We had a great stay! Would definitely return. Appreciate the clean porch and hot tub. We have stayed at other properties that we couldn't enjoy the porch view due to all the spider webs and dirty patio furniture.

Our stay at Mountain Mist Cabins was exceptional. The cabin was very clean, thoughtfully appointed, and provided everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and spending evenings by the fire pit, it made for a perfect way to unwind after hiking! My kids loved the arcade games as well.The host was very communicative, and the check-in and check-out process was seamless. The location was ideal, just minutes from Great Smoky Mountains National Park and conveniently close to several excellent restaurants.We highly recommend this cabin and look forward to returning in the future.

Loved the cabin. It was spacious and clean and had plenty of privacy. It was up the hill by itself which we were super glad we didn’t have immediate neighbors. The hot tub was great, the fireplace, and fire pit area was nice as well. The cabin provided several necessities as well.

Our stay at the cabin was wonderful! We really enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub, and on our last night had a movie night in the cozy living room with fireplace. Sleeping spaces were very comfortable. Mostly we couldn’t believe how conveniently located the cabin was—we didn’t plan that when we booked it so it was a very pleasant surprise. SO close to restaurants and grocery stores, visitor centers, Tuckaleechee caverns, etc. We would absolutely stay here again and hope to in the future!

This is a beautiful cabin in a wonderful location! It is very close to the main road in Townsend and thus about as close as one can stay near Cades Cove, and yet it is isolated on a hill with no other residences visible when in the cabin or on the spacious porch.

We enjoyed our stay very much. everything was very, clean, nicely decorated and provided everything we needed. Comfortable beds, great showers and cozy set up. We hiked Spruce Flats Falls, toured Tuckaleechee Caverns, visited Dollywood and played Hillbilly Putt Putt in Gatlinburg. I was so tired and sore that the hot tub was a real savior! We saw a black bear outside the cabin, which our kids throughly enjoyed! Close access to many activities. Bring a swimsuit because no store in Townsend sells them!

Beautiful mountain cabin

This was our 2nd stay this year in this amazing cabin. Its in a great location - peaceful with gorgeous views. The cabin itself is spacious, equipped with everything you need and spotlessly clean. Has a great wrap-around porch with hot tub, picnic table and rocking chairs to enjoy a relaxing evening. Derek was also a great host!
