Private Retreat Nestled Amongst the Great Smoky Mountains of Townsend, Tennessee

The possibilities for outdoor adventures in Townsend are endless and guests are sure to make the Great Smoky Mountains National Park their first stop. The park has a large variety of trails for hiking and biking, as well as great picnic areas. Hikers can follow the trails to the top of Clingmans Dome and horseback riders can trek through the lush valleys of Cades Cove. The Cove also has an 11-mile loop reserved for cyclists on Wednesdays and Saturdays between sunrise and 10 am.

Thrill-seeking glampers can rent rafts to experience the park's fast flowing rivers while fishing enthusiasts can cast a line from their doorstep into the Little River, or try one of the many rivers in the park. Outside of the park there are some great activities too, and glampers will not want to miss the nearby Tuckaleechee Caverns, a spectacular cave system which is over a mile long, that reaches depths of up to 150 feet. The Foothills Parkway traverses Chilhowee Mountain and is a great way to spend a day admiring breathtaking views of the Smokies, the Tennessee Valley, and Cumberland Plateau.
