"The pool was amazing! Easy to heat the spa and so nice to be attached to the main house. Very accessible for kids to be nearby swimming. The pool table was in beautiful shape with good, pool sticks. The theatre room was cozy and comfortable with little tables between each seating for drinks or snacks. The hideaway and nook areas were so fun for the children. Very fun house design. The bowling alley was a blast, although we didn't find out until arrival that one lane wasn't working. It was very enjoyable and there was continual rotation of playing on throughout the stay. The grounds were lovely and the community pickleball court was in good shape as was the mini-golf which actually had golf clubs and balls self-serve. The view was amazing and the little pond right outside the house added a serene feel."
"The staff was great. The rooms were clean. This is an older motel but it’s maintained really well. Although we didn’t bring a pet, the have 3 or 4 pet friendly rooms. The motel is really close to the entrance of the park and the are several places to eat near by. Also the rates are quite reasonable. We will definitely stay there again."
On the Little River in the heart of Townsend, with a beautiful view!
10/10 Excellent
"We didn't do any cooking, but the kitchen looked well stocked. There were several excellent restaurants very close by to the condo. The property was very clean and the balconies on the river were wonderful. We hope to be able to stay here again."
"The grounds were well maintained and the room was nicely appointed. We appreciated being in the same building as the office. Restaurants and Appalachian Bear Rescue were in walking distance. "
