Rooster's Roost is a delightful place to stay, just minutes from Monteagle and the Fiery Gizzard trail. My sweetheart and I try to hike Fiery Gizzard at least once a year and this has been our favorite stay of the last few years. We definitely recommend.

Enjoyed our stay! Would go there again...!

The house is cute and 3 bedrooms met our needs. Having one bathroom is challenging and one of the bedrooms doesn't have a door and opens to the foyer. The noise from the interstate can be loud at times, but the yard is beautiful and we loved the outdoor space with the firepit. We would stay there again.

Beautiful!!!

We stayed two nights on our way down south. The seclusion of the property brought us the feeling of being able to relax into our vacation immediately. Restaurants were available by a very scenic and memorable drive. Being able to stay in a historic location was a stunning experience. Large bedrooms, great mattresses, kitchen and bath. Additional cozy seating to be able to watch the games would bring this property to perfection. We will be back!

We loved our stay at the property. I am 6'6" so if you are tall you are going to have to duck quite a bit. Also, we emailed the property manager twice with no response to either email when we were staying at Roosters Roost. We asked about the propane for the BBQ if they had another tank and if the TV in the bedroom had Roku. Beside that my wife and i loved our stay, we took ealks on the beautiful backwood roads, we sat in the backyard and enjoyed eatching the deer, the lightning bugs, the butterflies, the mountains. This place is so nice and right up our alley. You will love it as well.

Escape to the farmhouse

Lovely country setting

This 3 bedroom house had all we needed for our visit to The Caverns. Nice country setting with fire pit and outdoor patio seating and front porch seating. Great value and great location. The living area was very small, but we didn’t spend time inside so not an issue. The space heater in one bedroom was a little noisy. Overall we would come back due to the close location to The Caverns.

Charming home

This beautiful historic property was just what we needed for our brief stay in the area. We arrived late, unfortunately, but with enough time to cook a meal in the kitchen and explore a bit before turning in. Everything we needed was at hand. All of the beds were so comfortable. We rose early and visited the chickens, made coffee and poked around a bit, before we had to take off again. It was just right for our family of 2 adults + 2 teenagers, visiting the university. I wish we’d had longer to stay, but enjoyed our short visit!

One Night Stay

We throughly enjoyed our stay at this sweet home! We were in town for a concert at the Caverns and although we didn’t spend much time at the home, we left wanting more! The house was perfect for 3 couples and the 1 bathroom wasn’t really an issue for us. Our only draw back, was that there was no central air conditioning, but the fans provided in the home helped circulate the cool air from the wall unit in the kitchen. The kitchen was well stocked and we really enjoyed having a wonderful fire on such a beautiful night. Overall, it was a wonderful stay- we’ll be back! Oh! and if you visit, don’t forget your fishing poles!

Shabby chic

We were in the area for a concert at The Cavern’s. It’s a bit of a drive considering the backroads, but not bad. We wish it had been a summer stay where we could have enjoyed the outside of the property more. Cute back patio with grill and fire pit, pond and chickens on the property. There were space heaters in each room so we stayed very comfy. The kitchen has everything you would need. Fun little getaway in a rustic cabin/home on a nice patch of land in the countryside.
