It is a beautiful area with a nice sidewalk/trail to walk/run/bike along. Limited places to eat and shop.

Townsend is very close to Cades cove which is why we go to that area and very far from attractions we could care less about

Since we only stayed overnight, and didn't explore I can't comment about the town. However, I loved the calmness and serenity of the town. I would love to go back and relax and explore more.
