Excellent, so clean and beautiful property inside and out. Perfect location for a quieter family but very easy access to the park.

Perfect size. Perfect location.

We stayed here for spring break with 4 adults and 3 children. This home was amazingly clean and so well stocked! There was nothing forgotten. The location was ideal for restaurants, sightseeing, etc. The upstairs area was perfect for the kids and we loved all having our own bathroom. We will definitely be back!!

Wedding Party

We stayed here for our daughter's wedding in Cades Cove. This home is beautiful, clean, and well thought out. Missy, the host, is extremely kind and helpful. The personal touches for your trip that she put into it makes it extra special. We love coming to Townsend and have found our new "go to" home to stay in.
