We had an amazing relaxing getaway at the red cabin! Bill is absolutely amazing and keeps the property in immaculate condition. We had everything we needed and then some. We enjoyed relaxing mornings on the wrap around porch admiring the deer, cozy fires at the fire pit at night, walking the peaceful trails in the woods, looking at the Milky Way at night, and sipping bourbon at the amazing view point during sunset. We had a much needed spiritual break from the every day stress. Thank you Bill!

A perfect summer vacation

Host has thought of everything in this perfect retreat in the woods. My sister and I loved curling up under one of the big cozy blankets and enjoying coffee on the porch. After coffee it was a morning hike to the breathtaking overlook. The house is perfectly comfortable and every detail is thought of by this gracious host.

Perfect Respite

Fantastic stay - cabin was exactly as described and pictured, immaculately clean, and very easy to find. Hosts were top-notch hospitable and have done an amazing job tailoring their property to create a wonderful experience. The property is far enough out to get away from light and noise pollution, enjoy watching the stars from the fire pit! Close drive to Fall Creek Falls. Be sure to stop at Publix in Cookeville on your way in to stock up so you can fully enjoy a time of rest and respite.

Fantastic experience!

Our cabin was just perfect - clean, comfortable, well-equipped. The property is beautiful. We love to go to the mountains every fall to hike, and there is a mile+ hike to a beautiful overlook site on the property. We were close to Rock Island State Park, Savage Gulf State Park, and Fall Creek Falls, so there were lots of options for hiking and beautiful scenery. The hosts were fantastic, available for any issues that arose (the gate malfunctioned one day). Highly recommend this property!

Much needed getaway

This cabin and the scenery is absolutely wonderful. If you are looking for a quiet place to relax and take in nature this place is for you. It's obvious the owners have spared no expense to make their property nothing short of spectacular. Very clean, and neat and if you are a porch sitter like I am you have a wrap around porch for your enjoyment day or night. Would highly recommend and I will definitely be going back
