Welcome to Laurel Ridge, a charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath cabin perched on a quiet private road in beautiful Townsend, Tennessee. This cozy retreat offers a spectacular mountain view, making it the perfect spot to relax, recharge, and soak in the peaceful side of the Smokies.
Inside, you’ll find everything you need for a comfortable stay. The cabin features two queen bedrooms, plus a sofa sleeper in the living room for additional guests. The wood-burning fireplace adds that classic mountain-cabin feel - perfect for cool evenings with a warm blanket and a cup of cocoa. The fully equipped kitchen includes all the essentials for preparing meals, whether you’re whipping up breakfast before a day in the mountains or enjoying a quiet dinner in.
Step outside to enjoy the breathtaking scenery right from your private hot tub, the ideal place to unwind after hiking, sightseeing, or exploring the area.
Laurel Ridge is tucked away with just a few neighboring cabins, offering privacy while still being conveniently located. You’ll be just minutes from Townsend, known as the Peaceful Side of the Smokies, where you can enjoy local dining, tubing on the river, and easy access to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Cades Cove, hiking trails, scenic drives, and the attractions of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg are all a short, beautiful drive away.
Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a family escape, or a weekend with friends, Laurel Ridge offers the perfect blend of comfort, charm, and unforgettable mountain views.

Common Concerns:
*Road Conditions: Some of our cabins are on steep, narrow, curvy, mountain roads. If you are concerned about road conditions to get to a cabin, please feel free to ask us! None of our cabins requires a 4-wheel drive under normal weather conditions, but some do in inclement weather.
*TV & WiFi: We do have TVs and WiFi in most of our cabins. There are times when heavy cloud cover, weather systems, mountains, or trees will cause problems with the signals. We always want our guests to have the comforts they want on vacation, but there are times we cannot control this problem.
*Pests & Wildlife: Here in the Smoky Mountains, we have lots of native bugs and wildlife. All of our cabins are treated for pests, but there are times you will find bugs or even have trouble with bugs. Fall/Winter is ladybug season in the Smokies, and these little buggers are attracted to heat, meaning your cabin and every other one out there that is warm! They will swarm to the cabin, and you'll probably see them alive/dead on windowsills, in vents, etc. Rest assured that your cabin has regular pest control and is professionally cleaned, including bug removal, before and after your stay. However, these bugs come back right away, and unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done about them until the season passes. Please never feed, taunt, or approach any wildlife. This is their home, and we are the visitors.
*There are no refunds for storms or power outages. If there is a power outage, there will be no water and potentially no heat. Storms can also make roads impassable, so if a storm is in the forecast during your reservation, come prepared with water and non-perishable food, etc.
