Simple Pleasures in the Great Smoky Mountains !

Simple Pleasures is a lovely, comfortable cabin in a beautiful location. I appreciated the well-equipped kitchen and comfortable beds and bedding! It's in a quiet location but close to all the activities of the area. On a more personal note, I have loved the novel Christy since I was a child, so seeing the street names in the area always made me smile. Great communication with the owner and easy check-in. We hope to return!

Very clean. TV did not work after thunderstorm.

Amazing stay at this cabin! Property was very clean and host was very responsive with a couple questions we had. Highly recommend!

It was a lovely and quiet getaway for us, and near to sites and activities

The cabin is lovely. We enjoyed our stay. It would be 5 stars if the lighting is better. But overall, we love the cabin and will definitely rebook it again if come back.

Wonderful place to stay in the Smokies!!!

Beautiful cabin in the woods. Close to GSMNP. Warm and quiet. The host was very responsive. Recommended.

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.

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!

Prompt reply from host at check in. Very clean and comfortable home with everything needed for the week. Clear and minimal checkout procedures. Quiet location in a very nice community.

Was an amazing stay. Cabin very clean everything stocked just as listed. Had to contact property owner to ask simple question (our showers operate different) and they got back to us so fast! Would highly recommend for anyone who wants a quiet family get away in a cute cozy cabin

The beds were not comfortable at all especially the bed downstairs. The cabin needs better lighting. The small lamps on nightstands were not enough light for reading. Water pressure in showers was great.

Very comfortable and easy to access. The grandkids loved the loft.

The place was clean and very inviting. Located on a quiet road was very refreshing from the go of every day life. The host was very responsive, informative and polite.

Excellent stay, great location in townsend, beautiful yet still close to town and the smokies.

Super clean and very cozy cabin in a quiet area of Townsend. Loved having a screened in porch and the recliners were great for relaxing after a day of hiking.

It was a great place, a lot of fun roads to ride Your motorcycle on. Place was very clean and easy to get there.

Simple Pleasures was perfect for our family of 4, situated in a quiet gated community in peaceful Townsend. We especially enjoyed eating breakfast and dinner out in the screened in porch while hearing many birds and watching squirrels eating in the treetops. We even had two sightings of a black bear and one sighting of a black coyote, all leisurely walking by the cabin at dusk. The kitchen and bathroom had the essentials to get started with our stay, supplemented with our own supply of dish soap and toilet paper. We enjoyed being close to the Smoky National Park, accessing Cades Cove and hiking Abrams Falls and the Middle Prong Trail from the Tremont area. We also enjoyed the local cavern tour and riding horses for an hour at the Davy Crockett Riding Stables. The only extensive driving we did was to drive to Hartford to white water raft through Smoky Mountain Outdoors, which was well worth the drive and highly organized upon our arrival. On the way home from Hartford, we passed through Gatlinburg and enjoyed our time at the Ripley's Aquarium. Lastly, we enjoyed the local shops in Townsend and stopping at the Bear Restoration Center and learning about efforts to help injured or non-thriving bears in the area. We hope to make it back and again stay in Townsend and at this cabin or at the very least, in the Laurel Valley Golf Community.

Great time with the Family

Super clean!

Simple Pleasures is a lovely cabin! We really enjoyed our stay here. The back porch/deck area is nice, the kitchen is well-stocked, and the overall layout of the cabin worked well for our family. The road leading to the cabin is fully paved and wide enough, which is sometimes an issue with mountain cabins. Some parts of the road are quite steep, which might make winter travel difficult, but overall, it is a wonderful cabin and we would definitely recommend it.

The cabin was as great as advertised

Simple Pleasures checked all the boxes for my family while visiting the Smokys. A very well-equipped cabin that appeared very new to us. Didn't look like the stove had ever been used! Easy in and out and very accessible to Townsend, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Cades Cove. A great stopping place when visiting the Smokys.

A great cabin in a perfect location. Close enough to everything yet feels secluded. You are in the mountains for sure.

Cabin is very spacious and well equipped for everything you need.

Simple Pleasures was the perfect place for a family getaway. We were in town for a wedding with 2 adult children. Everyone had their own space and 2 bathrooms definitely helped the process of getting everyone ready on time! The cabin was conveniently located near shops, eateries, and the wedding venue. The host was very communicative so we felt well taken care of. Highly recommend!

We had plenty of room and everything was clean. Property manager was amazing

Our cabin was wonderful and so are the hosts. It happened to be unusally cold for that time of year and when we walked in, it was so nice and warm! Thank you for thinking ahead for us. Not all my family was as lucky!! The cabin was beautiful, cozy and clean. We overly enjoyed the fireplace and the furniture was very comfortable. I would highly recommend to anyone needing a place to stay!!Thank you for a wonderful place to stay!Georgiana

Absolutely beautiful cabin and loved the area. Townsend is a very quiet town and would recommend anyone to stay here vs. pigeon forge or gatlinburg.

We had a wonderful stay at Simple Pleasures! The host, Jo, was amazing! She had thought of everything we would need and was very responsive to any questions we had while staying in the cabin. The cabin was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The cabin was decorated with a Christmas tree and the cutest Christmas decor. It was great! Jo is so thoughtful! We had a great stay and plan on coming back again when it is warmer and we can enjoy the outdoor screened in porch.

This cabin is nestled in the woods within a gated community which made it feel more private and secure. Everything was very clean, the kitchen has great appliances and had everything we needed. This cabin does not offer a hot tub, pool table, gaming machines, etc. which was perfect for us. It allowed us to spend time together enjoying the screened porch and absorbing the beauty of nature without all the distractions. My only issue was that the queen size bed on the main floor was squeaky. I will definitely rent this cabin again!

We enjoyed our stay. Motorcycle friendly which is a huge plus for a mountain home.
