We absolutely loved our stay! The owners truly thought of everything. The location was perfect. The cows were very entertaining and we loved the dogs from across the street. We were able to enjoy the night sky by the fire. We would definitely come back and stay here again!

Family/dog friendly place

Our stay was just what our family of 5 and two pups needed! We had an absolute blast exploring the area, mining for diamonds and crystals, and dining at the local resturants. If we are in this area again, definitely going to be booking this place! Highly recommend!

Perfect vacation rental!

This house really lives up to the hype from other reviews. We were 2 families, each with 2 adults and a teen. The house was gorgeous and spotless upon arrival. The decor is rustic but the house is very modern and comfortable. It had everything we needed and more. There was plenty of space for the humans and the 2 dogs. The backyard is huge and fenced well so there were no concerns of the dogs getting out. The firepit is gorgeous and so is the view. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The owners were super-responsive, although we never needed them during our stay because everything in the house was amazing. I couldn't come up with a complaint about this house if I tried.

Visiting Diamond National Park

Our house was the closest house to the park, but still in the country. The house looked brand new on the inside. Game room was a hit with the grandkids! Easily sleeps 8, comfy beds, nice bathrooms, screened porch and outside covered large patio! The field out back frequently had deer in the evening. The county is a dry county and it is 2 towns away, over 30 miles to pick up a 6 Pk of beer. Grocery is 23 miles NW of Murfreesboro!! Had a wonderful vacation!!

Relaxation at its Finest

We've just returned home from a wonderful trip to Arkansas and Missouri. We'd like to thank Wayne and JackLynn for providing a space that felt like a home away from home. The house is located so close to Diamond Crater State Park that one could literally walk there (if you weren't carrying mining gear)! We were hoping to take advantage of the outdoor fire pit, but due to a late arrival and rain the following evening, it didn't quite work out. However, the firepit is located in a beautiful spot with firewood included. The extra welcome basket treats along with coffee included was a nice treat after a long drive. Each of us were happy to have our own space for sleeping and gave everyone room to do something they'd like to do. The game room is a great area for families, and the foosball table was fun to use, as well. I would highly recommend staying here and guarantee you won't regret it. I would absolutely stay here again!!

Beautiful, Clean, Fantastic Place to Relax!!

Crater’s Edge Ranch is a beautiful, well-appointed home with many personal touches. While the home is located less than a mile from the Crater of Diamonds State Park (definitely try finding diamonds - super fun!), I would definitely recommend a stay here just to get away and relax! The house is meticulously clean, the kitchen is absolutely gorgeous, and the owners have gone to great lengths to create a wonderfully relaxing experience. From the thoughtful selection of coffees and teas to go with the Keurig, the basket of soft blankets in the family room, the paper towel rolls in the bathrooms (absolutely genius idea!), to the screened back porch where you can take in the serene view while enjoying morning coffee - our stay at Crater’s Edge is the most relaxing vacation I’ve had in years. There’s also plenty to keep the kids entertained with the game room! We will definitely return as soon as possible!

As advertised, a home away from home

The perfect base of operations for diamond hunting with kids at the Crater of Diamonds state park which is just a minute down the road. So convenient that we came back for lunch every day. Wayne was very responsive. Everything was clean and fully stocked in terms of pots, pans, dishes, silverware, paper towels, garbage bags, dish detergent and laundry detergent. My 9 year old son declared the guest room bed "the comfiest." My master bed wasn't bad either, which is important after whole days of crouching and digging. We cooked, did laundry, and used the game room extensively. Would definitely stay again. Sadly, we didn't find any diamonds so we may very well need to return.

Home away from home.

This was an absolute peach of a home. The first words out of my Granddaughter mouth when she went inside was: I could stay here forever." The home was comfortable, inviting, plus there was a game room, outdoor fire pit where we roasted hot dogs and made smores. The beds were a dream to sleep on.... I've got to get me one of those. The Crater of Diamond was literally just down the road. It is a quiet little town, but if that is what you are looking for this place is for you. Lake Greeson was wonderful to take the family swimming and then return to rest and recharge the batteries, or just have a quiet night or day just enjoying the property. I recommend this property to anyone. I would love to stay here again.

We are already planning a return trip to do more exploring in the area!

Memorial Day at the Diamond Mine

Everything went really smooth. Quiet, peaceful weekend. House rental was perfect. Neighbor was really nice. They have everything you need except an outside water hose. Lol. The kids loved the foosball table and the basketball hoop. We loved the screened in patio and the coffee pot! Beds were super comfortable but, as a personal preference, could use two more pillows on the king size bed. Lots of hot water for the shower(s). It was truly one of our favorite VRBOs! Lastly, it is so close to the Park you could literally walk there! Thank you so much for the hospitality!

This is the best rental we've stayed in to date. They have thought of everything, and created a charming, cozy, and thoughtful place. It's well stocked with towels, (bedding and extras) throw blankets in the living room. The kitchen is stocked to the gills with anything you might need during your stay. There is a fenced in back yard that's perfect for the puppers and kiddos. So well done! We thank you for letting us stay at Crater's Edge Ranch.

Perfect house for our Crater of Diamonds visit

I’m really particular when it comes to renting a house. Often times, pictures make the house look better than it is in person. This is not the case with this house. We walked in after a long drive & the house was so inviting! Not only was it so charming & comfortable but very clean! The kids loved the game room & the black lights around the room made it a fun space for them to play. They especially loved the “Hey Google” music feature & being able to play their favorite songs. The owner, Wayne, was so nice & responsive to questions. They also had a welcome basket displayed on the counter full of snacks/treats, water bottles & magazines/pamphlets with nearby attractions. This was a great little house and I would highly recommend it!!
