Most cabins in Townsend, TN are private rentals up a mountain road: you pick up a lockbox code, haul groceries up a gravel drive, and you are on your own if the hot water quits. Tremont’s cabin works differently. It is a stand-alone, newly redesigned two-bedroom cabin on the grounds of a family-owned resort on Highway 321, so you get cabin space and privacy with a front desk, an indoor pool and a fire pit a short walk away.
Townsend calls itself the Peaceful Side of the Smokies for a reason. You are minutes from the park entrance, the Little River and the road to Cades Cove, without the traffic of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. If you are comparing Townsend cabin rentals and vacation rentals for your trip, this page covers what our cabin offers, how it compares to a typical rental, and what is nearby.
