We have been visiting Townsend for many years, Missy’s place is our favorite place to stay now. This is our third visit and looking forward to an another visit this year in the fall. Missy’s place has always been exceptionally clean, well stocked and very comfortable. We really enjoy staying there!
This was such a nice house to stay in for a long weekend. It was well stocked and convenient to get to places from the house. The host was AMAZING! We would stay here again!
The house was better than we could have ever imagined. The house was clean, and beautifully decorated. It was the perfect weekend retreat. We are already making plans for our next visit!
Great spot! Perfect location to enjoy all that the peaceful side has to offer. Well stocked and very nice extra touch with a complimentary Cades Cove Cab Sav. Lots of games, Fast WiFi and smart TV. Great level parking and lawn area which can be hard to come by in the Smokey’s.
Missy is such a wonderful host! We have stayed at two of her homes based on our family's needs over the years. Missy is professional, her properties are incredible, clean, and her communication is consistently prompt. Everything presented on vrbo is better than advertised. We will always vacation with Missy when the opportunity presents. Thanks again Missy!Kevin
Missy is an excellent host! This isn’t our first trip and won’t be our last. She makes special accommodations to make the trip comfortable and enjoyable. The house is always extremely clean and has everything we need!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Our host, Missy is absolutely awesome! Everything was very clean. Having the bike path right out our front door was key! Would stay again!
Beautifully decorated and clean. We felt instantly at home. If someone is looking for a quiet getaway from the high tourist areas, I highly recommend this location.
Wonderful Host! Great in town location, on the Townsend bike trail, comfortable, clean, well stocked kitchen with extras that are not expected. Nice front porch for morning coffee. This is our second stay and we hope to return.
Great location. Beds were too high for us old people.

Oh Jill. I’m so terribly sorry that the bed was too high for u and your husband. We’ve never heard of that being a problem before. I sure wish we would have known about it early rather than after u had left. We have another property nearby that we would have gladly upgraded you to at no additional charge. We would have even helped u moved if needed!
We go to great lengths to provide exceptional 5 star stays for all of our guests. We have a detailed and deep cleaning after every guest and stock our home with lots of “extras” that most rentals don’t. I’m sorry we didn’t meet your expectations.
Kitchen was stocked well. House was very clean. We took advantage of the bike paths around town that are right in the front yard. Great location just a few minutes from GSM-NP.
My friend and I stayed here for several nights. The cabin is adorable and well stocked. The owners are very responsive if needed. We absolutely loved our time here and would recommend a stay!
We got there after dark. All the lights were on which was very welcoming. The house is nicely furnished with cute decor. Just about anything you may need is provided. The location is good. The entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains is just down the road, as is the road through Wears Valley which takes you to Pigeon Forge. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it.
