This was our second stay here and we plan to return again. Wendy is a great host. The room was very clean and had everything we needed. The bed was a little too soft for our taste, but the riverside balcony made for great evening relaxation.

The location was very convenient to visit Cades Cove and the price was a good value. We had a lovely time staying by the river and enjoyed watching the birds in the morning. The place was mostly clean space, but there were a few drawbacks. The bed was on the softer side, which may not suit those who prefer firm mattresses and there was a slight weird smell during our stay. While basic cooking supplies were provided, future guests may want to bring their own pans and pots, as the provided ones are scratched. With a little attention to the odor and a few updates to the kitchenware and mattress, this would be a great place to stay.

Give it a try

This was a very good place, especially for couples who want to stay several days or more. It has a lot of bed and breakfast type of qualities yet rustic.

Very enjoyable stay

Close enough to the river to hear it. Right in Townsend. The apartment is perfect for 2 people. Communication with the owner is simple enough. I would stay here again.

Great short stay in Townsend

We had a great time in Townsend. There is a place to eat right next door - Little River Pub, if I remember correctly - which is very convenient, although we used the kitchen each morning to make breakfast. The rental was in a good location, and watching the river flow by while sitting on the porch was very relaxing. We stayed 2 nights and felt it was not enough time to see all there is to see in the area.

Quick respit while traveling

My husband and I were able to get a two night getaway. We LOVED the location on the river, the porch and rocking chairs to just listen to the river. The property is nice as well: fire pit/ sandwich/pub right on property. We would come again!!!

River front cabin

We enjoyed our stay at the Strawberry Patch Inn. The porch overlooking the Little River was our favorite part. We enjoyed watching the Canadian geese and their babies. Room was very clean and had everything we needed. Having the deli next door was convenient for sandwiches, drinks and live music! Temperature was adjusted by host when requested.

Very clean. Very quiet

The stairs up were steep. It was well furnished. Had necessary toiletries. The king size bed was great and the linens were very soft. Loved sitting on the balcony and listening to the stream run and the birds sing. Would go again!!

A Piece of Heaven

Beautifully decorated, wonderfully located, immaculately cleaned describes the apartment we spent our 51st wedding celebration in. The host was incredibly nice and made check in easy. Whether we were in the apartment having lunch or on the deck having coffee in the cool morning breeze it was a memory not soon to be forgotten. We will go back.

Very nice property. It's too bad they were let down by Evolve, who did not send us the email about checking in. We ended up phoning a number we saw on a piece of paper attached to a room so that we could check in over the phone. Once we did that Wendy was very helpful and personable.

51st Anniversary

It was terrific!!! The apartment was very clean, nicely decorated, and situated on a beautiful location on the river. You can sit on the balcony and listen to the babble of the creek. Check in and out was a breeze. The host was polite. The area is situated about a 30 minute beautiful drive from Pigeon Forge. So you can plan a day trip to there. But there is lots to do in Townsend. Whatever you decide, this is a beautiful place to spend time in.

Beautiful and clean

This was the first trip without kids that my husband and I had taken in years. The location was good was easy to find. Wendy was friendly and check in was relatively easy as well as check out. There was no television but that was perfectly fine because it added to the peacefulness. Sound travels through the building but everyone pretty much followed the “guiet time” guidelines which was great. I do have to add that housekeeping does an excellent job. This was the cleanest place we have ever stayed. Had a wonderful, restful time.

Pros and cons

I understand the rules, just would not have booked a stay where the sound carries so much that you have to use your indoor voices after 9:30 and could not use the jacuzzi tub so as not to disturb the guest underneath. We get away so seldom and this was our anniversary weekend and we got to the point that we were afraid of doing something wrong and getting in trouble and we also were cognizant of our neighbors following the rules. The porch was nice and the rushing water in the creek was nice and the place was clean. Not our cup of tea. ☹️
