About Us

Family owned and operated, the Townsend gateway Inn originally opened in 1954 with three cottages and was known as the Wears Motel & Cottages. In 1974 the first phase of the motel was opened with four rooms and was expanded to 15 rooms in the late 1970s. The property was completely renovated in 2009 and reopened in August 2009 as the Townsend Gateway Inn.
