Recent Townsend guest reviews

Very nice place just not on the floor I requested and reserved
Elizabeth F. | Apr 2025
This house was perfect for my three kids (10, 13, 13 years) and my husband and me! The setting is serene, private and still close to town. We are grateful we stayed in Townsend instead of Gatlinburg! While there is no shoulder on the road on which to run/ride bikes, there is a paved multi-purpose trail about 5 minutes away. The views of the mountains and horse farms are stunning! Would definitely stay here again!
CARRIE L. | Mar 2025
We had a great stay. Customer service was amazing!!! They texted/emailed us to welcome us, to check on us while we were there, and when we left. I’d definitely use this company again!!
