About this property

Serene & comforting - Dogwood Cottage Awaits "you n yours!" Welcome!

DogWood cottage, is located at 1615 Bullpen Road. Woodbury TN 37190. The short uphill entrance lane is decorated with a few dogwood trees on either side, ending with superb Japaneze Maple on either side of the lane, then a Swanson Cherry tree as you bear right nearing the cottage.
Great amenities, spacious combined kitchen & dining room with a beautiful kitchen wood stove - (a replica only of antique hue), giving guests a "feel" of meaningful imaginitive "good ole days". You will appreciate a large living room as well.
While we limit the cottage to 4 people, we do not mind if you have more children. If the 2 beds are full, they are welcome to sleep on the sofas in the living room, on a blanket on the floor etc. - we strive to accommodate the entire family!
◇ However, you must consult us if you desire to book more than four - and always state how many are in your booking! Use VRBO to message us!
◇ No smoking anywhere in the cottage or on the premises! This is also a drug free place!
◇ One pet per booking. We ask that you leave us $25.00 in cash or check on the table when you check out. If you want to bring more than one pet, consult us via VRBO.
You must inform us if you bring pets, as we change out the living room rug (etc.) - using a different rug for pet stay versus pet free. But, both rugs are very nice!
♡ Please read every other description and rules that pertain to Dogwood Cottage on this site!!
Much of this cottage's interior walls and ceiling is lined with smokey mountain style tongue n groove varnished pine, enjoy the feel and look of real wood. Relax and "sit a spell" on the scenic front porch with a roof, overlooking Bullpen Road.
On a quiet night you might hear the soft flow of Bullpen Creek, perhaps see the sparkling glitter of its water rapids through the trees as the full moon sheds its night glow upon the brook - not to mention the stately trees and sloping landscape toward the sun set in the west. Then there's the secluded open deck on the south side to relax on, read a book, talk your hearts away, even pray together or have a meaningful solo time. The deck also offers a meadow view and stately trees. In the near distance you will enjoy a farm scene of several red, white and green barns! They provide shelter for goats, puppies, bantams (sometimes horses), and multi-colored free range chickens! ... Just perhaps you might hear the rooster crow at the not-too-distant hen house, as he announces another day is about to begin!
Every booking gets to enjoy a dozen of these all country eggs during your stay at Doqwood cottage, free - upon request and availability.
You might just see your happy elderly neighbors who live next door taking their morning - and sometimes late afternoon - walks on Bullpen road - down the hill, directly in front of and below the cottage - down to the recently built beautiful bridge, spanning Bullpen creek - then "back up the hill they come striving to stay fit"! You can too! We think you will find this a serene area, to enjoy a home away from home (others have - see their reviews). plus, acroos the road and north a little you will see a pallet business. This can be comforting too - you won't need to feel like you are all alone in a pkace of nowhere!
About 5 miles away, you can drive through a horse and buggy community, enrout to the 4 CORNERS MARKET & DELI - a fun and quaint bulk food store where they serve sourdough sandwiches and soft serve ice-cream! (Please drive slowly to avoid a "run- in" with a horse n buggy on this country drive! Plus notice the many Amish signs of garden and other items for sale! Check them out!) There are good places to eat in historic Woodbury as well - only 8 miles south. There are four cities within a 30 minute drive, including a great Healthfood store in Murfreesboro - "Sunshine Foods".
Welcome! Dogwood Cottage awaits "you & yours"! And... we'll leave the light on for you!
PS- Always book your stay through VRBO. If you need to chat additionally, Call 615 542 1815 to talk with your hosts. We offer discounts for longer stays per conversation / per booking - call or communicate via VRBO. We try to be flexible toward your needs. We are the Christian Wanner family.

We travel often to Middle Tennessee to visit family. We loved the comfort and privacy of Dogwood Cottage. It was much nicer than staying at a hotel. Plus, our mini dachshund, Smoky, approved as well! Christian was a wonderful host and responded quickly to questions. We will stay there again if possible.

We stayed at the cabin for two weeks and we had a very pleasant stay. The cabin was really comfortable and the hosts checked on us sometimes to make sure everything was alright. We will surely recommend the place or stay there again in the future.🌻

Dogwood Cabin

Perfect in every way. We were in Beechgrove to attend a family memorial and this place was perfect for us. Roomy, cozy, delicious homemade gingerbread awaited us scary travelers. It was after dark arrival and we were greeting with flash lights and friendly face to help us park and get settled. Will definitely stay again

Wonderful experience

The cabin is lovely, very clean, cozy and serene. Kitchen is well stocked for cooking, extra linens, books and DVD movies. There were a lot of little touches that made our stay special. We loved the fresh flowers and the fresh country eggs. We had a wonderful experience the whole time. Great communication with the host.

Beautiful but Frustrating Stay

The area we stayed in was beautiful. The rental was clean and pleasant. However, the oven didn't work, which made cooking meals (the reason we got an VRBO) stressful. Also, things like turning on lights, finding items, and operating the TV were not intuitive and there were no directions written out. We could reach out to hour host, but that took time for response and was frustrating.

We had a wonderful vacation at this great place. Pros: Clean, Spacious, Fully Stocked Kitchen, Full size Refrigerator and Stove make it great for stay at home cooking. Linens provided, Washer and Dryer, Front and back Porch. The best Hosts one could ever hope for! This is a charming "rustic" cabin out in the country. We enjoyed the quiet surroundings as you are out in the country but within 25 minute drive to cute Hallmark like towns. There is a great Amish style market close by (4 Corners Market and Deli) that we stopped at several times during the week for supplies. Thankful the Hosts noted this in their recommendations. The area is very quiet WITH country sounds. A few dogs in the distance. Owners have dogs but seldom could we hear them. We enjoyed the quiet crow of the Rooster in the morning along with a few other farm animals. The setting was so peaceful. Rolling green hills out back. The front porch was a favorite time to enjoy morning coffee. I don't think I have ever heard so many happy birds chirping. Late in the evening you would hear the usual crickets and other quiet country sounds. The road traffic was very limited. Maybe 20 vehicles a day and a few horse and buggies. That was also such a joy. The cabin is close to a corner so no one is driving by fast.

The host is very warm, friendly, and accommodating. The waners and their cabin are a great representation of this area's community and culture. Perfect peaceful farm escape in the middle of nowhere but somehow still conveniently located close to anything you could want to do or see. My family and I visited the yearly autumn street fair, cedarwood pumpkin patch, and the four corners amish store that had the best baked good youve ever tasted. The cabin is spotless, beautiful, and spacious. This is our second stay here and we hope to return every year

Directions were spot on—even in the dark! Place was very CLEAN and COZY! Bed was especially soft like a cloud! Christian was SUPERB about communicating and responding to messages! Outside grassy area is okay for dogs but we had soaked paws AND tennis shoes in the morning as we walked on the uneven terrain. My only regret was that we didn’t stay longer.
