The host is responsive and kind. The property is beautiful, comfortable and has everything you need. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking meals. We enjoyed spending time on the wraparound porch watching fireflies in the evening and listening to the birds in the morning. The beds are comfortable and so is the couch. If you have time enjoy exploring the trails and go check out the lookout on the property. Also if you are hungry there is a fabulous burger spot named The Ugly Mug about 10 minutes away. We love this spot, it feels like home.

The cabin was absolutely perfect for our group weekend. The kitchen was stocked with supplies needed for us to cook and the living room/couch was so comfortable. The beds were very cozy and bathrooms spacious. The owner of the property is incredibly friendly, stopped over to say hi and welcome us. We felt very safe. Lots of hiking nearby. Will absolutely be planning to come back.

This was the perfect setting for my best friend’s bachelor party, it was quiet and peaceful, the property was groomed and welcoming with Bill offering us all the majesty his land had to offer. The look out is the crown jewel but it’s the perfect place to get away even if you just need a porch to sit on and birds to keep you company. I will be bringing my family to take it in as soon as possible!!

We had an amazing relaxing getaway at the red cabin! Bill is absolutely amazing and keeps the property in immaculate condition. We had everything we needed and then some. We enjoyed relaxing mornings on the wrap around porch admiring the deer, cozy fires at the fire pit at night, walking the peaceful trails in the woods, looking at the Milky Way at night, and sipping bourbon at the amazing view point during sunset. We had a much needed spiritual break from the every day stress. Thank you Bill!

We arrived early to our rental (didn't even think about a time change), we actually met the cleaning lady (very nice and friendly) just leaving. She told us to let Bill know we were there early, which we did, Bill is very prompt with messages. We were very much impressed with this cabin, very clean, spacious and very nicely decorated.Comfy beds and pillows, everything you need for your stay except your groceries. Love that we had a washer and dryer, no need to overpack. The firepit was nice, didn't get a chance to use the swing on the wrap-around deck, we were too busy chasing waterfalls. We did sit out on the front porch every morning with our coffees, and at night listening for the whippoorwill and also hearing the water feature so peaceful and quiet.Did manage to take the trail out the back door to the Overlook deck, we ran out of time to sit out there with the nice propane fire pit table. It's a bit of a hike, but take your time, it's beautiful! There's also a composting outhouse out there if needed!All in all this is the perfect rental for 2 or 4 people. The first bedroom has the ensuite with a really nice shower, the other bathroom is in the hall with the tub (hand held shower head) is a great place to soak after a long hike!

Fantastic stay - cabin was exactly as described and pictured, immaculately clean, and very easy to find. Hosts were top-notch hospitable and have done an amazing job tailoring their property to create a wonderful experience. The property is far enough out to get away from light and noise pollution, enjoy watching the stars from the fire pit! Close drive to Fall Creek Falls. Be sure to stop at Publix in Cookeville on your way in to stock up so you can fully enjoy a time of rest and respite.

This cabin and the scenery is absolutely wonderful. If you are looking for a quiet place to relax and take in nature this place is for you. It's obvious the owners have spared no expense to make their property nothing short of spectacular. Very clean, and neat and if you are a porch sitter like I am you have a wrap around porch for your enjoyment day or night. Would highly recommend and I will definitely be going back

Fantastic experience!

Our cabin was just perfect - clean, comfortable, well-equipped. The property is beautiful. We love to go to the mountains every fall to hike, and there is a mile+ hike to a beautiful overlook site on the property. We were close to Rock Island State Park, Savage Gulf State Park, and Fall Creek Falls, so there were lots of options for hiking and beautiful scenery. The hosts were fantastic, available for any issues that arose (the gate malfunctioned one day). Highly recommend this property!

This is a beautiful property that has been well maintained! The property owners have paid attention to detail, as well as it is sufficiently stocked. It is very clean, which made me happy. The full-sized washer and dryer was a plus for us, as we hiked each day we were there and washed a lot of clothes. The fire pit near the cabin is surrounded by trees on three sides. It is a pleasant area to sit. I suggest you bring fire wood with you. The porch which wraps around the whole house has seating on all sides. We enjoyed hearing the rain on the tin roof. The overlook area that is used to advertise the property was very well appointed. The only drawback is that it is a mile from the cabin with no access by vehicle. This makes it a challenge to fully utilize that area. It rained every day we were there, so we only went to the lookout once because of the difficulty to reach it. We are hoping they make it into a road that will allow you to drive to the location because it will then be easy to bring supplies and cook out at that location. The only other thing not apparent, or I missed it, when booking is that there are two other rentals across from the red cabin. I thought we would only be viewing nature. Having said this, It really was not an issue when we were there. I would suggest renting this property.

We enjoyed our weekend so much!! The cabin was perfect, very clean and everything we needed was there. Erin and Bill are the best hosts! They gave us the grand tour of their 300 acre property and checked on us during our stay to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed.

Beautiful cabin in the woods

The property is absolutely amazing! It sits on private land that has tons of trails to hike on. The host gave us a private tour on his ATV of the trails and how he built the property. They communicated very quickly with us and always making sure we had what we needed. They even helped us start our fire pit since we couldn't get it started ourselves and the wood was wet from a small rain shower. The cabin was perfect with everything we needed. The beds were amazingly soft and comfortable. We would recommend this cabin to anyone looking to stay in the Fall Creek Falls state park area. Perfectly wonderful cabin in the woods!
