It was nice,clean….not as cozy as I anticipated…the recliners allowed you limited comfort. I would have liked to have seen a nicer more elaborate walk in shower to fit the style of the house…all in all…it was a nice stay

Another fine stay

This is a very nice house that is well of the beaten path if you want quiet and privacy. Close to waterfalls which we enjoy going to. The wrap around porch gives different views of the property and the large windows are great for early morning breakfast and watching nature. This was our second time at this location and we will stay again when available for future trips. thanks

Amazing Experience

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place is amazing. I don't think anything I could say would do it justice. It's on a beautiful piece of property surrounded by farmland and overlooks a small river (it's too steep to easily access). The house is very comfortable and has everything you could ask for to make your stay enjoyable. It's really close to Rock Island State Park so great hiking and other activities. I highly recommend it and will definitely be back.

Beautiful property and location

Amazing property. Loved all the wood work that was done around the house. Patio with screen was a fantastic touch. Wish we could spend more time there. Only reason for 4 stars was related to bathroom cleanliness. We rented this place because of the cleanliness reviews. It was clean for the most part however the shower curtains in both bathrooms were quite awful with mold growing all over. They need to be replaced. Easy to fix. Will stay again for sure and I am certain the shower curtains will be replaced.

Wonderful!!

This rental home is just beautiful. We had such a nice time here that we decided to extend our stay an additional 4 days. The home is spacious and exceptionally clean, with beautiful views from the porches and windows. There are plenty of places to relax both inside and out. The kitchen is well stocked and there are plenty of games to keep even the pickiest ones busy and happy. We enjoyed playing corn hole and air hockey and seeing deer in the nearby fields. Some were even spotted walking through the backyard. Beds and showers were good. We were happy to have a washer and dryer so no laundry when we got home! The home is quite comfortable and quiet. We now consider this home as one of our favorite rentals. We highly recommend.

A Beautiful Home in the midst of the Tennessee mountains

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: An immaculately clean home within striking distance of some of the most spectacular waterfalls in the U.S. The amazing views of rolling hills, old barns, and deer feeding in the fields was enough, but the home itself was perfect for our family weekend getaway. You could relax on the screened in porches, play air hockey, ping pong, or cornhole. The location was ideal within close distance of state parks, waterfalls, lakes, or quaint towns with great restaurants. Can't say enough about the amenities and quality of this home, the maintenance staff that made it sparkle, and the superb communication from the rental company that kept you informed about everything you needed to know. My only wish is that we could have stayed longer.

Simply Charming Experience at the Chalet!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Whispering Water at Rock Island Shores is an immaculate, serene experience. Book it now! Don't look any further! The pictures can not do it justice. The actual construction and attention to detail are incredible. It's newly constructed, sturdy and kept super clean. The beds were very comfy and linens of high quality. We loved the wood floors, walls and ceilings and the windows in the living room were exquisite. The best part is it is the perfect location to Rock Island State Park and Fall Creek Falls State Park. The best waterfalls are at Rock Island State Park which is literally 10 minutes away. We would take our hot tea and coffee there with our lounge chairs every morning to watch the sunrise on the falls. Fall Creek Falls State Park had an amazing waterfall too but the hike down was an "ankle biter"....the colors of the leaves were absolutely exquisite....totally worth the 45 minute drive. You will totally enjoy your stay!!!

Disappointed

Location was good but cabin was very dirty and dusty, needs a deep cleaning. Pet hair in carpets and my 2 year kept finding them so had to keep him off carpets. Checked in Sunday and told them tv in bedroom didn’t work and someone came and looked at it and couldn’t figure it out. I called again Monday morning and it wasn’t until Wednesday they told me that that tv doesn’t even have service owner canceled it but took 3 days to find that out. Porch chairs were too dirty to sit on. Kept finding black hair in bathrooms, couldn’t sleep with bedroom fan on high makes too much noise had to turn down super slow. One of the lights in living room with fan doesn’t work. I checked out a day earlier but have left sooner
