About the area

Townsend

Located in Townsend, this chalet is near theme parks and on the waterfront. While the natural beauty of Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Cades Cove can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can explore Ober Mountain. Consider The Trillium Venue for a night out or River Rage Go-Kart Track if you're travelling with kids. Take in the nearby slopes with skiing, or try out other outdoor activities such as sledging.

Owl's Hoot was a lovely place to stay. Everything was clean and the amenities were thoughtful and useful. The location was convenient; it was far enough away to be peaceful, but close enough to the Smokey Mountains and places to eat and explore. This was definitely one of our favorite places to stay.

Great location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It was in a good location, tucked away from a busy area, but close enough for a scenic drive to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Plenty of room for a group of people and very accommodating.

Booked this home because of its proximity to a wedding venue. It is a lovely property, and since I was preparing a wedding cake I REALLY, REALLY appreciated the spacious and well stocked kitchen. The hosts could not have been nicer, and our family truly enjoyed our stay.
