Red Bank Schoolhouse | 3 BR/ 2 BA, Sleeps 7

Guests have been returning to the historic Red Bank Schoolhouse since 1992, when the owners lovingly restored this original schoolhouse. Nestled in the beautiful Dry Valley area of Townsend, Red Bank offers both mountain and pasture views, reminiscent of it's neighbor ...Cade's Cove, which can be enjoyed from the open deck, or covered porch.
