Beautiful area!
This Condo was very clean and had everything we needed. Wendy was an exceptional hostess and answered all our questions. We were right on the river and it was so nice to sit on the patio and watch the river flow past. We will be back.

Townsend visit
The property is a little tricky to find. The first landmark that Wendy sent to me in an email is hard the see from the highway. Something a little closer to the road would be easier to spot. Otherwise, I have no complaints about our stay on the property.

Peaceful and relaxing
Property is on a peaceful river with beautiful views. Well equipped kitchen. Owner is very responsive. We checked in and the cleaning had not been finished (beds not made and vacuum not run). I blame this on the cleaning service. Owner did send them right out but we had to wait a couple of hours for him to finish. We had an issue with the door locking early one morning as we left for Cades Cove but the owner was able to remotely lock it a little while after we left. Sofa could stand to be replaced but other furnishings are nice. All in all we enjoyed our stay and would return!

The Peaceful Side
We came to Townsend for a wedding and the location was perfect for the wedding venue. The area is nicknamed "the peaceful side" and we found the area, which is just outside Smokey Mountain National Park, and the condo itself to be very quiet and peaceful. The condo had everything we needed and the two balconies overlooking the Little River we very tranquil and relaxing as we listened to and watched nature. One highlight was seeing a Heron being chased by a Bald Eagle, which was being chased by a group of crows. It was only the second time we'd seen a Bald Eagle in the wild. We had a very pleasant stay.

Wonderful stay!
Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! Location was perfect. Central to so many things! The unit was spacious, spotless & well appointed. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the beds were super comfortable. The hosts were very communicative, and provided so much information ahead of time. I 110% would stay here again, and highly recommend it!

The condo is as advertised. Clean bedroom, bathrooms, and kitchen. Pack-and-play in second bedroom made it easy for our one year old to sleep here. Appreciate the kitchen was stocked with coffee and tea! Quick ride to Smokey Mountains National Park.

Nice condo
The location just off highway was easy, especially after dark. The condo was clean with everything needed for a relaxing weekend stay. The balcony overlooking the river was nice with a great view. Communication and checkin was a piece of cake with Wendy providing all needed information. We look forward to staying here again on the quiet side of the mountain in Townsend.

The condo is very nice, plenty of space for 4 people. Right by the river the view is beautiful. It was easy to access national park from there. I would definitely recommend Peaceful Side Social. You can walk over. They have a great atmosphere and food.

Family vacation
This is our second year staying at this condo and we are already planning to next year. It’s awesome to just sit on the balcony and enjoy being by the river. Several other family members rent cabins or condos and we spend the weekend tubing and going to the national park. Hopefully, we will be back next year.

Peaceful river porch view
Enjoyed our 3 night stay in this condo that had everything we needed. Conveniently located near Cades Cove in the GSMNP, Wears Valley, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Our plans for going tubing down the river were canceled due to low water level, but we enjoyed all other activities! We found the building a little bit isolated and the grounds unkempt. Lots of spider webs at the door, around windows and on the decks/porches. A few minor housekeeping maintenance items needed, but overall a very comfortable and clean condo inside!

Townsend/GSM
Riverside Condo served my family well. We much prefer Townsend over Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge when we visit the GSM. The condo has a great location to the park/hikes in Cades Cove and Tremont, brewery/restaurants, and it’s on the Little River. Great time! Highly recommended!
