Lots of outdoor areas to relax and play in. Even a big tree swing on the hillside providing a beautiful mountain view.

Southern Hospitality at its Finest
Missy was an amazing host-responsive, sweet, and kind. She thought of all the details and made us feel right at home in this charming, well-appointed bungalow. The location on the quiet side of the Smokies was exactly what we were looking for. Thank you, Missy!

Bike Bash perfect stay!
We were in Townsend for the Dancing Bear Bike Bash and this was the perfect location to stay - we were able to ride our bikes from the house directly on the bike path to everything in Townsend. I thought it might be noisy being close to the main road but it was not. Everything was thought about in this home and it was a wonderful stay and I would highly recommend this home to stay in for a visit in Townsend. It is very close to everything - the best thing to do is bring your bike and explore the town from this house!

Cozy Cottage
Everything here was homey and comfortable. My mattress was excellent, the bedding soft and cozy, and the blankets abundant. The couch in the living room fully reclines, which everyone was very excited about when we snuggled up for a movie night, and the kitchen table was perfect for our tabletop games. The carport access makes loading/unloading in the rain a breeze. Missy was very attentative and always quick to respond to any inquiries I had. The house being nicely stocked with coffee, creamer, and some breakfast basics really helped us get our vacation off to an easy start and was much appreciated. I loved the location and being basically right across the street from several restaurants, The Chocolate B'ar (a must for delicious local chocolate), and River Rat tubing. It's incredibly convenient. I have already been recommending it to other family members and would love to be a guest again in the future.

Adorable Bungalow
My sister-in-law and I spent a week at Biketrail Bungalow and had a wonderful time. The house is adorable and decorated so cute. Missy had provided such an amazing amounts of little extras that most rentals don’t ever offer (pancake batter, syrup, oatmeal, fresh ground coffee, condiments, olive oil, soft drinks, butter, spices, gallon and quart zip,lock bags, first aid kit, heating pad, etc). The location was so convenient to everything. Will definitely stay there again.

My family and i had a great time staying here! The house was decorated for Christmas and was very cute. The owner was super responsive to all of our (many) questions. It was 4 minutes from the entrance to the national park. Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg were a short drive through thr mountains away. It was close to everything without being crazy busy. I highly recommend.

Adorable, immaculate and perfectly located!
This little house still holds its old charm after being updated with modern conveniences and beautiful, stylish decor. I wish they could give me some tips on how to make my own house this cute! It’s very accessible to everything in the community and so easy to get to. Missy is an excellent hostess who is personally committed to making sure her renters are comfortable and happy! The ONLY downfall we experienced is not even something we would expect a VRBO host to consider…just a caution to others with little escape artist children. Our toddler was able to quietly and easily escape out the sliding back door every time we turned around. He could also escape the front door, but he loved the other one. Being on a busy street, I was pretty stressed playing defense the whole time! Otherwise we had a PERFECT stay! Will return for sure (when the little is older or with some baby proofing hacks)!

Home away from home
I wanted to stay in a house as opposed to a hotel. The host had a very well-equipped kitchen. Although we never opened the wine it was a nice gesture. It was a chance to get away from the Florida weather. I would stay there again if I was to get back to Tennessee.

My sister and I wanted a place to relax and regroup after a death in our family, and we both needed good wifi to work a little. Missy was the absolute best hostess, and her home was perfect in every way. The decor was phenomenal, and she thought of EVERYTHING we could possibly need. We’ll be back Missy. Thank you!!

We had a wonderful week here on the peaceful side of the smokies. The home was perfect for our needs. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen well-appointed, and everything was as described. As another reviewer mentioned, this house is right on the main road, but it sits back nicely, so it feels secluded. We brought our bikes and enjoyed the bike trail. Our dogs also felt welcomed with dogs bowls out in case we had forgotten ours. We would be thrilled to stay here again. At time of checkout, I mentioned to Missy that I had misplaced my wallet. Missy's husband went through the trash that they had already picked up and found it! I can't thank them enough.

Best kept secret in Townsend!
Our stay was wonderful .The owner supplies so many helpful items for your stay so it lightens the load on what you need to pack for your trip. Check in and check out was a breeze and Missy was so responsive our entire stay. I havent slept so good in a long while. This home sits close to the road but you will be shocked how quiet it is! We have been visiting Towsend for the past 10 years and have stayed at great places, this was hands down our favorite! Thank you for everything you did for us 😊 You wont regret choosing this historic home.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the bungalow. It was very quaint and cozy. Missy has done a superb job of supplying every need for the stay and more so. She really is a premiere host, both in accommodations and communication. This has been our favorite place so far to stay during the several times we have been to the Smokies.

This is a very cozy home. Very Clean and updated without losing the charm of what is was over 100 years ago. The host is very detailed on appointing the kitchen and bathrooms of her properties. If you are cooking or grilling at home you will not have to go out looking for cookware or utensils. The outdoor was also set up to do just that to enjoy the outdoor property. Truely a gem of vacation rental's.
