Time Well Wasted - A Mountain Woodland Retreat

Time Well Wasted is a woodland retreat that sits on over three private acres of parklike setting with beautiful hardwoods, moss covered rocks, and wildlife galore! The owners have brought the outside indoors with a wall of glass that will greet you as you enter the cabin. This feature looks out into this beautiful setting and can be enjoyed no matter what the weather.
This cabin is set up for the more mature guest who are looking to retreat into nature and enjoy the peace and quiet of these beautiful mountains. It is large enough to enjoy for extended visits, and cozy enough to enjoy as a weekend get away.
This couples cabin has two large bedrooms with King sized beds and two full baths along with a spacious great room complete with a stacked stone wood burning fireplace. Enjoy the evenings in the great outdoors with the sounds of nature at your side on the deck just off of the living room.

A well equipped kitchen will provide you with everything you need to cook your meals at home inside or outside on the gas grill. New stainless steel appliances make this wonderful kitchen sparkle.
This cabin has easy access and is located in the gated community of Laurel Valley in Townsend.
Townsend is located at the Cades Cove entry to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.
It has been deemed the Peaceful Side of the Smokies, and lives up to the nick-name.
The access to this cabin is easy with paved roadways all the way. Plenty of parking and motorcycle friendly.
There are 11 steps to the main level from the driveway. There are no further steps once you are inside.. The entire cabin and decking are all on one level. Come and enjoy this peaceful side retreat! in the Great Smoky Mountains.

Enjoyed our stay at TWW - all the amenities we required were provided - the only reason I would not give 5 stars on cleanliness, the edge around the coffee table has not been dusted in a very long time and piles of leaves had accumulated on the steps and patio (which we swept) - very nice home and convenient location
