About this property

Mosaic Villa-Riverfront Retreat for Two-Downtown

🪩 MOSAIC VILLA
❤️ FALL SPECIAL: Stay 2 nights, get your 3rd night on us!
Mosaic Villa is a one-of-a-kind riverside retreat for two, tucked among the trees along the Calfkiller River in Sparta, Tennessee.

Created by artists, Mosaic blends original artwork, handcrafted details and eclectic design with the quiet beauty of the river. It’s intimate, private and anything but ordinary.

🌊 BRING THE OUTSIDE IN

One of Mosaic’s most memorable features is its oversized garage door, opening the living space directly onto your expansive private deck.

Wake up to the trees and river. Have coffee with the door open. Watch the light change across the water as the day unfolds.

Here, the river isn’t just a view. It’s part of the experience.

🎨 ART IN EVERY DETAIL

Mosaic was made by hand, with creativity woven into the space.

The custom mosaic bathroom, original artwork, unexpected furnishings and playful details give the villa its name—and its personality.

Look closely and you’ll keep finding something new.

🛁 YOUR PRIVATE SPACE

Designed for two adults, Mosaic offers a queen bed, full bathroom with a freestanding tub, kitchenette, Wi-Fi, smart projector and screen, record player with classic albums, Bose speaker and mini fridge.

Outside, your private deck overlooks the river, with a hammock, seating and space to simply settle in.

🔥 SLOW DOWN

Gather around the fire, make s’mores, listen to the water or spend an evening beneath the stars.

There is plenty to do nearby, but Mosaic makes it remarkably easy to do absolutely nothing.

🏙️ WALK TO SPARTA

Mosaic is located on a quiet dead-end road but is still within walking distance of downtown Sparta.

Grab dinner, browse local shops or head out to explore the waterfalls, trails and waterways of the Cumberland Plateau.

Then come back to the river.

🐾 BRING YOUR PUP

Well-behaved dogs are welcome at Mosaic Villa.

Pet fee: $20.

🌈 EVERYONE IS WELCOME

Heart Rock Hideaway is LGBTQ+ friendly and welcomes guests of every background, identity and expression.

We believe kindness, respect and feeling comfortable being yourself should be part of every stay.

Come as you are.

❤️ MAKE IT MOSAIC

If you’re looking for a place with character, privacy and a little magic, choose your dates and come see what makes Mosaic different.

The river is waiting.

Absolutely charming for a getaway. Came to the area for hiking and waterfalls. It was the perfect place to come back to every evening and sit on the deck listening to the waterfall just up the river. The artwork is unique and relaxing. The cabin is perfect for 1-2 people, traveling solo it has plenty of space. The hosts responded quickly to any questions, the cabin was very clean, and I loved the robe! Would highly recommend a stay here, convenient to the downtown area but nicely tucked away on the river.

What a fantastic weekend getaway! The cabin was so charming, and the hosts were incredible, Rachel and Steph gave us so many wonderful recommendations. The town was filled with friendly locals and AMAZING RESTAURANTS! Spent the weekend chasing waterfalls during the day and spent the evenings dancing around the cabin to different records.

Nature Getaway

Lovely time enjoying the peaceful sounds of the river, birds, and the wind blowing through the trees while relaxing on the deck or laying in bed with the “garage” door open. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet getaway.
