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.

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.

Miss leading listing
This 3 old cabins from the 1800’s that have been moved and placed together in an apartment/ Inn style with 6 total rooms/ apartments together in one building there is NO PRIVACY you can hear everything going on in the rooms around you! The owner I believe lives I downstairs or very close and watch's the cameras and sees when you come and go! Yes its a beautiful location. The room was clean and just fine for my Husband and myself. However the there was no mention that it was an upstairs apartment in a shared apartment building where we would be able to hear everything and have to worry about everything and everyone around us hearing us walk around on the old creeky floors. And the tub and shower in our room had a lot of water damage that was not mentioned or shown in the picture. Nor was the fact that it was a deep tub that would have to be stepped over into. All and all it worked for a quick get away but we will not be back.

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.

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.

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!!!

Ok,
The property is needing a little upkeep. Room was clean but you may feel quite inebriated trying to walk across the floors. Jacuzzi tub does not work. No tv but Wifi worked well enough for streaming through my laptop. Definitely difficult for the less abled. Trying to get luggage and supplies around the back, up the 2 sets of steps, back to our unit was not convenient for sure. Very pretty setting out back over the river. Birds, geese, the Townsend trail, Cades Cove and local amenities were super. Although the price was appealing I wouldn't stay again.

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.

Townsend Relaxation
I checked into my room and knew I was at the right place. There’s no TV in the room and the back porch overlooks the River. I would go hike trails early in the morning and come back in the afternoon to the relaxing sound of the River sitting on the back porch. It was a very homey, relaxing environment. The room was very clean as well. Highly recommended.
