We loved the peace, everything was clean and just what you see in the pictures. We enjoyed the balconies and had the patio door open with screen shut while we slept so we could hear the river. Best sleep we've had in a long time and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. The thing my charger plugged into on the river side of the bed didn't work but the other one did so it wasn't a big deal. In the living room, the loveseat is more comfortable than the couch but it was a great place to stay. Thank you!

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.
