Escape to Mountain Shade, a sprawling three-bedroom, three-bathroom retreat designed for those who value space, serenity, and the simple joys of the Smokies. Located in a wonderfully quiet area of Townsend, TN, this cabin offers the rare combination of a "spread out" feel with all the modern comforts your group needs for a perfect mountain getaway.
Space for the Whole Crew
Whether you’re traveling with family or a group of friends, Mountain Shade provides a flexible layout that ensures everyone has a comfortable place to land:
The Master Suite: A true sanctuary featuring a luxurious king-size bed and a private ensuite bathroom. Melt away the day in the whirlpool bathtub or enjoy the convenience of the stand-up shower.
The Downstairs Retreat: Perfect for families, the lower-level bedroom features a queen bed plus a full-under-twin bunk set, giving the kids or extra guests their own dedicated space.
Extra Sleeping: For larger groups, the spacious living room includes a sleeper sofa for additional guests.
Full Bathrooms: With three full bathrooms (all featuring stand-up showers), there’s never a wait to get ready for a day of adventure.
Cozy Interiors & Local Flavor
The heart of the home is the expansive living room, anchored by a traditional wood-burning stove that creates a warm, nostalgic atmosphere on crisp Tennessee evenings. The kitchen is fully and thoughtfully equipped, making it easy to prepare everything from a quick trail snack to a full holiday dinner.
Outdoor Living & Unique Amenities
Mountain Shade is built to help you enjoy the "Peaceful Side of the Smokies" to the fullest:
Private Screened Deck: Accessible directly from the master bedroom, the screened back deck features a table and chairs—the ultimate spot for your morning coffee or a late-night card game without the bugs.
Bonfire Pit: Gather everyone around the outdoor bonfire pit to roast marshmallows and swap stories under the stars.
Room to Park: Traveling with a trailer, motorcycles, or multiple vehicles? You’ll love the large, flat parking area. Plus, guests have full access to the garage, providing extra security and convenience for your gear.
The Perfect Location
Situated on a large lot in a very quiet neighborhood, Mountain Shade offers the peace and quiet you come to Townsend for, while remaining just minutes from the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
PETS
We do not accept pets in any of our cabins without specific written approval from management. Only those dogs that have specific and formal training as a SERVICE dog will be allowed in our cabins. Emotional support animals are not accepted.
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 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.
Located in Townsend, this cabin is in the mountains. The area's natural beauty can be seen at Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Cades Cove. Tube Junction and River Rage Go-Kart Track are also worth visiting.
