Very relaxing quiet neighborhood.
My family stays in about 4-5 vacation rentals a year and always enjoy our stays. In fact, I have never left a negative review but felt like I needed to warn others. We have stayed in this house in the past and enjoyed it but this time was different. We were supposed to stay 2 nights over the holidays during a very cold spell. The first night was fine but we woke up and it was 57 degrees in the house. After engaging emergency heat the temperature continued to fall. Also the pipes completely froze even with the water running on all the faucets! When we decided to leave about 10 am the first day, the temperature had fallen to 51 degrees in the house. I understand weather events are not the fault of the owner, but heat is a basic necessity. We were in town visiting relatives and they all had warm homes and running water. We had to move to a hotel and the rental company refused a refund for the night we couldn’t stay in the house. My husband had to return to the house a couple hours after we left to look for something and it was so cold in the house he could see his breath! It was a major disruption to our holiday events.
We had a nice fall break getaway with the family and enjoyed nearby hiking. We had a few issues but communicated them to management for repair/fixing.
My wife and enjoyed the serenity we were able to experience. We really enjoyed having breakfast on the back porch sun room.
The family, including dogs, had a great time at nearby dog friendly hikes. Thank you Ms Robin!
Wonderful place to get away and relax for a few days and we were able to take our pets and loved going up and down the stairs
We absolutely loved our stay at this amazing cabin! It felt secluded but still close to the interstate. You can tell the cabin is cared for because it was spotless when we arrived. The only thing we would have liked the cabin to have would be curtains in the downstairs bedroom. There wasn’t any privacy due to that. Other than that one thing, our stay was perfect. I highly recommend!
If you want to slow down in life this is the place
We absolutely loved this Cabin! The kitchen is phenomenal. The pictures in the listing really don't do this place justice. There's a room designated just for dogs that is perfect and we instantly regretted not bringing our dog with us but, will next time because we will definitely be back again soon! We had plenty of Hot water and the bathroom is large. The only thing that we didn't care for was the Clawfoot tub/shower. A walk-in shower would actually make that Cabin completely Perfect! My husband stated multiple times during our stay, that he wanted to buy that house! That's no somehting he says often!
I was very impressed with the property and location. It was absolutely beautiful.
We enjoyed the cabin, the atmosphere, and the state park near by! Perfect place to get some peace and quite and spend some time with family. Wish we could have stayed longer! The porches and sun rooms where my favorite rooms. I’d say the bathroom rugs need to be replaced but all and all it was a wonderful stay. Had everything we needed for what we wanted to do while we enjoyed our stay in the beautiful state of Tennessee. Thanks for hosting! Would definitely recommend to a friend.
