The property and check in and out process was great. The cleanliness of the window treatment needs much attention. That is why i gave 3 stars on cleanliness. There needs to be more toilet paper left in the cabin. The fire pit does not emit heat. It is a solostove. Other than that, it was a great stay. Thank you soo much.

Peaceful side of the Smokies
We really enjoyed staying at this beautiful property right on the river in Townsend. It was a great location for entrance into the park. The building is historic but renovated nicely and plenty comfortable. If you are a light sleeper I recommend a white noise app because the noise does carry between rooms. We were so happy to stay here on the peaceful side of the Smokies and not in the busy/crazy towns!

The area and location is beautiful! Wendy was super nice and helpful. The only reason I didn’t give this a 5 star is because me and my mom barely got sleep, we were in a room downstairs and heard the people above us all night long- walking around and talking, amongst other things.

Great place to stay away from distractions like TV and all the touristy areas like Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The sound of the river was very soothing and we even saw herons two days. The kitchette was adequate to fix breakfast each morning and we cooked simple dinnners two nights. The refrigerator is small so you can’t buy groceries for a week. Wendy talked us through checkin and could adjust the temperature remotely

Clean and great location!
Lindsey checked us in as Wendy was away on a family emergency. She made sure we had everything we needed including a drip coffee maker instead of a Keurig as we brought our own fresh ground coffee. And to add to it there were fresh cut flowers in the kitchen area and on the outdoor patio table outside our door. Loved that! We did enjoy our stay along the river drinking our coffee and eating some meals on the patio table. On the beautiful sunny days, we sat out along the river and read. They have a book exchange box on the porch as well! Also had some entertainment as a lady played her banjo while we were relaxing after a day of driving the parkway. We did lots of hiking as well in the Smoky's. So was nice to come back to room for a nice hot shower! Great water pressure! As others have stated, the walls are thin. Even though the listing says no children, there was a family with children above us. We could even hear the dad tell his son to be quiet as we were below them. lol But all in all peaceful except right before bedtime. Thank you, Wendy and Lindsey, for helping us to have a great time in the Smoky's! We will definitely consider coming back.

Convenient location
The location was great…close to amenities and the entrance to the national park. Plenty of places to eat in Townsend, plus a grocery store. The apartment is part of an old cabin from the 1800’s, which was great but it was really easy to hear the people in the apartment above us. We were lucky they were on the quiet side. The creek side location made it feel quite peaceful even though it is located right off a 4 lane road.

Good location, clean, easy check in. Nice primitive decor with all necessary amenities. Keep in mind, rooms are not sound proof, but this didn’t bother us. It was a quiet, peaceful stay right on the water. The water pressure and longevity of hot water was fantastic! The only thing I would recommend is to have a throw blanket in the rooms as they are not individually heated and we got a bit chilly in the early evening. Temperature was good most of the time, but it would offer another personal touch. Looked like a nice common area outside, but it was cooler weather, so we didn’t get to take advantage of that area. Thank you!

We enjoyed our stay at the Strawberry Patch. Wendy met us in the parking lot upon our arrival, showed us to our room and gave us pertinent information about the facility and the area. It is very conveniently located to nearby attractions. And the bed was very comfortable and that means a lot to us!!! Would definitely return.
