Writers Cabin 4BR - opt Hot Tub/Hiking Trails

The area is beautiful. Peaceful and quiet. We saw deer on the way in! And, The property itself could be wonderful but it needs a deep clean and some attention to details. Beds were incredibly hard with cheap sheets. Trash under the beds and behind chairs. Cheap, rough towels. Yard crew should not be scheduled while guests are present, woke up both sleeping babies. Dirty silverware in drawer and dirty dishes in dishwasher Trash under china cabinet, behind island in kitchen, under beds and dressers……Coffee maker filthyBack door and basement door won’t lock(thank goodness they sent someone to fix it the next day but we had to prop a chair under the back door overnight. )Something (critter) chewed on the kitchen trash bag over night. I’m assuming it was a mouse since there were mouse droppings in the bedroom. Downstairs shower goes hot/cold. There’s no way the owners think this property is ready to be rented.

It was a wonderful property and people

Although the wonderful commendations we left, it was a bit cumbersome that there were not enough kitchen utensils to cook properly, and it was I convenient that we brought firewood when the fireplace was not operable (one of the main reasons we decided on this cabin). Also, not a verbo fan at all. Very disconnected if you do not want to download the app.

No issues . Everything was as advertised. Exactly what we needed

The place was perfect for our needs. Nothing says a Tennessee experience like a cabin in the hills! This place was awesome, everything worked out just fine! My only minor complaint was the lack of cell service, but that only added to the secluded feel!

We loved the location, size, and peacefulness of the property. We did some hiking, creek-walking, fed the animals on the farm, and also drove into Nashville, Franklin, and Leiper's Fork for some music and shopping. The people we met at check in (Wade and Nerissa) were awesome - pleasant, friendly, informative and helpful throughout our stay. We were hopeful to use the kayaks/canoes/paddleboards on Lake Gratitude, with the CSS, but unfortunately they had stopped offering that option just prior to our arrival. If this is something you're looking for, ask about availability prior to booking. Nonetheless, we enjoyed the morning coffee on the porch, the wildlife, and the beautiful countryside. Oh, and the new hot tub as well :) Sounds like they're looking to continue to improve the trails and the experience through CSS, so if you're looking for an escape from city/suburban life (which we were), and can handle some nature, this is a nice option. If you're looking for the modern facilities and niceties of a 4 or 5 star hotel, this may not be for you. We, however, enjoyed our stay, and loved working with Wade and Nerissa to maximize our week.

The owners were good it was ok

The check in process is a bit strange as they want to meet you and talk to you, which can be arduous after a long drive. especially in the time of Covid. That being said, Wade was very personable. The amenities listed include a hot tub, however you have to read the fine print as the hot tub is not located on the property but in a retreat down the road, that has normal business hours so if you want to relax in a hot tub in the evening you are out of luck, had I known this I would have booked another property. you also aren't allowed to use the fireplace, and there is no outdoor fire pit on site. Also it was strange that after checking in and beginning our amorous weekend we were disturbed by the sound of someone letting themselves in the cabin door. This put my girlfriend on edge for the rest of the evening. He did not knock, just started letting himself in. This is a problem. Overall it was a great weekend with a few hiccups. I would recommend this rental but be sure to read the fine print.

We had a great time at the cabin! Lots of room, clean, and the porch is great for sitting and taking in nature.
