"Serenity was great. I think it's very exciting for her to be able to practice her craft in this setting. Her technique was spot on and by the book. It was very relaxing, which is exactly what I needed so it worked out great. She was very kind and polite and just a sweetheart. I enjoyed the treatment very much and was so appreciative that it was an option."

Serenity Patterson ~ Licensed Massage Therapist

Serenity has been a star staff member at Evins Mill since early 2022 and more recently received her massage therapy licensure. She is thrilled to open her practice at Evins Mill and share her services and talents exclusively with our guests. Her interest in massage therapy was born as a child, when her father would come home from a hard day's work and ask Serenity to massage his sore calves.

She possesses measured control of her pressure and adapts easily to a variety of conditions. As a guest attendant at Evins Mill for several years, Serenity has observed many guest returning from hikes to Carmac Falls and commenting how they could use a massage! She invites hikers and non-hikers alike to her table to help them experience serenity (pun intended).

An Easy Escape from Middle Tennessee


Located just far enough to feel like a world away, yet close enough for a stress-free journey, Evins Mill is the premier choice for a wellness retreat near Nashville.

  • From Nashville: 1 hour 10 minutes (via I-40 E)

Why Choose a Smithville Spa Retreat?


While downtown Nashville offers luxury, it rarely offers silence. At Evins Mill, your massage is soundtracked by the wind in the hardwoods and the rush of Fall Creek, not city traffic. We offer a true "Mountain Experience" without the 4-hour drive to Gatlinburg.

Near Center Hill Lake: Boating on Center Hill Lake or hiking at Edgar Evins State Park can be physically demanding. Our studio is the perfect post-lake destination for Smithville-area visitors looking to treat their sore muscles to a professional Swedish or Hot Stone massage.

Near "Short Mountain": Planning a tasting tour at Short Mountain Distillery or Calfkiller Brewing? Balance your weekend of local Tennessee spirits with a morning of spirit-renewing wellness. Our LMT specializes in deep relaxation that complements any Middle Tennessee itinerary.

The Ultimate Middle Tennessee Babymoon
Expecting parents from Nashville and Murfreesboro frequently choose Evins Mill for their final quiet getaway. Our Prenatal Massage Add-on is designed to provide comfort and relief in a serene, nursery-capital setting. Combine your massage with a slow stroll through our Hammock Bower for the ultimate relaxation before your new arrival.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)


Do I need to be staying at the resort to book a massage?
Yes. To maintain the privacy and seclusion of our property, our spa and massage services are reserved exclusively for overnight guests and corporate retreat attendees.

How far in advance should I book my treatment?
Because we operate on a boutique scale with a select team of licensed therapists, we highly recommend booking your massage at least two weeks prior to your arrival.

Can we book a couple's massage?
While we do not have a dual-table room for simultaneous side-by-side massages, we frequently accommodate couples by scheduling consecutive appointments, allowing one partner to relax on their private deck or hike while the other receives their treatment.
