    The home was very clean and in great condition. The drive to get to the house felt long and remote but the house was only 20/30 min from Franklin, and 40ish from downtown Nashville. There wasn't great signage letting you know which house was the right one, but once you find it it's easy. Very private property, we didn't pay for the hottub but in hindsight we would have. The owners were very communicative as well, so everything was easy.

    Check in was non existent. Wade was to send me instructions via text and did not. But for a neighbor out walking his dog we would have never found it. Upon arrival I found an empty coffee jar and reached out to see if anyone could bring us some since going to the store was not easy. Again received no help. Per the listing there is a balcony- there is not. King size bed- again there is not. We were given old beach towels for the hot tub and 1 towel each for our 4 day 3 night stay. The numerous fluffy white towels in the pictures don’t exist. Also no washer or dryer unless they were behind a locked door. Dishwasher was filthy as was the stove top. Dirty pans were in the oven. This place needs a deep cleaning.

    This was our honeymoon. We started out with the love shack. The hot tub did not work for the first three days we were there, then because I guess lack of rain we had sediment from the wells coming up through the toilets and the showers. The first three days at the shack, we were plunging the toilets and the showers. They moved us to a different cabin. That cabin was a bit nicer, but we went through an hour and a half of stress with Jonathan The owner because he did not want to give us an extra night of stay for all of the inconvenience we had gone through Including the extra expenses we paid for. Finally, he did and probably because of his wife. There was a gentleman who did everything in his power to help us. his name was Wade. He is a wonderful wonderful person on that property. We also had to supply a tank of gas for the outside gas grill at the love shack that we never even got to use. And the grill in the kitchen in the new cabin was absolutely gross and dirty. Leanne was a very nice person to deal with as well. We probably will not return in the future.

    The cabin was very clean. Loved the location. Very secluded. Would have liked some sort of covering over the patio and hot tub. It rained while we were there, would have been nice to sit out there and watch the rain. Great place to stay.

    Great remote cabin. Quiet and relaxing. The cabin was furnished with everything we needed for a great stay. The listing was very misleading with included amenities. Listing indicates a redneck pool and I confirmed with the host there was a pool onsite. However, there is no pool (there was a Rubbermaid tub smaller than a kiddie pool or bathtub) and the amenities are not on the property. You have to partner with a local organization to get access to rent paddle boats, canoe or other amenities. Aside from misleading amenities, I enjoyed and would recommend.

    What a wonderful cabin in the woods. The cabin was very clean had all the amenities we needed to cook with and anything else you could want. The property manager was extremely helpful,polite,kind and genuine. Would recommend this to ANYONE for a beautiful seclusion getaway still close enough to the city for fun

    Love how the property is secluded and the hot tub was very relaxing after a long drive. It was a perfect weekend getaway for us. We will be visiting this property again.

    Stayed here for a week and it was absolutely wonderful! The cabin is perfect and cozy and tucked into a little pocket of nature out in the woods. Not to mention its a short distance from Nashville which is an excellent city with tons to do. Staying here at the Love Shack has been one of the best vacations ive ever been able to experience, if you want a place to get away from it all and have a wondeful time, this is it.
