Welcome to Elijah's Cabin, Isaiah's Cabin, Jack's Cabin & Sónyah's Cabin by AvantStay! These four cabins sit close to each other in the wooded hills above Townsend, with a combined total of 8 bedrooms, sleeping up to 24 guests — an ideal option for multi-generational trips, milestone celebrations, or groups who want everyone together without being on top of each other. Tucked into the ridgelines on the quiet side of the Smokies, this buyout trades the crowds of Gatlinburg for something slower and greener. Downtown Townsend is about 7 minutes away, and two Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrances sit just 9 minutes from your door — close enough for spontaneous hikes, far enough to feel like you've truly gotten away. Each cabin comes with its own hot tub and covered deck, and a shared firepit area gives the group a natural gathering spot for s'mores, late-night conversation, and stargazing once the evening rolls in. Warm wood interiors, soaring ceilings, and wall-to-wall windows are the common thread across all four — every cabin frames the Tennessee mountains like a living postcard. Elijah's Cabin Elijah's leans fully into its mountain-cabin soul across 1,100 square feet of warm wood walls, vaulted ceilings, and expansive windows that pull the 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, with a fully equipped kitchen and in-unit washer/dryer just off to the side. 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 rounds things out to sleep six. Rocking chairs line the covered porch, and a covered hot tub bubbles away just steps from the door for year-round soaks. Isaiah's Cabin Isaiah's brings the same warm wood interiors and soaring ceilings, with a wall of windows framing long mountain views. A gas fireplace anchors the open-concept main level, paired with a comfortable sectional and 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. Two bedrooms each have their own ensuite bath: a king on the main level with direct access to the great room, and a queen upstairs that feels like a private hideaway under the pitched wood ceiling. A queen sleeper sofa accommodates two more, and in-unit laundry keeps trail dirt in check. The covered deck holds rocking chairs and a hot tub tucked under the roofline — perfect for soaking through mountain rain, crisp fall evenings, or a full moon over the treetops. Jack's Cabin Jack's sits on its own slice of wooded hillside, with vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, and oversized windows pulling in natural light and treetop views. The open-concept main level centers on a stone fireplace and a full kitchen with a dining table that seats six — a comfortable, lived-in space that feels genuinely welcoming. Two bedrooms each come with their own ensuite bath: a king suite on the main level and a queen upstairs, plus a queen sleeper sofa in the living room for extra guests. Outside, the hot tub sits under a canopy of trees, and a private fire pit gives the cabin its own gathering spot as the air cools and the stars come out. Sónyah's Cabin Sónyah's wraps two queen bedrooms (each with its own ensuite bath) across separate levels for added privacy, plus a queen sleeper sofa in the living room for up to six guests total. The open-concept main level is anchored by a stone fireplace and a dining table for six, with extensive windows pulling the mountains inside. When the sun starts to dip, the covered deck becomes the best seat in the house — rocking chairs line up along the railing for morning coffee with a valley view, and the hot tub sits just off to the side for soaking under a sky full of stars. A full kitchen, washer/dryer, and everyday essentials make longer stays feel effortless. AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay.
