As advertised, great view good location for hikes or just sight seeing. Cooked outside every night, fire pit area looked great, but was too warm to use. Would definitely stay again

Wonderful place to stay

Not only was this VRBO one of the best-decorated homes we have ever stayed in, it was also by far the cleanest. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again in the future.

Romantic Weekend Getaway

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our brief time away and we impressed with this property and all there is to do in Sparta and surrounding areas. Truly some great food/drink and beautiful nature all around. The house was well furnished and had everything we needed.

Very relaxing

Beautiful home and property but the online pictures were a bit deceiving. Online pics made property look more secluded than it was. Several houses next door.

Fantastic getaway

Beautiful house in a beautiful location right on the water. Unfortunately it was a rainy wknd, but we had a wonderful stay and it was very relaxing and comfortable to be indoors. This place had everything we needed and was so pretty.

Weekend get away

The hubby and I just wanted a quiet weekend getaway and this place definitely delivered. It was beautiful and cozy. It’s close to crossville and cookeville but far enough away at the same time. We enjoyed the fire pit and just looking at the river from the back deck. The only complaint is the bed was firm and my back likes a softer mattress. All in all this is a fantastic property!

AMAZING PLACE! Stay here

This place was perfect! It was nicer than the pictures (And we had high expectations). Everything was amazing. The location is great, quality is amazing. We really loved the location and how relaxing everything was. Thank you! We want to come back in the fall/winter to use the fire pit!

Great cottage

The cottage was simply outstanding. Extremely clean and well apportioned. i was very happy with it. We had a hard time connecting through the VRBO app prior to my stay; however, once that issue of notifications was fixed, the response time from Livia was extremely fast. would love to stay there again.

Great getaway

Had a lovely couple days. The house had a great layout and decor for us. The kitchen was well stock for our small meals we prepared. Rained the few days we were there but there was a lovely outside area we definitely would take advantage of next time. The beds were a little too hard and uncomfortable for our liking but the connivence of everything else made it worth it. Also, enjoyed the selection of game and puzzles they had. The hosts were also very communicative and offered wonder recommendations when we asked. Definitely would book again

Country living

Our first impression when we first walked through the house was “wow”! The owners have done a fantastic job with decorating and outfitting the house. My wife loved sitting outside reading as I read on the comfortable couch. It is definitely in the country, which we love and enjoyed driving some of the backroads. It only took about 15 minutes to drive to town and we and some of the best pizza I have ever had. We will definitely stay in this house again if we are in the area.

Perfect getaway for two

Calfkiller cottage was just what we were looking for, a cozy retreat on the river. The home was very clean, had everything that you’d need including a fully stocked kitchen, a washer/dryer, and a grill on the deck overlooking the river, as well as an outdoor fire pit (although it was way too hot during our stay to use). The location was great between Sparta and Spencer and easy to find. The access to the river is a very steep grade down from the house, no stairs, so wasn’t able to enjoy the river close up. Overall, we loved our stay at Calfkiller cottage and will definitely book again when we are in the area.
