Host was very welcoming and great communication. The extra blankets are always a bonus. The scenery was beautiful and such a quiet neighborhood. Plenty of room to spread out in the house. Christmas decorations were a special touch. Having the extra kitchen amenities and condiments were helpful. The weather was so nice we got to enjoy the outside patio furniture. Would def recommend staying here & would rent again.

Missy’s house even more charming and lovely than we expected. It’s perfect for guests of all ages and stays of all types, in our case, a young family looking for a quiet weekend near the national park. Missy’s hospitality is second to none, everything is thought of and spotless. We will be back.

Nice change of pace

We have been coming to Townsend for years and usually stay in a cabin; this time we decided to try something different; this place was straight out of Southern Living; very clean and comfortable, convenient to town and the Park, owner was responsive to a a few questions; overall very pleasant experience
