Response from VrboOwner on 15 October 2025
I am sorry about the lighting. If the fan light was only on, the living room is darker; however, you may have overlooked the recessed lights in the ceiling which are on a separate light switch which makes the room very bright. Again, thank you for your suggestion.

Perfect Home Away From Home

The Rooted Retreat- Cozy Cabin is the perfect home away from home. It is very clean. The homey decor is welcoming. Easy check-in and entry to the cabin. Quiet neighborhood. It has all the basics needed to cook meals (which we took advantage of) even a large variety of spices. At night we would sit in front of the warm and cozy fireplace. We will gladly stay again at the cabin when in the area.

Beautiful cabin in a peaceful setting

I was in TN for work in Smyrna and wanted to stay in a country setting. This place was perfect! The hour drive to and from Smyrna was easy and relaxing through some beautiful country. I would suggest a couple amenities that would be helpful, such as a chef's knife (couldn't cut a crusty loaf easily), steak knives and a hair dryer. to deal breakers, but helpful. We will definitely stay here again when I return to Smyrna.

Clean + Quiet + Cozy = Perfect place to stay!

If a clean, quiet and cozy place to stay is what you want, then you can’t go wrong staying at the cabin. It has all the comforts of home with a cozy fireplace to curl up by and read a good book.. We had a couple of warm days and took full advantage of sitting outside watching squirrels and listening to the birds sing. It is away from the hustle and bustle but close to recreational opportunities and restaurants. Great communication with the host. Easy check-in. This is our second time staying here and would gladly stay again!

Basket Weaving week with Eric Taylor

A lovely stay for our basket weaving week. Check in and check out was smooth as communicated through VRBO account. The property was clean and well kept and supplied with amenities as described. Beds and furniture was comfortable with adequate space for the 3 adults on our trip. The upstairs bath headroom is a bit limited as described. We corresponded with the owner prior to departure of the keypad door lock that likely needed a new battery. Enjoyed the evening firefly’s, a couple of glowing sunsets, a glorious full moon rise, and a couple of rain showers. The AC kept the space comfortable and quiet during the Tennessee summer heat and humidity. Would love to stay here again.

clean and cozy

The stay was good we only stayed two of the four days because family live two hours away and we wanted to spend the last day with them. The first day we missed because of flight cancelation (tornados). The second bathroom had no shower, and kitchen had no waste basket. Outside the patio had no table at all just some wood blocks to rest a drink on very unstable. The ice maker was not working but they had ice trays but if you wanted ice the first day you have to wait about 5 hours.

Thank you for staying with us. Last weeks weather was super stormy in Tennessee. An outside table for the porch would be a great addition and will be added. The wooden blocks are a game called Jenga for our guests to enjoy. On the ice, we can definitely have some waiting for guest. The kitchen garbage can is kept under the sink sorry that it was not visible. Thank you for the suggestions! Hope the next visit to Tennessee has better weather. Thank you for your review.

November stay

House location was good. Had a ladybug problem, Advertised two bedroom two bath. But it was one bedroom and a loft. The loft bathroom is made for a child not for adult. The mattress queen size needs to be replaced. My friend had to use the twin bed. The kitchen is not well equipped no plastic baggies no creamer for the coffee no wrapping parchment paper, Yeah, no cookware that you can use in the microwave. The dish got burning hot. When cooking on the stove or cooking in the oven, the fire alarm would always go off. It was very annoying.. Other than that, we had a fantastic visit and a great time! Yeah

About the host

Hosted by Beth Blankenship

Host profile image
We are locals who have a small nursery in the area. We love kayaking the Barren Fork River and hiking the local state parks. Hosting allows us to allow people to come to town to see their families and friends or just relax in our sweet county.

Why they chose this property

We have always loved this place and the beautiful yard. Centertown area is one of our favorite areas of the county. Close to Crisp Springs Market, Praters BBQ, and Four Corners Market are restaurants. The Amish community is close by with their fruits, veggies, and hand made crafts. Also, the property is minutes from McMinnville, less than an hour from Murfreesboro and Cookeville, and less than two hours from Chattanooga and Nashville but yet so quiet and peaceful

What makes this property unique

This cabin just brings a calmness and restfulness when you enter. The 1320 square feet is cozy yet is open space. The back porch just allows you to sit and talk and be.
