A wonderful warm and cozy cabin. We loved the screened porch and spent the most time out there. Very well stocked . We made several meals there and had All we needed. We even saw a turkey nearby. Very clean and well laid out. Thanks for such a wonderful place. -
Yasvic Condee - 4/1/2026
We traveled from Florida to Tennessee. We loved the cabin. It was perfect for family time, it's a 40-minute drive from Gatlinburg and Ober Mountain; everything else is near there. The cabin itself was beautiful and cozy. -

Sibyl Johns - 12/18/2025
Pretty and cozy cabin with comfortable beds and seating. Easier access than most places we've stayed. We really enjoyed the Christmas decorations and general decor. Cedar knob is everything you might want in a mountain getaway. The Smoky Cabins management is very accommodating and easy to work with. We will definitely book again. -

Rene Fincher - 1/22/2025
We had a wonderful time during our short stay at Cedar Knob. We didn't want to leave. Everything was perfect. The cabin is very comfortable, cozy and clean. The check-in/check-out process through Smoky Cabins rentals was so easy. Thank you Keith and Cathy! We look forward to booking again with you in the future. -

Christine tinsley - 11/14/2023
Lovely stay but wish there was coffee available at the house.Management Response: Thank you for staying with us at Cedar Knob. We do not supply coffee as there are so many different options and so many different tastes in coffee that we ask guests to bring what they like. -
Virginia Schmuck - 11/11/2023
Everything was so wonderful. We enjoyed a quiet vacation with no medical issues to interrupt our vacation. God was good to us. I want to thank you for the opportunity to have “our time” together in a cabin that was as close to handicap as I could have hoped for. Had the front rail been a little easier to use or had a ramp entrance it would have been what we considered a totally handicap cabin. Thank you! It was a very well maintained facility that will make for an awesome getaway for others. -
Linda Newton - 10/14/2023
Our cabin was wonderful, close to every thing we wanted to do. Townsend IS the quieter side of the Smokies, a lot less traffic. We would definitely stay again! Thank you -
Cassandra McKenzie - 10/12/2023
It’s always a pleasure to stay in your rental properties! They’re so cozy and welcoming. I’ve been renting for you all for 4-5 years now and I will not ever rent from anyone else! Thanks so much for our awesome stay and we will see you again next year! -
Marsha Reed - 10/4/2023
We really love this cabin. This was our second year to rent it. We didn't know about the return customer discount. Sure would have saved on the $189 a night rate in September....I did purchase and leave kitchen utensils for our use and everyone else. Last year the utensils were very sparse. Could use some brighter lights in the bedroom. The screened porch was our favorite!!! Will definitely rent it again!! -
Jan - 9/10/2023
The rental process was quick and easy. Check in and out was a breeze and we had no issues while we were there. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the peaceful side of the Smokies. -

Connie Blackketter - 10/15/2022
We first stayed in this cabin in 2011 when it was managed by another agency. This past week was our 8th visit. We love it. As hikers who stay away from the commercial areas nearby, we find the location perfect. The cabin is always clean and we appreciated the upgrades since our last visit before the pandemic. The screened porch is a favorite feature. This cabin is perfect for us and much loved. -
Marsha Reed - 9/26/2022
We absolutely loved this cabin. We were looking for some peace and quiet and this cabin definitely provided just that. It is well furnished and very comfortable. The screened-in porch was the icing on the cake. We spent a lot of time out there just relaxing. There is a cabin next door but no one was there until our last night. We will definitely book this cabin next year. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!!!!! -

Donna Dixon - 8/1/2022
We had a great experience at this beautiful cabin. Loved the location, and having proximity to the golf course. It was very clean and very quiet. Cabin was very comfortable and functional. The decor was really cute, and made it seem cozy. Didn't use the kitchen or 2nd bedroom/bath/sitting room upstairs, but it looked nice. The main bathroom was large, which was nice. Easy checkin and good communication. Would rent again. -
Catherine Lamar - 7/25/2022

We loved our stay at the cabin. We could stay there forever. The view was gorgeous. The cabin was very homey. And the fireplace was a plus. We wish we got one with a hot tub. But next time we will. We def will be back. All my questions were answered quickly. And everyone was so nice when we phoned in also. We had Christmas there and had alot of trash and they were quick to respond and get the trash picked up after I called. It was a dream come true vacation spot. -

Vito Lanzisero - 9/22/2021
The cabin was great! Everything we needed was there. It was very clean and "newish". My only concern on arrival was if we could get our motorcycle trailer to the house location through the tight roads leading up to it. We managed and all was good. I would definitely rent there again. -
David Maurin - 9/16/2021
The cabin was wonderful. You could tell that everything was new from top to bottom. Nicely done and decorated. Would have been happy to sit on the back porch all day to enjoy the peace and quiet.
