Bronco super celebration
Great experience. Wendy was amazing and super easy to work with. The group staying there for the event were wonderful. We will be staying here for our lodging needs going forward
This place was great! While we had an issue with laundry because we were traveling on a motorcycle and packing light, solutions were offered efficiently and selflessly! We were so grateful for the cabin and all the amenities- what a peaceful place to spend part of our honeymoon. We will for sure book again next time we visit the area!!
Loved the access to the little river and enjoyed tubing in the water. So many tables and chairs to sit at outside area. Room we stay at was awesome and roomy.
This is a great place to stay. We enjoy everything. The setting by the river, the comfort, and the especially the hospitality of those who work there and own it. We also went over to the Little River Pub and Deli, and ate there, and really enjoyed it. Its a nice and peaceful place to stay, and if you love being right next to water and the outdoors, it's a wonderful setting. Thank you so much, we look forward to being back again soon..
End unit in 1800's building that has had restorative plumbing and electricity. I appreciated the niceties of Meyer products, kindling/wood/and lighter for fire pit, large bureau for clothes in bdr. Lg bathroom was Fabulous and appreciated the two drawers in the vanity for all our hygiene items! Very pleasant stay!! Thx Wendy

Beautiful stay!
Quiet relaxing stay right on the river! Adorable accommodations excellent guest service! Wendy pays attention to the details to make our stay fabulous!
This property is in a quiet section of Townsend, conveniently located to the GSMNP and right on the river. If you are looking for a quiet getaway this is it! Property is well kept and accomodations are clean. Ready to come back!
We visited the end of March. Weather was perfect. Very peaceful and neat area. Lying in the hammock listening to the river made it very relaxing. It is conveniently located to Cades Cove and Smokey mountains.
We were on the run a lot but found the stay comfortable for our needs.

Wonderful place!!
We loved this place so much!! It was absolute beautiful and very clean! We loved walking through the creek and even seen some big fish! We can’t wait to come back!
It's close to the smoky mountains and on the river. The place was clean. Feels more like a motel than a separate house, it's fine, but you'll have to share the outside space with other people.
Everything my wife and I needed. We visit the mountains to enjoy the outdoors and hike. Strawberry Patch provided a clean and quiet environment right on the river!Wendy was excellent and provided all the information we needed. We will be back!
Awesome place for 2 people beautiful cabin amazing decorations Not secluded but quiet and peaceful Beautiful river views yet still right in Townsend would definitely stay again
We had a lovely experience at this quaint little getaway. Beautiful location and very helpful host. Everything was very organized with the check in process and the river is just stunning!
