Clean, quiet, peaceful, and beautiful view. Most gracious VRBO host ever. Easy directions and access to the home. Fantastic water pressure. Beds were comfortable. Morning coffee on the porch was wonderful. Close enough to town for shopping but far enough away to be out of the hustle/bustle of the Ballon Fest and then the Jeep Fest the following weekend. This will definitely be the rental we choose for return trips to Townsend. It was a great much needed relaxing vacation.

Family relaxation

The stay was great. Great little old house in a quite area. Good views. Only issue i had is the water heater does not supply enough hot water to fill the jetted tub. That was my only disappointment with this house. Would recommend this place to stay

All Fine

The Ranch was nice. It was exactly as advertised. Perfect for small family that needs basic accommodations (ie- no wi-fi ,no dishwasher, mostly basic amenities, etc). My only real complaint is that the hot tub/spa tub is a garden tub in the large bedroom. It took about an hour to get the water up to the jet level, and by that time, the water was lukewarm. Melody was very nice, and very responsive.

Mountain peace

This is an amazing place. It is nestled in the country with beautiful views. The moon rose behind the mountains and it was so cool. VERY clean. I check below the surface. A wet paper towel rubbed across the kitchen floor remained clean!! The beds were very comfortable, and all was tastefully decorated. I can say with 100% honestly, that i slept better here than anywhere else i have stayed. I highly recommended and would definitely come back! wet paper towel rubbed acros

Quiet and Relaxing

Great place to stay. Quiet and peaceful neighborhood just minutes from Townsend. The Rancher had everything we needed for our stay and the added bonus of some of our favorite food seasonings in the cabinet (it’s the little things). Will definitely keep this as the first place we look at for every trip to the area.

The cabin is perfect for a smoky mountain vacation. Close to the park and the town of Townsend. It’s out of the tourist zone. The cabin was clean and comfortable with the bonus of a washer and dryer. Would definitely recommend.
