Our Story

My name is Mike Chandler. My family began vacationing to the Smoky Mountains when I was a child. Every year we stayed somewhere new, that is, until we discovered Townsend. One year, while driving from Chattanooga to Pigeon Forge, we drove through Townsend, and fell in love with the quaintness combined with all it had to offer. Townsend seemed close enough to everything, and yet far enough to feel like we were really “getting away” during vacation. That was the year we first saw our cabin.

We discovered the cabin and others nearby, which offered just what we wanted: (1) a rustic and remote feel, (2) riverfront property, (3) plenty of space, and (4) nearby restaurants, things to do, and essentials.

Townsend had all of this, and the cabins were like heaven to us! So we began coming back every single year, and as our family grew, more people came with us. My sister’s family grew to three children, and each year they brought their five. I eventually married Melanie and she began coming with us.

We made the cabin a yearly summer tradition until September 2007 when my mother passed away after a three-year fight with cancer. Before she passed away we had one more vacation in June, and we will forever cherish that last vacation with mom at the cabin. Her passing made returning to the cabin too painful, however, and we didn’t return for nine years…
