Mimosa Bend Cottage is a quaint, cozy retreat to get away to for refreshing and relaxing mind, body and spirit. The cottage is tastefully decorated and has lots of windows to enjoy the view of the river, wildlife and nature.
Since we are located right on the river the cottage is elevated so you will feel like you are in a big tree house! We strive to keep our cottage as clean and well cared for as possible.
Just off the great room is a large deck overlooking the river with a table/chairs and gas grill. There is even a tree growing up through the deck that is home to a hummingbird feeder that is a popular feeding spot for the little critters. A great place to read or sit and appreciate this quiet little part of God's Country.
You will have your own private beach that is concreted and has steps into river for easy access. The beach is a fantastic place to launch a canoe, kayak or tube.
The swimming hole is a fun place to take a dip in the cool water or just anchor out in the river and float your cares away on a tube or float. Maybe you would like to sit on the beach and soak up some sunshine or drop a line in the river and do a little fishing.
We invite you to come and enjoy this "Peaceful Side of the Smokies."

Owner's Profile
Why the Owner Chose Townsend
As was the cottage inherited so was a great love of this side of the Great Smoky Mountains and especially the Little Tennessee River. We appreciate the peacefulness of Townsend and the friendly laid back attitude of this small town and its people.
The Unique Benefits of this Cottage
Our favorite things would be to just see the sight and hear the sounds of the river flowing by. Some mornings and late afternoons we might see a big Blue Heron gliding by or maybe stopping in for a little fishing expedition. This is also a favorite time to see geese and ducks traveling by. We keep a couple of hummingbird feeders that we have placed in good spots for viewing them dropping by for a drink too. A few times a bear or dear has been spotted nearby. We also enjoy the beach while sunning, reading or just relaxing. Trout fishing is by far Mr. Watson's favorite thing to enjoy!
