This house was okay. The driveway to the house required a 4-wheel drive vehicle, that was not stated in the description. The views were great and overall house was fine.

House and location were great . Everyone enjoyed the stay and having access to the guest house is nice touch. House had great views and plenty of stuff for all. Only downside is the drive way very steep and gravel. Glad we had 4wd.

Wonderful weekend getaway

My family loved our stay here. It was clean, well maintained, and homey. The kids spent most of their time in the game room and the adults watched the beautiful view from the deck. We will absolutely be booking thjs house again.

Awesome!

This place was perfect for us! We were traveling with another family so having the guest house worked out perfect for the older kids to hang without being around the adults. The views were incredible!

Thank you, Ashley! So glad to hear the setup worked well for both families and that the guest house gave the older kids their own space. And those views are something special—happy you enjoyed them!

Having 2 separate spaces for parents and older teens was a game changer! House well equipped and accurate pictures, we loved the views and spent much time on the porches. Host very communicative with checking in, Had minor washer issue and host was immediately responsive and had mattience in and fixed in a few hours! I will say as complete flat landers I was a little intimidated by the driveway but completely worth it to get to this very private and secluded Cabin in the Sky.

So glad the two separate spaces made all the difference for your group — game changer indeed when you've got parents and teens together! It's wonderful to hear the views, the porches, and the team's quick response on the washer, all of which added to the experience. And totally fair on the driveway — but worth it for that private mountain retreat! We'd love to welcome you back anytime!

Everything was good, only complaint really was the driveway getting to the property. However I would still highly recommend.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A 4 WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE FOR THIS RENTAL. THE DRIVEWAY IS VERY LONG AND REQUIRES 4 WHEEL DRIVE.We had an issue during the stay. A breaker went out. We did not get it resolved during our stay.This is a beautiful property. Everything was very nicely put together for the stay.

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback! Glad the property itself made a great impression — we put a lot of care into the setup. Apologies about the breaker issue not getting fully resolved during your visit; we'll pass that along to the team to make sure it's sorted. Good call-out on the driveway too — it's definitely one to keep in mind. We'd love to welcome you back for a smoother stay next time!

Nice location outside of Nashville.... everything with the house was top notch and easy to use. Host management company communicated very well (ahead of the stay w/ recommendations & suggestions as well as periodic check ins during the stay) and was responsive when a tree came down along the driveway (twice).Make sure to have a vehicle that can make it up the steep, gravel drive even outside of winter months.
