    Great spot in Sparta by the river. Watched turkeys every morning while eating our fresh eggs from the host/neighbor. Thank you all for making our family wedding long weekend even more memorable. Would definitely go back to hike more waterfalls. Tell Merle and Luna we said “hi!”

    Our stay at this Riverside cabin in Sparta, Tennessee was everything we hoped for and more. Nestled in the mountains with the river just steps away, the setting was peaceful, private, and absolutely beautiful. We’d wake up every morning and had coffee on the deck, taking in nature at its finest. Turkeys, chickens, birds and squirrels provided wonderful entertainment. We were even fortunate enough to see a bald eagle. Greeted daily by Merle, the dog and Luna and Cinco the cats. They added such love and fun to our stay. The cabin was spotless and comfortable. Thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. John and Nancy were responsive and kind and can tell they truly care about this place and the guest having a great experience. This was the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. We would highly recommend this vacation spot. Ron,Sharon,Rick and Vicki from St. Petersburg and South Pasadena Florida

    This was our second time staying here, and it was as amazing as the first time. The house is beautiful, clean, and right on the river. We were greeted with fresh banana bread and a dozen fresh eggs. We love our visits from Luna and Merle. And there is so much to do in the area!

    The owners were very kind and welcoming. It was so nice to have things like toilet paper that I didn’t have to replace with my own because it was so horrible lol, enough supplies like toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, etc to last for our time there. Homemade banana bread on the counter when we arrived was a lovely surprise. Ventured out on the kayaks which was nice but challenging to get in and out of.

    This is a very comfortable home and everything we needed was there. Communication with the host was great. We really enjoyed the out side cats who visited at least 2x day. It was nice to use the kayaks on the river. We would definitely stay again.

    This house is so interesting and amazing! Well thought out design and space. It was very clean and the host was very communicative. We even enjoyed the daily fur baby visits. And thank you so much for the gift of delicious bread on the counter. We will certainly stay here again on our next family visit.

    The house and property were wonderful! The hosts thought of everything, kitchen had everything you need or would want. There was fresh picked tomatoes and homemade bread to welcome us! The view of the river was so relaxing, and the use of the kayaks was so much fun! The only thing I would have wanted different was to get the check in information the night before. I highly recommend if your looking for a great place to stay and enjoy family time!

    We had a wonderful stay at the River House. Beautiful property, all amenities provided, great location to explore Middle Tennessee. Sparta is small but has some great restaurants and is close to larger towns for more shopping/restaurants. Loved the daily visits from the dog, Merle, the cat and the chickens. This rental is one of the best we’ve stayed at. Highly recommend!

    Awesome location!! My hubby enjoyed every minute of fishing on the river conveniently situated in the backyard. Lovely deck to enjoy our morning coffee. The hosts thought of everything needed for their guests. One of the best Vrbos we have stayed in and we highly recommend it! The hosts very extremely nice and made us feel so welcome. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in TN

    This rental was everything we could have asked for. The house is on the river, with nothing to obstruct the view. The owners provided everything we needed and more for our comfort. We were greeted with a tasty loaf of banana bread and a bottle of wine when we arrived. Followed shortly by a visit from Luna, the sweetest cat. And later Merle, a big, lovable dog. Both visited us every day. We plan to come back next year.

    We chose this location and rental due to location and other great reviews. It is centrally located to many state parks but there is also the option to kayak right out the back door. Large windows overlook the river with beautiful sunrises. Great options for food and ice cream (our favorite treat) nearby.
