This cottage was perfect for my family. My teenage boys were thrilled to have a couch with recliners facing the TV just like home! They also loved the shower which had excellent water pressure. Our host shared restaurant recommendations and was easy to communicate with. The location was a great jumping off point for hiking in several state parks and exploring Cumberland Caverns. We would definitely stay here again!

Very cozy, clean, and comfortable. I didn't have time to use the Jacuzzi, unfortunately, but it looked well maintained like the rest of the house. The neighborhood is quiet, and the location is very convenient.I would definitely recommend this property.

Eagle transport

We contacted the host prior to booking to discuss our unique situation. We were transporting an American bald eagle from OK to NC and needed an overnight stay. They were delighted to accommodate us (which was a huge relief)!The space was beautiful! Lots of room, all the amentities, located in a wooded area, bed was comfy and OMG .... the shower was heavenly!!! If you're driving a smaller car, parking in the drive is easy from the one-lane wide street. We were in our big truck, so we had to circle around the property and "4-wheel drive" it into the parking area (advised by host prior to arrival).Host was quick to reply to any questions and we (and Leroy) enjoyed our overnight stay in this quiet and beautiful place surrounded by trees.

Cute little house on a quiet street

We used the house mostly as a jumping off point for our adventures but we did manage to get some use out of the hot tub while we were there. It is within a short drive to a bunch of wayerfalls and hiking spots.

Great little house

Came to Sparta for family reunion. This place was perfect for my husband and I. Carol the host thought of so many small details that added to our comfort and convenience. Built in chargers in nightstands with cords! Flashlights in every room. Tons of towels and pillows. Coffee maker that could use Keurig cups or make a pot. Fully equipped kitchen. Comfortable bed. Easy check-in and quick response to questions.
