Our unit had a balcony that overlooked the Little River. Townsend is definitely the quiet entrance to GSMNP and our location was full of bird sounds and water over rocks. The unit was well stocked and very clean. Wendy was very helpful making sure we knew how to get a parking pass etc. Using One Key Cash points made it very reasonable.

The condo location was perfect for us. We brought our bikes and were able to ride the bike trail and around the neighborhood. Easy access to the IGA, coffee shops, restaurants, and our personal favorite—The Peaceful Side Social. Very quiet and peaceful overlook of the river. This is an end unit with second floor entry. You’ll have one floor of outside stairs and then another flight inside to the bedrooms. Not challenging, but important to consider when booking.The condo was very clean and comfortable. It’s a little outdated, but it’s an older building and you could tell that they have updated the things that matter. Full size washer & dryer in unit was nice to have.The master bedroom had its own balcony overlooking the river. It was a wonderful perk. The bed is a bit on the firm side. Each bedroom has its own full bathroom. One with tub and other with stand up shower.Last minute booking for us and everything was easy from booking to check in to check out.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Riverside Condo. The location is a 10/10. It is easy to walk to multiple dinner locations, the grocery store, and the coffee shop. We loved having the river outside our door and easy access to walking and bike paths. The condo was clean, and communication with the host was excellent. I recommend this condo.
