About this property

Talley's Cabins and Breakfast By Dale Hollow Lake. Right Where You Want To Be!

Talley's Cabins' and Breakfast is a privately owned getaway nestled in the hills of Northeast Tennessee (Upper Cumberland Plateau). Comfortable, clean, and quaint. We are located in Hilham, TN in Clay County. This cabin is located on 47 acres that includes trails for hiking and enjoying the outdoors. There are multiple creeks and waterfalls on the property.

Some nearby attractions include Dale Hollow Lake, Mitchell Creek Marina, Standing Stone State Park, Cummins Falls State Park and we are only 20 minutes away from three quaint county seats: Celina, Gainesboro and Livingston. The larger town of Cookeville is 45 minutes away.


This Cabin includes:

- Large HD TV with Roku
- WiFi (500mg download)
- Hot tub
- Central Air/Heat
- Fire pit for those s’mores and hotdogs
- Beautiful views and large front and back porches with swings
- 47 acres of trails for exploring and hiking
- Multiple creeks and cascading waterfalls
- Fully stocked kitchen complete with microwave and coffee pot
- Tank-less water heater (It always aggravated me in places I’ve stayed and would run out of hot water! Not at TC&B!)
- King size bed
- Grill
- Games (eg., Monopoly, cards)
- Linens supplied
- Accommodates: 2

- No Smoking
- No Pets

We are in small, peaceful and secluded county. There are no interstates or major airports in our area. The Dale Hollow Lake area is truly a hidden secret and gem. Local TN folks knows just how beautiful the rolling hills and lake is. We are about 20 mins from the marina.

1.Please review our Guest Cabin Book from our website ( under General information. It contains all types of useful information about the cabin and area.

2.If you are GPS’ing your directions to us: Use 764 Hickory Lane, Hilham Tn.

3.It is always easier getting here in the daylight. These country roads are kinda dark at night

4.Please note there are no close-by grocery stores, so you may want to bring grocery’s with you, instead of getting here and then heading back out to a store (about 20 mins).

5.Cell service is extremely limited on the drive in; AT&T is non-existent, although a bar or two once at the cabin. Other providers are spotty.

Our area does not house the standard local chains/commerce. This is no hustle or bustle here :) Our local commerce are Mom&Pop shops offering the essentials and a heaping of country charm and hospitality.

As you drive down the gravel road of Hickory Lane, look for a large 6' tin rooster on your right by a large painted rock with our logo and sign on it. Turn Right onto gravel driveway and drive straight going through the red cattle gates. Drive straight down the driveway staying to your Right. At the bottom of the driveway turn Left and go straight to cabin #1 which just past the red barn.

Relaxing

We had a great time getting away from the daily stresses of life. It was a very relaxing atmosphere. Enjoyed the trails and hot tub. Bed was cozy. I love chickens and was tickled with the farm fresh eggs left in our cabin for breakfast! We are already planning to return!

Cabin in the woods

Lovely cabin in the middle of the woods. It's a good drive if you want to go anywhere, but it's great for hiking or just hanging out in the hot tub. Fresh eggs in the morning, good internet, and lots of solitude; this worked quite well for me,

A little slice of heaven

This is the second time we have stayed at Talley’s Cabins, but it won’t be our last! We LOVE it here. It’s a beautiful location, and it’s perfect for our long weekend getaways. The Talleys are always the perfect hosts and provide the cleanest property, the best breakfast items, and the easiest check in and check out processes. We have not been disappointed with anything ever. We will absolutely find a way to get back here before summer! (And maybe during summer!) Don’t miss out on this gem!

Cozy Romantic Getaway

My husband and I were looking for a weekend away from the hustle and bustle. We ended up finding much more than that! Steve and Dana's property is beautiful and private. The cabin was beyond perfect with hot tub, porch swing, hammock, and fire pit. The homemade breakfast berry puff was just the cherry on top, a very delicious bonus. This was probably the first vacation we have ever come home and felt truly well-rested. We cannot thank Steve and Dana enough for the most romantic and relaxing getaway we have ever had!

Its a bit of a trick getting to the cabin, but the directions the hosts gave were enough to get us there. I would not try for the 1st time in the dark. Other than that it was wonderful. My wife couldn't stop with isn't this cute? I appreciated the abolute quiet of the area.

The Peace I Needed

I am from the area but live in Florida now and for my birthday all I wanted was a weekend of peace and slow pace. That is exactly what I got with this Cabin. It was beautiful, the owners are wonderful, and I will be honest, I may have shed a few tears when it was time to check out because I didn't want to leave. My favorite was starting my morning on the back porch swing listening to the birds.

Quiet and secluded

This is the perfect place for a quiet getaway. The property was nice with some trails and lots of fossils to find. The cabin was tucked away, out of sight of any of the other cabins. It was clean and comfortable. Light pollution was minimal so the stars were bright and vibrant. And because the hot tub is drained and refilled before each check-in, it’s not overly treated with caustic chemicals, making it soooo much nicer than most vacation rental hot tubs. The free firewood, breakfast, and snacks also put this rental ahead of the rest. Definitely recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Steve and Dana Talley

Host profile image
Dana and I have had the hospitality vision for a while now. We started this adventure in 2012. We would just hop in the Jeep and take off and explore all the surrounding counties of Nashville. We knew what we wanted and we found it the beautiful hills of Clay county and Dale Hollow Lake.

We are Christian based and truly are blessed. We pray God is in your life and working His miracles.

Come visit us, we would love to make new friends. www.talleyscabins.com
