The ''Hideaway'' really is the perfect hideaway in the Smokies. Townsend, known as the ''Peaceful Side of the Smokies'' is at the Cades Cove entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and this studio cabin fits the needs of active people who love the fishing, hiking, biking, tubing and myriad other activities the area offers. Not big; but not a big price tag. City water! A great place for your permanent piece of the Smokies or just the perfect hideaway.
