Cozy cabin with tons of living/entertainment space (both inside and outdoors). Super private and quiet —great for a getaway! Conveniently located close to Rogersville and a short drive from Florence or Athens. If you are looking for a place in the area, definitely “perch” at the bird’s nest!

The Bird's Nest was exactly what we needed for our weekend getaway. It strikes a great balance, offering simplicity in its charm while still providing all the necessities for a comfortable and fun stay. We never felt like we were missing anything. Perfect for unplugging and enjoying the water! We hope to stay again.

Perfect at the lake

We enjoyed this quaint 1950’s cabin on the Tennessee River. It was quiet and restful for all four of us. I sat outside by the river front every morning with my coffee. The bird sounds are wonderful! We had everything we needed and great hosts. We’ll be back!

Perfect spot

Me and my friends from college rented this place for our annual guys trip. We fished, drank beer, grilled meats, and played cards for three straight days. The Nest was perfect for us. Although the pics on VRBO make it appear small, it is very spacious inside. Plenty of room for us to sleep and shower. Plenty of kitchen space. Great water access, shaded areas. For us, everything was very clean. Will book again next year more than likely.

Fishing trip to Joe Wheeler

Cabin in itself was acceptable. A few things NEED to be mentioned in the description. The driveway isn't in very good condition. Very sharp turn is required when pulling a BOAT with you and once you are in there it is a challenge to turn around. Pulling the boat required me to put my truck in 4 wheel drive. The dock has a big hole in the center and feels a tad shacky. when walking on it. Hope that helps. Thanks

My FAVORITE RIVER HOUSE

We rent a house on the river every year. We always bring our ski boat and our son in law brings his bass boat. This house was amazing! It’s located on the Tennessee River but they call this area Wheeler Lake. The dock is nice and had boat buoys to help us tie boat off. The house itself is older but great. It’s full of charm. Very open living room area which we loved. Kitchen had everything you may need & more. Two charcoal grills onsite. They do have towels; they are located under the tv. The back yard is beautiful leading to the river. Beautiful pine trees, quit area, nice neighbors. They have a tankless gas water heater which comes in handle when traveling with multiple people. We loved our stay so much I plan to book it again for next year during the 4th of July. Beds were great, loveseat pulls out to a bed and large couch. If you are looking for a house for you family this is it!! Also, the driveway is nice and has plenty of room for boats, jet skis, etc.

The location is superb. The rental cost is too high for the house current condition. The house was dirty and needs a plethora of updates. I paid for three nights; I stayed only two. I will not rent this property again.

On The River

The house was very clean but there was no outside seating or grill of any worth With just a few more extras this would be a first rate rental. Entering the drive is fine for a four wheel drive. When you cut corners here and there it really adds up

Nice little place

The property owners are very very nice and would answer back immediately with any questions I had regarding our stay. The place needed to be very cleaned, especially during times now with covid going on. All of the dishes were dirty with old food on them, the carpet was extremely dirty and the fridge has mold on it. Other than the cleanliness this is a great place to stay! The beds were comfortable! Very spacious and cute cabin home to be with family.
