We have already reserved this hotel for a visit in April 2026. The room we had was a little outdated. The room isvery quiet and the balcony was peaceful.The parking for the room, in this particular section, is horrible. There are approximately six rooms (or a few more) and only four paved parking places. The convenience of this hotel to the visitor center where we were for an event is perfect. Townsend is an amazingly quiet town. You are still closely located to the rambunctious Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The Great Smoky Mountains are out your back door. Again, we have already reserved to stay there the following year that’s how much we like this family built, owned and ranhotel.

Nice quiet place to escape to the smokies

This was a nice family-run place to stay. It is a little dated, but the rooms were clean, and the staff was very helpful. It was a lovely stay, no-noise they had breakfast, but we didn't try it. very close to many restaurants and attractions. will stay there in the future. Not too far to drive if you want to go to Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge but with way less traffic.

Great stay but breakfast closes early on Sun

Overall it was a great convenient one-night quick stay for us. Convenient location in Townsend. Room was clean and comfortable. Only minor gripe was that it would've been nice to get a heads-up that they apparently stop their breakfast service a half-hour early on Sundays, as we didn't see that stated anywhere so missed the breakfast when we came down at the time that was posted.
