Peaceful side of the Smokies

This property is tucked back away from almost everything. There is one more cabin right as you top the driveway coming into time we'll wasted. We love Townsend more and more each time we come back. The cabin is very nice and there was plenty of room. Has everything you need for a nice quiet stay.host communication was excellent and they were very nice. We certainly will be back.

A great stay!

After being in the "Busy" side of the Smokies, we enjoyed the quaint, quietness of Townsend. Everything was perfect except that we were expecting a hot tub, not just an inside spa tub.

Lovely home in Townsend

Enjoyed our stay at TWW - all the amenities we required were provided - the only reason I would not give 5 stars on cleanliness, the edge around the coffee table has not been dusted in a very long time and piles of leaves had accumulated on the steps and patio (which we swept) - very nice home and convenient location
