Welcome to your own Smoky Mountain retreat!
Owl’s Hoot Chalet is a contemporary western cedar home with an all-glass prow front overlooking a 5-acre meadow and Rich Mountain. The main level offers a spacious, open kitchen/living/dining room combination with cathedral ceiling, wood-burning fireplace, and massive windows. Create simple snacks or fabulous family feasts in the well-equipped, thoughtfully stocked kitchen, remodeled in spring 2022 with custom blue cabinets and premium quartz countertops. The new (2023) smoky blue leather sofa and loveseat recline for your ultimate comfort while watching the LED smart TV or enjoying a fire. Two charming bedrooms, a full bath with skylight, and washer/dryer closet round out the main level.
Upstairs, the open-loft master bedroom features a queen sleigh bed, unique circa-1800s sleigh daybed, antique desk, and new decor (2023). A luxurious, fully remodeled (2023) garden bath is adjacent, with a 2-person, 8-jet whirlpool spa; walk-in shower; new vanity and toilet; skylight and relaxing decor. The spacious closet holds a dresser, twin rollaway bed, portacrib, and pack ‘n play.
Owl’s Hoot is a comfortable, well-appointed home…not another cookie-cutter, look-alike, strip-down rental unit with black bear décor made in China. It is tastefully decorated with local works of art, antiques, comfortable furnishings, and thoughtful amenities for the discerning traveler. Our guests are surprised to find the many extras that make Owl’s Hoot truly feel like a home away from home.
The open concept dining/living area offers plenty of comfortable seating, dining table with 8 seats, a separate game table with 4 chairs, and near-panoramic views.
Let your pets and kids roam on the gated wraparound deck. Enjoy a picnic or glass of wine in the private pavilion. Listen for the owls calling to and fro late at night. Bask in the serenity of the 5-acre meadow, beside a small creek. Walk your dog in a separate 1-acre meadow/dog run adjacent to the driveway. This natural area is the ideal playground for children and pets!

Whether we are hiking or doing photography work in the GSMNP, we always stay on the Townsend side. Our group of eight stayed at this beautiful property earlier this month. Everyone enjoyed the comfortable accommodations, spacious acreage and the abundance of wildlife. This property is only a short drive from Cades Cove where you have access to an abundace of wildlife for your viewing pleasure or photography work. There is also access to many trails on this side of the park. Myra and Rob have provided a very nice place to stay while visiting the Smokies and are very gracious host. We plan on booking one of their properties again in the future.
We had a wonderful stay at Owls Hoot Chalet! We loved everything about it… Beautiful view & landscaping, big enclosed porches, fully furnished, big place for our 4-legged kid to play & throw a frisbee… creek & field. Rob & Myra have a great place for families & friends to stay in beautiful Townsend TN. It’s close the town with lots to do around there. Thanks for an awesome place to rent, it felt like home! We are already booked up for next year!! This place is a must!!
Owl’s Hoot is a beautiful chalet, lovingly cared for and shared by gracious owners. In a wonderful location,whether you want to enjoy the serenity of the chalet and the wrap around deck overlooking a lovely meadow or the many attractions, conveniently located close by, Owl’s Hoot is the “Perfect Place”. Owl’s Hoot is truly a home away from home, not just a rental. Perfect for everyone, young, old and your furry friend as well!
Owl’s Hoot is a beautiful place to rest and relax. Convenient to shopping, restaurants and Cade’s Cove. We look be forward to visiting again.
This is the most perfect place in the TN mountains. Clean, convenient, spacious and private. We always love staying here. Never disappointed.
We love Owl's Hoot more each time we visit. We appreciate you sharing your space to give us time to breathe. Relaxing with coffee on the deck or walking the meadow watching the smoke rise gives us just what we need to restore ourselves. Congratulations on 45 years! We look forward to sharing many more!
We LOVED everything about this home. The location is perfect! Peaceful setting to clear your mind and recharge with the family. I can’t wait to return!
My family has stayed twice at Owl's Hoot. We loved so many parts of your home and the area that we just had to go back for a second trip. We even brought our family from Ireland the second time and they were blown away by the cabin and all the Smokies have to offer. Can't wait to return, your recent update looks great!
