  The cabin is nestled up a hill and at the end of a road. On three sides of the house and balcony, your view is trees and mountains. The house itself is cozy and comfortable. You feel like you are home as soon as you walk inside. I am looking forward to staying here on our next trip to the Smokies.

  Everything was perfect
• Angela Davis - 5/4/2018
  We absolutely loved The Owls Roost!! Everything was AMAZING! We loved the decor. The owners have thought of everything their guest would need. The porch and hot tub were a definite favorite. We plan on staying again next year. We will definitely tell our friends and family this is the place to stay if visiting the smokes. I had seen previous reviews saying the water had a smell to it, the water did not have any smell at all. Thank you for providing a perfect place to stay for our trip!!!
• Vernon Von Werder - 5/7/2018
  The cabin was awesome. I saw a bear cub knock over the bar-b-que grill and after he ran off I picked it back up, Unfortunately I could not get to my camera quick enough to take his picture. I was able to completely relax and I will return
• Melissa Reed - 5/11/2018

• The Eaddys - 8/18/2018
  Owls Roost was just what we expected and were looking for after seeing the photos. It was cheery and very comfortable. We loved the porch and actually saw a screech owl just off the porch looking at us before it flew off to join a friend calling in the distance. Our only drawback was not spending more time at the cabin. We hope to return someday soon.
• David Franklin - 9/3/2018
  I’ve lost count on the number of times we’ve stayed with you but this one has to be at the top of our list. So quiet and peaceful. It was a great weekend.
• Lisa Bohanon - 9/23/2018
  Loved everything about this little cottage. "Owl-bsolutely" perfect. The porch was amazing. Hope to visit again soon. This is our 6th tome in 7 yrs.staying with Smoky Cabins. Wouldn't consider renting from anyone else.
• Cathy Rue - 10/2/2018
  Peace and tranquility abound in this cottage. The road ends here. There are other cabins nearby but we never heard anything but nature. Every effort has been made for relaxing...from the comfortable beds to the hot tub on the screened in porch. There are many choices of books, puzzles, and DVDs. The rocking chairs and swing on the porch are great places for watching the birds and animals. If you're lucky, you might see an owl too! The kitchen is well stocked with lots of pans, utensils, dishes, glasses, and coffee cups. There's even a dishwasher to help with clean up! There's also a nice outdoor fire pit and grill. I've stayed in many places over the years, and this has truly been one of the best stays. We hope to stay here again when we're visiting Cades Cove and the national park.
• Charlotte Farr - 10/5/2018
  My family loves everything about the Owl's Roost!!!Everything you need, plus more. Very private.Convenient to so many places, Great Smoky Mtns., Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Townsend, and Maryville. We'd highly recommend this cabin.
• Kim Reed - 10/16/2018
  Great Cabin. It has one of the best porches of any of the cabins we have rented and the interior is well designed and very comfortable.
• Paul Eyster - 11/17/2018
  We have stayed here many times. The owners provide everything you could possibly need. This is one of our favorites. See you next year!!!
• Susan Durham - 11/18/2018

  The cabin was very nice. We all felt right at home! We will defiantly stay again.
• Judy Dillon - 3/27/2019
  We have stayed in 6 different cabins with Smoky Cabins and they have all been great, but this cabin is the "cream of the crop"--can you tell I am married to a 3rd generation farmer :) Arrived March 1 and within 1 hour of being there we were greeted by what appeared to be a yearling bear, there was nothing cooking on the grill yet so he went on his way up the mountain. We are already planning next trip and look forward to staying in Owl's Roost many more times!!! Extra special thank you to Cathy at Smoky Cabins, we think she is awesome.
• Kurt & Debbie - 4/21/2019
  We loved the location and setting. Very convienient, yet quiet and secluded. It was exactly what we hoped for. Will definitely be back.

