Exceeded expectations as far as what pics showed. Everything you needed was provided plus some. View of Little River was beautiful and saw wildlife. Roomy and comfortable bedrooms. 2 on suite baths making it nice for 2 couples. Wonderful location to Great Smokie Mountaiin entrance. We loved it. Check out Cades cove. Saw lots of bears.
Location is the best part. Hearing the babble of the river and wildlife was great. It is located walking distance to Peaceful Side Social and IGA. Company Distilling and entrance to GSMNP are minutes away by car. Place was mostly clean and well appointed inside. Needs improvement: Infestation of carpenter bees, which were buzzing around by the dozens and raining sawdust on us (and all the furniture) anytime we were on the balcony.
My host, John was very kind and helpful. The condo was beautifully decorated very comfortable and cozy. The view of the river and the ducks was very beautiful and inviting. I had a great time.
The condo was adorable and being right on the river was such a bonus. We enjoyed sitting out on the balcony listening to the water. The place was nice and clean and had everything we needed.
this place was perfect for our vacation. Close to everything we wanted to do and so comfortable. The decor was great. Loved listening to the river. definitely would stay here again.
This place is the perfect location in townsend ! Right on the river near all types of food places and very convient to town ! Nice and clean decor Owners take care of this place
Super clean, comfy, well decorated. The balconies were lovely with a view of the babbling creek. The location truly was on the peaceful side! Love the hilarious board game ;-). Woukd definitely stay here again.
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.
This is our third stay at this condo. We love it! Great location, oof the main drag, but easy access to grocery and restaurants. Already planning our next trip!
This was perfect!! The view on back balcony, the condo, very clean, location was perfect, everything. We will definitely be back.

About the host
Hosted by John Morgan
I grew up in Townsend, I have lived here most of my life, and I don't take it granted. I know our slow, small, town is a charmed life. Come try a week with us we will show you. We know where the best restaurants are, and we know all the shortcuts! There are tons of things to do here, white water rafting, tubing, swimming, fishing, snow skiing, hiking, antiquing, just driving around in the Smoky something for everyone.
Why they chose this property
This a really convenient, quiet and clean property in a gorgeous setting, there is not a better way to start the day than watching the river drift by with your morning coffee.
