About this property

Whispering Waters Cabin by The Creek

Whispering Waters Cabin was built in 1936 adjacent to a great spring in rural Northwestern Williamson County. The structure did not have any indoor plumbing until 1992, when I got tired of using the outhouse and washing in the creek under the bridge. The setting is surrounded by woods and lots of water, wildlife critters and many varieties of birds, including my two favorites: the Wood Thrush and seasonal Humming Birds. It's a quiet spot in an otherwise busy and congested world, that offers a safe haven for as long as the guest wishes to stay. The front porch is a wonderful and relaxing spot to listen to the creek and birds. The cabin itself has only four rooms, but they are spacious and inviting. The fully supplied kitchen is ready for "gourmet" visitors interested in all things "gastronomical"! Or simply order out! There is on the property a large organic garden that I tend to all year, and a berry patch with in season blueberries galore! The rooster on the ridge due east of the front porch vocalizes throughout the day. Other than that, it's a peaceful little place on this great planet that I call home, and invite you to visit!

I cannot express enough how incredible this property is. Stuart was a gracious host, very communicative, and the love he has for this cabin shines through. The attention to detail he puts into hosting showed such genuine concern for his guests and 5 stars is not nearly enough. This was the best experience I have ever had using VRBO and I am already planning my next trip. Thank you so much!

This is such an adorable cabin. Functional, super clean, and well stocked. It’s exactly as described. Stuart was an excellent host and he even left some fresh flowers for my arrival which felt very welcoming. He was easily reachable throughout my stay. The yard is a really good size and my dog really liked exploring it. One of my favorite things about the cabin was all the wildflowers in the front yard. Absolutely beautiful. Love this place.

Our stay at Whispering Waters Cabin was wonderful! The bed and couch were very comfortable. The setting was so peaceful, and we enjoyed walking the grounds and picking some blueberries. We also made use of the French press and enjoyed tea and coffee on the porch listening to the stream. We will definitely be back.

Billie, I appreciate your staying on Caney Fork Creek at my humble cabin! I've tried several options to make T.V. available, but to no avail. Cable does not run down the road. I looked into a satellite dish, but I'd have to cut down the 200 year old Oak tree, and the 100 year old Tulip Poplar to get a southern view for the dish, and I'm unwilling to do that. The good news is that fiber optic does run down the road, so if anyone brings a laptop or tablet, they can watch anything their hearts desire! I hope you visit again someday.

About the host

Hosted by Stuart McFarland Moore

Host profile image
I am a 7th generation Tennessean raised in Nashville. My parents are cousins, who met for the first time when they were mere children. That makes my siblings my cousins as well. Welcome to the South! I moved to this country setting in Williamson County in December of 1990. The cabin had no indoor plumbing, no insulation in the walls, and a "used to the max" outhouse. So I dug a deep hole and made a new one. Yes, in the dead of winter, it is a race to and from, but I would change nothing for the first couple of years spent here. If nothing else, I makes one appreciate so many things that are otherwise taken for granted in our First World Nation!

I spend most of my time out doors in the landscape and gardening industry. Reading is one of my greatest pastimes (English major in college, History minor). I grow vegetables on the property, organically, of course! Sustainability issues specifically and environmental stewardship in general are passions of mine, which I am always happy to share with any guest that is interested.

Why they chose this property

This property because, the peace and quiet we truly need in our lives, on occasion, in this modern country of ours, is to be found here on Caney Fork Creek!

What makes this property unique

The uniqueness of the property is in part the environment setting coupled with the cabin quickly approaching 100 years standing. It was constructed of rough cut oak; driving a nail into the studs is near impossible! It is located maybe 20 yards from a great flowing spring, which explains its exact location, and Caney Fork Creek is just across the street, however, when it was built, todays road was more cow path than road. The abundant water cools the air, and in some mysterious way, invigorates the senses! A giant oak adjacent to the spring must be at least 150 years in the making. Three people can't hardly get their arms around it, fingers touching. Another creek flows on the northern boundary of the property. The wind sings - the creek whispers - the awe of it all prevails and a sense of peace ensues! Come see for yourself!!!
