    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.

    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!!

    This place is hidden in plain sight. Perfect place for our 49th Wedding Anniversary trip. The inside of our cabin had been meticulously put together in order to carry you back to a time long ago. It reminded my wife and I of our grandparents homes down to the squeak the bed would make. Plenty of room to relax in after a day of exploring the Smoky Mountains. Our door faced the river and you never knew what wildlife you would see in it. From deer and ducks to wild Canadian geese. We will never forget this precious stay we had at this location and look forward to other times with possibly the whole family. This was a great price. I’ll let Wendy ( owner) tell you the history. Book it and have a blessed stay.

    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..

    Overall it was a nice trip and a decent place to stay. Keeping me from rating it excellent: no TV, owner control of heat/AC, thin walls/ceiling and offsite laundry. Otherwise a great location … 10-60-minute drive to explore the areas we were wanting to- Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Gatlinburg & Knoxville. If I had realized no TV in the rental, we could have brought a tablet so we could watch a movie together after hiking and adventuring all day as we did have internet. Walls were very thin… could hear other folks getting up in the night to go to the bathroom. Sprinkling/light rain drips through the night. River could also be heard and that was lovely. Overall a nice stay, just not rustic enough (single unit cabin) or too rustic for an apartment/hotel situation. We didn’t try the onsite pub, but their menu looks pretty good and the owner said they offer renters a discount. Water was hot and didn’t run out on back to back showers.

    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.

    Great property. The cabin is rustic and charming and has a wonderful location right on the river. The home is lacking some basic necessities though. No digital thermostat, No TV.....Both were inconveniences. The home was clean and as described for the most part. The management left plenty to be desired. We arrived and were locked out. Apparently the owner insists that you check in 48 hours prior to arrival in order to get the code. As a guest, I don't want to study the mice type of the check in process. The check in process should be simple and clear....and I've never heard of having to check in 48 hours prior....this is totally unacceptable. The check in instructions (including door code) should have been emailed to guest prior to arrival. I had to call owner to get code and she proceeds to keep me on the phone for 20 minutes fumbling around trying to get the code and then INSISTS that I do a detailed tour of the home with her on the phone so she can talk me through every operating feature in the home. When I told I wasn't going to do that because we were tired from driving and just wanted to check in our home, she got a huge attitude and started reprimanding me for not checking in 2 days ago. A completely tone-deaf manager ,who has unreasonable expectations, micro-manages. and is not utilizing basic technology like all of the other homes to communicate efficiently with guests. Overall- Good Stay but can be improved with some easy changes to management. .

    This place is called strawberry patch inn. Which isn’t named anywhere on Vrbo to be able to look up reviews. Very nice property BUT we came in for a big event so there was only one person handling check in at time of arrival Quiet time rules which is no biggie BUT being in room 7, you can hear EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING. From conversations, laughing, walking and even more stuff during quiet times. I had to use the blow dryer to cut out sounds I didn’t want to hear. Also, the room temperature is not controllable in the room. You have to contact the property manager to adjust the temp. Bring blankets bc only 1 is on the bed and nothing extra We were only provided 4 towels for 2 adults staying 3 nights. Beautiful scenery but some money needs to be put back into the property to sound proof it.

    Super cozy and charismatic property. Beautiful riverside set up. Easy access, smooth process, clean & comfortable! Quiet time is much earlier than most places and the walls are pretty thin. It was advised at check in that there was need for care on sound, but it was more than expected. Our neighbors could hear us talking when we thought we were speaking in our room low enough, and we could hear someone snoring throughout the night from an adjacent room both nights. Sharing this not as major detriment to the stay, but something for consideration.

    This property was exactly as described. The setting is beautiful-couldn’t ask for anything more peaceful. Especially the stream outside the apartment with plenty of seating options. We spent so much time outside-on the porch, sitting next to the running river or even in the river. As mentioned the walls were thin and you could hear other guests. The kitchen is small but well appointed. My favorite part was getting to know Wendy!! She was such a gracious hostess-quick to respond and so helpful with ideas and suggestions! I spent 2 weeks in this slice of heaven and I hope to return again soon!!
