Great place to stay. Very peaceful & rejuvenating environment. Great view & amenities. Thankful to have found a place to return close to home for quick getaways. You won’t be disappointed!
Loved our stay here. Quick access to Sewanee and a beautiful, serene setting made for a fun weekend. Our favorite hangout spot was definitely the Game Room in the garage!
We enjoyed this little mountainside getaway. Great location for hiking and the Caverns with a private property to relax and unwind. The hot tub was a must after the long hikes! The kids enjoyed the game room and lots of space to play and run around.
Perfect for some secluded time away from our busy life! Time to slow down and relax or hit the gameroom for some fun! Hiking trails and local shopping not too far of a drive away!
We had the most amazing time. We were looking for something secluded and modern with beautiful views and this place exceeded our expectations! We planned on coming to the area to elope and once we saw how beautiful the property was we asked if we could get married there. We highly recommend this property for your stay, we will for sure be back!
Fantastic experience - will definitely try to book again!
We stayed here in early November for Sewanee's homecoming weekend. Loved the cabin, the guest house, and the peaceful surroundings with incredible views. The drive up Roarks Cove Road to campus was scenic and pretty easy from the cabin. Is a much quieter option than others that are in the "Sewanee-Montagle corridor". Highly recommend!
It’s perfect for getting away but not too far away. It takes a little bit of extra effort to get up to it but it’s worth it. We did the Greeter Falls trail about 40 minutes away this time and we 10/10 recommend. It was a little over a mile with a lot of steep elevation changes but it was thrilling and the views were worth it. The hot tub on a chilly morning and evening was blissful. The fire pit helped us be able to enjoy the outdoors with some extra warmth. The added hammock since our last trip was the most peaceful chill spot ever. A+
Awesome place with stunning views! It has everything you need to relax!
We absolutely loved this house! It was so quiet and has stunning views of the mountains! Great communication from the host. Couldn’t have been more perfect!
Everything was set up perfectly and the owners were very responsive from booking till checkout. No issues during our stay at all, we would definitely stay there again.
Loved staying here and would love to stay again! We stayed here as it was a short drive to the Caverns where we went to see a concert. This home was perfect for my family the game room kept the kids entertained and we enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway this is the spot! Thank you!
Nice small get away for a small group. This cabin maximized the possible use of the space available
I would stay here again but my two complaints are that the stair way is way too low and would definitely not recommend for anyone tall and the checkout time is way too early.
Really small everything! Game room is great. Check-in and out times a bit stingy. Owners easy to reach, fast to communicate.

Beautiful view
Owner very helpful and kind. Extremely clean and tidy home. Looks brand new! Game garage was well stocked for families or couples. Enjoyed the seclusion very much. Only downfall was the lengthy gravel road you have to travel to get to the driveway.
Beautiful view. The house was welcoming and very pleasing to the eye. The fire ring was awesome on the chilly nights. Hot tub had an fantastic view of the stars and moon. The “game garage” was perfect for the kiddos. They felt so cool hanging out in there. Property was gorgeous and we seen a fair amount of wildlife.
Not only was the cabin itself amazing but the hosts nathan and his wife Amanda went absolutely above and beyond what a host normally would. Could not recommend the cabin enough. If you want to stay in Tennessee this is the place.
The house is quite attractive and well appointed with unexpected extras (lots of DVD's, outdoor grill, fire pit, etc). We didn't have time to take advantage of the game room, but it looks like great fun. The house is 15-20 minutes from Sewanee (where the family wedding was), in a very quiet area. The biggest surprise was not the gravel road as such, but the 1/2 mile of pretty steep hill up to the house. And the gravel road itself could use some maintenance,
Had a great time staying at the cabin. The cabin was super clean & very homey. My husband thought this was the best cabin we stayed at thus far. The game room was great. We loved playing the arcade games for sure. The hot tub was super nice as well. Beautiful views from the balcony!! We'll definitely be back & hopefully bring the kids with us as we believe they would love it!! Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys cabins & outdoors to stay. Great hosts as well
