I like Townsend because it is what Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg are not: it is quiet, in character with the serenity of the Smokies. On previous trips, I've rented cottages up in the hills, but decided to try Dock's, after having checked it out on previous visits. I stayed four nights. It is a family operation. I rented a small...

We have travelled to Smoky Mountains a few times before and always Gatlinburg, TN was our home base. This trip we decided to go for something new and changed our location to Townsend, TN. Town itself is very close to National Park but not crowded. From here all mountain trails and attractions are very easy accessible. Dock's Motel gave us... More

Visited in December, which is the off season for this town. Stayed here because of their rates - $45 for one night! How sweet is that! The front desk staff was very kind, room was clean, bed was comfortable, and shower was hot! I could ask for nothing else! Regardless of when you decide to visit the smokey mountains, consider...

This was our 2nd time staying at Dock's. We won't stay anywhere else when we are in the Smokies. The first stay was in one of the rooms which is a throw back to the 50's. Which is it's charm. This time was in one of the cabins. Which was really nice. Great value. We love it here and will... More

I highly recommend this place. The people are friendly, the rooms are clean and well-stocked and you couldn't ask for a better location, especially for the price. I have stayed in a motel room and in the Rendezvous 2 cabin and both were great experiences. The cabin was very nice, the kitchen was very usable. The only complaint I have... More

This was a great place to stay! We stayed in a "Rendezvous" cabin. It was small but very adequate for 2 people. Everything was very clean and worked well! We were treated very friendly and Dock's is in a great location to access Cades Cove and the restaurants and amenities in Townsend.

Dock's is a jewel despite what some high-falutin' reviews have said about it's being a relic of yesteryear. The cabins on the river are delightful. They have large porches complete with 2 Adirondack chairs for watching critters as the Little River flows gently by and a picnic table for dining out. The river cabins are quite spacious and diverse.

We took a chance on this hotel.....and OMG this is the cutest mom and pop hotel!!!!! Cabins right on the river!!! Very clean room. I could have stayed here for a week. There is a good walking trail along side the road that goes through Townsend. Horseback riding right across the street. I will definitely return.