  As always we were very happy with the cabin! It was a very peaceful and relaxing visit. Thank you!
• Jessica Graham - 8/5/2019
  Owlsroost was in a perfect location for us. It allows for quick access to the edge of the park, away from the crowds. The screened porch was amazing and we saw the local bear. Check-in/check-out was easy.
• Ashley Danos - 8/9/2019
  The cabin was clean, comfortable and well-stocked. A little worn and aged, not like a sparkling new hotel room, but good enough for us! Great location, directly before the park entrance. We are very happy with our stay there.
• Rick Hudolin - 8/11/2019
  This cabin was perfect. My guys getaway weekend had fallen apart and I had a buddy coming in from out of town so I was scrambling foe a place to get away and de-stress. Cathy was awesome to work with. The cabin was perfect, secluded. Beautiful wrap around porch with rocking chairs left me rejuvenated. The hot tub was a nice touch. Water could have been warmer but it was still relaxing. Charcoal grill and fire pit were great. Cabin was clean and spacious. I plan to come back with my family. It was great to catch up with an old friend.
• CHERI KRINER - 8/17/2019
  Comfortable, peaceful place to stay. Stocked with everything you need. Great location close to park entrance.

• Chester Austin - 10/28/2019
  Great time and great cabin. Can't wait till next year and we will come back!😁👌
• Robin Cole - 10/31/2019
  Owl's Roost was perfect for our needs: quiet, peaceful, in great surroundings up in the treetops. As Florida birders, we enjoyed this vantage point. The cabin was immaculate with whimsical appointments reflecting the local flavor and name of the cabin. Spacious and comfortable in every way. We hope to return again in the future.
• Michael Wilson - 12/9/2019
  Beautiful weekend in this sweet cabin! Loved the Christmas decorations, so homey and relaxing!
• Scarlett Overton - 12/26/2019
  We enjoyed the perfect Christmas thanks to Owls Roost. The decorations were beautifully done and made the perfect setting for opening gifts. The fully stocked kitchen made it easy to prepare meals, and the kids loved the hot tub, fire pit, and fast internet. Loved the location and easy access, and the screened in porch makes it especially unique. Thanks for helping our Christmas dreams come true by offering this clean, affordable place on the quiet side of the Smokies.
• Ashley Bunker - 2/19/2020
  This is a wonderful cabin with such a warm and inviting atmosphere. we have been visiting this cabin for three years and plan on it for many more. Thanks!
• Judy Dillon - 3/12/2020
  We have stayed in several cabins with smoky cabins over the last few years and loved each one of them. This cabin is by far our favorite. Was wonderful to see all the new appliances and the new gazebo built over the grill !!! We seen the neighborhood bear last March but did not see him this year, we did have snow so maybe he was sleeping in. We are already picking our dates for our next stay in Owls Roost!
• Patricia - 5/12/2020
  This is the most relaxing place that we go to. We have stayed here for several years and will continue to book our stays here at Owls Roost. I would highly recommend staying here. Once you have, you will come back.

• Tammy Anschultz - 7/5/2020
  We love this cabin.
• Brad Benson - 7/10/2020
  Amazing cabin!! Love the hot tub to relax at the end of the night. Mornings on the porch listening to the birds was great. Everything we hoped for and more!!
• Betsy Humphreys - 7/27/2020
  We have stayed in the Owl's Roost several times. It is the best of both worlds; secluded yet close to all that Townsend has to offer. It was spotless and stocked with everything one might need. We'll be staying here again for sure.
• Christopher - 8/1/2020
  Great cabin that had a very homey and comfortable feel. We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was clean and was very well stocked. It had everything we needed for our stay. The very large shaded porch was our favorite place in the cabin. We enjoyed the swing and all the rockers. We would definitely stay again.
• Eric St - 8/2/2020
  We enjoyed your cabin! The space was great for the 5 of us! Porch space was a bonus, our son and his wife slept on an air mattress out there! We enjoyed the fire pit every evening!! Thank you!
• Joyce Conner - 8/9/2020
  Lovely well kept cabin in the woods. Plenty of space with all the seating , absolutely fabulous screened in porch everyone loved. Hot tub , rockers, porch swing, nature, cool mornings... couldn’t ask for more. Very clean. Saw the bear within 2 hrs after arrival briefly ( think he came into the grill area hoping we were sloppy. After that only sign of him was a ripped charcoal bag( still no midnight snack from us!) Very close to Cades Cove and Tremont trails( underrated). Great place !
• Jennifer Robertson - 8/13/2020
  The cabin was very clean. The accommodations were very nice. The drive up was also nice. It’s a one way drive in some spots so that can get tricky! The cabin had all we needed & more! The WiFi was spotty at best but the tv worked just fine:) Would def stay again!

