Nestled in the heart of the Peaceful Side of the Smokies, we offer Harvest Hosts travelers a relaxing mountain stop just minutes from the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park and scenic Cades Cove. Our family-friendly mountain village combines the charm of a classic Smoky Mountain roadside stop with modern convenience. Guests can enjoy hearty meals at our Cafe, fresh coffee from the Dancing Bean, homemade fudge and fried apple pies, unique gifts, local products, outdoor gear, and plenty of porch-sitting mountain atmosphere. Surrounded by the natural beauty of Townsend, we are an ideal basecamp for exploring hiking trails, wildlife viewing, tubing, fishing, and scenic drives through the Smokies. After a day of adventure, unwind in a peaceful setting away from the crowds of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Whether you’re passing through for a night or staying to explore the mountains, we’re proud to offer Harvest Hosts members a warm Smoky Mountain welcome, easy access for travelers, and a memorable stop along your journey.
