Perfect peaceful weekend

We came for just 2 nights for some hiking and catching up with family. Spent both evenings on the balcony enjoying the view of the water and the sounds of bugs and birds and the breeze. The condo had everything we could have needed and then some. We will be back

Loved the balconies overlooking the Little River, very serene, quiet, peaceful. Kitchen tiny but workable; just right for us. Pots and pans could be upgraded. Storm door on front really needs to be repaired. Bathrooms and bedrooms very nice

Park Visit

Really enjoyed the view from the second floor deck overlooking Little River. Perfect for birding at tree level. Saw bald eagle, merganzer, king fisher, wood duck, to name a few. The condo was clean, comfortable, and adequately stocked. We’d stay again.

Great Location

This condo was in a great location with convenient access to Great Smoky Mountain NP and what was not to like about the stream. The layout was great and the furnishing were perfect for us. I would have given it a five star rating but there were no wash cloths, dish towels and the unit needs some minor repairs. We look forward to returning and staying here again!

Perfect location. Condo as pictured.

We had a great time at the Bigfoot festival and spending the weekend in this condo. It was hard to find it first, but when I reread the directions from the owner, it made perfect sense. The sign for Riverside village needs to be a little closer to the road so that it can be seen at night. Spotless clean, kitchen will equipped, and plenty of room for all four of us to sit and relax. Great time! If we come to Townsend again we will certainly consider staying here.
