Welcome to Isaiah's Cabin, Jack's Cabin, and Elijah's Cabin by AvantStay! These three cabins sit close to one another on the peaceful side of the Smokies, with a combined total of 6 bedrooms sleeping up to 18 guests --- an ideal setup for multigenerational trips, milestone celebrations, or groups who want togetherness with the option to retreat to their own space.
Tucked into the wooded hills above Townsend, Tennessee, this trio of cabins offers the quieter gateway to Great Smoky Mountains National Park --- long ridgeline views, towering trees, and the kind of stillness Gatlinburg traded away years ago. Downtown Townsend is about 7 minutes away for local eats and outfitters, and two park entrances sit roughly 9 minutes from your door, putting tubing on the Little River, scenic drives through Cades Cove, and miles of hiking trails within easy reach. A shared firepit area ties the three properties together --- the natural gathering spot once the sun drops and the stars take over.
Isaiah's Cabin
Warm wood everywhere you look, soaring ceilings, and a wall of windows frame the Tennessee mountains like a living postcard. The open-concept main level is built for easy gathering, with a gas fireplace anchoring the living area, a comfortable sectional, and a flat-screen TV for low-key movie nights. The fully equipped kitchen flows into a dining nook where a table for four pulls up to big picture windows --- breakfast with a side of ridgeline views. Rocking chairs line the covered deck, and a hot tub tucked under the roofline means you can soak through mountain rain, crisp fall evenings, or a full moon over the treetops. Two bedrooms with ensuite baths give everyone their own corner: a main-level king with direct access to the great room, and an upper-level queen that feels like a private hideaway under the pitched wood ceiling. A queen sleeper sofa in the living room rounds out sleeping for up to six, and in-unit laundry keeps trail dirt in check.
Jack's Cabin
This is the cabin that sets the tone the moment you walk in --- vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams, oversized windows pulling in natural light and treetop views, and a living room anchored by a stone fireplace. The full kitchen opens to a dining table for six, making it a natural hub for the group when everyone gathers under one roof. Two bedrooms with ensuite baths give everyone breathing room: a king suite on the main level and a queen upstairs, plus a queen sleeper sofa in the living room for extra guests. Outside is where Jack's really earns its keep --- soak in the hot tub under a canopy of trees, gather around the fire pit as the air cools and the stars come out, and let the quiet of the hillside do its thing. It's the kind of outdoor setup that turns a long weekend into the trip everyone talks about for months.
Elijah's Cabin
At 1,100 square feet, Elijah's leans fully into its mountain-cabin soul --- warm wood walls, soaring ceilings, and expansive windows that pull the surrounding ridgeline right into the living room. The open-concept main level centers on a plush sectional, a classic stone fireplace, and a dining table set for six. The kitchen is fully equipped for everything from a quick breakfast to a full cabin feast, with washer and dryer tucked nearby for longer stays. The main-level king bedroom offers a quiet escape with its own ensuite bath, while upstairs, a cozy queen bedroom with a second ensuite gives couples or families their own private corner. A queen sleeper sofa in the living room opens things up for a third pair --- ideal for grandparents, kids, or close friends tagging along. Outside, rocking chairs line the covered porch, a covered hot tub bubbles away just steps from the door for year-round soaks, and the views stretch out in every direction.
