Travel to Cades Code and the Smoky Mountains
We wanted lodging closer to Cades Cove and the Townsend River Breeze Inn was. It is an older but very quaint establishment. The beds were very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Quiet get away outside GSM National Park.
Quaint classic motel just outside Great Smoky Mountains park. Not fancy, but comfortable and staff was awesome! A very quiet and pleasant alternative to the chaos in Pigeon Forge.

Take Care of the Little Stuff
We like staying at River Breeze, but the water drains slowly when taking a shower. Also the edge of the rug curled up and was a trip hazard.

This is a really cute motor lodge-style motel in a beautiful area. Some of the amenities feel outdated (bathroom), but the room was very clean. The bed, however, was horribly uncomfortable. Price felt steep but seemed comparable to other lodging nearby.

Cozy and Affordable
This motel was very cozy and affordable. I wasn't sure about having an exterior corridor, but the location eased my mind. The cleaning crew did a fantastic job and the lady at the front desk was delightful. Townsend is the best kept secretbin the Smokies.
