Nestled in the serene landscape of Townsend, Tennessee, “The Peaceful Side of the Smokies,” Pioneer Cabins and Guest Farm offers an idyllic retreat just moments from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the historic Cades Cove. Our location at the base of Little Mountain provides stunning mountain views, yet we’re conveniently located just a half-mile from the main road, offering both seclusion and accessibility. The Little River, renowned for trout fishing and summer recreation like swimming and tubing, adds to the charm of Townsend and is easily accessible from our cabins.
Pioneer Cabins provides five unique, home-style cabins thoughtfully spread across our 12-acre wooded farm. More than just cabin rentals, we offer an immersive experience with organic gardens bursting with award-winning produce, and a petting farm where you can meet our friendly donkey and goats. For those seeking wellness, enjoy our outdoor fitness center and explore peaceful walking trails within our forest. Open year-round, Pioneer Cabins is perfect for every season, including enriching farm-based learning experiences for homeschooling families during the quieter months.
Each of our pioneer cabins is designed to offer a distinctive experience. From intimate, secluded honeymoon cabins perfect for romantic getaways to spacious, handicap-accessible family cabins, we cater to diverse needs and preferences. Unlike impersonal hotels, our cabins provide the comfort and privacy of home, complete with porches featuring rocking chairs, cozy fireplaces, and private decks equipped with picnic tables and BBQ grills – ideal for enjoying meals and embracing social distancing. Modern amenities include Smart TVs with Blu-Ray players and high-speed internet in every cabin.
