    This was the perfect setting for my best friend’s bachelor party, it was quiet and peaceful, the property was groomed and welcoming with Bill offering us all the majesty his land had to offer. The look out is the crown jewel but it’s the perfect place to get away even if you just need a porch to sit on and birds to keep you company. I will be bringing my family to take it in as soon as possible!!

    The cabin was absolutely perfect for our group weekend. The kitchen was stocked with supplies needed for us to cook and the living room/couch was so comfortable. The beds were very cozy and bathrooms spacious. The owner of the property is incredibly friendly, stopped over to say hi and welcome us. We felt very safe. Lots of hiking nearby. Will absolutely be planning to come back.

    The cabin and property were wonderful! We enjoyed walking the trail to the overlook. Made it just in time for sunset! Bill was so gracious to give us a tour of the whole property and share his story and vision for the land. We greatly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it! Bill is an excellent host!

    Beautiful, quiet setting. The property is easy to locate. Great kitchen with everything you need for family meals. Hiking on site. We walked up to the lookout twice a day. State Park is close for walks around the lake and dinner at the Lodge. The host is very cordial and willing to give you a tour of the property. A five star experience.

    We had an amazing relaxing getaway at the red cabin! Bill is absolutely amazing and keeps the property in immaculate condition. We had everything we needed and then some. We enjoyed relaxing mornings on the wrap around porch admiring the deer, cozy fires at the fire pit at night, walking the peaceful trails in the woods, looking at the Milky Way at night, and sipping bourbon at the amazing view point during sunset. We had a much needed spiritual break from the every day stress. Thank you Bill!

    Host has thought of everything in this perfect retreat in the woods. My sister and I loved curling up under one of the big cozy blankets and enjoying coffee on the porch. After coffee it was a morning hike to the breathtaking overlook. The house is perfectly comfortable and every detail is thought of by this gracious host.

    We came up to Spencer for our friends who opened up The Ugly Mug Bar and Grill in Spencer, TN. The Ugly Mug is only about 10-15 minutes away from the cabin. Food at The Mug was delicious, so if you need a spot to eat close by, this is the place! The property is perfect and peaceful, it was so nice to sit out on the porch and relax in the rocking chairs just listening to the trees in the wind. Coming from Miami, we don't get that at all. We also loved how each side of the porch had a different way to sit and relax, from the swing to the couch to the rocking chairs. And each side had a different view. Our granddaughter loved to swing with her Papa Joe and look for Minnie Mouse in the woods, it was so cute. They have everything that you would need and the couch is super relaxing! The beds are very comfy and the rooms are fairly dark in the mornings, which I love. We even got to use the fire place, that was a treat for us Miami folks. The property is very well kept and the owners are very quick to reply if you need anything. I can't say enough about this property, it was everything that our family needed for our vacation and more. We hope to be back here again.

    Loved everything about this cabin!! Immaculate, very well decorated, updated kitchen and shower. Porch rockers, swing, and outside fire set yo. Owners took me on their tv to shown where the walking tails were as well as a beautiful lookout point. We definitely will come back! The owners were very helpful and quickly responded.

    Our cabin was just perfect - clean, comfortable, well-equipped. The property is beautiful. We love to go to the mountains every fall to hike, and there is a mile+ hike to a beautiful overlook site on the property. We were close to Rock Island State Park, Savage Gulf State Park, and Fall Creek Falls, so there were lots of options for hiking and beautiful scenery. The hosts were fantastic, available for any issues that arose (the gate malfunctioned one day). Highly recommend this property!

    Fantastic stay - cabin was exactly as described and pictured, immaculately clean, and very easy to find. Hosts were top-notch hospitable and have done an amazing job tailoring their property to create a wonderful experience. The property is far enough out to get away from light and noise pollution, enjoy watching the stars from the fire pit! Close drive to Fall Creek Falls. Be sure to stop at Publix in Cookeville on your way in to stock up so you can fully enjoy a time of rest and respite.

    The property is absolutely amazing! It sits on private land that has tons of trails to hike on. The host gave us a private tour on his ATV of the trails and how he built the property. They communicated very quickly with us and always making sure we had what we needed. They even helped us start our fire pit since we couldn't get it started ourselves and the wood was wet from a small rain shower. The cabin was perfect with everything we needed. The beds were amazingly soft and comfortable. We would recommend this cabin to anyone looking to stay in the Fall Creek Falls state park area. Perfectly wonderful cabin in the woods!

    My husband, 5 month old baby and I had a wonderful time in the cabin and exploring the property. It was a perfect weekend getaway and we absolutely loved the nature cabin vibe. It was very clean and cozy. We hiked to the lookout and the view is incredible! I would recommend planning a day to stay to explore the property. The main bed is very comfy and we were able to set up our baby’s pack and play in the same room. The bathtub was definitely nice after a long day of hiking. If it wasn’t so rainy we would’ve loved to use the fire pit. Bill and Erin were responsive and very kind! They provided a lot of information ahead of time so finding the location and checking in was very easy. We are for sure going to return when we plan another trip up to Tennessee!
