Perfect size. Perfect location.

We stayed here for spring break with 4 adults and 3 children. This home was amazingly clean and so well stocked! There was nothing forgotten. The location was ideal for restaurants, sightseeing, etc. The upstairs area was perfect for the kids and we loved all having our own bathroom. We will definitely be back!!

Perfect Home Away from Home in an Unbeatable Location

We had such a fantastic time at this cottage in Townsend, TN! From the moment we arrived, it felt like a true home away from home. The attention to detail in stocking and preparing the space was exceptional, and it was clear how much care the hosts put into creating a comfortable and welcoming environment. The location is absolutely unbeatable—perfect for exploring the area and enjoying the beauty of Townsend. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. I wholeheartedly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-appointed getaway. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Pictures don’t do it justice!

We loved our stay. Had all the amenities anyone could ask for. My kids enjoyed the smores station as well as the hot chocolate. We like that we could just park our bicycles and ride them around the neighborhood to local eateries. Will definitely be starting again! Missy was a great communicator and kept us posted on everything.

Best Place Townsend

I have stayed in various locations Townsend TN. The Oasis was everything advertised and more. Our host was amazing and this home is so well appointed and organized we had to take notes for ways we will do things in our home. Very clean and comfortable. By far if I cared about cost this is best value for anyones dollar.
