Not a place to eat unless it's a picnic. We seen 14 bears and cubs one day and 21 two days later. Awesome place to visit for families or couples.

Scotty’s Bike Townsend was an amazing business to work with on our getaway and ride through Cades Cove! From booking all the way through our return, I felt like we were taken care of-even alleviating my concerns with weather and bears! Sue explained the e-bikes and communication helmets and did a full demo for us. She showed us how to load them and unload them easily into our truck. The bikes were phenomenal! We’ve rented e-bikes before and these were the most comfortable (big seats!!) and easy to use. And with the communication helmets we were able to talk to each other easily! The whole experience was TOP NOTCH!!!!

We rented bikes and everyone that worked there was really nice and helpful and had a sense of humor. We did the 11 mile bike ride and didn't see any bear but saw a couple deer and Turkeys. The drive there was also beautiful.

We were camping and were able to do the 24 hour bike rental. Wonderful to ride the Cades Cove loop with no cars and experience the wildlife in the cool evening hours. The bikes were well maintained and the staff extremely helpful and friendly.

In the national park near Townsend Tennessee. Elven mile loop that you can drive, bike, walk, etc through to tour pioneer homesite from the 1800s from first settlers. You will be able to take in the natural beauty and see wildlife from the area. They advise they have an estimated 1300 bear in the area. Following GPS got us lost, so make sure you go towards the town of Townsend. You can rent bikes and camp there. Traffic gets backed up when they see bears, so pack a cooler with food and drinks. There are no places to get food that I know of. Very beautiful, and I listed the campground address bc I couldn't find any good address to navigate us to. Enjoy, and is fantastic.
