About this property

Rooster's Roost of Bells Cove

Tranquility defined!
Situated on a hill surrounded by the glorious South Cumberland mountains, and hundreds of acres of rolling green fields, this captivating cottage is irresistible. It's Curry and Ives setting alone is worthy of framing.
From the late 1800s, this humble dwelling was home to multiple generations of one of the early families in Bell's Cove.

Important Note: Ladybugs are very common in our region. Certain times a year we do experience some ladybugs inside of homes. Please know that all lady bugs are removed by housekeepers during the cleaning process, but are likely to be back quite quickly in large quantities.
Fortunately, it has been restored and renovated with incredible skill, and with a deep love and abiding commitment to its history by two dedicated descendants.

The rusticity of its 100 plus year old origins has been retained, yet it's inner beauty has been brought out with a refined flair! This meticulous renovation is so stylish and...simply exquisite..

Accented with original stone fireplaces, vintage and repurposed materials, antique furnishings, and updated with the latest in amenities, it is an experience not to be missed!

A beautiful kitchen and charming bath, add to the comfort of your 'get away from the rat race' time here.
Sleeps six comfortably in three large bedrooms, on gorgeous vintage style queen beds! All with lush mattresses, and dressed in cozy comforters and fluffy pillows. You're completely surrounded by beautiful wood floors, walls and ceilings, and are guaranteed to awake refreshed and replenished!

Large and perfectly outfitted kitchen makes preparing meals easy!

You're surrounded by history, surrounded by the seclusion and serenity of the countryside, with all the comforts and more of home.

This delightful cottage is filled with family mementos, beautiful furnishings and linens, and wonderful vintage 'rooster' memorabilia, hence its name, Rooster's Roost. The photos don't do this spectacular property justice!

Beautiful views are available from several beautifully designed outdoor patios and porches with lots of gathering choices.

Wonderful fire pit, grilling area, and lovely vintage Adirondack chairs on the covered side porch with views of the expansive tree dotted lawn. What a fabulous spot for a glass of wine or a morning coffee!

Huge front porch with outdoor dining area, a classic Southern porch swing, and flowers and trees surrounding you with beauty and fragrance.

Wander the expansive lawn on the way to the pond amidst fruit and colorful specimen trees. Relax in country blue Adirondacks that are shaded under the ancient apple tree, overlooking the peaceful pond with the new cantilevered dock. You will often see deer sharing this beautiful space!

Just minutes from The Caverns for amazing concert experiences, the quaint mountain villages of Sewanee, Monteagle and Tracy City, the spectacular State Parks of our beautiful mountains loaded with waterfalls, rock climbing, and amazing hiking. And just minutes to the Interstate.

All of which makes this amazing property an incredibly accessible, yet pristinely private, dream come true! You will never regret nor never forget your experience at Roosters Roost!"

Great spot near The Caverns

Great location within a relatively easy 20 min drive from The Caverns. There is a nice kitchen with all the amenities and a lovely outdoor dining area to make a nice dinner before heading to the show. Will book again if I am in the area.

One Night Stay

We throughly enjoyed our stay at this sweet home! We were in town for a concert at the Caverns and although we didn’t spend much time at the home, we left wanting more! The house was perfect for 3 couples and the 1 bathroom wasn’t really an issue for us. Our only draw back, was that there was no central air conditioning, but the fans provided in the home helped circulate the cool air from the wall unit in the kitchen. The kitchen was well stocked and we really enjoyed having a wonderful fire on such a beautiful night. Overall, it was a wonderful stay- we’ll be back! Oh! and if you visit, don’t forget your fishing poles!

Beautiful!!!

We stayed two nights on our way down south. The seclusion of the property brought us the feeling of being able to relax into our vacation immediately. Restaurants were available by a very scenic and memorable drive. Being able to stay in a historic location was a stunning experience. Large bedrooms, great mattresses, kitchen and bath. Additional cozy seating to be able to watch the games would bring this property to perfection. We will be back!

Enjoyed our stay! Would go there again...!

The house is cute and 3 bedrooms met our needs. Having one bathroom is challenging and one of the bedrooms doesn't have a door and opens to the foyer. The noise from the interstate can be loud at times, but the yard is beautiful and we loved the outdoor space with the firepit. We would stay there again.

Fabulous Farmhouse

Rooster's Roost is a delightful place to stay, just minutes from Monteagle and the Fiery Gizzard trail. My sweetheart and I try to hike Fiery Gizzard at least once a year and this has been our favorite stay of the last few years. We definitely recommend.

Beautiful home and property!

Wish we had been in the area for a longer stay. The house was decorated beautifully. Loved the style. Our puppy loved running around the yard. She is used to the space at home. Makes for a tired puppy at bedtime! Would definitely stay again if in the area.

Indian Summer

It was unexpectedly hot for September when we stayed in the cabin. I was surprised to find one window air conditioner in the kitchen and a mobile a/c in one of the 3 bedrooms. There were floor fans in every room. The a/c did not cool our room well. The fan was helpful.We liked the cabin and location. I

Lovely country setting

This 3 bedroom house had all we needed for our visit to The Caverns. Nice country setting with fire pit and outdoor patio seating and front porch seating. Great value and great location. The living area was very small, but we didn’t spend time inside so not an issue. The space heater in one bedroom was a little noisy. Overall we would come back due to the close location to The Caverns.

Charming home

This beautiful historic property was just what we needed for our brief stay in the area. We arrived late, unfortunately, but with enough time to cook a meal in the kitchen and explore a bit before turning in. Everything we needed was at hand. All of the beds were so comfortable. We rose early and visited the chickens, made coffee and poked around a bit, before we had to take off again. It was just right for our family of 2 adults + 2 teenagers, visiting the university. I wish we’d had longer to stay, but enjoyed our short visit!

Like going back in time home was beautifully furnished just wish we had more time. Would like to go back sometime for a week. Have to tell this story, our GPS said we were at our destination so we get out try the code does not work thought maybe lock was on a timer, we were a little early so waited tried again still nothing called owner and he said he’d be right there, in the meantime a truck pulls up and people get out and said they had booked there too got to talking and discover our place was up the road next house. We’re just there for one night going to concert at The Caverns

Shabby chic

We were in the area for a concert at The Cavern’s. It’s a bit of a drive considering the backroads, but not bad. We wish it had been a summer stay where we could have enjoyed the outside of the property more. Cute back patio with grill and fire pit, pond and chickens on the property. There were space heaters in each room so we stayed very comfy. The kitchen has everything you would need. Fun little getaway in a rustic cabin/home on a nice patch of land in the countryside.

Beautiful home but very unhappy stay

The home inside and out was everything that was listed. However, upon arriving inside the house we killed 4 to 5 spiders alive crawling up the walls as well found 2 live spiders in 2 of the 3 beds. In one of the beds the, dog hair was all in the covers and the sheets did not appear to be clean. I had a 9 week old baby with us and barely slept out of fear of a spider getting on him. For an adult to be bit, is one thing, but a baby that small, is another. Part of my family would not even stay with us because when they walked in the door, there was a spider crawling in front of them. They had to go to the next town over to get a room. I have waited multiple day before posting this because i wanted to give the homeowner a chance to reach back out to me from where I emailed and text the email addresses and phone numbers given, however, i have not heard from him.

Escape to the farmhouse

My husband and I were evacuated from Helene and that was combined with a visit to our daughter at a nearby college. Our trip had its ups and downs, but our accommodations couldn’t have been better. The flexibility of the host and the well appointed home made a difficult situations much better!
