Another awesome stay at the Townsend Gateway Inn! Super clean and cozy cabin, friendly and helpful staff, and the peaceful side of the Smokies! What more can you ask for? Very satisified and can't wait until we can return again! More

This was our first visit to the mountains and we picked the best place to stay.The location is very convenient and it's close to alot of places to visit. The cabin was very clean, spacious and cozy. The basket goes without saying a "Great idea" and having our own kitchen to cook and have coffee whenever we wanted it was... More

Very welcoming host, rooms are spacious and clean with good free wifi and big parking spaces. Location is excellent especially for cases cove. It is at the far end of Townsend which makes it quieter as there is less passing traffic. Welcome basket of muffins/ pastries coffee and cheese snacks a nice touch. Townsend is a nice base for exploring... More

The price was good & the room was average. The only thing I didn't like was that they didn't have coffee or breakfast until 7 a.m. If you want to see the "smoke" in the Great Smokey Mountains, you need to be at the top of the mountains by 7 a.m. More

Just got done staying three days at Gateway. I always go back when I am in the area.It is by far the cleanest place you will ever find. The owners treat all the guests like family.The rooms are a good size and very comfortable. The sheets and towels are a good quality and the goodie basket is a nice touch.... More

It was very clean and quiet, the host/owner is kind and hospitable, it was clean, the basket of goodies in the room was a nice touch, and did I say...it was... More

Yes this place feels like a home. The people are friendly, helpful, and make you feel at ease and the dog is a bonus treat. She makes you feel like you are her people too. This was a quiet place and I love to stay in Townsend due to the peace and low traffic (less people). The room was recently... More

I was not in Townsend by choice, so this is not the type of motel or area where I would normally stay. After looking at the Tally Ho Inn and the Highland Manor Inn, this was by far the best choice in Townsend. The owner is nice, a true Appalachian mountain man. I was offered coffee and tea at check...

My husband and I recently stayed at the Townsend Gateway Inn for 6 WONDERFUL nights. We enjoyed the peace and quiet that the “Peaceful Side of the Smokies” is all about. Since I'm a regular on TripAdvisor I knew that the hotel was an old hotel that had undergone a remodel and that it was a very small “mom and... More