  Management Response: We will check out the wifi because it typically works very well with very fast speed. Thank you for letting us know.

• Mariusz Chojnacki - 2/15/2021
  Very cozy, private and clean. The cabin felt like home from the moment we walked in. Lots of pictures, lamps, comfortable seating and tables. The kitchen was well stacked and clean. Appliances were clean and working well. The bedrooms were also clean and the bedding smelled fresh. The cabin is at the end of the street and there is no traffic going through. The area is wooded giving sense of privacy and quietness. Good place to seek Lord’s presence, read the Bible, and pray. We would have stayed for 2 weeks had we known how nice the place was.
• Amber Hice - 3/25/2021
  Loved the cabin! It had everything we needed. We took groceries and board games and did not leave the cabin for 2 days. It was so clean and comfortable. We will return (hopefully next year for more days)!
• Paul Barrois - 3/26/2021
  Cabin was very clean and comfortable. It was very peaceful and relaxing. We enjoyed our stay.
• Margaret Tiani - 4/3/2021
  Very clean, well-eqipped cabin was home for one week to my 9yo children, husband and me. Nice hot tub, great view of mountainside, excellent hiking opportunities at the literal doorstep. The baking pans were especially loved. Very cute decor. Close to the peaceful town and to the entrance of the NP. The starter supplies were plenty. We were excited to see a few salamanders on the mountain trail. OwlsRoost more than met all our needs.
• Cathy Henn - 4/21/2021
  Lovely house lovely setting very clean . Thankyou!
• Joshua Berg - 4/24/2021
  Wonderfull area! Clean and private! Comfortable! Described well will be booking again next year
• Yvette Justice - 5/10/2021
  This is the perfect getaway which is clean and offers seclusion away from the stress of the world rather you enjoy hot tub, cooking around fire, rocking or swinging on the enclosed porch or opening the sliding glass doors for inside outside living or looking at the many owl decorations this will be a hoot of a trip for you
• Linda Beam - 5/12/2021
  We had a wonderful visit to Owls Roost! When we arrived, it was spotless and well supplied. Towels were plentiful and we had every kitchen utensil we could have needed. Beds were extremely comfortable. The screened-in porch offered a wonderful place to enjoy early morning coffee and late afternoon quiet. On our last evening, a bear came to visit. The location of the home made it so easy to get out and about quickly. It was a great visit, not long enough, but we will keep Owls Roost in mind when we stay in Townsend again.
• Karen Eagle - 5/26/2021
  The outdoor living spaces are fantastic. The bird life is excellent--included pileated woodpeckers and Chuck will's widow! The cabin is well furnished. The airflow in the bedrooms is somewhat inadequate (got really stuffy overnight). We'd definitely rent it again.
• Susan Schauer - 6/20/2021
  The cabin was the perfect fit for our family! The huge screened in porch slowed is to enjoy breakfast with the birds. The deck and fire pit area were more than enough to allow others vacationing with us to leave the crowded campground and relax at the end of the secluded road. We appreciated the quality of everything from the pots and pans to the bedding and furniture. We will most definitely book this same cabin again!
• Ashley James - 6/23/2021
  Wonderful cabin! The one issue we had was fixed quickly. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again!
• Matt Stubbendick - 7/4/2021
  Beautiful, well-maintained cabin. Loved the large porch and grill/firepit areas. Would love to stay again.
• Pam Tish - 7/27/2021
  It was a great and relaxing place to stay!! We were able to see bear! Would definitely stay again!
• Debra Monaghan - 9/1/2021
  The house was very clean and smelled good.This has been our 4th or 5th time at this cabin.The site is easy to use.
• Dale Stahre - 9/5/2021
  We thouroughly enjoyed our stay at the Owls Roost. The morning time on the screened in porch was so peaceful. The hot tub was something to look forward to after a day of hiking at the park or golfing at the areas golf courses. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. But best of all was the cabins proximity to the national park. We look forward to staying again.
• Becky Hibbard - 9/22/2021
  Absolutely loved the outdoor area of this cottage! Morning coffee on the deck was so peaceful. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need to cook and prep your meals! The owner has even invested in good pots and pans! The owner has been working on updating it inside but still needs to be finished updating. The value for the price is very worth it.
• Adam Nail - 10/23/2021
  We love this cabin
• Linda Beam - 11/3/2021
  This was my second time staying here and I enjoyed it as much as the first time. The cabin is very well located to all the things we enjoy and it has everything we need for a cozy and comfortable stay!
• Matthew Glassmeyer - 11/11/2021
  Nice place with all you need for a great stay. Perfect location, close to most activities but feels secluded once you’re there.
• Angie & Joey Moffett - 12/8/2021
  Beautiful place to relax and recharge, once you got to the cabin you felt very secluded and peaceful. The was very clean and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. We will definitely be staying with Smoky Cabins on our next visit to the Smoky Mountains. Thank you for sharing your rental with us. 🙂

