our clients.

Why they chose this property

The atmosphere and location of this cabin provide the perfect getaway for the owners. Nestled into the trees and well off the roadway, the privacy abounds. Townsend is a small town that is a gateway community to the National Park. To visit the area opens up the entire park to visitors. This cabin has a warm interior with a huge main living space and stacked stone fireplace. The french doors that lead to the screened in back porch add a bright and inviting outdoor living area to the already spacious interior.
It was for the owners, a perfect choice to enjoy themselves, and to share with other guests to the area.
With strong ties to UT, this home away from home was a no brainer!

What makes this property unique

Laurel Mist backs to county parkland and a nature preserve. This cabin is has great outdoor space and privacy abounds. Located in the same Natural Surroundings as The Cove and Smoke Rise, this cabin will sleep four, offering a bit larger accommodations when needed.
Relax on the screened in porch and enjoy the sounds of surrounding nature.
