Laurel House

Great for a quick trip, centrally located to Knoxville, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and TOTD.

Beautiful, Peaceful area near Townsend. We were very glad that we chose to stay in the Townsend area while visiting the smokey mountains. It as the "peaceful side". Many great restaurants and shopping in Townsend.

This cabin is within a golf course community at the end of a cul de sac on a ridge. The location is very private and secluded, yet easily accessed with nearby amenities. We loved that we were minutes from Townsend, the National park, and the highway, but far enough for peace and quiet. The views were great! The back porch was a perfect place for relaxing and enjoying the mountains. The downside is that the rockers and swing are not very comfortable. We also thought we would enjoy the screen porch more, but while the chairs were comfy for sitting, they weren’t great for eating at the table. If you require high end decor, this is not the place for you. The aesthetic of the cabin is fitting for the area and reminiscent of grandma’s house. With the exception of the upstairs queen bed which is WAY past its prime, we were very comfortable lounging inside. The kitchen had just the basics, but having a dishwasher and ice dispenser on the fridge was nice.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Was very pleased that description was accurate. Plenty of room, comfortable, and had more than what we expected. Loved sitting/swinging on the porch taking in the views, local small wildlife(deer, rabbits, & a hummingbird), and just relaxing. Plenty of room for your clothes and basically anything else you take. There was plenty of lighting in each room. A/C worked great. Water pressure was very good- upstairs and downstairs. The driveway is narrow, but not to the point of it being a problem-room enough for 2 vehicles-and we backed in. Can’t remember if a blow dryer was listed-but I didn’t see one(always bring my own anyway). Fridge always had plenty of ice readily available. We arrived at almost dark. This made it a little hard to read road signs-has some twists and turns to get there-but still made it with hardly a hiccup. Directions are precise. We had a really enjoyable few days with our guys!!! Townsend is an amazing place with lots to do and see.
