Take it easy at this unique waterfront retreat just 30 minutes from downtown Nashville. Nestled along Sycamore Creek and just around the bend from the Cumberland River, this peaceful escape offers the perfect blend of nature, comfort, and outdoor adventure.
Less than a mile away, you’ll find the scenic Cumberland River Bicentennial Trail, featuring a trestle bridge and beautiful river views—ideal for walking, biking, or simply taking it all in.
Spend your days enjoying the water from private porches and cozy conversation areas, or head out from the private dock. A public boat launch is conveniently located less than ¼ mile away. Guests also have access to a kayak, an extra-wide paddleboard, and multiple outdoor living spaces—including a fire pit with metal rockers, a covered porch, a grill-side pergola, and even an outdoor shower.
Inside, the home features two comfortable bedrooms—a king suite downstairs and a queen bedroom upstairs—along with a newly remodeled bathroom with a walk-in shower. The downstairs living area includes a bar and record player, perfect for music, cocktails, and winding down after a day on the water.
Evenings here are something special—grill dinner, watch boats drift by, and listen to the sounds of nature (including the resident owl across the creek). End the night under a sky full of stars.
The fully fenced yard provides added peace of mind for guests traveling with dogs, while maintaining a clean and relaxing environment for everyone.
Perfect for couples, small groups, or a peaceful getaway, this Riverhouse offers a one-of-a-kind waterfront experience.

What great guests you were for us!! Thank you for staying at the Riverhouse, being great communicators and very clean guests too! You are the kind of people that make hosting wonderful. Next time you need a get away, make your way back to the river, we will happily host you and your group.
Property is very well maintained and clean. Loved being able to sit outside and watch the river and boats go by. Owner was very easy to communicate with any time we had questions. Husband and I enjoyed our stay very much a great place to get away.

Tammy, we appreciate the thought behind your review and agree that the time spent by the river is remarkable. You guys were super clean guests and effective communicators, and we feel fortunate to have hosted you.
It was the perfect place to come home too after a day of sightseeing. Beds were so comfortable. Loved the balcony and the view facing the river. We will go back and stay longer to utilize all the amenities available such as kitchen outside!

Thank you, Kindra. You and your group were wonderful guests to host. We understand that traveling can be tiring, so we strive to make the bedding experience as enjoyable as possible. We appreciate the feedback you provided us. Come back soon and enjoy the outdoor kitchen!!
Loved the property - it was so beautiful and peaceful. Leaves were still changing colors, river/lake is so pretty behind the house. The house was perfect for us - Melisa even double checked what they had to be sure we had or brought everything we needed to cook a family Thanksgiving! While house is set up for about 4 people, we had 7 of us for dinner and it was perfect! Beds were comfy, lots of nice towels, throws to snuggle on the couch with. We'll be back!

Thank you for being wonderful guests and making use of our inviting space and well appointed kitchen. One of our goals as hosts is to ensure our guests are able to enjoy the outdoors, the water views as well as the amenities inside the home. Happy you enjoyed your stay. Come see us again!
We loved this property. It is exactly what was expected. We appreciated the cleanliness of the house as well. We enjoyed the views and the over all welcoming essence of the house and property. Melisa was very helpful and left enough details that we didn’t have questions. I hope others get to enjoy the relaxing property and get out of the city! Thank you again!!!

We were both excited and honored to host such a special time for you, Eryn. You were great guests, so thank you for taking care of our special getaway.
We hope to offer many more the same experience that you two enjoyed on the river.
And yes, we agree with your recommendation, get out of the city, enjoy our water views, the local wildlife, gaze upon the stars, bait a line, kayak, do whatever it takes to make your get away to the Riverhouse!
Whether drinking coffee on the porch in the mornings or gathering in the gazebo by the grill in the evenings we thoroughly enjoyed this property. Lots of thoughtful touches and accent lighting. Especially smart to provide lights on all stairs on an unfamiliar property.

Robert, you and your group are welcome back anytime, thank you. We will continue to work hard to ensure everyone feels at home at the Riverhouse.
This is the PERFECT spot for a relaxing weekend! The first thing you notice is the picturesque outdoor setup right beside the River. There are plenty of spots to choose to lounge- around the fire pit, under the porch, the upstairs porch, by the outdoor kitchen, or (like we did) bring your camp chairs and sit out on the dock! The kayak was an added bonus and was a fun morning workout! We sat outside and read for the whole weekend, but inside was perfect, too! The kitchen is well stocked, the beds are comfy, and it is so clean! If I could live here, I would!
Host was quickly responsive.
