In the area for a family wedding, ideal location to the area parks and sights! Such a restful location on the water quiet with clear views of the stars from the deck. Comfortable spaces for all the guests, wished we had been able to enjoy the outdoor sitting areas more! Tucked away off the main road along the creek. Would love to come back later in fall, it has to be gorgeous with all the colors!!

Place was excellent. Super clean and comfy. Plenty of household provisions, laundry detergent (giant washers & dryer), tp, shampoo, body wash, paper towel, dishwasher pods. Lots of towels. Coffee maker with pods included. Great views of the river from the living room. Really enjoyed our stay. Went to the 3 state parks, all within 1/2 hour or so from the house. Loved the casual luxury of the house and all the available adventures including kayaking the river.

Wow! What a house! We had a nice stay at the River House. This place had every amenity you could possibly want. The location was great and close to many state parks. The fresh eggs and banana bread were a nice welcoming surprise. House is very clean and has modern amenities. The host was super nice and we enjoyed chatting with Jon and the cute dogs! Thank you again for everything. We will be back and tell everyone about this slice of heaven in Tennessee!

This was the perfect house to have a getaway and a great location for all the waterfalls we wanted and got to visit. Can't recommend this place enough! So sweet of the co-hosts to leave fresh bananas nut bread and fresh eggs but especially sweet to loan Meryl and Luna (dog and cat). They made the stay so much more fun!

This is a beautiful property with wonderful hosts. Very peaceful with occasional coyotes at night, a view and access to the river and a wonderful rural feel. House is well set up with a roomy kitchen, beautiful deck, comfortable beds. Here for our daughter's wedding at River Cliff, we found this place to be perfect location. Close to Sparta for a great meal at Brother's Tavern or a walk around the square. Hosts are very responsive and friendly. We'd move in tomorrow if we could .

Everything was perfect. We had a homemade loaf of banana bread waiting for us when we arrived. Very clean, comfortable, and felt like home. The family also enjoyed the friendly neighborhood visitors.

This was our second time staying here, and it was as amazing as the first time. The house is beautiful, clean, and right on the river. We were greeted with fresh banana bread and a dozen fresh eggs. We love our visits from Luna and Merle. And there is so much to do in the area!

Great accommodations in a great hiking area

We chose this location and rental due to location and other great reviews. It is centrally located to many state parks but there is also the option to kayak right out the back door. Large windows overlook the river with beautiful sunrises. Great options for food and ice cream (our favorite treat) nearby.

This is a very comfortable home and everything we needed was there. Communication with the host was great. We really enjoyed the out side cats who visited at least 2x day. It was nice to use the kayaks on the river. We would definitely stay again.
