Nice place, convenient to everything

House was adorable, right on the water, and close to everything. It's not secluded, but we knew that based on the location. It was clean and well- maintained, with ample hot water. Wifi was good if you need it. It's best for a couple alone or with two younger kids. We loved it and would certainly recommend it.

Nice little cabin!

Nice little cabin, perfect for just the two of us, and a peaceful retreat from the crowds. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch listening to and watching the Little River go by. Very easy to access and close to anything you might need while there.

Great stay by the river!

We really enjoyed our stay in Townsend. This cabin was just perfect for our family of 4. We enjoyed making a fire by the river. The cabin is right in town so not secluded but close to everything. It was so close to Cades Cove we went to drive around it three times! Great for easy park access. It’s small but had everything we needed except fire wood. We were able to buy firewood next door at the ace Hardware store. Would stay again for sure.

Perfect Riverside Cabin

The cabin was perfect for a quick 3-day getaway for my wife and son before school starts back. We enjoyed being right on the river where we could get in the water and also watch tubers going by. It was also conveniently located with restaurants, stores, and a gas station nearby. We had a great time and really enjoyed our stay!

Creekside cabin- Beautiful getaway

5 stars all the way!!! We stayed in this beautiful charming cabin for four nights, it’s very clean and cozy with a back porch and a swing plus two rocking chairs. The cabin has a full-size refrigerator, microwave, stove and coffee pot. The cabin is just a few minutes from town which includes restaurants and gift stores.

Excellent cabin and beautiful location!

We loved the cabin and the area. It's beautiful without all the busyness of Gatlinburg. Cabin was clean some cobwebs on light fixtures if I am being picky. However, floors, bathroom, etc all very clean and sanitary. Only disappointment was the fishing. We thought we could do some fly fishing but saw not one fish. Asked locals about it and they said that area wasn't great for fishing. Still wonderful to sit by the water though!

Great location! Could use a good cleaning.

The cabin is situated in a great area. We are big Townsend lovers. It’s right on the creek, and so close to everything you need. We are very picky on cleanliness. Our expectations are high. This cabin had great reviews on cleanliness, and that’s the main reason for choosing it. I usually only look at reviews on how clean accommodations are when choosing where to stay. I think we may have hit a bad day for it. The floors were not swept. The bathroom rugs were dirty, The towels didn’t smell well, and we found hair on all of them. When we went to go to bed we decided to run to the DG and get a lint roller for hair. One pillowcase on the bunk beds was not washed at all. The pillows were flat, and could be updated. We also found some blood on the side of the bed. I always bring cleaning supplies, so we got it wiped down. Our second day we went and purchased new pillows, pillow cases, and towels. We made the best of it, and thoroughly enjoyed a fire by the creek in the evenings. Our host was easy to communicate with, and super nice. They gave us a great hiking suggestion that we really enjoyed.

We loved our time spent here! Only got to stay two nights, but it was just what the doctor ordered (literally!) for a stress-free, relaxing stay. The sound of the river was beyond blissful-would definitely recommend to others, and hope to return soon!

Enjoying the slow life

This is our second time staying in this cabin. We absolutely love the location! Nothing better than sitting in the swing with a cup of coffee listening to the river running over the rocks. So peaceful. Only issue was the coffee pot leaked so we had to go buy a new pot. We will definitely be back! Thank you! Wnot work
