Beautiful location - great back porch to sip coffee on in the morning. We saw a bald eagle flying over the river each on each day of our stay. The cabin was comfortable and had all the stuff you need to feel at home on a short getaway. The owner was also very responsive to my questions. We would definitely stay here again.

This was our 3rd or 4th stay at the cabin, and my family really likes it. It's always clean and stocked with the necessities for the weekend. The beds are all comfy. We enjoyed fishing and the campfires at night. We even saw a family of river otters swim by. It's the perfect place to unwind and not too far from the city.

Remote cottage with a country feel

We enjoyed the stay. It's nestled in a farm field and surrounded by hills. Sitting outside on the back deck was very relaxing. We plan on staying here again.

Caney Fork Retreat

Great location for annual retreat with friends. Proximity to Caney Fork was important so we could fish and kayak and this property didn't disappoint. Comfortable furniture and well-stocked kitchen. We'll be back!

Beautiful Cabin on the river

The peace and quiet of this cabin is unmatched. The house is clean and fully stocked with all you can need. The porch provides a wonderful view of the river and The Valley. We saw animals of all kinds and found some peace and quiet like we have not found in some time.

Thanksgiving break

Very clean property. We appreciated that everything appeared and felt clean in the cabin. The property provided a restful atmosphere. All necessary items to cook were provided in the kitchen and there were plenty of towels for our group. There were extra blankets which we were very grateful to have. Plenty of food and grocery stores around the area.

Sun, wind and fire

The sunny June wkend- slightly windy afternoons and perfect campfire were an amazing sweet touch to the stay with a few young ladies from church group. The kayaks added a great opportunity to enjoy nature. The cabin was so clean and cozy. A wonderful reminder of the last visit I had two years ago with another group of girls. Thank you so much, once again I am already planning the next visit. Virginia T.

Beautiful cabin and surroundings.

We had an amazing time at the cabin. It was very spacious and cozy. We had the chance to experience a white Christmas while there and the views were just breathtaking. The property owners went far and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our stay. They are very good people. This little town had everything we needed for our stay, groceries, gas, and convenience stores. It’s a quick drive to Nashville, Knoxville, Chattanooga and to beautiful state parks. We took a day trip to the Great Smoky Mountains and had a great time. Overall we truly enjoyed our stay at this cabin!

Cute cabin on the river. Clean, comfortable and with the perfect back porch including a hanging swing. There was also a hammock between the trees. Both are perfect to relax and watch the river from. Quiet private setting in the woods. While we didn’t use the grill or fire circle they were available for those wanting them.
