The remodel on the lower level was great for me, however my husband missed the old look. It was one of the reasons he loved staying there lol. It was very nice. The area of Townsend is so relaxing!

Cozy and Affordable
This motel was very cozy and affordable. I wasn't sure about having an exterior corridor, but the location eased my mind. The cleaning crew did a fantastic job and the lady at the front desk was delightful. Townsend is the best kept secretbin the Smokies.

Was just a one night stop over - perfect for our needs. Quaint & has all you need with old fashioned feel which I prefer over ultra modern chain hotels.

I booked this motel based on the reviews and it did not disappoint. The beds were comfortable and it was quiet and just a lovely little place tucked away in Townsend. We enjoyed swimming in the pool too.

We love this little gem! My son and I look forward to staying here whenever we get to the mountains and we had a great time once again! The rooms are nice--spacious, clean, and comfortable. The upper pool is our new favorite spot now that we realized it's heated!! We hadn't used it before but we really loved it after a day in the park! We didn't want to come home and my son asked the whole way if we could just go back to the hotel!!
