My family had a wonderful stay here during our vacation to Townsend! David was a helpful and kind host, and the property was wonderful. Our boys had the best time riding bikes on the bike trail right out front, and we were so close to the National Park. We would love to stay here again!

Amazing!!!!

I loved everything about the property, good size bedrooms and bathrooms. Nice view and very quiet, peaceful place. Also liked the way the hosts would communicate with me quickly and give me accurate answers to my questions and concerns. Would definitely stay here again if I come back to Tennessee.

Home away from home

Spacious, CLEAN, comfortable, modern appliances (the refrigator makes hot water), very nice showers, extra large covered porch. My husband and I stayed 9 days. Townsend is a very quiet community with great local shops and resturaunts. Convient enough to Cades Cove to go every day. It was the perfect location between Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge and Cades Cove without having all of the conjested traffic of Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge. Also, near Foothills Parkway and "The Dragon". We had a lovely stay, could not ask for more.
