Perfect Relaxing Getaway

This rental was everything we could have asked for. The house is on the river, with nothing to obstruct the view. The owners provided everything we needed and more for our comfort. We were greeted with a tasty loaf of banana bread and a bottle of wine when we arrived. Followed shortly by a visit from Luna, the sweetest cat. And later Merle, a big, lovable dog. Both visited us every day. We plan to come back next year.

Great accommodations in a great hiking area

We chose this location and rental due to location and other great reviews. It is centrally located to many state parks but there is also the option to kayak right out the back door. Large windows overlook the river with beautiful sunrises. Great options for food and ice cream (our favorite treat) nearby.

Great getaway

Everything was great! It was a good place to get away from all the hustle and bustle. Savannah kept us in the loop despite all the stormy weather and it was overall a great experience! The boys loved Merle the dog and the cat that came and said hello every day!

Family reunion

The property was well equipped and it was a very nice touch that they provided a bottle of wine, a loaf of sourdough bread and a dozen fresh eggs for us-that really made us feel welcome. We did have a minor incident with the baby and one of the cats So we would say just be mindful about the mix of kids with the animals that stay on the porch Overall, we are very glad we picked the River House

We had a short trip for my daughter's birthday and loved our stay. The homemade bread and eggs were such a nice surprise when we arrived. Perfect location for a day trip to Rock Island. We had enough space and all we needed for our family of 5. Would recommend!

Felt like home!

My husband and 3 kids stayed at this cute and cozy home for 3 nights. We had a great stay. So many little details that made this feel like a home and not a rental. We loved the visits from Merle and the kitties. The fresh eggs and bread that were waiting for us when we got there was so sweet. We even got a special treat of fresh picked blackberries from the neighbor. I can’t say enough good things about this home. We would love to come stay again.

Amazing location with so much to do

The house was super cute! We were on the go most of our trip, but we did enjoy early mornings on the deck visiting with Merle the dog and Luna the cat and game nights around the adorable breakfast nook. We visited Farmer's Storehouse three times during our short visit (what a treasure!), enjoyed kayaking with Canoe the Caney, and hiked Burgess Falls, Falls Creek Falls, and Rock Island.

Absolutely beautiful home and property!!

This was the best stay we have ever experienced!! The house and property are beautiful. It is in a nice rural area that felt safe for our family trip. The location was also close to everything that we wanted to do (Falls Creek Falls, Burgess Falls, Lost Creek Falls etc.). The accommodations were above and beyond, (towels, blankets, lotion, kleenex, laundry soap etc.) including fresh eggs, bread and a bottle of wine. We took the kayak's down the beautiful and peaceful river, sat on the porch and enjoyed the morning view (sun), saw wild turkey's every day and a beaver (we think) on the river. Especially enjoyed the company of the resident fur kids (Merle the dog is an absolute delight, Luna the cat (is a boss) with her boys and the chickens)!! Also enjoyed meeting Jon (one of the owners) and visiting with him on occasion. Oh, and the online communication with Savannah was prompt and appreciated too!! We felt very comfortable and at home here. Highly recommend for relaxation and peace!! We will come back!!

Wedding weekend.

We needed to get together with family for our Grandson's wedding in Sparta. This house was perfect. We were 4 older adults and 2 young (18-21) grandchildren. The house was along the Calfkiller river. It was immaculate and well laid out. We were extremely happy with the whole experience. We had a fresh loaf of bread and a dozen fresh eggs waiting for us. The owners were onsite and very helpful in shopping and dinning suggestions. A truly lovely weekend!

River retreat

Very cozy and unique home. Beautiful views. Quiet area. Owners make you feel at home and spoil you with fresh baked bread on counter and farm fresh eggs in fridge. Perfect set up with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Great location near cookville and sparta. I wish i could bring pets but did get to love on a cute gray cat and pretty little australian shepherd that graced us with their presence one afternoon. Also a big black chicken was running in the yard one evening😂

What makes this property unique

Our home sits right along side the Calfkiller River, which is a 42.4 mile-long stream in the east-central portion of Middle Tennessee in the United States. It is a tributary of the Caney Fork, and is part of the Cumberland, Ohio, and Mississippi watersheds.
The Calfkiller River is great for fishing and kayaking, and you'll have access directly to the river right outside in the backyard.