We will definitely be coming back to this cottage. Keith and Cathy are super sweet and very accommodating. Thank you for a great spring break with my granddaughters.
• Martin Behn - 5/1/2022
  Loved the cabin and wouldn't hesitate booking it again if we are back in the area.
• Freelon Campbell - 5/15/2022
  This was the perfect cabin for us. It was not far from Cades Cove. It was clean, comfortable, and cozy. This will be the cabin we will want the next time we come to Townsend.
• Deborah Peters - 7/3/2022
  We enjoyed our stay at this cabin . It is so close to the Great Smokey Mountains. We did several day hikes and went down to the Little River with our chairs...
• Beth Cooper - 7/9/2022
  Cabin was wonderful!! We really enjoyed the screened porch and hot tub at night! We loved how peaceful and relaxing it was! It was close to everything and away from all the craziness. The area was beautiful would definitely stay here again.
• Anne Edwards - 8/2/2022
  Fantastic location-close to the Smokies and yet away from the bustle of nearby cities. A quiet cabin perched on top of a wooded hill
• David Moore - 8/15/2022
  Awesome
• Julie Rayburn - 8/30/2022
  Very homey, clean, refreshing place to be! We could not have asked for a better fit for our little get away. Thank you for having all the essentials and the nice clean fresh linens at our disposal. The porch was the bomb! Loved it! Actually loved everything about the stay.
• Joan Oliva - 10/15/2022

