Great home near downtown Sparta

This 2 bedroom / 2 bath home is very clean and steps away from downtown Sparta. Walked to the coffee shop, wood-fired pizza place and other shops. Nice porch, sat on it with my labrador every morning and night. We visited with family that lives nearby.

Great house and location

The house was as good as the pics in the listing. Very nice, and hosts were always available. Location to the town square was great and in quick walking distance to the Coffee Collective for breakfast, Marioochi’s Pizza for dinner, and Happy Trails Brewing for beer and a burger. All were great! Very friendly town too.

Great Rental

This property is absolutely gorgeous and it’s centrally located to all the cool things to explore in this area of TN. After exploring nature’s beauty (anything from Cumberland Caverns to Burgess Falls), clean up in one of two beautifully modeled bathrooms, relax by the outdoor fire and get a great night’s sleep in superb bedding. Enough room to feel spacious with thoughtful decor to make it feel cozy. A+++

Downtown Liberty Square 3 Day Getaway

We love how Dog Friendly this property is! All the little added dog touches were much appreciated. They loved sunbathing out back. If you have small dogs they may be able to get out under the fence and through the rails on the back porch. Ours didn’t have that problem! The house was plenty big enough for us and the other couple with their dog. The home was right in downtown next to Liberty Square with in walking distance. Several places to eat and shop, but for whatever reason pretty much everything around the square closes on Sunday. Cookeville is a short distance North up Spring Street. We stayed in the second bedroom and the bed seemed firm to me. The other couple said the king was fine. Loved the big fluffy bath towels! There was YouTube Live and games available to play. Coffee Pods and snacks were there for us to use and even a bowl for water and food for the dog. They honestly thought of everything. We have stayed at several homes and this one was very nice! Thank you for being such a wonderful host!

Charmed, We're Sure!

Charming cottage home, charming town!We chose this home due to its location to so many waterfalls in middle TN. We wanted a quick getaway with our daughter and pups! This home was perfect! From the decor to having everything and more for our dogs to enjoy (they loved the backyard and morning walk around the town square). We enjoyed breakfast on the back patio and evening tea on the front porch. We loved being able to walk for great options whether it was shopping, grabbing a drink at a brewery or dinner next door. Sparta is a quiet community we used as our base for daily hikes. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked for meals together. The layout of the home is great for gathering and reconnecting. We'd absolutely stay here again the next time we visit middle TN!

AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN

The house was amazing---warm, clean, comfortable and beautiful. Such effort put into every detail of the design. Each night we had a fire outside or sat on the porch during the day. The location was perfect...we loved the coffee shop around the corner, the pizza place and the clothing store. The house was great---really great but this stay was about the host. She is amazing. Before I got there she responded to everything, sent me recommendations like the pizza place and while we there, we needed her for something and she went ABOVE AND BEYOND. A great host and human. We are planning to meet there annually and stay in this house.

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Amy and I love Tennessee! I'm Jeremy's (the owner of the cottage) awesome manager of this wonderful property. I've traveled the world and seen breathtaking landscapes but I still find the beauty of the Upper Cumberland peaceful and awe inspiring. In the past I've been a geologist, tour guide in Alaska, and a professional photographer but now I have the joy of showing guests all that the area has to offer during their visit. I'm happily married and have a wonderful little boy and we enjoy camping, hiking and bike riding! I'm happy to answer any questions and look forward to helping you enjoy TN!

Why they chose this property

This historic property is steps away from downtown Sparta, TN. Right in the heart of this quaint and charming town, it's a great getaway from the hustle of a busy city. We are sharing this cottage with travelers so they can have a "home away from home" place to visit friends and family, or while exploring the area and finding new adventures.

What makes this property unique

The cottage has a wide porch with rockers where guests can drink their coffee in the morning and a fire pit in the back to enjoy s'mores at night. Full modern kitchen with large farmhouse table, ping pong table, laundry room, two spacious bedrooms, fireplace in the living room, fully fenced back yard with dining table out on the porch along with corn hole in the yard, and a lounge deck on the back porch.
