The Happy Shack was just perfect for our mountain trip! Will venture again to Cove Mountain.

We have stayed with cove mountain for many years and all our experiences have been great

The tiny home was exactly what we needed. More than enough space for my family of 4. Interactions with the staff was always professional, friendly. If you stay more than a few days, just be prepared to wash your towels in the washer/dryer in the tiny home. Breakfast vouchers for Reagan’s came in handy, we upgraded our voucher to include the buffet at the restaurant. We would definitely stay again.

Cute and clean tiny home with a beautiful view. Almost needed to cancel our reservation due to unforeseen circumstances and that was NOT an option, but we were able to rearrange our stay time and that was nice. I don’t think they have a pool or any amenities there. No bath house for the campers. That didn’t affect us. Would stay again

This was our second year, staying in a tiny home with Cove Mountain. We stayed in the happy shack. There is so much decor all over the place. You’re not supposed to move the decor, but you can’t even eat at the table because there was a birdhouse in a big radio on it. There are two separate areas on the wall with four hooks on each one, but they have decor on every single hook. You cannot even hang your personal items on it. My husband kept hitting his head on this wall shelf while getting out of bed the amount of decor is overwhelming. We had a problem with a wasp infestation the first day we arrived. We picked up 17 dead ones and killed multiple others . The office sent an exterminator who came and sprayed, but the wasps must have been in the ceiling because every time we came back for the end of the day we had to kill wasps this went on for eight days out of the nine that we were there. The owner was willing to work with us. If we found someplace else to stay, he would refund us, but we didn’t have a lot of extra funds so we decided to stay. The owner said he was completely full and have nowhere to move us. I was disappointed that the owner never called back to inquire how things were going or if the wasps were still a problem. After the first few nights, many people at the other tiny homes had left the area, and they certainly could’ve moved us. The futon is not very comfortable, and the retro stools are too small and hurt your legs. The outside metal chairs we could only sit on in the evening as they were too hot with the sun beating on them. The fans were full of dust just like they were last year even though I called to ask about it ahead of time. The cleaning service is not that great so my suggestion is to bring your own cleaning supplies. Overall, we love this area and love the pool and the pancake breakfast offered. We realize things happen and we would definitely stay here again. The peace and quiet away from all the hustle an

It was a really cute place and had everything you would need. Will stay again

Cute and cozy. Lamar was awesome at check in. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely awesome stay. The experience was great and the cabin was excellent for our needs. The views were amazing from the cabin and we enjoyed how quite the community was during our stay.

overall it was wonderful. no issues only that we couldn't get the central air to change over from cool to heat.

We rented 5 Tiny Houses in August 2022 and we loved them all. Perfect location, very clean and stocked. Can't wait to return

The Happy Shack was great. We loved the decorations and the tiny house had all the items we needed for cooking. It is a great house to rent. We also loved sitting on the porch. I will definitely rent this house again.

We came to the Happy Shack of Tiny Homes for a week long stay for my daughter's competitive dance team National competition. IT WAS PERFECT! The Happy Shack was close to the LeConte Center, The Island, Goats on the Roof, Food Truck Park, and the Friendly Waterfall, and many more opportunities for a family with all teenagers. Definitely will be back ... highly recommend!

Overall, our stay at the Happy Shack was great, but there are a few important things to know before booking.
>Description: the location was great ajd as described, close to a lot of great things to see and do, but not in the middle of the most crowded areas.The free use of the pool about 5 minutes down the road was a great bonus. *WiFi was a big problem. The listing states there is free wifi, however we couldn't even get it to connect about 80% of the time, and when it did connect, the service was horrible. I understand that it's the mountains, but if WiFi is advertised, it should work. If it doesn't work, don't put it in the property description.
>Cleanliness: Overall, the Happy Shack was very clean and seemed to be well maintained. I did have to use the broom to clear dust and cobwebs hanging from the ceiling fans. We also had to buy soap for the kitchen area and bathroom spray that we left for visitors coming after us.
>Manager: the door open code worked easily and online check out was great. My only complaint is that I did fill out an online form about the WiFi issue and I did not ever receive a response.
>My Recommendation: I would definitely recommend The Happy Shack to others, but I'd want to make sure to tell then about the few concerns I had. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the Great Smoky Mountains and hope to return!

It was awesome! The Happy Shack was a great place to stay - my family loved it!

I loved the tiny house. Didn’t want to leave. My kids thoroughly enjoyed the whole place. Super nice chic place for a nice stay in Townsend. Had many amenities that all were useful. Clean and no bugs

We absolutely loved the Happy Shack. Everything we needed was stocked (just need to purchase TP, Paper towels and trash bags). The decorations were so cute and it was very clean. The mountain views were beautiful and it was so peaceful. I love Wears Valley so it was a perfect location.

A friend and I went to stay for a wedding. Cute little place, comfortable for us 2, only enough hot water for one shower. Only one mirror also. A cheap little full length mirror would be nice!

Very simple - AWESOME

Very simple - AWESOME

Enjoyed the stay. Perfect for 2. Would be a little cramped if several people stayed. It would be like camping out. The place was nice and we really enjoyed it, also quiet and in the center of of things.

360°views of the mountains, loved the boho decor, comfy, peaceful and stocked with what we needed. 5☆ we will definitely be back!

Absolutely loved our stay at The Happy Shack! Extremely clean, 360° mountain views & fun decor. We can't wait to come back! It was everything we hoped for and more! The location was perfect!

Cute, eclectic, cozy tiny home. I was instantly in love. Everything is finished so nicely. Such a quote place to relax, I barely noticed my neighbors! I would love to return someday.

One thing that I thought was super weird is that they only give you one roll of TP when you stay for 5 nights! I asked for more but was told I had to go to the dollar store to purchase my own after my “starter pack.” Oh and the wifi is basically non existent unless you are right in front of the main office.

The tiny home was great. It was comfortable and clean. It had almost everything we needed to cook and whatever it didn’t have there’s dollar general 1 minute down the road. Very convenient. The RV park overall was quiet. The creek running around the outside was really nice.

We enjoyed 7days in The Happy Shack with our 3 kids. We had plenty of space, the beds were so comfy and the house was pristine! We enjoyed listening to the frogs in the pond nearby and eating our meals on the porch taking in the sights. We cant wait to visit again!

We have stayed with cove mountain for many years and all our experiences have been great

Love staying at The Happy Shack. Our first experience in a Tiny House, but it want be the last
