Kathy is amazing. This was our second stay at the ranch house and it was even more awesome than the first time. The house is clean, has a beautiful view off the back porch, and plenty of space for our family to travel and stay together. See you at the end of June, Kathy!

Great house. Quiet location. Close to hiking trails.

My best friend and I stayed at this property for a weekend hiking trip at Fall Creek Falls State Park. We were very close to Sparta as well. We loved the house and thought it was perfect for our stay. Thank you for taking such good care of us and having some nice amenities and snacks available. We highly recommend this property to anyone else looking for a place to stay in the area!

Loved this place!

Loved this property. Very clean and beautiful home. Did have to message the owner to ask about access to the creek, got a response very quickly. Very quiet, big enough for a large family! We traveled about 4 hours to visit Fall Creek Falls, will definitely return if the opportunity arises!

Beds for Film Crew

My team travelled from all over TN and KY to film in Sparta and we needed both a comfy place to sleep and a beautiful place to film. Cunningham Cabin fit both, and they allowed "events" which meant we were allowed to subhost the entire cast and crew while we worked. Communication with Kathy and her team was effortless, and they were happy to oblige our crazy ideas as we made our Christmas short film at the cabin and the beautiful creek on their property. Check in and check out were painless. The only downside was the creek is into the property a little ways and there's stairs leading down maybe 40'. Carrying movie equipment up and down the stairs made my legs hurt, but whose fault is that? My fault. So Cunningham Cabins and Kathy get 5 stars, me not working out my legs so they get sore walking up stairs gets 2.5 stars. Haha. But seriously: very cozy cabin, lovely host, out-of-the-way location, and beautiful Middle Tennessee scenery. Recommended!

Kathy is a wonderfully communicative host who owns several beautiful cabins as well as The Ranch House. The Ranch is on the side of a peaceful winding road with breathtaking Mountain View’s off of the back side. There is a grill with a full outside dining space that made our family dinner cozy while being entertained by the beautiful sunset. This was our third visit and it was just as amazing as the two previous stays. Thank you for your hospitality again, Kathy!
