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.

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!

Home away from home

I wanted to stay in a house as opposed to a hotel. The host had a very well-equipped kitchen. Although we never opened the wine it was a nice gesture. It was a chance to get away from the Florida weather. I would stay there again if I was to get back to Tennessee.

Perfection!!

My sister and I wanted a place to relax and regroup after a death in our family, and we both needed good wifi to work a little. Missy was the absolute best hostess, and her home was perfect in every way. The decor was phenomenal, and she thought of EVERYTHING we could possibly need. We’ll be back Missy. Thank you!! The Greenberg Girls!

Awesome

This is a very cozy home. Very Clean and updated without losing the charm of what is was over 100 years ago. The host is very detailed on appointing the kitchen and bathrooms of her properties. If you are cooking or grilling at home you will not have to go out looking for cookware or utensils. The outdoor was also set up to do just that to enjoy the outdoor property. Truely a gem of vacation rental's.

Sweetest home for the perfect stay in the quiet side of the Smokies

My teen daughter, husband, and I stayed at this lovely, absolutely charming home and loved every second of our stay. The home wraps you cottage beauty as soon as you walk in the door. You feel simultaneously at home and enchanted. Missy is the hands down the kindest host we have ever had and went out of her way to make us feel at home. She thought of everything and surprised us with a snores station, coffee bar and even a bottle of local wine. The home sits right at the greenway which was perfect for riding our bikes. Close to everything Townsend. We didn’t want to leave and we will be back! Thank you, Missy!

Super clean, Cozy atmosphere

This is an excellent place if you’re looking for something quite and cozy with and atmosphere and host that makes you feel like you’re at your own home. Super clean, great location, and Missy has thought of everything and more that you could want or need and has it there for you when you arrive. She is quick to respond to any questions you may have before or during your visit. This is our first experience with vrbo or anything of this sort other than a hotel, and she has definitely set the bar high. We enjoyed our stay with friends and our fur baby very much and would not hesitate to book here again when in the area!

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.

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.
