Luxurious Mountain Cabin in Monteagle Near Sewanee with Private Pond

Welcome to the Mountain Thyme Cabin located in peaceful and serene Monteagle, Tennessee!

From the moment you approach the drive, let the rest and relaxation begin. Nestled in the middle of the woods adjacent to a private, stocked pond, the outdoors spaces will enchant you before even stepping inside. Once you break the spell, the inside will not disappoint. Mountain Thyme is tastefully furnished in well-coordinated and functional pieces, all professionally chosen to enhance your vacation experience.

Mountain Thyme comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests (6 adults max) in 2 bedrooms plus a sleeping loft with bunks (no uncomfortable pull out sofa’s here). The oversized master bedroom is graced by a king-sized, Tempur-pedic mattress and premium linens. The bathroom has a shower, separate tub and makeup area. The guest bedroom downstairs features a queen bed, has dual closets and private access to the outdoors. Both bedrooms have flat screen TVs. There is an additional full bathroom on the main floor, which houses the laundry closet complete with a full-size washer and dryer.

The amazing loft has a total of 4 bunk beds and is the perfect retreat for kids (or those young at heart). It features a train table & various toys as well as an old school tabletop arcade game to keep everyone entertained for hours. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare a wonderful family meal which can be enjoyed at the farmhouse style dining room table with room to seat everyone. As the evening winds down, the cozy and inviting living room is the perfect spot to relax. Enjoy the large flat screen TV with full cable and you can even access your Netflix, Hulu, or Pandora accounts on the Smart-Enabled BluRay DVD player. And yes, this cabin does have free WI-FI and your cell-phone should work just fine.

Mountain Thyme’s outdoors spaces truly are what make this cabin special. The screened-in porch, located just off the living room, seamlessly blends the indoors and out. Here you can enjoy swinging away those cool fall nights or morning coffee on a warm spring day. The upper porch is a breathtaking vantage point to enjoy the sights and sounds on the pond while lazily relaxing away the day. It’s the perfect spot to curl up with a good book in one of the uber-cozy chairs and let yourself be transported to a more relaxing pace of life.

The rear covered porch is as great spot to spy on the abundant wildlife in the woods such as deer, squirrels, raccoons, owls and a multitude of beautiful birds. Or just enjoy the peaceful sounds of rain on the metal roof. Even the side of the house has a covered space that you will appreciate when unloading the car should the weather be inclement.

The inviting fire pit features seating for everyone with adirondack chairs and bench seating is the perfect spot to share campfire stories or just become mesmerized by the dancing flames. Don’t worry about bringing wood, we’ve got that covered too. At some point, you’ll want to make a visit down to our dock on the pond, where a paddle boat awaits your voyage around the pond. Don’t forget to take a moment to feed the catfish (we have food, but they will eat most bread products). Once they have gained your trust, they may even let the adventurous pet them. There are plenty of woods to explore and special little spots to hide out and steal a moment of tranquility.

The best part of Mountain Thyme cabin is that we don’t want you to sweat the small stuff. We want your stay to be as relaxing, comfortable, and as convenient as possible. We include the the little things you typically don’t find in a cabin rental but are appreciated by our guests. Things like dish soap, laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, salt & pepper, spices, batteries & more. This is our family cabin and we keep it ready to use, so enjoy the convenience of a truly ready-to-rent cabin. The kitchen is fully equipped with mixing bowls, pots, pans, utensils, griddle, blender, waffle maker and everything else you might need to prepare a perfect cabin meal. Also be sure to check the storage room off the back deck where you can find things like life preservers, fire starters, outdoor games like Bocce Ball and other stuff. And if the mood for gardening strikes you, there are tools for that, so have at it!

There are little surprises everywhere so feel free to enjoy everything available to you. Sometimes we will leave you stuff to make s’mores, a bottle of champagne or a 6-pack of beer. Who knows what you will find? We also have a variety of board games perfect for family nights around the table. The arcade game located in the loft features 50 of your favorite classics like Ms. Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, DigDug, Frogger & more—and of course it’s free play so no quarters necessary. Our goal is for you to have a wonderful stay and return for years to come. We have tried to think of any and everything you might want during your visit to Mountain Thyme Cabin.

The cabin is easily accessible on good, flat roads just a couple minutes off the Monteagle exits. It is conveniently located less that 1 ½ hours drive from Nashville or Knoxville, 2 Hours from Atlanta and only 45 minutes from Chattanooga. Our cabin is just a few short minutes from the University of the South at Sewanee, St Andrews School, The Assembly Grounds and more. The area is known for its natural beauty, with soaring bluffs, creeks, waterfalls, rock outcroppings and tons of hiking trails to discover these wonderful spots. And if you are looking for nightlife, there a surprising number local dining establishments that are sure to impress. The town of Monteagle has all of the stores you may need plus a variety of shops and artisan markets to peruse. Please note though, this is not like Pigeon Forge. Prepare to relax and enjoy time with your friends and family, the outdoors, nature and just a slower pace of life away from the hustle and bustle.

We look forward to sharing our wonderful vacation home with you in the near future!

Please note: We have exterior cameras installed to monitor the home between guest stays and to confirm that guests have checked in or checked out. If you have any questions - just let us know!

Great, comfortable cabin close to hiking and more

We enjoyed our weeklong stay at the cabin. The furnishings were comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed. It was mostly cooler during our stay, but we enjoyed sitting out on the front porch one afternoon. If you want an outside fire, there’s a nice fire ring with seating and a lot of wood. We went hiking to a different trail every day. Fiery Gizzard and trails at the College of the South were 15 minutes away. We were also just a few minutes away from several restaurants. I particularly like the Mountain Goat Market.

Wonderful mountain home, cabin

Beautiful log cabin, exactly as depicted in photos and description. Seems new or very well maintained! Very nice neighborhood , homes on large lots and this one has private pond and wooded area which was perfect for walking our dog. I noted the reviews about noise and thin walls so we brought along noise machine which really helped. Highly recommend for a family getaway, couples retreat, or girls weekend!

Wonderful cabin

We really enjoyed our stay! The cabin had everything we needed plus extras. The cabin is away from the big areas but close enough to drive to activities like The Caverns and Rock City. We loved that it was decorated for Christmas time! Nice, clean and comfortable.

Wonderful family get-away!

This beautiful cabin was perfect for our family - from the train table and catfish to entertain my sons to the arcade game and spots to read on the porch for my daughter, we all found our favorite spots. Lots of great hiking nearby. Loved this spot!

Cozy home in Monteagle

We had a wonderful getaway at this lovely home -- clean, comfortable with a well-equipped kitchen. The pond with the paddle boat was a big hit with our teenagers. The location was convenient to hiking as well as local restaurants for take-out.

About the host

Hosted by Rachel Potter

Host profile image
Bob and Rachel, married since 2003, are extensive world travelers who enjoy luxury hotels and exotic locations. Currently living outside Nashville, Tennessee - most of their vacations these days are family-oriented with their two school-aged children.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this cabin in the Fall of 2014 as a quick and convenient weekend getaway from Nashville. We fell in love with the pond. Our kids fell in love with the yard. We all love the laid back attitude of the mountain and reconnecting with nature while we're here.

What makes this property unique

In the fast paced world that we live in today, Mountain Thyme cabin is a convenient escape and welcome respite from the daily grind. From the moment we first visited the property - we knew that it was the one for us. This cabin offers so much and is so close to Nashville, we will probably never go back to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge.
