The condo was decorated really cute and was very clean. We loved the river running at the back of the property. We enjoyed watching the kids float by on inner tubes. We would love to stay at the property again if we are in the area.

We absolutely loved our stay at this cozy condo in the Smoky Mountains! The place was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing trip. Sitting on the balcony overlooking the river was so peaceful—hearing the water flow by made every morning and evening feel extra special.The location was perfect—tucked away enough to enjoy some quiet time, but still close to all the fun in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The kitchen was well-stocked, the beds were super comfy, and the space had all the thoughtful touches that made it feel like home.This condo truly was a perfect escape. We can’t wait to come back and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to unwind by the river in the Smokies!

Excellent place to stay!

We had a wonderful time at this place. It was immaculately clean, had plenty of space and was very tastefully decorated. We loved being so close to the stream and there were even binoculars which we could use to look out at the birds. The place was quite private with 2 separate porches looking out over the stream. We would definitely recommend it and are looking forward to returning.

Peaceful Stay

This condo is very comfortable, clean, well stocked and it’s an easy place to relax. The river view from the balconies is especially nice. We also like that it’s a short walk to the grocery store and to Peaceful Side Social, a fun and yummy eatery! It’s in a quiet area and we felt safe. Don’t hesitate to book :)

We had a wonderful time in Townsend. We had a wonderful time at this condominium, listening to the babbling stream beside it. Everything that was dated for comfortable stay was there and John was a very attentive coast. If you’re looking for something special in town and I would suggest this.

Peaceful Side is Right!

We introduced a family member to the Smokies and so glad we chose to stay in Townsend! She loved visiting us at the condo and the location was perfect. The condo was as advertised, nicely appointed and clean. We love the cabin look! The stairs weren't bad but I wouldn't want to do them all the time. Host was excellent.

About the host

Hosted by John Morgan

Host profile image
I grew up in Townsend, I have lived here most of my life, and I don't take it granted. I know our slow, small, town is a charmed life. Come try a week with us we will show you. We know where the best restaurants are, and we know all the shortcuts! There are tons of things to do here, white water rafting, tubing, swimming, fishing, snow skiing, hiking, antiquing, just driving around in the Smoky something for everyone.

Why they chose this property

This a really convenient, quiet and clean property in a gorgeous setting, there is not a better way to start the day than watching the river drift by with your morning coffee.
