Short trip

We decided last minute to take a trip and found the cutest, coziest tiny home in Monteagle TN. This is just what our family needed. It was a nice relaxing getaway. The tiny home was decorated beautifully and was incredibly clean. Beautiful trails alongside of a creek. Would definitely come back.

Cozy house perfect for a weekend getaway!

This house is so cute and cozy. We felt warm and welcomed as soon as we stepped inside. It’s the perfect place to reconnect with each other and unplug for a couple of days. And the Deer Lick Falls trail to the waterfall was amazing. Could not have asked for a better place and I can’t wait for our next trip.

Wife’s Birthday

It was an excellent getaway for the wife’s birthday. The location was great as it is just a short hike from the falls and the property was great! Very clean and cozy with wonderful amenities. Great setup in the back with the porch and hot tub!

Big little tiny home

My daughters and I loved this place! They even chose to cook at home vs going out. Easy check in, close range to the caverns (highly recommend a cave tour here!) and waterfalls. The place was clean and modern. Adorable!

Cute and sweet

Great, cozy spot. Offers everything you need to enjoy a getaway in the woods. 4 stars because there was trash outside in the yard of the property (which I picked up), confusion with the WiFi due to sending me expired information and then insisting I was wrong, and because I found the cleanliness to be less than ideal. But overall, nice trip, great amenities.

The perfect weekend getaway!

What a wonderful weekend! We loved our stay at Summit & Shore House. It was in a great location (near popular restaurants High Point and Mountain Goat Market, as well as University of the South, the Caverns, and popular hiking trails). **THEY HAVE A HOT TUB** which wasn’t in the description when we booked. The main beds in these homes are queens but it was very comfortable. There was a kid’s area in the loft with two twin mattresses, a gaming chair and a TV. The AC and heat worked well. The fire pit was nice. They have smart TVs throughout. All-in-all, exactly what we were looking for: a quiet weekend with R&R!

Love the area, very praceful

My only complaint is it was very hard to control the A/C temperature and the bathroom shower did not drain well. Communication between with the property manager through VRBO when trying to check in two days early was difficult. The property manager was not receiving my messages through VEBO. It was clean and peaceful.

Perfect getaway!!

One night is not enough! We love the Monteagle area and all the hiking (Sewanne, south Cumberland park, savage gulch). After a full day of hiking we landed at elevation station and were amazed at how cozy and relaxing the accomodations were. All the essentials (coffee, comfortable bed, linens and towls were provided). We made time for a hike on the trails to the waterfalls which was perfect for a morning stroll. Only regret is that we didn't book for 2 nights. Hope to return!

Loved it!

The tiny house was super cute, clean and had everything you need provided. Loved the trails and waterfall right there on the property! Even though it was a community of houses ours (elevation station) still felt private and quiet. Will definitely be back. Family reunion would be awesome here!

Great - just missing a few essentials

All was great - communication, cleanliness, location, etc. Need more lamps and replacement bulbs. Overheard lighting too harsh and only 1 lamp in whole cabin with a flickering bulb. No iron or kleenex. Otherwise, great!
