About this property

Rustic cabin over looking Cordell Hull Lake

This is a great place to get away for peace and quiet! It is also within a few steps to the water!! Great for fishing, kayaking, and a mile to a boat ramp! It is located a half mile to Salt Lick Campgrounds! This is a very old log home rebuilt in 2017. If you like rustic and being in the country this is the cabin for you! The cabin has a breath taking view of water!! You can see animals right from the front porch, such as, deer and lots more!!

Perfect for all your needs. Perfect host. This cabin is very peaceful with no distractions. Many state parks with beautiful waterfalls and trails with a short distance. We will definitely be booking this cabin in the future as we seen many more things to do but ran out of time.

Great, quiet, peaceful getaway.

We stayed at this cabin for a weekend getaway. The pictures don't do it justice. It was a very nice setting and everything was clean and comfortable. The owner had great communication & made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay. The only suggestions for improvement would be to provide a couple of complimentary k-cups, and cheaper kayak rental rates.

Perfect stay!

Host was outstanding and communicative at all times. View of the lake in morning was great, but the goats, horses and Todd the Great Pyrenees dog were there both mornings just waiting for attention (behind the low fence)The cabin was also perfect, although I'd recommend adding a pizza cutter. Higher recommend booking appointment.

Remote getaway

The two bedrooms with full size beds, two bathroom, queen size pull out couch, was perfect for my mother, my two children, my husband and myself! The space heaters worked nicely to keep us warm during the chilly days and nights. The beef cows right next to the cabin serenaded us one night, which was the only drawback! The next day we were able to feed one of the cows as well as the pony that was with them. We recommend an all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive to get up the gravel road to the cabin. This cabin is far from all amenities, so shop prior to arriving! LOL

Wonderful weekend in a rustic farm cabin

So happy we found this hidden gem. We are a family of four, including two young children. This cabin was perfect for a quick weekend getaway. The kids loved seeing the horses, goats, and dog on the other side of the fence. One goat in particular enjoyed being petted. We did hot dogs and s’mores at the fire pit I’m the evenings. We took a drive about ten minutes away to Wartrace Creek Park where we enjoyed swimming, fishing, and the playground. The only suggestion I would make for the owner is to replace the grill brush with a silicone brush. It was a wire brush that seemed old, and we were so worried about a wire coming off onto the grill and getting into our kids burger that we just didn’t bother brushing the grill at all.

Great cabin

The cabin was great overlooking the lake. My family enjoyed the farm animals especially the horses and the goats. Cabin was listed as a 3 bedroom but is actually a 2 bedroom with a pull out couch. But it all worked out for the 4 of us. We all loved our stay there.
