Cabin Name: Owls Roost Come and take a look at this beautifully decorated cottage located just outside of the Smoky Mountains National Park and Cades Cove. Owls Roost is located at the end of a very quiet dead end road. It offers peace and quiet as well as easy access. The master bedroom has a king size bed and 1/2 bath. The second bedroom has a queen bed and a twin beds. The main bathroom is off of the living space and offers a standard tub/shower. The kitchen is modern and well equipped. On the back of this cabin is a very large screened in porch. It overlooks a private mountain view and sits over a river. You can not see the river but you can hear the sounds of the rushing water which makes it very relaxing. The screened in porch has several rocking chairs, a swing and outside eating area. There is also an extra large hot tub that will be ready for you to use. Outside of the screened porch you will find a charcoal grill, table and chairs and a fire pit just for your family. Owls Roost provides Comcast cable and free wifi. We do not accept pets in any of the 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. IMPORTANT: Out of respect for the holidays and our employees, we do NOT allow ANY check-ins or outs on Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day Check-In: \*3 pm - there is NO check-in office, you go straight to the cabin Check-Out: \*10 am - Please follow our checkout guidelines. Fireplaces: \*On During: October 1st - April 1st 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 requires a 4-wheel drive under normal weather conditions, but some do in inclement weather. \*TV & WiFi: We do have TVs 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. FEES: The management company of this cabin charges a $20 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 $20 damage waiver fee by putting down a $350 REFUNDABLE damage deposit. ✨ Peace of Mind & Travel Insurance: I want your stay to be stress-free and enjoyable. Please note that this home has a strict cancellation policy. Because life can be unpredictable, we encourage all guests to purchase travel insurance for extra peace of mind. This way, you can book with confidence knowing you’re protected no matter what comes up. This can be done at www.insuremytrip.com where you can pick the coverage that suits your situation. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - DVD player - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Charcoal grill - Firepit - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Phone ### Location highlights - In the mountains ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Energy-saving switches in guestrooms - Humane treatment of captive wild animals - Local artist showcase - Locally-owned and organised tours and activities - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Outdoor spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33970000/33968700/33968700/fc8947f6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Octagon Suite at the Country Manor Inn Townsend - Hot tub - Air-conditioning - Parking available - Microwave 9.8 Exceptional 86 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-14&endDate=2026-03-15&selected=33968700&PinnedHotelID=33968700&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33500000/33492700/33492683/e826a3e7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Time Well Wasted - A Mountain Woodland Retreat Townsend - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 337 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-14&endDate=2026-03-15&selected=33492683&PinnedHotelID=33492683&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, fireplace, DVD player](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/22000000/21870000/21864700/21864637/925bb804.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### BEAR VIEW Studio cabin, Hot Tub, Pool, Fireplace, located in Timberwinds Townsend - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Free Wi-Fi 9.6 Exceptional 63 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-14&endDate=2026-03-15&selected=21864637&PinnedHotelID=21864637&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Games room](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112260000/112257500/112257445/4d5375b2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### New King Suite with Fireplace & Kitchenette Townsend - Hot tub - Breakfast included - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-14&endDate=2026-03-15&selected=112257445&PinnedHotelID=112257445&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Flat-screen TV, fireplace, DVD player](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/59000000/58950000/58944900/58944860/14475213.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Whispering Pines - Enclosed Hot Tub/Gas Fireplace/Secluded/Sleeps 5 Townsend - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 67 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-14&endDate=2026-03-15&selected=58944860&PinnedHotelID=58944860&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/22000000/21870000/21862800/21862710/6d34aee2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Romance abounds!♥Hot Tub♥Whirlpool Bath♥Comm Pool♥Fire Table Townsend - Hot tub - Kitchen - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning 9.6 Exceptional 68 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-14&endDate=2026-03-15&selected=21862710&PinnedHotelID=21862710&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113680000/113679500/113679421/94487483.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Hideout Cabin at Country Manor Acres Townsend - Hot tub - Air-conditioning - Barbecue grill - Fireplace 9.8 Exceptional 14 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-14&endDate=2026-03-15&selected=113679421&PinnedHotelID=113679421&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/109000000/108750000/108746800/108746782/53facf35.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### One Bedroom with Loft!

The screened in porch is amazing and just so lovely to sit and enjoy the woods. The kitchen was well-equipped, too. I could even make my smoothies! My only complaint would be to maybe add box springs because the beds were pretty hard without it. ##### Loraine L.

