In town for a marathon so the location was great. Beds are good, but a little stiff for my liking. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is minimal and only opens at 8:00.
This is an absolutely gorgeous Inn where you can relax and enjoy the scenery all around. The staff and owners are wonderful people that take care of every need.
Our room was clean when we arrived and cleaned daily during our stay. The beds were very comfortable . The only improvement could have been a brighter light over the sink. I would totally recommend staying here.
We had a wonderful time in Townsend and the hotel was great! Our room was clean and smelled great. The hotel in general was well maintained. The staff were great and very helpful! We hope to see you again for the 2027 Smoky Mountain Scottish Festival and Games!
This was a charming place to stay and it was right in the middle of Townsend, TN. My husband and I came to visit for a couples get-away and to run the Smokey Mountain Half Marathon put on by Vacation Races. Sandy, one of the owners, was very helpful and helped us get reimbursed for a night's stay when we were accidentally double charged from a previous reservation. She also gave us a little bit of the history of Townsend and I told her that I was fond of a TV series called Christy that was filmed in the early 1990s and she was able to direct us to where some of the movie set was filmed in the town of Townsend and that was fun to explore, even if some of the buildings are now on private land. It was great when Sandy told us the best places to eat nearby and it is so beautiful there. I was surprised to see fireflies at night as we spent a few minutes in the gazebo on the property - I had never seen fireflies before. This was really close to the Smokey Mountain National Park and we also enjoyed attending church in Marysville as well as biking Cade's Cove and hiking to Abram's Falls to name a few. Pigeon Forge was fun as well as the Skypark in Galinsburg. We would definitely stay here again. The breakfast was simple continental breakfast but the homemade muffins Sandy made were delicious.
Easy check-in/check-out. Large quiet room. Very clean, comfortable bed. Easy access to property. Each room has its own entrance, and parking was easy, right in front of the room. Breakfast is offered, but we chose not to take advantage of it, so we can't speak to it.
Everything was great for our short one night stay. Every thing was very clean and the lady in the office was super nice. Breakfast was very small with few options but fine for a quick bite before hitting the road.

Clean room, amenities were great, staff was so amazing as always. Love this place!!
This place was so wonderful! It's in a great location to Cades Cove, nature trails, locally owned restaurants and more. I stayed here with my parents when I was a teenager and it was really great to come back with my own family.
