Welcome to the Highland Manor Inn – meeting all of your lodging needs in Townsend, TN and the Great Smoky Mountain area. The Highland Manor Inn was built by the owners, Don and Sandy in 1982.
They wanted to be self-employed and the idea of a motel in Townsend, near the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park sounded like a good decision, one that could support their family. 40 years later they are still at it, providing excellent lodging and meeting facilities, meeting and getting to know many, many folks who travel to the Smokies. It’s enjoyable, come see why.

Guest rooms at the Highland Manor Inn were designed with your comfort in mind and are tastefully decorated. Rooms feature King or Queen beds. Some rooms include sofa sitting areas, and all have refrigerators and microwaves. All rooms have cable TV, room phones and a private balcony or terrace.
Rooms For Special Occasions
For any special occasion, we have rooms featuring private whirlpools and/or wood burning fireplaces in season. Some of the whirlpools are double-sized for two. Some of our rooms have kitchens. Rollaway beds and cribs are available.
Enjoy a beautiful view of the Great Smoky Mountains from your terrace or private balcony!
