Early Spring retreat

We visited the end of March. Weather was perfect. Very peaceful and neat area. Lying in the hammock listening to the river made it very relaxing. It is conveniently located to Cades Cove and Smokey mountains.

Beautiful and tranquil place right on the river. Rental was exactly as described. There is no television, so this is a perfect way to completely unplug when not exploring the Great Smokey Mountains.

Great spot!

We were absolutely thrilled with the location of the property as it is conveniently located right by the national park and numerous other attractions. The property itself was really beautiful and well-maintained. Having a little deli and pub on site was incredibly convenient. Check in process was very simple and everything was exactly as expected.

Peaceful side of the Smokies

We really enjoyed staying at this beautiful property right on the river in Townsend. It was a great location for entrance into the park. The building is historic but renovated nicely and plenty comfortable. If you are a light sleeper I recommend a white noise app because the noise does carry between rooms. We were so happy to stay here on the peaceful side of the Smokies and not in the busy/crazy towns!

Perfect stay

This property was exactly as described. The setting is beautiful-couldn’t ask for anything more peaceful. Especially the stream outside the apartment with plenty of seating options. We spent so much time outside-on the porch, sitting next to the running river or even in the river. As mentioned the walls were thin and you could hear other guests. The kitchen is small but well appointed. My favorite part was getting to know Wendy!! She was such a gracious hostess-quick to respond and so helpful with ideas and suggestions! I spent 2 weeks in this slice of heaven and I hope to return again soon!!

Nice Getaway

Super cozy and charismatic property. Beautiful riverside set up. Easy access, smooth process, clean & comfortable! "Quiet time" is much earlier than most places and the walls are pretty thin. It was advised at check in that there was need for care on sound, but it was more than expected. Our neighbors could hear us talking when we thought we were speaking in our room low enough, and we could hear someone snoring throughout the night from an adjacent room both nights. Sharing this not as major detriment to the stay, but something for consideration.
