Marvelous property!
This property was absolutely marvelous! The property itself is very beautiful with rolling hills, cattle grazing, flowering trees, the creek, a few small waterfalls, some wildlife and quiet! We never got a chance to use the firepit or the big backporch...it was cold in the evenings and we were busy until late each day...but they would have both been very fun to use. The house was spacious, the beds comfortable, lots of windows facing the back of the property, and Dawn went out of her way to meet our needs. We love waterfalls and were able to visit 5 in the area! I would recommend this get away to anyone!

Much better than photos represent. Great little get-away!
The relaxing sound of the creek when sitting on the back porch is amazing! The "little" waterfalls on the property were much bigger than I expected and there's a nice little bench for relaxing/viewing! Restaurants not too far away. Nearby state parks are well worth the drive! Owner is very responsive to messages - even called the Fire Dept for us to see what they were serving for breakfast. (Speaking of which, the Fire Dept breakfast was GREAT! For $10 you receive (all/any): eggs made-to-order, ham, sausage, bacon, pancakes, sausage gravy with homemade biscuits, chocolate gravy, hashbrowns, selection of drinks. One of the volunteers mentioned that all of the fire departments in area do it up big like this, so you might see what you can find on a weekend that local one isn't serving.)

Just a Tennessee girl who loves Jesus, family and Tennessee Vols football. We are a fire service family and support all first responders.

Why they chose this property

Our property is the perfect place to get away from the hustle of life. The quietness, the wildlife and peace at our property will rejuvenate you. At any given time you will see deer, foxes, eagles, turkeys and of course there is cattle adjacent to our property.The fence on the side of the property with the cattle is an electric fence. Please don't touch.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the covered back deck as you watch the creek flow. It's always a good 20 degrees cooler on the deck. There is plenty of wood in the shed to use for the fire pit or if it's raining, sit on the front porch and listen to the waterfalls while the rain hits the metal roof.
