Great spot for a more relaxed batchelor party experience

The best kept cabin I've ever stayed in. The beautiful remote property features so much to do without ever having to leave. A great place to have peace and quiet while celebrating a dear friend entering holy matrimony, or a family getaway. We certainly plan on coming back.

WONDERFUL TIME!

This rental is a hidden treasure! Only a short drive to Nashville and was in a perfect central location for our needs. The master bedroom has the most comfortable bed i’ve ever slept in. I’m quite picky ability cleanliness and the house was in immaculate shape! Property owners were very accommodating and helpful in making sure we had everything we needed. We made memories here that will last a lifetime, and can’t wait to go again!

Best family vacation ever

If you want peace, quiet, no distractions and a beautiful location to enjoy uninterrupted time with your family, this is the place. Jerry and Janice created the most precious retreat for us to unwind and enjoy the quiet and solitude we needed for our Christmas retreat (the decorations were dreamy!). They were attentive and so helpful throughout our stay, and really made the trip special for us. We will be back for sure and have already shared this hidden treasure with our friends in South Florida. Jerry, you will be getting lots of calls from our friends who are looking to stay at your property! Thank you for everything. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Stunning place!

What a fantastic place this is. First of all, this is a beautiful property in a very quiet setting with 100% privacy. Its spotless clean and it has all amenities you can think if. The log house was built a couple of years ago and has been furnished with very high quality furniture and equipment. There are also tons of things to do. With over 163 acres of private property all by yourself one can go biking, hiking or fishing without every having to leave the property. The fire pit and grill are great for relaxing and preparing food, and there are lots of games (indoor and outdoor) to not have to be bored. The host, Jerry, is extremely responsive and welcoming, and he showed us around his properties and also took us to the Yellow Creek. I very highly recommend this property to anyone who wants to relax in a quiet environment with all the amenities and luxury one needs.

This is no ordinary cabin in the woods

We had a couple of requirements (comfort, nature, water) needed for a successful getaway weekend and from the looks of the Yellow Creek Log Cabin Retreat we might have found it. Boy, did we ever... From the moment we crossed the creek and opened the front door we were blown away at the detail and craftsmanship that had carefully gone into the re-construction of this beautiful old Tennessee cabin. We were fortunate enough that Jerry and Janice (the owners) were able to meet us and give us a quick tour. Everywhere we looked we were met with the beautiful tones of walnut, oak, maple, pecan, and tobacco stained boards and beams. As Jerry explained how they had moved this piece of history log by log to it's current perch on top of a hill overlooking the creek below you could feel his optimism and pride. The idea of a cramped, dingy cabin immediately dissapeared as the entryway opened into the cathedral ceilings of the living area, giving the space an openness reminescent of a hunting lodge twice it's size. On the walls, were the incredible trophies of game, fish and fowl from Jerry's adventures all over the world as a professional guide and outfitter, and a giant brown bear we called "harry" loomed tall beside the stone fireplace. The small but comfortable kitchen was outfitted with everything you could possibly need. From the Keurig and Hotpoint coffee makers to the dishes, utensils and supplies, it was like we were at home. Another suprising feature was the appliances and electronics. Everything was top of the line and in perfect working order. The TV's, located throughout the house, (if you choose to use them) were outfitted with DISH network and the internet (Hughe's Net) although slow, was capable of the only tasks you should be doing in a place like this. The new firepit, with fresh cut wood and kindling, was a hit with the kids as was the functional self service outhouse. We could've stayed in the cabin and never ventured outside and been perfectly satisfied. But... the outdoor experience was what we enjoyed most. We were able to roam the trails with Kawasaki Mule, wade the creeks, hunt indian relics, and swim and fish in the deeper pools of the Yellow Creek branch located nearby. What truly made the trip unique was Jerry and Janice and their desire to share the home they had worked so hard on with others. If you want an experience that will transport you back in time, yet still offers the conviences you expect. You've found it

Beautiful Cabin Get-away

Our stay at this Vrbo cabin was nothing short of spectacular! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The check-in process was seamless and hassle-free, making it easy to settle in and start enjoying our vacation right away. The cabin itself was beyond amazing—cozy, impeccably clean, and beautifully designed. We were thrilled to wake up each morning to the sight of deer and turkey roaming nearby, which added a magical touch to our stay. The beds were incredibly comfortable, providing the perfect night’s sleep after days filled with adventure. The property was absolutely gorgeous, with stunning views and a serene atmosphere that made it hard to leave. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, making this cabin a true gem. We can’t wait to return and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, nature-filled getaway. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!!Thank You again!!!

Unique to the Max

What a unique home and property! Where you can you stay in bonafide cabin replete with animal mounts (it's like a museum) and vintage decor but with all the modern conveniences to make for a comfortable stay. To top it off, you would be hard pressed to find a more hospitable and helpful host/owner than Jerry and his wife! Not only are they top of the shelf hosts, it's worth your time to draw out of them their life experiences. Talk about unique!

Peace and Tranquility in the Wilderness

Jerry and his wife have quite the hidden gem with this listing. If you want seclusion and quite this is the place. The history behind the cabin property is very cool and the daily visit of the turkeys, that you see outside the windows of the cabin, was neat being an outdoorsman. Jerry is a very gracious and hospitable host and will go out of his way to ensure you get what you need. Will definitely be back to try the creek fishing more as this trip just had to much going on with a Wedding. Worth the visit for sure.

Perfectly Peaceful Place

My family and I had the most wonderful time at this beautiful retreat. It's perfectly located with beautiful surroundings and a nice creek that you can hear while sitting out on the spacious porch at night. The grandchildren enjoyed playing in the creek. There is a wonderful firepit where you can gather around a fire at night with friends or family. The host is the best and very friendly and provided everything that we needed. We can't wait to get together again at this lovely and perfectly located log house.

Third stay here…

We found this place in October 2020 during the height of the pandemic. Because it was out of the way, we figured that we could get people together to celebrate my 50th birthday. This we did. And we’ve been back every year since. It remains out of the way, and Jerry remains a remarkable host. He told us that he likes to meet all his guests. One can see why. He’s engaging, funny, witty. Mostly, he just cares about people. That is evident from the way he treats his guests. The place itself is spacious, well-stocked, and well-equipped. You will find more in the kitchen than you are perhaps used to from a VRBO property. In fact, during that first stay, we needed a cast iron skillet. Jerry was only too happy to provide one. And it’s like that with everything there. If you are not happy, ask. If something needs to be made right, it will be.

Yellow Creek Retreat 💛

Jerry was a wonderful host. Very prompt with any questions or concerns that arose during our stay. The cabin was beautifully decorated and very clean. The family really enjoyed our outdoor time walking trails, playing in the creek in front of the cabin, and playing basketball and horseshoes. The fishing was also excellent. My husband, his father, and brother caught at least 10 fish each on their canoeing trip on the Yellow River. Hopefully, we will be back in the spring!

We are retired bankers from Nashville.

Why they chose this property

Old house was on the property when I bought it, so I moved it to save and restore. It is one of a kind with so much detail in finishing the home. Decorating it was a blast according to my wife. Watch out for the brown bear standing in the dogtrot.

What makes this property unique

Private 185 acres to explore. Joins a private 4000 acre game preserve . Visit old house site where the cisterns still intact with cold spring water running 24 hrs a day. Set in rocker on front porch with a glass of wine and chill out while sun goes down and watch kids play in the creek. Very serene.
