Lovely Country Cabin

This cabin was in a beautiful location and was easy to access- they plowed the drive well after a snowstorm! It was also decorated with a cohesive vision, very country and cute. Very clean! I would recommend this cabin to someone looking to stay outside of Nashville.

Beautiful! Everything you could want: peace, quiet, very secluded. Our dog loved the play toys and the outdoors. We stayed put in the modern, yet rustic home just to get away from everything. Best place we’ve ever stayed!

Perfect Stay

Loved our stay with Marissa. The house is the perfect cabin in the woods with a beautiful grounds, comfortable furnishings, a cozy fireplace, welcoming porches, and thoughtful touches throughout. We particularly appreciated the considerations for dogs at the house - the gate to block off the top floor was heaven-sent! Location is wonderful as well if you're looking to get away from city an road noise. We will be back for sure.
