Take Care of the Little Stuff

We like staying at River Breeze, but the water drains slowly when taking a shower. Also the edge of the rug curled up and was a trip hazard.

Travel to Cades Code and the Smoky Mountains

We wanted lodging closer to Cades Cove and the Townsend River Breeze Inn was. It is an older but very quaint establishment. The beds were very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
