Great Location for attending a show @ The Caverns

The cabin was great for an overnight stay to see a show at The Caverns. About a 5-10 minute drive to caverns. We felt very safe in that development. We also took a great hike to the falls before going to the show. We were challenged with getting the air conditioning going (not their fault). However, we put in a call and while we were at the concert, we came back and everything was good to go.

Very cozy tiny house.

Comfortable space away from the city with a very nice property and firepit area. I appreciated they cleanliness of the furniture, dishes, towels, and bathrooms. We were gone most of the days we stayed and wish we would have spent more time just hanging out at the tiny house. My only complaint is the lawn crew working with machines from 7am to 11am right off our property one morning. I realize that this work needs to be done at some point, so I understand. It was just noisey during that time. Overall great experience.

A cute tiny home that met all our needs. It was clean and easy to get to. We enjoyed visiting The Caverns, Monteagle, and Sewanee. There is a trail on the property where you can hike to a small waterfall. Make sure to check out South Cumberland State park, great hiking!

The Retreat At Deer Lick Falls

Wonderful vacation spot. Home was very comfortable. They had everything. S’mores sticks, lantern, blender, duraflame for fire pit, corkscrew, etc. Beds were comfortable, and the place is located in a very quiet, scenting spot. We loved the fire pit. Shower was awesome! Water pressure fantastic. Will definitely go back.

Worst experience we have ever had!

First, let me say we were so looking forward to our stay here and were hoping that this would be our “go to place” to just get away. We are not particularly picky or hard to please. In the end this has been one of the worst experiences we have ever had, and we have stayed in some questionable spots before. PROS - there were so few that we might as well start with these. –Excellent working WiFi –Covered front porch that looks out to the woods with fairly comfortable furniture. –A great hike to the waterfalls and cable ropes along the route to help you. –They have an app available that offers a lot of great generic information. Unfortunately, it left out a decent map. –The gentleman who came to fix the AC was very polite and respectful. He offered the only decent customer service we received during our entire stay. –Nature CONS – PITCH BLACK AND HARD TO FIND. We arrived after the sun had gone down and everything was pitch black. There were only a few lights on in a couple of the homes. While this is a benefit after you have arrived it isn’t helpful when you are new to the community. An explanation in the welcome email of how the homes are labeled and what to look for would have fixed this issue. – WELCOME EMAIL DIDN’T PROVIDE ENOUGH INFORMATION AND WAS CONFUSING IN AREAS. The map I received in my welcome email did not provide enough detail, and I could not zoom in on what detail was provided. The address of the retreat and the address of the home were not clearly marked in the welcome email. – HOMES NOT MARKED TO BE SEEN EASILY AT NIGHT. We could not initially see any Lot or house number posts. During the day we discovered the house number was located on the dark exterior wall under the porch light in black numbers. There are posts located at the front of the drive that have solar-powered lights that point toward the reflective house numbers/lot numbers. Unfortunately most of the posts are not angled to catch the lights from an oncoming car and the solar powered lights were not working the night before. The posts are between 2’-3’ tall. – POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. When we contacted customer service, we were only repeatedly told to look for landmarks we could not see. She seemed apathetic at best. – NO PORCH LIGHTS LEFT ON AND NO WELCOMING FEEL. We were finally able to locate ours after a little bit more driving and pulling into the wrong drives . No porch lights were left on for us to make it more inviting, and only one small lamp was left on ins

Quiet.

Amazing little neighborhood in the middle of nowhere. We were attending a concert in the Caverns so it was close by. We hiked in the neighborhood and it was very challenging! The lake is not in this part but close by and we went paddle boarding. Loved this place. I did need medical care and it was challenging.
