We loved our return trip to this cabin, so nice. Views of Laurel Valley are hard to beat. Grounds are nice - good-sized level parking off-street. Newer well-built 3 level deck with hot tub just add to the fantastic views. Plenty of seating inside and the internet/TV's worked great. Kitchen stocked with utensils. Plenty of Bed pillows. Hope to return again!

We picked this spot because our first trip to the Smokey’s was on the Pigeon Forge side which has more crowds. The Townsend side has plenty to offer but way more enjoyable and quiet. Faster access to Cades and Foothills Pkwy. The cabin was as described in the reviews and we enjoyed our stay. Views from the deck and family room were spectacular. Plenty of recliners to kick back and relax. Gas grill was nice. If you stay here more than a few nights bring extra TP and dishwasher pellets since you only get 2 rolls and 2 pellets. Also bring ice - the filtered water tap off to side of sink tasted good but ice had an off taste. If you are a foodie definitely make reservations at the Dancing Bear Bistro - amazing. Explored the local caverns. Drove the Tail of the Dragon- saw Fontana dam. Finally got to see the view Clingmans Dome after many failed attempts. A wonderful experience.

We loved our stay at McDaniels Misty Blue cabin home. After 4 great days in Nashville at the CMA FEST, this location was a welcome retreat close to everything in the Smoky Mountains National Park. The mountain views from the upper deck with hot tub were wonderful. Parking was convenient and the separation between us and neighboring cabins was plenty for lots of privacy. With a King bed and full bath on each level, it was set up perfectly for 2 couples. The cabin was clean and spacious and central AC was nice to have on the hot days. Loved sleeping at night - you could hear a pin drop. We also saw some wildlife while there. It was close to town for dinner or groceries and instructions from the property manager for getting through the gate after hours were clear. The home was equipped with all appliances and everything you'd have at your own home. We would definitely return.

This was our 2nd stay at Misty Blue and already planning for next year. The grass was a little high but not a problem at all for us. I understand with the daily showers we had. No complaints there either. The view is beyond explanation and the hot tub was nice. Misty Blue holds all the accommodations we need for a comfortable and relaxing stay.

The cabin was perfect! We had a short stay, but it met all our needs. It had a beautiful view, a comfy bed, and a great hot tub to relax in each evening. I love the comfy leather chairs facing the picture window, it was my favorite place to drink morning coffee. The house was just cozy, and the host was so thoughtful! We enjoyed Cades Cove, hiking, and a few local breweries. The cabin was a great location to everything we wanted to explore. We finally saw one bear on our last day while taking an early morning walk around the neighborhood. We will definitely be back to explore more of the area!

This is a great mountain property, clean and well furnished. The Vrbo listing accurately describes the property. It is located in Townsend and. Lose to the features of Townsend we love: the peaceful side of the Smokies, near the park, away from the hassles of the other side of the Smokies. We will return.

The cabin was clean, had everything we’d need to make our stay feel like home. I actually wish we had spent more time enjoying the property, but the surrounding area was great too. We will definitely be back to Misty Blue or one of Jo’s other properties as soon as we can. I only wish it was a little shorter drive.

The view was amazing. We enjoyed our stay here. We like the quieter side of the Smokey mountains and this place gave us just that. We spent time just sitting on the deck and enjoying the weather and view. The kitchen was stocked with cookware to enjoy meals at the cabin. The only complaints we have is the lighting in the bathroom is very dim and lack of a sharp kitchen knife. Other than that it was perfect. Would recommend this cabin. We would definitely stay here again .

We had a wonderful time at McDaniel's Misty Blue. OMGosh, the pictures of the views really don't do it justice. It is about as close to heaven as a person could be. We love the Smoky Mountains and have stayed in North Carolina too. I was a little concerned about visiting bears from the previous couple, but we didn't actually have any. The cabin was super cozy, and the bed very comfortable. The only issue I had was that the bathroom is very dim. I had to go from the bathroom to bedroom to get ready. We would definitely go back, and have already told our friends about it!

My husband and I celebrated our honeymoon in the Smokies and the Misty Blue cabin was the icing on the wedding cake. The cabin had everything we needed for a quiet, relaxing vacation. The location was easy to get to, the neighborhood was exceptionally quiet (with bear sightings!), and the views from the deck and living room are incredible. The cabin was clean, the main bed comfy, and the kitchen was equipped enough to do a bit of cooking while we were there. Fabulous place to stay and we will definitely return.

Was a beautful cabin with a beautiful view with tons of wildlife to see. Bears, more bears, more bears, two non venimous snakes, turkeys, and more. The owner of the cabin was nearby for any needs that came up and took care of them immediately. If I could find anything to legitemately call for with a concern about, it was fixed immediately. I cannot say enough about how awesome they were here. Had to swap some pillows between rooms to get the right feel between us, but we figured that out after the first night. They were all harder in one room and soft in another. Our friends liked hard and we liked soft and we found out after night 1 we had what the others wanted, so if you get in that situation just check the other room. Thank you for the wonderful cabin to stay in for the week. BTW if visiting the cabin. do not listen to WAZE and take the directions it gives to go up the dirt road. Pass it and go up Laurel Valley I believe it is. Laurel something. . I learned after not one but two times :) Also leaving the complex do not listen to waze your first time, but follow the signs to the exit. Waze will take you to a dead end gate. Hope this helps and do not hesitate renting this cabin. It is amazing.

The view was amazing. We enjoyed our stay here. We like the quieter side of the Smokey mountains and this place gave us just that. We spent time just sitting on the deck and enjoying the weather and view. The kitchen was stocked with cookware to enjoy meals at the cabin. The only complaints we have is the lighting in the bathroom is very dim and lack of a sharp kitchen knife. Other than that it was perfect. Would recommend this cabin. We would definitely stay here again .

We picked this spot because our first trip to the Smokey’s was on the Pigeon Forge side which has more crowds. The Townsend side has plenty to offer but way more enjoyable and quiet. Faster access to Cades and Foothills Pkwy. The cabin was as described in the reviews and we enjoyed our stay. Views from the deck and family room were spectacular. Plenty of recliners to kick back and relax. Gas grill was nice. If you stay here more than a few nights bring extra TP and dishwasher pellets since you only get 2 rolls and 2 pellets. Also bring ice - the filtered water tap off to side of sink tasted good but ice had an off taste. If you are a foodie definitely make reservations at the Dancing Bear Bistro - amazing. Explored the local caverns. Drove the Tail of the Dragon- saw Fontana dam. Finally got to see the view Clingmans Dome after many failed attempts. A wonderful experience.

Amazing views from the secluded deck. Truly exceeded our expectations with location, privacy and amenities. Beautiful sunsets and star gazing from the deck. Easy access to the Mts for hiking and sightseeing.

The cabin was perfect! We had a short stay, but it met all our needs. It had a beautiful view, a comfy bed, and a great hot tub to relax in each evening. I love the comfy leather chairs facing the picture window, it was my favorite place to drink morning coffee. The house was just cozy, and the host was so thoughtful! We enjoyed Cades Cove, hiking, and a few local breweries. The cabin was a great location to everything we wanted to explore. We finally saw one bear on our last day while taking an early morning walk around the neighborhood. We will definitely be back to explore more of the area!

The neighborhood was absolutely beautiful and the cabin had amazing views. The drive up to the cabin was fairly easy especially if you do it the 1st time during the day. We saw turkeys but unfortunately didnt see any bears.

We were most excited about the view from the deck and from inside the house. Nicely furnished and appointed and private.
