Mixed Bag- Great Property, Poor Mgt

Great property. The cabin is rustic and charming and has a wonderful location right on the river. The home is lacking some basic necessities though. No digital thermostat, No TV.....Both were inconveniences. The home was clean and as described for the most part. The management left plenty to be desired. We arrived and were locked out. Apparently the owner insists that you check in 48 hours prior to arrival in order to get the code. As a guest, I don't want to study the mice type of the check in process. The check in process should be simple and clear....and I've never heard of having to check in 48 hours prior....this is totally unacceptable. The check in instructions (including door code) should have been emailed to guest prior to arrival. I had to call owner to get code and she proceeds to keep me on the phone for 20 minutes fumbling around trying to get the code and then INSISTS that I do a detailed tour of the home with her on the phone so she can talk me through every operating feature in the home. When I told I wasn't going to do that because we were tired from driving and just wanted to check in our home, she got a huge attitude and started reprimanding me for not checking in 2 days ago. A completely tone-deaf manager ,who has unreasonable expectations, micro-manages. and is not utilizing basic technology like all of the other homes to communicate efficiently with guests. Overall- Good Stay but can be improved with some easy changes to management. .

Beautiful and tranquil place right on the river. Rental was exactly as described. There is no television, so this is a perfect way to completely unplug when not exploring the Great Smokey Mountains.

Nice Getaway

Super cozy and charismatic property. Beautiful riverside set up. Easy access, smooth process, clean & comfortable! "Quiet time" is much earlier than most places and the walls are pretty thin. It was advised at check in that there was need for care on sound, but it was more than expected. Our neighbors could hear us talking when we thought we were speaking in our room low enough, and we could hear someone snoring throughout the night from an adjacent room both nights. Sharing this not as major detriment to the stay, but something for consideration.

Perfect stay

This property was exactly as described. The setting is beautiful-couldn’t ask for anything more peaceful. Especially the stream outside the apartment with plenty of seating options. We spent so much time outside-on the porch, sitting next to the running river or even in the river. As mentioned the walls were thin and you could hear other guests. The kitchen is small but well appointed. My favorite part was getting to know Wendy!! She was such a gracious hostess-quick to respond and so helpful with ideas and suggestions! I spent 2 weeks in this slice of heaven and I hope to return again soon!!

Great spot!

We were absolutely thrilled with the location of the property as it is conveniently located right by the national park and numerous other attractions. The property itself was really beautiful and well-maintained. Having a little deli and pub on site was incredibly convenient. Check in process was very simple and everything was exactly as expected.

Vacation

The property and check in and out process was great. The cleanliness of the window treatment needs much attention. That is why i gave 3 stars on cleanliness. There needs to be more toilet paper left in the cabin. The fire pit does not emit heat. It is a solostove. Other than that, it was a great stay. Thank you soo much.

Peaceful side of the Smokies

We really enjoyed staying at this beautiful property right on the river in Townsend. It was a great location for entrance into the park. The building is historic but renovated nicely and plenty comfortable. If you are a light sleeper I recommend a white noise app because the noise does carry between rooms. We were so happy to stay here on the peaceful side of the Smokies and not in the busy/crazy towns!

The area and location is beautiful! Wendy was super nice and helpful. The only reason I didn’t give this a 5 star is because me and my mom barely got sleep, we were in a room downstairs and heard the people above us all night long- walking around and talking, amongst other things.

Townsend

Great place to stay away from distractions like TV and all the touristy areas like Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The sound of the river was very soothing and we even saw herons two days. The kitchette was adequate to fix breakfast each morning and we cooked simple dinnners two nights. The refrigerator is small so you can’t buy groceries for a week. Wendy talked us through checkin and could adjust the temperature remotely

Clean and great location!

Lindsey checked us in as Wendy was away on a family emergency. She made sure we had everything we needed including a drip coffee maker instead of a Keurig as we brought our own fresh ground coffee. And to add to it there were fresh cut flowers in the kitchen area and on the outdoor patio table outside our door. Loved that! We did enjoy our stay along the river drinking our coffee and eating some meals on the patio table. On the beautiful sunny days, we sat out along the river and read. They have a book exchange box on the porch as well! Also had some entertainment as a lady played her banjo while we were relaxing after a day of driving the parkway. We did lots of hiking as well in the Smoky's. So was nice to come back to room for a nice hot shower! Great water pressure! As others have stated, the walls are thin. Even though the listing says no children, there was a family with children above us. We could even hear the dad tell his son to be quiet as we were below them. lol But all in all peaceful except right before bedtime. Thank you, Wendy and Lindsey, for helping us to have a great time in the Smoky's! We will definitely consider coming back.

Convenient location

The location was great…close to amenities and the entrance to the national park. Plenty of places to eat in Townsend, plus a grocery store. The apartment is part of an old cabin from the 1800’s, which was great but it was really easy to hear the people in the apartment above us. We were lucky they were on the quiet side. The creek side location made it feel quite peaceful even though it is located right off a 4 lane road.
