Jo was an amazing host! The cabin was very welcoming and cozy. It was very clean and provided plenty of space to relax and enjoy our trip. The beds and couches were extremely comfortable. The city of Townsend had plenty to offer to keep us from going to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We are looking forward to staying here again next year!

We loved the cabin. Enough room for me and my husband and my baby girl and my son in law and my 2 grandbabies.kitchen was nice with enough room for both me and my daughter to be in there. We loved the fireplace we used it when it was a cold outside with out turning the heat up. We got to rest and enjoy the family time. Still close enough to all the activities and restaurants. We did try Jimbob in Townsend which was good.

Great Cabin! Great Location!!

Our family really enjoyed our stay at Simple Pleasures cabin. The cabin was exactly as described and very clean. Check in was easy too. The location was perfect for easy access to the Smoky Mountain National Park for site seeing and hiking, while also not too far of a drive to Pigeon Forge.
