Wildwood Cottage — Romantic Log Cabin Retreat in the Great Smoky Mountains
Escape to Wildwood Cottage, a cozy log cabin tucked away in the heart of Townsend, TN — just minutes from the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Designed with couples in mind, this charming 1-bedroom studio cabin is the perfect place to relax, reconnect, and enjoy the peaceful beauty of the mountains.
The Experience
Step inside and feel the warmth of mountain living surround you. The open studio layout features a king-size bed with a whirlpool tub right beside it, creating a romantic and relaxing atmosphere. In the living room, curl up by the wood-burning fireplace and watch the flames dance as you sip wine or hot cocoa.
The fully equipped kitchen and dining area make it easy to share meals together, whether you’re cooking breakfast before a day of hiking or enjoying a quiet dinner in. The bathroom offers a stand-up shower for refreshing after your outdoor adventures.
Outdoor Bliss
Step out onto your private deck and take in the fresh mountain air. Dine al fresco at the outdoor dining area, sway gently on the porch swing, or soak under the stars in your own private hot tub — the perfect ending to a day in the Smokies.
Community Perks
Located in the peaceful Timberwinds Log Cabin Community, Wildwood Cottage also gives you access to a seasonal swimming pool and pavilion, ideal for cooling off or relaxing on warm days.
Important to Know
The cabin is located up a steep mountain road, and 4x4 or AWD is required in inclement weather year-round — but that’s part of the adventure! Once you arrive, you’ll be rewarded with a quiet, private retreat that feels worlds away from the busy everyday.
The Perfect Couples’ Getaway
Whether you’re celebrating a honeymoon, anniversary, or simply looking for a romantic couples' stay, Wildwood Cottage offers a magical setting for making memories in the Great Smoky Mountains.

FEES: The management company of this cabin charges a $20 per stay Damage Waiver Fee to every customer. It is automatically included in your rate. This covers our guests for up to $350 worth of accidental damage should damage occur during their stay. If damage occurs to the cabin, furnishings, etc, please report it to management as soon as possible so that the damage can be repaired. You may opt out of paying the $20 damage waiver fee by putting down a $350 REFUNDABLE damage deposit. DAMAGE CAUSED BY A PET IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE DAMAGE WAIVER.
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 require a 4-wheel drive under normal weather conditions, but some do in inclement weather.
*TV & WiFi: We do have TV's and WiFi in almost all 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.
