You won't regret

This cabin is truly accessible for the wheelchair user. It is beautiful, clean, wonderful views, peaceful, comfortable beds, good mountain water, wonderful bathrooms, words cannot decribe our vacation. It is on a mountain ridge so the trip up and down is an adventure and I would definitely recommend your first time to go in daylight. We drove a Buick LeSabre with a wheelchair car top carrier with automatic transmission. We put it in 2nd and 1st gear and had no problems, but we would not attempt this drive in the winter without a 4 wheel drive and we didn't feel comfortable driving the mountains in the dark but we are from Michigan. It is so worth the trip. The drive to Tennessee was beautiful. When you get to the cabin you really do not need to go anywhere else. But if you do there is plenty of variety for the tourist attractions to the mountain sceneries and very wheelchair accommodating. The wheelchair user cannot get into the upper loft but it really wasn't an issue with my family. Townsend is the quieter part of this area and is very wheelchair friendly, has a nice grocery store (IGA) and other attractions if you don't want to get into the traffic of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We ate at the cabin and at several restaurants and never ran into an issue with the wheelchair. We have stayed at other "wheelchair accessible" places and this one was the first one that really was truly a delight. We will go back. Thank you Connie & Paul for this Above the Clouds cabin. P.S. Connie you were right there were no mosquitos they were waiting for us when we got home. We did not run into any bears or racoons during our stay.

Owner's Response: Wears Valley is called the "Jewel of the Smokies" for good reason! And we're glad you spent time in Townsend, the "Peaceful Side of the Smokies." That's our favorite destination too, after the National Park.
