We had such a fantastic time at this cottage in Townsend, TN! From the moment we arrived, it felt like a true home away from home. The attention to detail in stocking and preparing the space was exceptional, and it was clear how much care the hosts put into creating a comfortable and welcoming environment. The location is absolutely unbeatable—perfect for exploring the area and enjoying the beauty of Townsend. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. I wholeheartedly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-appointed getaway. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

We loved our stay. Had all the amenities anyone could ask for. My kids enjoyed the smores station as well as the hot chocolate. We like that we could just park our bicycles and ride them around the neighborhood to local eateries. Will definitely be starting again! Missy was a great communicator and kept us posted on everything.

This is the second time our family has stayed at this house and Missy certainly does not disappoint! The cleanliness of the house and attention to detail on the inside and outside of the property makes this an ideal stay for any family. Missy is extremely prompt with communication and the amenities onsite made her house easily feel like our family's home. Our stay lasted one week and throughout that time every accomodation was met and expectaion easily exceeded. Thank you again, Missy, for a wonderful vacation spent with family. Kevin B.

Our host made our stay the best it could possibly be. She has set the bar so high that the house we stayed in the following week was nice, but it did not have all the personal details that Missy had. Everything was perfect. Keep up the good work, it pays in the long run..... Thanks Again Missy
