Cabin Name: Mountain Shade

Come and see this beautiful and spacious 3 bedroom/3 bathroom cabin located in Townsend, TN. Mountain Shade is located on a rural road with lots of peace and quiet.

Mtn. Shade would make a great place to call home for 3 couples, with each bedroom having it's own bathroom. A family of 6 - 11 could also enjoy this wonderful home. The cabin is situated on a large lot with a children playset and a bonfire pit.

FEES: The management company of this cabin charges a $50 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 $50 damage waiver fee by putting down a $350 REFUNDABLE damage deposit.

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 most 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.

The location and general building were awesome, but there were some issues that needed repairs and also it wasn't very clean (despite previous review calling it 'exceptionally' so).

Very Nice Stay In a Quiet Wooded Location
A large, modern, comfortable, well equipped cabin in a quiet wooded neighborhood. We were there for peak fall colors and had a beautiful display right from the deck. Easy access to nearby GSMNP border trails and a good location for returning easily from the Cades Cove Loop drive if you don't mind take the maintained gravel road for a while. It worked great for us and we enjoyed some world class fall color hiking. Kitchen was well equipped, though I would add a sheet pan myself. Microwave and sink were left uncleaned which seems more like maybe the cleaning staff was just in a bit of a hurry on the way out and missed them because everywhere else the cleaning was of a high standard so no real concerns, just details. We only used the king bed, it is of good quality, firm, and comfortable. Shower was good. Overall we were quite comfortable and would certainly stay again.

Great stay
We were in the area for a celebration of life and loved how close this home was located to Cades Cove. The home was very well kept. The shower space in the two bedrooms (not master) are very small but did the job. The pictures don’t do this property justice as it looks so much nicer in person.

Nice Stay
The cabin was easy to get to. It was exactly as described. Nice and clean. There were plenty of towels, washcloths, and toiletries. Any suggestion would maybe be to take extra pillows. The ones provided really didn't bother me but some people like thicker pillows. Also, some rooms don't have curtains. But again, that didn't bother us either. I didn't worry about anyone looking through the windows. Curtains would only take away the natural beauty of the cabin and the scenery. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back.

Wonderful area and people, great to get away into the woods for a quiet stay. The property is very nice, but be careful going downstairs (one of our group had a little slip) and know that the back-side windows don't have any shades, blinds or curtains.

So wonderful!
We rented Mountain Shades for my daughters 16th birthday. My husband, myself, her siblings, and her friends all stayed with us and we had such an amazing time. The cabin, was beautiful and inviting, clean and well stocked, spacious and intimate. It was such a great getaway, and it made her birthday into everything we were hoping for!

Nice location and roomy
The location was perfect.....but the mattresses are very uncomfortable. Heater downstairs didn’t work so some had to sleep on couches and chairs in the living room. I called Monday about asking how to cut on the heat. It never got above 60 degrees downstairs. Asked the owner could we get space heaters but that wasn’t an option for some reason. Fixed heater Friday morning but we were leaving Saturday. Cold uncomfortable week. I would probably stay again but was very put off by not even having another option for heat downstairs.

Seclusion, convenience, and comfort
We were very happy with the location. Only one other cabin was visible from the deck, yet Townsend was 11 minutes away. The living room was spacious and comfortable and the kitchen exceptionally well stocked. Two of the showers were tiny - a minor inconvenience. Check in and check out were quick and simple. It was an appropriate setting for us to spend a few days with our adult family.
