    Townsend is a small town and is a nice place to stay if you don't want to deal with a lot of traffic, the down side is that eating options are somewhat limited. I usually stay here when visiting the GSMNP as it is close to some of my favorite areas of the park.

    I have been to Townsend many times.

    I have been to Townsend many times. It is a quick trip to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area to enjoy all the activities there from Townsend. Townsend is a slower pace and much less traffic. Close to Cades Cove my favorite part of Smoky Mountain National Park.

    We love Townsend for the slower pace and quiet atmosphere compared to the tourist trap on the other side of the mountain. Still close enough for a day trip to Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, or Cherokee. Very close to Cades Cove.

    Quaint little town.

    Quaint little town. Great way to visit the best parts of the Smoky Mountains away from the hustle and bustle of Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg/Sevierville but a short drive to get there if you want to visit those too. Hiking, fishing, river tubing, and bike riding easily accessible in Townsend. Several nice shops, and restaurants. Everything you need for a peaceful getaway.

    Small town with little to no amenities.

    Small town with little to no amenities. Poor dining choices and the IGA grocery store was the grossest store I’ve ever been in. If you must stay in Townsend because its the closest lodging to Cades Cove find a room with a kitchen - go to Maryville to stock up on groceries then spend all your time in the park.

    The mattress was newer. The room was big. The pool is nice but everything is in a state of disrepair or needs a power washing. We booked this hotel just because it has a balcony and so we could smoke but there's signs everywhere saying they will charge you $200 if you smoke.

    Great cabin, great location. Townsend is a great base to explore the park. The cabin has a nice kitchen and we also loved the BBQ on the deck. We shopped at IGA n Townsend which had everything we needed and very friendly staff. We also loved Apple Valley for coffee.

    View was amazing, hot tub worked fine. New floors are a nice touch. Townsend was amazing and you don’t feel over crowded. Family of deer walked through under the balcony every morning. Definitely worth doing again.

    We had a wonderful stay at The Dancing Bear Lodge! It’s a very special and fantastic lodge in Townsend. Our last stay was 14 years ago and we enjoyed it as much as the last time.
