This was a great property to stay in. Sparta is a super cute town with lots of charm. The house was perfect for our girls weekend. It was close enough to Fall Creek Falls for hiking with all the convenience of Sparta. The house was clean. Everything we needed was there. The beds were comfortable with great pillows. The shower was amazing. Hosts were responsive and I would stay there again.

We had a great time at the house. We brought our own kayak trailer, so we loved that the house had the under deck storage. Plenty of parking. The neighborhood is older, but it was very quiet and felt safe. The hot tub was a wonderful addition. The kitchen was well supplied and they even had cleaning supplies, paper towels, spices, butter, fridge condiments. More than we were expecting, because we brought our own supplies too. The beds were very comfortable and the pillows were nice. That's always a huge plus. The shower is awesome and had great water pressure. No complaints other than they could add some chopping knives. So maybe just bring your one favorite from home if you plan to cook a lot like we did.

The house was clean, stocked with the essentials and has a beautiful piece of property. Even though it was in a residential area, it felt private and serene. LOVED the soft bed (guest room), the shower (amazing!) and the hot tub! I would definitely stay at this place again!

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!