• Kathye Dotson - 10/24/2022
  Loved my stay at The Owls Roost. Cozy and comfortable. Last cabin up on the mountain so very quiet and relaxing. Loved the beds - slept like a baby.
• Ariel Cole - 11/7/2022
  The cabin was such a nice getaway in a great location. We were a little disappointed that our original cabin was no longer available but the amenities, cleanliness and coziness of this cabin definitely made up for it. The beds and pillows were so comfy. The kitchen had everything a person who loves to cook could ask for and the porch was the perfect place to relax with a cup of coffee. We enjoyed the fire pit at night and a long soak in the hot tub. We will definitely be returning in the near future, this place definitely feels like home more than a vacation rental. Thank you for the hospitality and thoughtfulness that went into making this place so great.
• Joel Mckee - 2/12/2023
  Enjoyed our weekend at the owls roost very quite and peaceful and clean would definitely do again
• Yvette Justice - 2/26/2023
  This cabin is in a spot that is private it is nice and down to earth with a great view and anything you could need
• David Lanning - 3/6/2023
  Excellent cabin, we enjoyed it a lot! Close to lots of entertainment but far enough away to be nice and quiet.
• Melissa Kokay - 4/1/2023
  The most beautiful cabin, nature, mountains, trails, amenities such as the pool and hot tub with the most gorgeous views ever! Loved the game room and the trail. Great proximity to so many fun things to do, we were busy with great times every day! Gatlinburg with Anakeesta, Sky Bridge, Ripley's Aquarium. Then Pigeon Forge direction with Five Adventures Park Ziplining and horse back riding. And the Tuckaleechee Caverns were so wondrous! We brought our daughter for Senior Spring Break and made beautiful memories. Thank you! Constructive feedback: we could not control the temperature in the hot tub at Owls Roost.
• Christy - 4/18/2023
  This is a lovely and comfortable home that we really loved. The kitchen is well stocked with everything we needed. The dining table was great for meals and games in the evening. We were happy to have 2 bathrooms and enjoyed the shower that has wonderful water pressure and plenty of hot water. The living room furniture is perfect for lounging and watching the large screen TV. We found the beds and high end linens to be very comfy. Most of all we loved the huge wrap around screened porch! We spent time soaking in the hot tub, reading books in the rockers, swinging in the swing, and playing dominoes at the table. Oh and we had fun sitting by a fire in the fire pit. It was the perfect vacation spot with antique shops, river, smoky mountains, cades cove, Gatlinburg, and Pigeon Forge nearby. We hope to visit again in the Fall.
• Robin Wilson - 5/6/2023
  We enjoyed our stay at Owls Roost. My parents have stayed in your cabin for years and wanted to visit again.
• Mildred Perkins - 5/19/2023
  We enjoy this cabin so much. It's why we've come back so often. It's quiet, with a teriffic porch for hanging out and listening to the bear go by.
• Freelon Campbell - 6/6/2023
  This is the 2nd time to stay in the Owls Roost. We love this cabin, clean, comfortable and cozy. We hope to stay in this cabin next year.

  Great cabin very cozy and clean. Love the porch.
• Navya Kola - 7/6/2023
  The cabin was extremely comfortable and very cozy.. the cabin is located at the end of the road giving us privacy and surrounds us with nature. Owls roost cabin was big and everything was provided in the cabin and kept very clean.I and my friends had a great time staying at owls roost and definitely encourage others to put it on their list of cabins to stay when they visit the smokies.
• ed willette - 7/7/2023
  Beautiful cabin. Everything was more than we had hoped for. Had an awesome time.
• Tammy Roman - 7/31/2023

• Kim Reed - 10/23/2023
  Stayed at Owls Roost many times and we find it the most enjoyable of the cabins we have rented in the area. Good quiet location.
• Cliff - 1/9/2024
  We enjoyed our stay in Owl's Roost cabin. The location was great, the cabin was spacious, the beds were comfortable, the hot tub was very relaxing, the washer and dryer were very helpful and the gas fireplace was the "icing on the cake". We would stay here again.
• Lawrence Williamson - 3/18/2024
  Cabin was cozy and quiet. Good location with nice wrap around porch. Comfortable beds, couches and chairs.
• Sharon and Cliff Gerrish - 4/1/2024
  Excellent cabin. Plenty of space, very comfortable and very clean. The screened in porch is lovely to sit out and listen to the outdoors. It is a very quiet area and very peaceful. We used the firepit which was so peaceful at night. The gas burning fireplace was a welcome on the chilly nights! The campground is below and it's fun to take a walk through the area at night and see everyone having a great time. Overall a great experience. We've used Smoky Cabins for about 17 years and have always had a great experience.
• Dave Rockey - 5/17/2024
  Great stay for a quick, spur of the moment getaway for me and my wife. This is our third time in this cabin. My wife and I stay here when we come to the mountains1-3 times a year, because it is so close to Cade’s Cove and it is ALWAYS clean (this is HUGE for my wife and me). The fire pit and hot tub are nice, but our favorite feature the cabin BY FAR (other than the cleanliness) is the screened in wrap around porch/deck! It is nice to be able to sit outside and just relax in the swing or a rocking chair without the concern of bugs. It also give my wife a little “false” sense of security from the forest animals.
• Rick Moore - 6/15/2024
  We've enjoyed all our trips to Tennessee and all the cabins we've stayed in but this was our favorite!
• Tammy Anschultz - 7/9/2024
  We love this cabin. It has everything we need.
