Beautiful space, wonderful outdoor features, and SO clean! We had an absolutely wonderful time staying in Townsend at this cabin. It was right on the river with incredible views, literally minutes away from Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and right in the middle of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We wouldn't hesitate to rent this space again! One item of note, with the way the shower door is installed, the shower does allow some water to land on the bathroom floor. Just something to keep in mind if you have folks with unsure footing!
