About the host
Hosted by Wendy Teffeteller
We love to travel off the beaten path and often find ourselves staying at Vrbos when we travel. Growing up in East Tennessee, we are often spoiled by just how beautiful our hometown is and we are so happy to share it with you while you visit. When we aren't traveling you can find us remodeling flip houses, fishing the Little River, playing golf, or planning our next getaway.
Why they chose this property
This is a property that has been in Wendy's family for many years. She recently took over management and promptly remodeled the unit. Her family created some lasting memories playing in the Little River during the summer months and sharing it with friends and family over the years. Now we are happy to share this quiet family spot with you.
What makes this property unique
You will be surprised how quiet this property is during the day. We love to sit in the living room with the sliding door open so we can hear the river that is below. One of my favorite spots in the world is sitting on the balcony in the morning with a cup of coffee and just listening to the river. You have all the convenience of being close to town, while still having the quiet of being up in the mountains. Bring your bike and enjoy our bike trails, or if you don't want to bike, just enjoy the miles of walking trails that go through Townsend.
