Best Get-a-Way Accommodations and Host

Our 2nd Stay at Biketrail Bungalow! Missy is a gracious Host and it shows, she makes her place very welcoming for her guests. Very clean, well stocked, tastefully decorated, extra touches making you feel special. We love the covered Front porch, taking the time to sit a spell and relax! Great location. It's the "Peaceful Side of the Mountain" that brought us to this destination and finding the best place to stay and perfect host is why we are repeat guests.

Super clean, Cozy atmosphere

This is an excellent place if you’re looking for something quite and cozy with and atmosphere and host that makes you feel like you’re at your own home. Super clean, great location, and Missy has thought of everything and more that you could want or need and has it there for you when you arrive. She is quick to respond to any questions you may have before or during your visit. This is our first experience with vrbo or anything of this sort other than a hotel, and she has definitely set the bar high. We enjoyed our stay with friends and our fur baby very much and would not hesitate to book here again when in the area!

Peaceful Getaway

This property lacked nothing! It’s cozy, convenient and esp nice the bike/walking trail is a few steps away. The main road is near but noise was not a problem and it was quiet for sleeping. The carport is handy and only a couple of steps into the house. The porch and backyard are great. The beds are super comfy and the kitchen was stocked! I’ve never had anyone leave eggs and butter :) Missy was very kind and accommodating - don’t hesitate to book with her!

Loved the location

We loved the location of this property - close to amenities in Townsend and also the GSMNP. The house was extremely clean and had all kinds of household items to make our stay comfortable. And Missy was very sweet to communicate with. We wish the grass had been cut for our 2 little dogs, but Missy explained the extenuating circumstances which I completely understand and appreciate. We plan to return in the future. Thank you.

Adorable Bungalow

My sister-in-law and I spent a week at Biketrail Bungalow and had a wonderful time. The house is adorable and decorated so cute. Missy had provided such an amazing amounts of little extras that most rentals don’t ever offer (pancake batter, syrup, oatmeal, fresh ground coffee, condiments, olive oil, soft drinks, butter, spices, gallon and quart zip,lock bags, first aid kit, heating pad, etc). The location was so convenient to everything. Will definitely stay there again.

My family and i had a great time staying here! The house was decorated for Christmas and was very cute. The owner was super responsive to all of our (many) questions. It was 4 minutes from the entrance to the national park. Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg were a short drive through thr mountains away. It was close to everything without being crazy busy. I highly recommend.
