Take Care of the Little Stuff

We like staying at River Breeze, but the water drains slowly when taking a shower. Also the edge of the rug curled up and was a trip hazard.

Travel to Cades Code and the Smoky Mountains

We wanted lodging closer to Cades Cove and the Townsend River Breeze Inn was. It is an older but very quaint establishment. The beds were very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

I loved being at the hotel, the rooms was clean and I do a check for bed bugs found none not one! View was great. The house keeper was there and I told her about the microwave smelling like burnt wires she called and changed it out. She was really nice joked and went on with us.

It was an ok hotel, nothing special. I don't understand why we received a handicap accessible room, especially when there was no other tenants in our building. We checked in about 6 something on the 7th unpacked and went to The Abby for dinner came back wall unit didn’t work we were tired and went to bed, next day my wife told the office in the morning by time we got baWould we stay again, not sure depending on other prices in the area, or cabins. Just for the rate it was just ok. Nothing fabulous for 223.00 dollars. ck the night of the 8th they had it fixed.
