The highlight of Owl’s Roost is the extra-large screened-in porch. It’s an outdoor oasis where you can:
Soak your worries away in the private hot tub.
Enjoy your morning coffee in the classic rockers or the porch swing.
Share a meal at the outdoor dining table while listening to the sounds of the forest.
Just steps away, you’ll find a covered BBQ area with a charcoal grill for the perfect afternoon cookout, and an outdoor bonfire pit made for roasting marshmallows and telling stories under the stars.

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.

    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.

    We love the “Owl’s Roost”! We have stayed there numerous times and are always pleased with our stay. We love the location. It is merely minutes from Cades Cove, which is our favorite place when we come to Tennessee. The upgrades they have made are great. We hope to be back real soon!

    Quiet and Peaceful. Just before Townsend. Not far from food, shopping, the river and the mountains. A great home base to spend time on the river on the quiet side. Make your drive easier by using a car with all wheel drive. As such, we had no issue. Plenty of space to relax.

    We had a wonderful time and the property suited our needs perfectly. Easy access to Smoky Mountain National Park on “the peaceful side” away from the Gatlinburg craziness. Hanging out on the screened in porches was our favorite part.
