About this property

The Blue Door Cabin: Charming, All-Wood w/Screened-in Porches - quiet & relaxing

  • Welcome to The Blue Door Cabin in Townsend, TN - "The Peaceful Side of the Smokies" ... Open the door, claim your bed (queen on the first floor, queen & twin trundle in the loft), grab a beverage (complimentary hot coffee available at your arrival), and enjoy on one of the many screened-in porches where you can unwind in tranquility (depending on recent rainfall, you can hear nearby running water too).

    Our charming and cozy, all-wood cabin is perfect for individuals on retreat, couples, friends who are getting together, and small families. The cabin sleeps up to 5 guests - there is a queen bedroom with a door on the first floor and a queen bed with twin trundle in the loft. We also offer 2 bathrooms - with a shower on the 2nd floor and a jacuzzi tub on the first floor.

    Our specialty is your special occasion and/or newcomers to the Smoky Mountains; we are Smoky Mountain Enthusiasts and Townsend locals - so we would be delighted to help you with any of your trip-planning needs!

    The Blue Door Cabin is located within a private, gated community and the drive to our location is mostly flat. We are located just minutes from the entrance to The Great Smoky Mountains, Cades Cove, Tuckaleechee Caverns, River Rats, The Dancing Bear, the Heritage Center, and the Foothills Parkway/The Dragon (to name a few).

    Over the summer, guests can use the Honeysuckle Pool on Happy Hollow Road in Wears Valley for $5 per person, per day. The day pass also includes a fishing permit to catch and release in the private pond.

    The fireplace is available for use October through April.

    Guests of the Blue Door Cabin enjoy our cleanliness, the screened-in porches, the flat and paved roadway to cabin, and REAL hosts (no robots nor management company).

The Blue Door cabin was an incredibly comfortable and quiet home away from home for our visit to Townsend and surrounding areas. Super clean, with everything you need, including washer/dryer. Jacuzzi tub for relief after long days hiking. Upstairs loft a sweet cocoon and porches where you can sit and listen to the birds in the trees and enjoy your morning coffee or evening adult beverage. Thank you so much to the hosts!! We would totally stay here again and will recommend to friends.

We enjoyed a girls weekend to partake in the Great Smokey Mountains half marathon, hosted in Townsend by Vacation Races. The cabin is very comfortable and wonderfully situated to navigate all the location has to offer. It was peaceful, relaxing and we even saw our first bear out the back window! Our hosts were very thoughtful and quick to respond to any messages. We would recommend this stay to anyone. We would like to caution the driveway is fairly steep and there are stairs to enter so that may be an issue for anyone with mobility issues.

Perfect quiet hideaway in the Smokies!

We absolutely loved the privacy this cabin offered, and everything was so well appointed! The close proximity to the National Park and Townsend as well as a short drive to Maryville allowed us to truly enjoy our time.

Weekend Trip

Very nice and clean cabin in a very quiet area. It is decorated very well and owners have thought of a lot of little details that make the place stand out compared to others we have stayed at. We love how close it was to get into the park without going through any traffic.

The quiet side of GSMNP

This was a great location to experience the area without being in the business of some of the more highly developed areas, yet we were still close enough to venture in for the experience when we wanted to. Wonder place for our family.

Amazing weekend getaway!

We had booked this for a quiet weekend getaway. Both me and my husband absolutely enjoyed our time here. The hosts have put in a lot of thought for the decor at this place, which we absolutely adored. It was in a great location, pretty close to the park entrance which was an added advantage.
