This cabin was a fantastic place! Low-key and quiet with everything we needed and more. A great central location for day adventures, but plenty nearby. The owners were fantastic to work with as well. Can't wait to come back!

Amenities poorly maintained. We have stayed here several times. This time we arrived to an HVAC unit that was shut down (for the winter, maybe?). Contacted the host who remotely turned it back on. However, HVAC was not working so host called an HVAC technician who arrived 4 hours later and fixed a broken part. Great, now maybe we can get some air? Yes and no. The thermostat reflected that the inside temp was 75. Cooled the place down to freezing but the thermostat still said 75. Only way to turn off the A/C was to increase the setting to above 75 so that room temp air blew out. Contacted the host who did not respond. The refrigerator was missing 3 shelves and one of the drawers was broken. The freezer was full of ice which had partially thawed and refrozen creating an unusable ice dispenser. The microwave was missing the glass plate turntable. Screens were missing off all the upstairs windows which we wanted to open to try to cool the place down. Remove on main den TV would not connect the the Xfinity box. Worked, just wouldn't operate the box (not a battery issue). Downstairs TV did not have a cable box with it. Gas fireplace would not operate. The list goes on and on and I feel sorry for the next renter if the weather is cold. They will have a grand time trying to regulate the inside temperature. I will say the Weber grill is the nicest grill I've ever used at a VRBO property. And the location to Townsend is very, very convenient.

We love the Painted Door cabins! This is our second time staying at one of them (first one was the green door). The location is perfect -- so close to the park. And the hot tub was a real treat after a long hike in the park.Our only suggestion is about the thermostat. Maybe clearer directions about how to adjust? It was VERY cold in the cabin when we arrived -- uncomfortably cold -- and it took several hours for the cabin to warm up to a comfortable temperature. But overall a wonderful place to stay! We will be back!

We booked for our annual Maryville College best-friends-since-1985 girls’ trip, and the Blue Door Cabin was perfect! The location was so convenient to everything yet felt like we were deep in the woods. We even saw a large bear walk by soon after we arrived! Such a treat! The kitchen was well equipped for cooking dinner, brunch, and snacks, and we enjoyed sitting out on the screened in porch as we dined and visited with each other. The host had left very detailed instructions about everything, so check in/out, WiFi connections, TVs, etc, was very simple. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were very clean. We brought firewood for the firepit and bathing suits for the hot tub, but the cabin was so cozy, we never even ventured out. We had planned to go out for dinner one night, but we were having so much fun there, we decided to just stay in. I highly recommend this peaceful side of the Smokies—and specifically the Blue Door Cabin—for your next family or friend vacation. I hope to be back very soon.

Perfect for family gathering

Our large family rented the Blue Door Cabin as well as the Yellow and Green Door Cabins for a family vacation. They were perfect for our large family with 5 kids under 4! The porch on the Blue Door Cabin is the star of the show with lots of seating areas and a large screened in porch. We loved our stay!
