You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Quaint, charming, lots of character in this 90-year-old cottage in Townsend, TN.

Come experience some Townsend History and stay in the School Teachers Cottage! Willow Cottage is located in the heart of Townsend and just minutes to the entrance of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The Willow Cottage is over 90 years old and offers so much charm and character! So if you are in need of a place to recharge or a romantic escape, Willow Cottage is waiting for you!

We offer a super comfortable queen-sized bed with luxury linens. Our clawfoot soaking tub will have you relaxed in no time and ready to take on the day or provide comfort from a day of hiking and exploring our sweet town and park! We do not have an indoor shower but if you are brave enough, you may use the outdoor shower - it is at the back of the cottage.

Upon arriving to the cottage, you may park at the tree in front of the cottage or in the filed directly across from the cabin. Our inviting front porch rockers offers the perfect set up for enjoying fresh morning coffee or winding it down with an evening cocktail.

We have a smart TV in the living room so be sure to bring your login credentials for your favorite streaming apps. You may also elect to skip the TV and sit back and get lost in the enchanting wood burning fireplace.

The Willow Cottage has so much to offer - bring your bicycles or you may rent one in town and leave your car parked for your stay. We are centrally located in town, and you can ride your bicycle to grab a coffee, grab lunch, dinner or even a wine slushie from the winery!

Come experience the cottage - it is truly unique and one of a kind. If you are looking for a modern cabin - this is not the one for you. But if you want cozy and comfortable - turst me - this is THE ONE!

We loved our stay at Willow Cottage. It is situated in a quiet neighborhood, but is close to the attractions in Townsend. My wife was very pleased with this booking. Loved having a washer and dryer and the internet speed is very good. The cottage was very very clean. You can tell that the host takes pride in this property. It is an old cottage, so don't expect to have the most modern of everything. That is part of the charm. Loved the hardwood floors and how everything was decorated. We can't wait to go back again soon.
