Amazing, very clean, off the beaten path hotel. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The atmosphere was very laid back and welcoming. The pool was crystal clear. The patio and playground area were a very added bonus. Loved this hotel! Will definitely go back!

My husband and I have been coming to the smokies at least once a year since 2021. This is the most pleasant stay we’ve had. I can’t say enough about how great the Townsend Gateway inn was. They greeted my dog at check in with a biscuit so he also sends a five star review. We stayed in cottage 1 and can’t wait to come back!

Liked the location. The wheelchair ramp was very steep. My older daughter had to push my younger daughter up and down the ramp because it was to steep for me to do it.
