Higher Ground

Overall state was pleasant the driveway is just very too steep

Bailey and Cathy quick to respond to issues. Problem with Comcast. Bailey called and had the issue resolved with Comcast. Guest should bring extra paper towels and toilet paper. Also bring extra blankets if you want them. I didn't see any in the cabin. Also spices, condiments. Other cabins I have stayed in have salt, pepper and sugar. Very little in this cabin. Quiet area. Driveway is steep. I have a RAV4 4x4 Hybrid 4 cylinder. I was able to make it up the driveway. I had my doubts, but we made it! I would stay in this cabin again. Thank you Bailey and Cathy for allowing us to stay in your cabin.

This was a great place to stay! Very clean and comfortable, with everything that we needed!

Beautiful cabin with very comfortable sofa and chairs. Spotlessly clean with everything you could possibly need in kitchen and bathrooms. Easy access to everything. We truly enjoyed our stay.

The cabin was exactly as advertised! The front porch entrance was great. It was only a small step up onto the porch from the front door. This was especially great since my mother who is a little older had no issues coming and going. The cabin was clean and very inviting. The kitchen was well stocked with all the pots and pans, plates and silverware needed for cooking. The dishwasher is a plus! The living room area is spacious enough and very comfy. The front porch was great to sit on early in the mornings. We enjoyed watching the many chipmunks and squirrels busy at work. The bedroom downstairs was very accommodating for my mother who didn’t want to climb stairs. She was able to have her own bedroom with a large king size bed. The downstairs also had a nice bathroom with a tub and shower combo. The upstairs bedroom was a nice size with a large king size bed. The upstairs bathroom had a VERY large jet tub and a nice walk in shower. The loft area had a nice entertainment area with an air hockey table and checkerboard table. There was also a washer and dryer in the downstairs bathroom nicely hidden. Overall, I have nothing but good things to say. It was very clean and that is always most important to me. It was very convenient to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge but far enough away from the hustle and bustle to be able to enjoy the peaceful mountain appeal. We most definitely want to come back and stay again.

Great location. Driveway is steep you need 4 wd. If you like bears they visot daily. Staff is awesome. Cabin was well equipped Good times

Higher Ground was the perfect cabin for me and my dad to stay while visiting Cade's Cove in the Smoky Mountain National Park. With the porch being level with the driveway (one short step up), it made carrying our things in and out less strenuous. While this cabin does have a steep cement driveway, we had no trouble with it in an SUV. The king beds were comfortable, the living room had two functioning comfortable recliners that we enjoyed, and the cabin had all the amenities we needed. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. The large, covered deck on the back is perfect to sit and relax your cares away. Townsend is a few minutes' drive with an IGA grocery store, gas station and other places of interest such as The Chocolate Bar (candy shop) and several restaurants. My family has stayed in or near Townsend for decades and will continue to visit as often as we can. The owners were super good about communication which is a plus. We will definitely try to stay at Higher Ground again.

The cabin was great! We found it to be clean and comfortable. We did not spend alot of time at the cabin as we were in the area to help with a destination wedding. The downstairs bed was really comfortable, which was very important to us. (We have had some bad experiences with beds in some of the VRBO homes we have rented). This one did NOT disappoint. I can't say what the bed upstairs was like as we did not use that bedroom. The kitchen was fairly well stocked. If you plan to do most of your own cooking, you may want to bring a favorite pan or 2. For this trip it was not a huge issue as we did not do any cooking. We only heated breakfast food we brought already prepared. We did not find any of the hidden dollars, good luck to the next visitor...... nor did we see any of the friendly bears others wrote about in the guest book. I would definitely stay at this little piece of heaven in the mountains again.

Very comfortable cabin, accommodating all you need to makes you feel right at home. Relaxing & Peaceful outdoor atmosphere . Would love to stay at this cabin again.

Myself, my husband, my sister and brother-in-law really enjoyed our stay at Higher Ground. It was clean and had everything we needed to be comfortable. We spent most of our time there outside and loved the porch swing. Would definitely stay here again.

This was a great place to stay! Very clean and comfortable, with everything that we needed!

The cabin was just as described. It was in a great location, especially for going to Cades Cove. Very clean and in a quite location. Provided a great place for a quick family trip.

Very nice and clean. Located near where we wanted to be. Excellent communication from property manager. As former owners of vacation rental properties, mountain and beach, we disagree with the requested additional tipping for cleaning. We have already paid for that service. If you have a great cleaning team, then the owners and or property managers should give out bonuses as appropriate.

Clean,well maintained,relaxing,and quiet.

Absolutely beautiful property. Beautiful location. Comfortable and clean.

Higher Ground was a wonderfully clean, spacious cabin.

upon arrival the cabin was very pretty, quite and peaceful. The inside of the cabin had the feeling of home - very inviting and comfortable easy to get settled in. Although we did have a few things that need to be fixed upon arrival like the battery replaced for the smoke detector, and hair still in the bathtub on the main floor from the previous tenants. I would like to give a big shoutout to ( Danny & Letha ) for coming an replacing the battery, they was very nice and ask if there was anything else . Other than a few miner things the cabin was great I will be recommending this cabin to other friends and family. We had a great time visiting the Smokies Mountains, Cades Cove, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.

There is only one short step up onto the porch, which worked great for my elderly Dad. This was our 2nd time staying and we love everything about it. Spacious, quiet, all the amenities like home, and close to Cade's Cove. Will definitely stay again!

House was very nice...very peaceful setting, bed was a bit stiff for our liking. There was a Jeep Invasion going on which caused traffic issues (no fault of hosts). Perfect place to stay if you are attending. Would definitely stay again, just different weekend. I hear the annual Rod Run (car show) can be similar in traffic issues.

Perfect cabin for two couples. Beautiful Christmas decorations. Couldn’t ask for anything better.

The property was like described. Very clean and away from the hustle and bustle. A tree had fallen and took down cable lines, so we didn’t have tv or internet.

Absolutely beautiful property. Beautiful location. Comfortable and clean.

Owners were easy to deal with. Had some noise issues with neighbors. But the owners can’t control that.

I love the location and the cabin!

We had a GREAT time! The cabin was clean, welcoming and we felt at home while we were there. It is a great location to all the local sites (we were there for hiking.) I would highly recommend this cabin to anyone who would like to visit the area. A plus - the neighbors were very nice also.

Wonderful stay. Close to park & just far enough away from the touristy areas.

We really enjoyed our stay at Higher Ground Cabin for our 16th Anniversary. The location was awesome. Easy to get to the places that we enjoyed.

This cabin was very nice and in a great location. It was about a 30 minute drive to Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg.

Great location. Driveway is steep you need 4 wd. If you like bears they visot daily. Staff is awesome. Cabin was well equipped Good times

Great cabin within driving distance of all major attractions. No noisy neighbors or high traffic

Very impressive, met all our needs , just outside of pigeon forge a short drive into town. Very quiet and relaxing. Would differently book again
