About this property
Tennessee Mountain Home in Beautiful Wooded Setting
"The mountains are calling and I must go." (John Muir)
Tennessee Mountain Home is located on the Cumberland Plateau, 3 miles from the south entrance to Fall Creek Falls State Park in Van Buren County, Tennessee. It is situated on 3 acres in a wooded setting.
We are now making it available as a vacation rental when not in use by members of our family. It is the closest rental to the park's south entrance. The nightly rate is $125 and is based on double occupancy. Stay a full week and receive a 15% discount! There is a two-night minimum. Additional guests may stay, but you'll need to contact owners for info regarding that. We do not charge a cleaning fee. We do ask our guests to leave our mountain house in order and reasonable clean - mainly all trash placed in the outside receptacle with lid securely attached - all used kitchen items washed, dried, and put away - or simply left in the drainer to dry. If our guests will assist us in this way, we will be able to continue not charging a cleaning fee. We also do not require a damage deposit and hope that will continue to be the case.
This welcoming little house was completed in the fall of 2017. It was custom built by some of our Mennonite neighbors. It has 720 square feet of living space, a 125 square feet covered back deck, and a 130 square feet concrete patio complete with an outdoor fireplace. You're going to love sitting by a crackling fire in the evenings, listening to the whippoorwills, and watching the occasional deer wander through. As the day settles into evening there is a noticeable stillness and quietness that is so relaxing. On a clear night it's a wonderful place for viewing the star-lit sky.
The house has one bedroom with a queen size bed. There is one bathroom with a tub/shower combo. Bed linens are provided, as well as towels & wash cloths, and dish towels & dish cloths. There is a sofa in the living area. It is NOT a sofa bed. There is also a swivel rocker and ottoman. A smart TV makes it easy for you to access your favorite shows/movies using your personal subscription passwords. Remember to sign out before you check-out
A landline phone is available along with complimentary WiFi via high speed fiber optics service.
The kitchen is stocked with basic cooking and serving supplies. Heating and air-conditioning is provided via a Carrier high wall ductless split system. There is also a wood burning (electric) stove for ambiance and optional heat. Cuddle up in the winter months or open the windows in mild weather to enjoy the refreshing mountain breeze.
Water for the house is provided via a well on the property. It was tested at Tennessee Technological University and is also filtered.
A charcoal grill is on-site but you will need to bring your own charcoal. You will also need to bring your own firewood if you plan to use the fireplace. There are places nearby that sell firewood.

About the host
Hosted by Joe and Nancy Moffitt
Joe and Nancy both grew up in this community. They went their separate ways, married, raised families, both became teachers, worked together, and their families shared a close friendship. Later in life, they reconnected after both were widowed, fell in love, decided to marry, and are enjoying a wonderful new experience in a new and exciting way. They enjoy hiking in the area and the quiet life that comes from living in the woods.
Why they chose this property
This small house is situated on 3 acres of a larger piece of property that once belonged to Joe's parents and one of his grandfathers. It has been a labor of love to clear the land and build the house.
What makes this property unique
We are the closest rental to the south entrance of Fall Creek Falls State Park (the most visited of all Tennessee's parks) where there is an array of outdoor activities such as golfing, boating, hiking, biking, swimming, tennis, etc. Our house is located in the woods, 1/4 mile off the Parkway (Hwy 284).
Fall Creek Falls Riding Stable is only 1/2 mile away. In addition, many other attractions are nearby. Canopy Challenge Course is located inside the park. Dead Zero Shooting Park, ISHA USA , Rock Island State Park, Burgess Falls State Park, the scenic Sequatchie Valley, and the unique offerings of the nearby Mennonite community are just a short drive away.