It has everything you would need. After a day of hiking it was great to have the hot tub to relax in and the bed was very comfy. My only suggestion would be to update the pictures as the furniture was different than the pictures. If returning to the area would definitely book this cabin again. ##### Tammy R. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Brenda S. 19 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Our stay was mostly great. The location was fairly easy to find with the added directions on their downloadable guide. The place was clean and location was quiet and in a nice convenient area to the park. There were only a few details that I would like to add that made my review a 4 instead of a 5\. There were a couple things in the cabin that were broken or did not work properly such as a chair in the dining area, we weren’t notified of this and went to sit down only to almost fall due to chairs leg being broken. The glass sliding door leading to the back deck was impossible to lock back up once opened as well. The restroom was not supplied with any shampoo, conditioner or body was which I think is standard whenever staying anywhere. It would have also been nice to have aluminum foil or parchment paper for cooking as well as salt since these items are used in very small quantities and would be a waste for guest to buy only to leave most of it behind. I also do not recall reading or being notified of the washer and dryer being located in the back of the property and requiring a key for entry. I did a little looking around and had noticed a window and steps that lead to the back of the property which freaked us out at first. I was able to see a key hanging in the key hanger and put two and two together and figured out this was the location to the washer and dryer. All this could have been avoided if it was mentioned in their instructions. Other than that stay was pleasant. ##### Brenda S.

The cabin is super charming and the inside of the cabin is surprising larger than expected/photos. Kitchen was well supplied with dishes, utensils, and cookware. Great location to nearby Great Smoky Mountains, Cades Cove, Tuckaleechee Caverns and Little Arrow River. The only reminder would be to bring your own firewood and any condiments for grilling steaks/hamburgers/hot dogs. Loved it!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kathryn P. 26 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location and communication Frequent and thorough communication with the property Manager- no concerns there!. The home was clean and well-appointed with the exception of kitchen linens- fortunately I have often experienced this at rental properties and packed some from home. Otherwise the kitchen had more items than I had hoped for. Location is great - our first time in Townsend and loved being close to town but super quiet at the house. The home will need some maintenance work- the floors are very un-level and the shower floor has more flex than you’d expect or want. There may also be some other plumbing type things to be addressed as when using the toilet in the 1/2 bath, it sounds as though water is running under the floor (before flushing). We were overall very happy with our stay! I am always very hesitant to write reviews knowing that I am exceptionally particular which is why I gave a high rating and added comments. ##### Kathryn P.

The beds are comfortable and we loved the hot tub. We did see a bear very close to the porch but it was timid and ran away. ##### Amanda B.

This is my first encounter with VBRO or any of those type things. Very cute comfortable place to be. Loved the porch area! Very well stocked with the essentials, nice clean linens, couldn't have asked for a better stay. My sisters and I had a very nice time! Thank you! ##### Julie R.

It was everything we were looking for. It was about 40 minutes from Gatlinburg. We loved the screened in porch. We used to waze app and it took us right to the property. Hoping to return next year. ##### Lewis D.

However, I feel this place definitely warranted my time to leave one. We stayed for 4 nights at Owl’s Roost. When we walked in, we could smell the cleanliness! This was very refreshing, as we have had some very bad experiences with the “not so” cleanliness of other places. Cleanliness is very important to me! We were amazed at how well kept this place is! It is not the “fanciest” of places (fancy wasn’t expected-it’s out in the woods), but it was just what we needed! It reminded me of my Grandma’s house, which was a very welcomed memory. The screened in, wraparound porch (with hot tub, swing, and mulwas really nice to have. We only went into “town” (Pigeon Forge) one time, during our entire stay, to attend a showing at “The Comedy Barn”… The one show I Absolutely must attend during any stay in the mountains. The rest of our stay we were either at Cades Cove, riding around viewing the beauty of the surroundings, or just relaxing at the cabin. It was an amazing trip! We were SO VERY CLOSE to Cades Cove, which was AMAZING! The cabin was VERY nicely furnished with everything we needed. The only thing I found different from the listing was that the 2nd bedroom, which has a twin now and not a bunk bed. They still had the larger bed in the room with the twin bed, though. This didn’t have any bearing on our visit, as it was just my husband and me. The bed was comfortable and we got some well deserved and much needed rest. They did have a washer and dryer down in the basement (a separate door on the outside, back of the cabin, with steps to it), which we didn’t need to use during our stay. Our goal was to unplug and relax, and THAT IS JUST WHAT WE DID! We very much enjoyed our stay at Owl’s Roost, and plan on returning in the future! I actually looked into coming back this month while we had a few days off from work. Unfortunately, it was already booked.😢 Maybe they will be available the next time we have some time off from work together.👍 Again, we ABSOLUTELY enjoyed our stay at Owl’s Roost!!! ##### Dave R.
