Katherine C., from 14-Sep-2025
"Wonderful Location"
Score 5.0 / 5

The city of Townsend is close to several outdoor hikes, camp sites, and easy access to the National Park. It is close enough to Pigeon Forge if those daily activities are what you are looking for but enjoy returning to the calm and peaceful ambience for the evening.

We stay here because it is close to Cades Cove and quieter. Not crowded like Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.

Kathy T., from 08-Nov-2023
"Perfect Place, Nature Walks, Quiet Destinations"
Score 5.0 / 5

I hesitate to say too many positive things about Townsend simply because I don't want the “tourist" crowd to find it! If the crowds and the tourist crap of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge aren't your thing, if you're into nature walks, quiet destinations, hearing a river instead of traffic, then Townsend is your place! The perfect place for photographers and artists to quietly let their creativity loose!
