We loved it! Perfect Spring Break accommodations so close to the GMS National park. Great location on the river. Convenient to town and easy to get in and out of. We met our grandparents there and it was nice to have bathrooms for each bedroom!

Great place once you get inside and out back! Near a fairly busy road but you don't notice once you're inside. Wonderful accommodations, very clean and the host was great! We enjoyed being close to everything Townsend has to offer and especially enjoyed sitting around the fire pit in backyard that overlooks the amazing river... beautiful!

Our second time staying at Little River Retreat was excellent! This home is within walking distance of just the right amount of restaurants, shops and ice cream/coffee shops. We rarely get in a car upon arrival. Just can’t beat the river being right in your backyard! Very clean home, beautifully decorated, the lot is gorgeous, lots of essentials & amenities provided by the host. Wonderful!!! We’ll be back next year
