Beautiful place! Internet was spotty, through no fault of the host. Don't plan on doing remote work on your stay. Loved the condo and love the river!

The condo was clean and very cozy! Having 2 balconies was wonderful. Got to have coffee over looking the Little River that flowed right behind the place. Very peaceful location. The host was easy to communicate with and very thorough with check in and out instructures.

This unit is in a great location in Townsend. It is right on the Little River so it was fun watching the tubers go by! The two porches were a great feature to enjoy the nature sounds of the area. The unit was clean and had adequate furnishings. The wifi didn't seem to be strong enough to use was my small issue. Overall, it is a great unit and is a great place for a family to make family time memories in Townsend!
