Total relaxation
Our stay was a girl's getaway for my birthday. It was perfect! We bought dinner and groceries Friday night in Cookeville and never left the property again until check out. Very relaxing getaway. Thank you so much.

No heat, had to move to hotel
My family stays in about 4-5 vacation rentals a year and always enjoy our stays. In fact, I have never left a negative review but felt like I needed to warn others. We have stayed in this house in the past and enjoyed it but this time was different. We were supposed to stay 2 nights over the holidays during a very cold spell. The first night was fine but we woke up and it was 57 degrees in the house. After engaging emergency heat the temperature continued to fall. Also the pipes completely froze even with the water running on all the faucets! When we decided to leave about 10 am the first day, the temperature had fallen to 51 degrees in the house. I understand weather events are not the fault of the owner, but heat is a basic necessity. We were in town visiting relatives and they all had warm homes and running water. We had to move to a hotel and the rental company refused a refund for the night we couldn’t stay in the house. My husband had to return to the house a couple hours after we left to look for something and it was so cold in the house he could see his breath! It was a major disruption to our holiday events.

I am deeply sorry to hear about your experience. I understand that you have never left a negative review before, but felt compelled to warn others due to the seriousness of the issues you faced. It is unacceptable that your family had to leave the house due to insufficient heating and freezing pipes. I understand that these issues are not caused by the owner, however, the well-being and comfort of our guests is our top priority. We take all of our guest feedback very seriously. We do not want any of our guests to experience a disruption to their plans. We can insure you and the future guest this was a one-off problem due to record low temperatures in our area. This issue has not happened in the past and we made measures for it not to happen again.

Cabin getaway for the family
We had a nice fall break getaway with the family and enjoyed nearby hiking. We had a few issues but communicated them to management for repair/fixing.

A trip with all the family including the furry 4-legged members makes a trip even better! We are so happy the whole family enjoyed the home and that you had a good time in the Center Hill Lake Area!

Beautiful Cabin in Baxter
We absolutely loved our stay at this amazing cabin! It felt secluded but still close to the interstate. You can tell the cabin is cared for because it was spotless when we arrived. The only thing we would have liked the cabin to have would be curtains in the downstairs bedroom. There wasn’t any privacy due to that. Other than that one thing, our stay was perfect. I highly recommend!

Beautiful Cabin in the Woods!
We absolutely loved this Cabin! The kitchen is phenomenal. The pictures in the listing really don't do this place justice. There's a room designated just for dogs that is perfect and we instantly regretted not bringing our dog with us but, will next time because we will definitely be back again soon! We had plenty of Hot water and the bathroom is large. The only thing that we didn't care for was the Clawfoot tub/shower. A walk-in shower would actually make that Cabin completely Perfect! My husband stated multiple times during our stay, that he wanted to buy that house! That's no somehting he says often!

The Tennessee cabin get away
We enjoyed the cabin, the atmosphere, and the state park near by! Perfect place to get some peace and quite and spend some time with family. Wish we could have stayed longer! The porches and sun rooms where my favorite rooms. I’d say the bathroom rugs need to be replaced but all and all it was a wonderful stay. Had everything we needed for what we wanted to do while we enjoyed our stay in the beautiful state of Tennessee. Thanks for hosting! Would definitely recommend to a friend.

Very nice log home
We had a great time gathering with family, the home was very roomy! I loved the dining and kitchen area. We spent most of the time at the farm house table talking and putting together puzzles that where there. We found some really good restaurants downtown as well.

Pioneer cabin for the modern family with pets
I've never stayed in a cabin built using materials from the 1800's, so I didn't know what to expect. However, we were pleasantly surprised to see that the cabin is exactly as shown in the listing photos! Athough it looks quite "rustic" it has the comfort and feel of any high-quality modern home with nearly all the amenities you'd expect. The only thing missing was a dishwasher but the kitchen sink layout is well suited for hand washing dishes. The kitchen is the well appointed with all the utensils and things you'll need to prepare great meals. The combo "microwave/air fryer/roaster" will come in handy when reheating those meals. We made baked potatoes in it which were so delicious - no soggy microwave food here! The Wi-Fi is fast, I had several Zoom meetings with no buffering or freezing. There is a TV in the dining room area, which has Netflix and all streaming services, however we never used it. Instead, we spent our time exploring the areas natural resources and attractions. Burgess Falls and Cummins Falls state parks are each within a 20-minute drive. Also historic downtown Cookeville is a great place to go for dinner and drinks. We didn't want to leave this beautiful cabin oasis when it was time to go! But the hosts have made checkout easy - you don't have to deal with removing linens and putting towels in the laundry. Just take out the trash and you're out the door! Whether you're on a staycation weekend from Nashville or an international tourist, this property is the best accommodation the Cookeville area has to offer in terms of value, comfort and location.

Quiet, Relaxing Seclusion
Great property! Love the history of the cabin. We enjoyed the quiet and not being super close to another rental (common with other rentals). We had a boat with us and this property was really convenient given the circular driveway and area to park the boat. We weren't expecting all of this and it was a great surprise. The Cookeville Boat ramp was not busy at all when we launched Thursday evening. We were in pretty quickly and we didn't have to wait long to take out. We had a pretty hard rain storm and the roof started leaking, but this wasn't over any sleeping areas and "Rick" was quick to try to fix it - including climbing on the roof by himself to do so! Thanks for the wonderful stay, we would recommend this property.

Unique and historic log cabin in a peaceful setting
Great stay in a unique log cabin. The cabin used to be a barn, and had been moved and converted to this log cabin vacation home. Very cool. Nice and peaceful location. Great amenities, including; barbeque, fire pit, equipped kitchen, huge kitchen table, expansive wrap around deck with plenty of seating, and rocking chairs on the covered front porch. The cabin is dog friendly, and comes with a dog bed and toys for the pups! Since the location is remote, there is no cell service, but the cabin has internet, and wireless so its easy to stay connected. All in all, a nice peaceful retreat!
