Parking's an issue if you're arriving when the bistro is open. We were always able to find a space, but sometimes not near the cabin. There are a couple signs for "cabin parking" but they were frequently moved, taken down, or ignored. Something the lodge should really fix. Roomy living space, couch, several more upholstered chairs, dining table. Wood burning fireplace (in season). Smartest TV I've seen in a hotel room. Most every streaming service you could think of, and when one wasn't there, it was a breeze to download and add. Full kitchen, basic plates, glasses, silverware. Paper towels provided. Microwave, oven, toaster, dishwasher, full fridge. A few ice trays. If you plan to do your own cooking, plan to take anything more you need. Roomy bathroom, walk in shower, great water pressure. Bed was wavy when moving, so a little partner disturbance, and wife complained it was not great on her back. Ok, but could use a refresh. Daily service as you need; leave a card with what you'd like checked each morning on the door. Overall an excellent place to stay in Townsend. Enough issues that for the price, we may look around a bit before returning.

This place delivers what matters most: clean rooms, comfortable beds, cold air conditioning, easy parking, and happy kids. Our room had two comfortable queen beds, a mini fridge, coffee maker, chair, and one of the best AC units we've experienced in a motel/hotel in a long time. Everything was clean, comfortable, and exactly what we needed after a full day of exploring. The real star, though, is the pool. Actually, pools. They have two, and the one closest to our room was a huge hit with the kids. Add in the outdoor rocking chairs and fire pit area, and you have a place that makes it easy for families to unwind. Check-in was fast, parking was effortless, and the rate was very reasonable for this time of year. Townsend River Breeze Inn isn't trying to be a luxury resort. It's focused on doing the fundamentals exceptionally well: a clean, cozy, affordable place to sleep, swim, and enjoy your vacation. That's a formula that works. We'd happily stay here again.

This definitely fit the "not fancy" bill, but it was ok. At 3:30 in the morning the smoke alarm started beeping. We called down to the front desk and they said there was nothing they could do about it until 8am when a manager came on shift. They had no help to offer. Just expected us to stay in the room with it chirping loudly every other minute and did not seem to care at all about the inconvenience. Wouldn't even let us have a late checkout for the inconvenience.

They could have done a better job with the bathroom, especially the shower stall. Had to duck down for the water to hit my head and I'm 5'10. Also the drain for the shower was awful. The breakfast was actually good and the staff were nice, but seemed like on person was running the show (the person who made the food also checked me out). There aren't many restaurant options in the area, but the one across the street was excellent except for they close at 9PM. The pool wasn't open when we went- not sure why.

Breakfast (if you can call it that) was very basic. Coffee was weak. Staff said they were short-handed and couldn't find help. We had to ask for clean towels. The female owner was rude!

Another 2 couples arrived and were told their reservations had been canceled. Neither one had canceled the reservations. So much for small-town, family-owned customer service.

I felt so at-home....the walls & beds were made of logs, furniture was hand-carved, original paintings on walls, and so much detail put into this place, I felt like it was a work of art...

Best of all, there was also a back door opened to a beautiful creek with a patio and picnic table. I felt so welcome and so relaxed being there. $70 was a fantastic price for the value! I couldn't ask for anything better!!

We were able to call the owners and they either answered immediately or called us back to answer all of our questions. The cutest room was Critter Cove which had an additional crib sized mattress that wasn't included in the website description. The Bear Den has a glider rocker. Firewood was available to use in the fire pits at the restaurant in front of the Inn. We just used it and paid for it the next day. One caveat: the restaurant is only open for a few hours during lunch, even though they advertise being open until 7 pm. Plan to eat elsewhere if you arrive outside of lunchtime! We stayed for 2 nights instead of the 3 nights that we had reserved, and the owners quickly credited my credit card for the unused night. It was an all around good experience.
