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

Best Get-a-Way Accommodations and Host

Our 2nd Stay at Biketrail Bungalow! Missy is a gracious Host and it shows, she makes her place very welcoming for her guests. Very clean, well stocked, tastefully decorated, extra touches making you feel special. We love the covered Front porch, taking the time to sit a spell and relax! Great location. It's the "Peaceful Side of the Mountain" that brought us to this destination and finding the best place to stay and perfect host is why we are repeat guests.

Peaceful Getaway

This property lacked nothing! It’s cozy, convenient and esp nice the bike/walking trail is a few steps away. The main road is near but noise was not a problem and it was quiet for sleeping. The carport is handy and only a couple of steps into the house. The porch and backyard are great. The beds are super comfy and the kitchen was stocked! I’ve never had anyone leave eggs and butter :) Missy was very kind and accommodating - don’t hesitate to book with her!

Loved the location

We loved the location of this property - close to amenities in Townsend and also the GSMNP. The house was extremely clean and had all kinds of household items to make our stay comfortable. And Missy was very sweet to communicate with. We wish the grass had been cut for our 2 little dogs, but Missy explained the extenuating circumstances which I completely understand and appreciate. We plan to return in the future. Thank you.

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!

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.

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.
