Townsend, Tennessee



Credt: Your Smokies

 Townsend is located in eastern Tennessee and a short distance from the Great Smoky Mountains.  Townsend's main attraction is Cades Cove at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.  Visitors can also enjoy tubing the Little River, horseback-riding on scenic trails, hiking, shopping and so much more.  I visited a few years ago with my family and we had a great time.  I particularly enjoyed Cades Cove, Townsend Visitors Center states: "Cades Cove lies peacefully in a tranquil valley. Its open fields stretch between 5,500-foot mountain peaks. Home to a fully operational grist mill with a working waterwheel and historic structures, there's over 1,500 kinds of flowering plants, deer and hundreds of black bears that live in the park."  Townsend offers a multitude of accommodations for visitors, I suggest Whisperwind Cabin Rentals.  These cabins are centrally located and a short distance from Townsend's attractions.  They are kept in immaculate condition and are surrounded by beautiful scenery.  Townsend provides the perfect setting for both adventure and relaxation.
