If I could rate this property a 12 I would! Cleanest place I’ve ever stayed. So homey with beautiful decor and all the added extras. Peaceful, quiet, gated. Unfortunately our reason for visiting Townsend was to see Cades Cove. But the government shutdown closed the park. We did find other interesting things to do though.

The condo was in a safe gated complex in beautiful Townsend. It was so cute and cozy and clean. We ran the Smoky Mountains half marathon, saw the Titanic museum, shopped in Pigeon Forge, and toured the Tuckaleechee Caverns. So many fun things to do so close by!

Super Cute and Accessible
We had a wonderful time here. Very cute interior with everything you could think of in the kitchen! One of my sons was particularly obsessed with the popsickle molds and made about 20 in the few days we stayed. Very clean and well organized. This condo is conveniently located near many restaurants and stores in Townsend. We love this area and would definitely book with Jeanine and Rick again.

Welcoming & Comfortable Experience!
VRBO hosts thought of everything & our family wanted for nothing.Two spacious bedrooms with King size beds & private bathrooms(1 with walk in shower)definitely the primary reason we chose this VRBO. Property was spotless, & well equipped. Our son & daughter in law enjoyed the back patio & swimming pool during our short stay. 1st floor was perfect for my husband with limited mobility(easy walk from parking lot to home) Wished we were able to stay longer!! Peaceful area convenient to Great Smoky Mountains National Park & not far from Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg. We appreciated the hosts quick communication to any questions we had. If we return to this area again will definitely stay at this beautiful property!

This is our second stay and we were not disappointed. Jeanine and Ric are superb hosts and make sure you are comfortable. This, the location of the condo, the cleanliness, and the quality of furnishings make it a perfect home base for your mountain activities stay. The attention to detail with fall decor and thoughtfullness to give local pointers just set it over the top. We are grateful for such a great option when visiting the area.

Perfection!
This condo was a perfect base for our trip to the Smoky Mountains. After being in the hustle and bustle of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, it was nice to go back to this quiet retreat. Everything we needed was provided, and it was conveniently located for visiting the park or other towns. We would definitely stay at this condo again and recommend it to others.

Perfect family time
Property was immaculate and well stocked. Location is great if you’re looking for a peaceful vacation! We had a lot of rain the week we were there which put a damper on our outdoor activities but otherwise it was perfect.
