Feathered Friends Room at the Bunkhouse Inn, Townsend, TN

Resting peacefully alongside the Little River in Townsend, TN lies the Bunkhouse Inn.This quaint little no-nonsense inn is perfect a quick getaway or an extended stay in the Townsend, Tennessee area.

All rooms offer microwaves, coffeepots, and refrigerators. Outside, there are three fire pits, you can grill and you’re just a stone’s throw away from the Little River. But, the novelty of this little hideaway is that all six rooms are individually themed and are adorned with hand-painted murals. You just have to see them!
