Top Townsend Hotel Reviews

Highland Manor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and well maintained rooms. Good location and peaceful environment."

Laurel Valley Mountain Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"The retreat is perched on top of a mountain with a beautiful view of the Smokey's. The room was very cozy, the bed extremely comfortable and loved the waterfall shower. Very peaceful and a great place to rest after a long day of site seeing. The staff, the two that we delt with were so friendly and most tentative. Any request or need was addressed immediately by Ben. The breakfast was fresh, hot and different each morning. Hope would also make eggs any way you'd like."

"We had a suite with 2 bedrooms and a living room. It was easy to check in and conveniently located close to Cades Cove. Riverside Restaurant was close by as well and had an excellent breakfast. We will definitely come back! Thank you!"

Creekside 2 Bedroom Cabin by RedAwning

10/10 Excellent

"This place was perfect for our trip. It’s located close to everything the area has to offer. We didn’t have more than a 45 minute drive to get to anything. The place is simple, in a good way. It has everything you need and nothing you don’t. The best part is the back deck over the mountain creek. It was very relaxing to sit out there and listen to the water. We spent most of our time at the cabin enjoying that. The hot tub on the deck was a nice bonus as well. The area is absolutely beautiful and there’s a grocery store and some restaurants 6 minutes away. I would definitely stay there again and would recommend to anyone who wanted to spend time around the Smoky Mountains national park area."
