Perfect peaceful weekend

We came for just 2 nights for some hiking and catching up with family. Spent both evenings on the balcony enjoying the view of the water and the sounds of bugs and birds and the breeze. The condo had everything we could have needed and then some. We will be back

Perfect location. Condo as pictured.

We had a great time at the Bigfoot festival and spending the weekend in this condo. It was hard to find it first, but when I reread the directions from the owner, it made perfect sense. The sign for Riverside village needs to be a little closer to the road so that it can be seen at night. Spotless clean, kitchen will equipped, and plenty of room for all four of us to sit and relax. Great time! If we come to Townsend again we will certainly consider staying here.

Great Location

This condo was in a great location with convenient access to Great Smoky Mountain NP and what was not to like about the stream. The layout was great and the furnishing were perfect for us. I would have given it a five star rating but there were no wash cloths, dish towels and the unit needs some minor repairs. We look forward to returning and staying here again!

Spring wedding stay

The condo was clean, well equipped for our needs, and extremely well located for all our needs. Our only complaints, and they're minor ones, were that the beds were too soft for our aging and arthritic backs. We weren't able to sleep well. For younger people, this probably would not have been an issue.

A peaceful and enjoyable stay

We very much enjoyed our stay at this property in Townsend. Condo was very clean and well maintained, and loved being so close to the park. Wendy was very helpful and responsive when we got in to town as well! We spent a lot of time out hiking the mountain trails, exploring a cave, horseback riding, wildlife and bird watching, and made a couple treks out to Pigeon Forge and Maryville for some nearby eats and entertainment. When we would come back for the evening, it was a comfortable stay and also enjoyed mornings on the balcony overlooking the river. We also loved the town of Townsend and how it really lives up to being the peaceful side of the Smokies. We made some wonderful family memories on this vacation: Highly recommend! Thank you!
