Byrdstown, Tennessee
Comfortable 3 master bedroom log cabin, with wrap around covered porch, cook's kitchen, flower covered pergola next to the outdoor patio, fire pit and garden - all with stunning river views. Cabin sits in the midst of 100 foot canyon wall, with fishing and swimming feet from the back door or sit on the back porch listening to the water while watching the turtles sun themselves on the rocks. Private and charming, one of a kind location.
Very disappointed how dirty this place was. The beds weren't comfortable at all. Barely had enough hot water to fill hot tub. Then tue next person had to wait to shower. The twin bedroom had bugs all over it. Had 2 wash clothes for 4 days, they were all dirty and dingy looking. Tub upstairs didn't hold water. Why was the cabinets under sink filled with used bars of soap and other junk? Thats just plum disgusting. Night stand by bed was filled with who knows what?? DUST terrible on the books that were for guest to read. Some plug ins worked some flicked and some did nothing at all. The view and neighborhood was very nice. Our stay wasn't terrible, but could of been a lot better. FOR $300+ PER NIGHT I expected a whole lot better. Probably will not ever stay here again. I DO HAVE TO GIVE OWNER'S CREDIT FOR BEING VERY NICE AND SUPER FAST AT RESPONDING.
The view is beautiful and relaxing. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. The layout of the house is great. 2 neighborhood dogs visited occasionally, which was unexpected but ok. The lighting was a bit dim for our liking, and it wasn't as clean as we would have liked it to be, but other than that we enjoyed our stay.
Only change a couple things. The lighting was very dim. Add ac units upstairs. Freezing downstairs and hot upstairs. We loved the wraparound porch and the swing. The grill was an added bonus! We will be back.
This property was just beautiful and worked very well for our family’s mini vacation! If you like listening to the sound of a river flowing, this is the place for you! We all spent a lot of time on the deck listening to the river and watching all of the visiting hummingbirds. All places have pros and cons and one con to this property is the railing for the loft and the stairs railing coming down from the loft is not the safest for small children. Also, the property description should really say “3 bedrooms” and not “4 bedrooms” as an open loft is not a bedroom. Other than that, we really loved this place!
The location of the house and property were easy to navigate. Spacious wraparound porch, and phenomenal view - pictures of the view listed in this ad are accurate, but do not serve justice as to how spectacular they are in person. Great for dogs, lots of wildlife, and clean. John and Kathleen are great hosts! Very responsive and accommodating! It’s less than a 3 hour drive for us, so we’ll definitely return. Thanks, John & Kathleen, for a great stay!!!
Nature's at your doorstep. We were very content staying most days at the house enjoying the river for fishing, swimming, and short floats. There are many parks, trails, lakes, and other outdoor entertainment close by. Mammoth Cave is a 2 hr drive.
We experienced a lovely visit, despite the rainy weather. Such a serene, gorgeous area! Spent many hours walking along the babbling creek, hunting for fossils and floating on the water. The house had comfortable furnishings; I loved the eclectic style, so perfect for an upscale country cabin. A nicely appointed kitchen provided everything needed for cooking. The cabin was only a 20 minutes drive from the Sunset Marina area, where other family members stayed. Byrdstown, with an IGA grocery store and restaurants, was about 10-15 minute drive. And I obtained a weekly pass to the Twin Oaks Wellness Center in Albany, KY for rainy day workouts, only about 25 minutes away. Great location. And a wonderful stay! Although we didn’t travel with kiddos, this cabin and its location is perfect for entertaining children.
Thank you for sharing your lovely cabin with us! We had an amazing time making memories here and even got to include our four-legged family member, who loved river walking! The cabin was cozy and included nearly all the amenities we needed during our stay! From the washer/dryer to the pots/pans in the kitchen to a fire pit outside - this place was just wonderful! I highly recommend this cabin to anyone who wants to unplug from technology (although I worries - there is great internet and Direct TV!) and connect with nature! Plenty for the kids to do and explore! In addition to the cabin, we also rented a pontoon boat from Sunset Marina and spent the day on Dale Hollow Reservoir and went caving at the Cordell Hull State Park (does require a permit, but it is free). Thanks again - would definitely return!
This property is magical! It is even better than the pictures. The hosts are easy to talk with, and the property is perfectly cared for. My sister, me, and our children stayed for nearly a week and have already planned to return next year. The sound of the water and easy access to the water are perfect. We highly recommend this house!
The house was charming and comfortable for our family of 4 including 2 children, the property was beautiful, and the river so relaxing. The owners are very responsive and helpful with any questions we had during our stay. We really enjoyed getting ice cream at the forbus general store, and a lovely morning tour of the lavender at k and a farm (highly recommend checking that out). We would definitely love to come back!
First, although the photos posted are great, photos cannot do this little slice of heaven justice. The property is well kept, clean, and inviting. Just beautiful!
Great
We have stayed at several cabins in the smokies but done compared to this one. We were totally impressed with the inside and outside of the property, loved having the river at the back yard so relaxing. And yes we will come back.
The location was perfect for the getaway we were looking for! If I could give it a 10 for location, I definitely would! This house is beautiful and very family friendly! We loved the stay and would definitely stay again!
We love staying at this beautiful home. Great spaces inside and out. Great communication with the owners.
Owners are great to deal with
The home was beautiful and conveniently located for using Sunset Marina for our boat! Property was clean and had everything we needed!
This property was exactly as described, but even better in person! The cabin was clean and very well appointed. Loved having coffee on the back patio with the sound of the river and the beautiful view. Every morning after our coffee, our German Shepard would bark at us to let us know he was ready to go to the river, our daily excursion! Our dog LOVED it and we really enjoyed watching him play in the river. This place offered the perfect combination of rustic/outdoors that my husband loves, and modern cabin with all the amenities! The cabin had great water pressure and temperature, and the wifi worked well, which surprised us with the cabin located in a canyon in a remote area. The owners were easy to get in contact with and quick to respond to any questions. We definitely want to return next summer!
We had a great time! Our girls loved playing in the creek and being so close to boating at Dale Hollow. I wish the upstairs would have been cleaned a bit better, hair on the shower walls and the like. But everything else was great. My only suggestion, I wish there was a way to block off part of the deck to make it even more dog friendly. We would have used the deck a whole lot more if we could have done that. Thanks for opening your home to us! We had a great stay.
Family vacation and we had a wonderful time floating around in the water and kayaking. At night sitting around the fire eating s’mores added so many nice memories for us. Love this place!! Can’t wait to return!!
