About this property

Cumberland River Retreat - w/Private Dock Visit Nashville by land or water

Stunning 1 bedroom 800 sq. ft riverside suite just 25 minutes from downtown Nashville TN by land or water depending on how fast your watercraft is.

Enjoy boat dock access on the Cumberland River, views and a screened in porch. Includes kitchenette with mini fridge, air fryer, microwave and outdoor gas grill. Located 2 miles outside Nashville's Davidson County.
This is the perfect peaceful getaway close to the city. Perfect for couples, solo travelers, or anyone looking to relax by the water, enjoy a bit of nature, and still stay close to the heart of Nashville.

The other part of the property is occupied by a quiet professional couple with a complete separate entrance. We respect our guests privacy but are usually nearby if you need anything. While having a great time is highly encouraged, if you are looking to host big parties, this is not the location for you.

There is a barge manufactoring facility upriver on the opposite bank of the river, if you are lucky enough you might catch them launching a barge during your stay. That said there is occasional noise from the facility but most find it rather unobtrusive, but we like to mention it so you can plan your stay with full transparency.

Located just 3 miles from Brush Creek Recreational Area with boat ramp to launch your boat and enjoy your private dock for your stay.

Our stay here was amazing. We brought our kayaks and put in right on the dock. The view of the River at sunrise an sunset was so beautiful. Henry an kim went above an beyond to make sure we had a great time from suggesting good restaurants an things to do local the weekend we were here. The house was very clean an cozy. I loved the lights outside an the bird feeders. This was the perfect place we didnt want to be in downtown but we were close enough to go during the day to do some shopping at the mall. Its was a very relaxing weekend. We will be back.

We were thrilled to have you both here. Love that you enjoyed the dock, river and home. Sharing this location with people was as much of a goal for us as anything. Thanks for taking care if it like it was your own. We would love to have you all back anytime.

The guesthouse was perfect fair my husband and myself. It was also in a great location for our plans. We went to the Ryman, then hurricane mills to Loretta Lynn’s ranch. Then to Mt Juliet to visit family and to the Grand Ole Opry. Henry was awesome to communicate with from beginning to end. We even had a chance to meet Henry and Kim. They were lovely people. Would definitely go back again. Debbie N
