Prices and dates checked November 12, 2026, from the company listings on our Townsend board and Walland board.

Townsend is the Cades Cove side of the park. Walland is the US-321 stretch between Maryville and Townsend, where the Foothills Parkway comes in. People call this the quiet side because it sits off the Pigeon Forge Parkway.

We do not guess rates. Every number below is a nightly price we copied from a rental company’s own cabin page, for a stay that still had a future check-in on November 12, 2026. If that page and this post disagree later, the company page wins.

How to read a quiet-side night

Company sites quote a nightly rate for a specific stay length. Cleaning fees, tax, and hot-tub or pet fees often sit on the booking form, not on the night we copied. A two-night stay at one price can still cost more than a three-night stay after those extras.

November midweek leftovers are usually cheaper than Friday and Saturday. We do not have a separate weekend-only table. The dates on each card are the dates that price belongs to.

We also do not turn a town name into an amenity. If you need a hot tub or a dog, use the lists that only include cabins whose source listing printed that detail: Townsend hot tub deals and pet-friendly Townsend deals.

What November is like on the ground

Townsend sits at the west entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Cades Cove is the usual drive from here. Walland is about 10 to 15 minutes closer to Maryville on US-321. The Foothills Parkway overlooks start on that stretch. The park does not charge an entrance fee. Parking rules are on the National Park Service site.

Thanksgiving 2026 is Thursday, November 26. That week is its own market. We wrote a separate note about the open nights we can actually see around that holiday: Thanksgiving-week cabin deals we can verify. If you can shift off that week, the first three weeks of November are where most of the lower nights sit on this check.

What this list is not

It is not every cabin in Townsend or Walland. It is the named cabins whose companies published open dates we could copy, with a discounted night when the listing printed one. Airbnb and VRBO have their own inventories. A cabin that is full, or that never published a special, will not appear.

It is not a promise that $89 will still be there tomorrow. These companies change calendars. We rebuild the board from their pages. The Townsend deal page is the live version of this post.

Confirm the night, the total, and the house rules on the company listing before you book. CabinOwl does not take payment for stays.
