Beautiful setting and set up right in the middle of everything the Smoky's offer. Townsend was also a very nice town with a great place to eat, get ice cream, and sit outside while the kids play. The beds were firm but all the rest was great!

Our stay was very nice, and it was great to get away. We have stayed with Wendy before, and she is very nice and accommodating. The Room was very cozy and had everything we needed. It was very relaxing to just sit and watch the creek. We will return. Thanks Wendy!
