Our host was very helpful and thoughtful. The location is great! So convenient to the area yet it feels nicely secluded. I believe the two beds were double beds. There is a Keurig machine in one of the bedrooms. Sitting on the front porch was just lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed the house and the area. We would certainly book again if we plan to stay in the area again.

You can’t go wrong with this place! Located right off US 321, Missy’s Trail Bike Bungalow has quickly become one of our favorite cabins. You can truly feel the personal touches in the decor, and the kitchen is exceptionally well-stocked for those who enjoy cooking. We also appreciated being within five minutes of plenty of great dining options. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and incredibly relaxing, and Missy’s communication was top-notch from start to finish. We highly recommend it and hope to stay here again on our next visit!

We had a wonderful stay in Townsend. The house is lovely and spotlessly clean. It has everything we needed, the bed is super comfy and the house is really homey. The location was perfect for a trip to Maryville and Knoxville, as well as Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We enjoyed some great food at Appalachian Bistro, Sharon’s’ and Social, along with coffee at Artistic Bean. We were able to walk to dinners and to the balloon festival, which was very nice. Looking forward to our next stay at the bungalow!

We spent four nights here and had a very enjoyable stay. We selected this property due to its easy access to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. With two bedrooms, the house was larger than we needed, and had ample comfortable places to sit and read. We particularly particularly enjoyed sitting on the porch after a day hike and a shower.We ate most of our meals at the house. The kitchen is generally well stocked, but could use a couple of new pans and sharp knives. All in all, this was a great place to stay if you want easy access to the park.
