Smoky Mountain River Bungalow

We loved the back porch, just sitting and listening to the river. House reminded me of staying with my grandmother. The only problem we had was the shower. I'm not strong enough to turn it on. Fortunately my husband could.

Perfect location, right on the river and close to everything. We had a mechanical glitch and I called to report it and literally minutes later the property manger (Steve) came to fix it. Impressive.

The location is great. It was perfect for our family with lots of room in the main area. We loved it!

You can’t beat the location, perfect for family with kids that want to play in the river. This was our second stay, and there will be more.

The house was lovely. Very clean. And right on the river! Wish we could have stayed longer so we could have been able to use the river. Right next to the Abbey and so close to everything. Thank you for the stay!!

Was a communication error with property manager. We had to walk over to a business they owned to find out door code to get into rental house. Outside could use a cleaning. Couldn't use car garage because it had stuff stored in it. Great location though.

The house is older and from reading prior reviews we didn’t expect anything modern. It was a cozy house the age didn’t matter to us. My children had no complaints about their beds. My husband and I stayed in the master bedroom. The bed is really high. I didn’t discover the foot stool until the second night. Thankfully I did because I’m not very tall. The bed was firmer than what we are used to but we slept pretty well. The hot water doesn’t last long or get very hot in the showers. Especially when you have 6 people showering. One thing we enjoy is our morning coffee. The coffee pot needed to be cleaned. It had a used moldy filter left in it. Which I dumped and ran through the dishwasher. We ended up purchasing our on pot for the trip. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and pots and pans. Due to the winter weather we ended up having to cook our first night. So having a well stocked kitchen was a blessing. The back porch and back yard is nice. My kids enjoyed the fire pit. Of course having the soothing sound of the River was enjoyable. Regretfully, we forgot to bring swimsuits for the hot tub. But the water was hot and we would have enjoyed using it. The house has a nice large garage. Our truck was too big for. But that is a nice addition to the property for cars. Overall we had a great experience and would stay again! The town of Townsend is a nice area away from the hustle and bustle of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg yet a short drive to visit both.
