Great place once you get inside and out back! Near a fairly busy road but you don't notice once you're inside. Wonderful accommodations, very clean and the host was great! We enjoyed being close to everything Townsend has to offer and especially enjoyed sitting around the fire pit in backyard that overlooks the amazing river... beautiful!
