Hohenwald, Tennessee
The Natchez Trace Parkway is a 444-mile drive through exceptional scenery and 10,000 years of North American history. Today, visitors can enjoy scenic drives, hiking, cycling, motorbiking, kayaking, canoeing and camping. In October, the National Park hosts the annual Oktober Fest festival. In recent years beautiful and hip wineries nearby provide the area with wonderful tasting room experiences, destination wedding venues as well as many fun activities and weekend entertainment. Take in a tour of the Jack Daniels distillery located an hour and a half away in Lynchburg. The surrounding area offers many quaint small towns. In the nearby town of Lawrenceburg there is a thriving Amish community that offer their crafts, produce and preserves. The Tennessee river offers unlimited boating and fishing possibilities and is within an hour away. This truly is a secluded getaway for those eager to disconnect, but not too far from the beautiful and historic city of Franklin which is about an hour's drive away. Perfect for a fun drive to or from Nashville, Memphis and Birmingham. All within 2 hours away.
The house was very nice and just as advertised. It is close to the Meriwether Lewis Burial site and the trails in the National Park. It was raining when we visited, so we did not get to enjoy the deck. Our dogs loved being able to walk down to the river behind the house. It was not comfortable walking up and down the street because the neighbors have their dogs out and we were not sure if they were friendly. The dogs did not bother us at the house or down by the river. Owner was very excellent with communication and would highly recommend.
The location was very quiet and rural which was the only good thing. Did not know until we got there that living area and kitchen were on two different floors and stairs are narrow and steps are different heights. It was only after renting that we found out depending on time of year there can be a problem with insects which would have made a huge difference as to whether we would have risked renting. Communication with owner was another disappointment. We will not be returning. I would not consider location near anything but Hohenwald and Merriweather Lewis' burial site.
The property was perfect for our weekend event. We had a cookout on the deck with family and friends… was nice with the shaded deck. Hot time of the year and the AC was incredible! The place was clean and all amenities were as advertised and worked as listed. Highly recommend staying at this house, we hope to return some day. Thank you! Larry Johnson
Rental was easy. Property had everything that it said it had. Quite location and no problem with bugs.
The property is very pretty and the surrounding area too. The home was clean. But we did have a bit of a glitch checking in but that was resolved. The main issues we had that there was zero communication from the host. I had written a few emails before the out trip and tried to call also no response. We had hoped to use the fireplace but when my husband read me the number I said no don’t start it, it’s the same number I have that I have tried with no luck. The other issue we had (and can happen) is that the drain pipe on the left hand side of the sink was completely detached and the water and soap were going over the pots and pans but again I knew we were not going to get any help from the Host. Lucky we the help of my husband he was able to “fix” it the best he could with no tools. We won’t stay here again for several reasons but the home was clean, the house is decorated nicely and if your into lots of history this spot is very good. Just keep in mind there is NO reception. We worked around it but if you have younger children or teens this might be an issue.
The high points of our stay were visits to Meriwether Lewis Historic site and short hike to the Buffalo River. We had to be creative with the seating for our 6 family members, but it all worked well.
We very much enjoyed our stay! Had a wonderful time! Very clean and pretty cabin!!
Care taker and owner were very nice, however it takes the min of 1 hr to travel for food, 1.5 hr min to do any activities outside of hiking. Distillery 2.5+ hrs away and very limited access to internet and no mobile phone services. Cannot reset the internet or cable as it is glued to the furniture. Fireplace does not work well and caused so much smoke in the cabin it caused sore throats. The deck is falling apart and not safe to walk on. No Tv in master and living room tv has limited channels (mostly home shopping) and parental code placed on most channels and no code provided. The BIGGEST issue is the cabin is it is in another time zone that was NOT communicated. We received solicitation calls to the home the moment we entered and were called promptly at 11 am EST with an 11 AM check out time and the cabin was Central time so it was only 10 am when called. We were not able to check into the cabin until nearly 4pm EST, 3pm Central time. The AC leaked and no firewood was provided, only old previously burned wood. The stairs within the cabin were very slippery and when grabbing the hand rail, it moved. Fruit from neighbor's tree fell on my car and over the sidewalk. Trash from previous attendant filled the outside trash leaving barely any room for our trash so we had to keep everything inside until we left out of bear of bears or other animals. Upon leaving, I was asked to text a phone number to advise I had left, and the number was not working. No numbers were left to contact the home owner outside of that number. Very disappointed in what we received for the money spent.
Owner was very easy to communicate with. The property is well cared for and is conveniently located to some great historical sites. We had a wonderful stay.
The house was beautiful,clean,and cozy. It was very peaceful out in the country. The host was great and quick to respond to questions.
