I would highly recommend this place, very beautiful and cozy amazing view
The stay was great. Great little old house in a quite area. Good views. Only issue i had is the water heater does not supply enough hot water to fill the jetted tub. That was my only disappointment with this house. Would recommend this place to stay
Totally enjoyed our stay here, property was just as described, and very quiet location. Great base for day trips, or just relaxing in the porch swing. Host was easy to correspond with, and provided everything we needed. Definitely plan to stay here again if possible!
The Cozy Cottage was everything we had hoped for: Great location near Cades Cove, the giant cave, and great hikes. The place was clean and spacious. A nice home away from home in the Smoky Mountains! The horses out back were fun to watch too.
Place was beautiful an cozy not far from horse riding stalls an caves had a hot tub in master bedroom more of a bathtub with jets but still relaxing owner was very polite woman loved the cabin will 100% recommend an go back soon
Great place to stay. Quiet and peaceful neighborhood just minutes from Townsend. The Rancher had everything we needed for our stay and the added bonus of some of our favorite food seasonings in the cabinet (it’s the little things). Will definitely keep this as the first place we look at for every trip to the area.
We went on a babymoon to Melody’s cabin and it was lovely. The cabin was very homey and cozy and had everything we needed! We really enjoyed our stay, and Melody is a great host. Would definitely recommend!
