Hot Tub • Fire Pit • Ridge Views | Near Smokies

Welcome to Maggie's Cabin by AvantStay. On the peaceful side of the Smokies, this all-wood hideaway trades Gatlinburg's crowds for long ridge views, quiet porches, and the kind of stillness you actually came for. ♨️ Sunset-facing hot tub with wide Smoky Mountain views 🏔️ Wraparound deck and rocking-chair porches built for slow mornings 🌲 Minutes from Townsend and the Cades Cove park entrance The space On the quiet side of the Smokies, where the crowds of Gatlinburg give way to tree lines and long mountain views, Maggie's Cabin by AvantStay sits a little apart from it all. It's an all-wood retreat built for slowing down — porches made for morning coffee, a wraparound deck that pulls everyone outside, and windows that bring the ridgeline right into the room. The main level opens up around a stacked-stone fireplace and a dining table set for six, with the living space, kitchen, and views all flowing together. Cook a proper breakfast in the full kitchen, then carry your coffee out to the rocking chairs and watch the morning mist lift off the mountains. Downstairs, a king suite gives the main level its own retreat; upstairs, a queen suite does the same, and each comes with a private ensuite bath. A queen sleeper sofa in the living room rounds things out for up to six, so there's room for the kids or an extra couple without anyone feeling on top of each other. Warm wood runs through every room, and a washer/dryer keeps the longer stays easy. Outside is where the cabin really earns its keep. The hot tub is angled straight at the sunset, so evenings tend to end the same way — everyone out on the deck, the sky going pink behind the ridges, nothing on the soundtrack but wind in the trees. Townsend proper, with its local diners and outfitters, is a short drive down the mountain, and the Townsend entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park — your gateway to Cades Cove and the Little River corridor — is close enough to make an early start easy. It's the kind of place that feels genuinely tucked away without ever feeling far from anything. AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay.

Townsend, Tennessee — known as "The Peaceful Side of the Smokies" — is a quieter, nature-forward alternative to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.
