There are two chairs on the rear porch along with a privacy wall constructed between you and the closest neighbor.

10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
This was the relief from a baseball tournament that we needed. Super quiet and made it easy to relax. Wish we had more time to play in the river, do some grilling, and maybe have a fire! Regardless, when we play ball in Maryville this will be our go-to place to stay!!
8 / 10Excellent·Mar 2026
Beautiful location right on the water! Fabulous covered building separate from the house that overlooks the water. Everything you need for a small family. The only issue you had was communication was slow, Townsend is an amazing place!
8 / 10Excellent·Mar 2026
The house was clean and well stocked.We did have to reset the router in order to have internet.The only issue I had was poor cell service, which I know they have no control over.
6 / 10Average·May 2025
Best of the property is outside. The covered outdoor area overlooking the river made it possible to overlook many issues inside.
