We really enjoyed our stay, the place was as described, very secluded, peaceful. The cottage was very comfy and cozy, loaded with everything you need to cook and stay there. The master bed was nice and comfy and felt relatively new. The bathroom was really nice and had very good water pressure. The host was very nice, friendly and responsive.

My wife and I had an amazing stay here for a short weekend getaway from Nashville! The property is incredible to get away from the noise of the city. No neighbors so you really have the space all to yourself. The water is beautiful and we enjoyed the fire every night. They have a grill, great AC inside, and the cabin is extremely clean. The host was extremely responsive and helpful for any questions we had. We can't wait to come back!

Loved the cabin, it was very cozy and maintained well. If you’re looking for a wooded getaway this is your place! I was able to walk the dogs down the long back road as it’s a dead end as well as up/down the long driveway everyday! The solace was wonderful!! Loved the fireplace (gas) which was relaxing and provided nice warmth. Saw deer everyday. Enjoyed sitting near the lake for hours reading a book and letting the dogs explore. My family and I went hiking at local state parks easy to drive to. Keep in mind this is probably 30 minutes from the closest store or gas station and that’s exactly what we wanted.

We were looking for privacy and the property has it in spades. We spent the week relaxing and enjoying the quiet. I did have to work remotely for a couple days and the Internet access was great. Our dogs were welcome and they had a blast. Plenty of places to relax, whether on the deck, in the hammock, by the lake, or near the firepit. Julie was readily available and checked to make sure we had everything we needed. Looking forward to coming back again.
