“If you’re in the Townsend area, be sure to stop by the visitor’s center for local knowledge, a clean restroom, and a selfie with Sasquatch’s brother, Edmond. Sharon gave us great advice about hikes in Smoky Mountains National Park, shopping, restaurants, festivals, Pulitzer Prize winning authors, and some fun facts about Townsend’s rise to PBS and Hallmark movie fame!“

“We stayed at The Guest House, the staff deices you down the hill to The Barn. Dinner was four courses, with five dishes to choose among for each course. The Beverage Menu is a 290 page PDF on a tablet. I studied it online before dinner, selected a very well-priced Jaboulet. Started with a glass of Champagne. A whiskey with dessert. Lovely.“
