Strawberry Patch Inn

"Our 2nd time here 2 years in a row and this brought our kids - Beautiful small river front location and walking distance to so many cute local places - Wendy is such a great host - go walk to a riverfront trail or dive into the smokey mountains to go hiking along waterfalls or rivers or skiing. A relaxing sweet place."

"Be warned, host is rude. Our stay was so uncomfortable we left early and stayed at a hotel. Host offered no full or patrial refund on this misrepresented property. It is a 2-story cabin that has been sub-divided into 8 tiny units! What?! Our door was glass with no covering allowing everyone walking by on the porch to see inside. No ability to control your temperature (remotely controlled) and we were told not to contact the host for help after 9PM nor can you check in after that time. Cannot use fireplace, no televisions at all, slow internet, bedding was cheap, bed was hard, inadequate lighting, walls were thin (we could hear every step above us and could hear them having sex!) and an overall feeling of just old and nasty, even the shower rod was rusted. I could go on about how bad it was IMO but instead I'll just issue a warning. Be very informed before you rent this place. Wasted almost $700 on 3 night reservation."

"This was our second time staying at the Strawberry Patch Inn. It was just as enjoyable and peaceful as it was years ago. Wendy was absolutely wonderful! Its away from the hustle and bustle but still a close drive to anywhere. Will be bringing the entire family next time!"

"We stayed for a 3 day weekend. The cabin was the perfect balance between space and comfy. We didn't use the kitchen but the jet tub was huge. There were a few rules(such as a quiet time after 9:30) but they were understandable and made the overall experience peaceful. Wendy was really nice and provided many tips on the area and was available whenever we needed help. Will definitely come back."

"I booked a room for my parents here for the 4th of July week. They got to the room and it had been cleaned with something that my mother is allergic to. She was hoarse and eyes swelling within minutes. We called and spoke with the owner of the Inn, Wendy, and she would not refund us any money whatsoever. My mother clearly could not stay even one night. I understand charging for the first night, but the remaining nights should have been refunded. If we "cancel" we can be charged even more money. We are now trying to find them a place to stay. Things we were not going to complain about, but now that they have been treated this way I will address them. The temperature of your room is controlled by Wendy. You are not allowed to let your door be open. There is no TV. If you sit outside on the porch to listen to the water, the bugs will eat you alive. I would not even give this place 1 star. Wendy needs to do better. She needs to be considerate."
