Most of my adult life I have traveled for business and pleasure. I have stayed in hundreds of hotels and hundreds of cities. I have been pampered, bitten by bed bugs and in some places fearful for my life. And that was just by the staff! My teenaged son and I enjoy 1 day or weekend trips just to get... More

Me, my sister and nephew decided to do a last minute trip to the Smokies the 3rd week of October. There were hardly any rooms left in Townsend. We only like to stay on the “Peaceful Side of the Smokies.” We ended up with a room at Headrick's. I have to admit, I was not expecting a whole lot out... More

We are actually here now! We have stayed in many places the past 19 years in the mountains....this is at the top of our list now! We are in one of the rooms at the top of the hill with a balcony overlooking the mountains. Trust me, this is where you want to be. The room is so clean with... More

We stayed here 3 nights in September, 2012. Our first stay with them. Brenda was so nice and outgoing. The room was spacious, very clean, with a full-size refrigerator. Has everything you need, microwave, full-size coffee pot, coffee and popcorn, rocking chairs out front, vending & ice machines. Nice and quiet with a nice view. Close to Cades Cove, and... More

If I had to choose most modern or most clean, clean would win every time. The shower was great!! Good water pressure!! The price was very competitive and the hotels owners are super nice people. I...

Always clean and comfortable. Have stayed many times before and likely will again, good Lord willing. Dan & Brenda are excellent hosts. We like to come to Townsend and visit the Cove to enjoy the beauty of the mountains and The River Breeze fits our needs..

I am always leary of the "older" motels. I am picky about my beds(lol). I placed my bets and hit a homerun with this one. Now if you NEED the frills keep on driving by, but if you want clean and reasonable you better stop here. It is an older motel, but THE only thing I can say bad about... More

My husband and I stayed here for a few days the first of May, the motel was very clean and comfy, I would recommend this place over any chain motel, we love to hike the Smokey’s, and headrick's was very convenient to cades cove, Abrams fall trail was closed due to storms, but we still were able to find lots...
