It was a cute cottage, we picked the location for the hiking nearby and it was a short drive to each place we went. Was perfect for what we were wanting!

Great spot for a family getaway to explore the nearby state parks. Super clean and well equipped for a smaller place. We would definitely recommend it.

Wonderful place to stay

Not only was this VRBO one of the best-decorated homes we have ever stayed in, it was also by far the cleanest. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again in the future.

The cottage was as described and pictured. Communication with the host was concise, the rental was clean and nicely furnished, as well as being well stocked. We loved having a firm mattress to rest on each night; we have found many rental beds have very soft mattresses, and we welcome finally finding one that has a firm mattress like we prefer. The location is close to several state parks with waterfall hikes, and a neighbor down the road has some unique “farm animals”, to include a camel and two emu. I’d be happy to stay here again.

As advertised, great view good location for hikes or just sight seeing. Cooked outside every night, fire pit area looked great, but was too warm to use. Would definitely stay again

Romantic Weekend Getaway

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our brief time away and we impressed with this property and all there is to do in Sparta and surrounding areas. Truly some great food/drink and beautiful nature all around. The house was well furnished and had everything we needed.

Beautiful house in a beautiful location right on the water. Unfortunately it was a rainy wknd, but we had a wonderful stay and it was very relaxing and comfortable to be indoors. This place had everything we needed and was so pretty.

Great cottage

The cottage was simply outstanding. Extremely clean and well apportioned. i was very happy with it. We had a hard time connecting through the VRBO app prior to my stay; however, once that issue of notifications was fixed, the response time from Livia was extremely fast. would love to stay there again.

Weekend get away

The hubby and I just wanted a quiet weekend getaway and this place definitely delivered. It was beautiful and cozy. It’s close to crossville and cookeville but far enough away at the same time. We enjoyed the fire pit and just looking at the river from the back deck. The only complaint is the bed was firm and my back likes a softer mattress. All in all this is a fantastic property!

As I mentioned in the guest book this location is perfect if you have a hiking trip planned in the area.The house is placed perfectly to hit Rock Island State Park as well as Falls Creek Falls State Park.The amenities were great- kitchen was great and had all we needed, shower pressure was great, added bonus the TV had a Roku for evening entertainment. If I had to nitpick something, the beds were more firm than I like but I'd 10000% stay here again. Likely one of the cleanest rentals I've ever seen...not a single sign of any bugs, live or dead....which is rare in this kind of area.

Very relaxing

Beautiful home and property but the online pictures were a bit deceiving. Online pics made property look more secluded than it was. Several houses next door.

Great getaway

Had a lovely couple days. The house had a great layout and decor for us. The kitchen was well stock for our small meals we prepared. Rained the few days we were there but there was a lovely outside area we definitely would take advantage of next time. The beds were a little too hard and uncomfortable for our liking but the connivence of everything else made it worth it. Also, enjoyed the selection of game and puzzles they had. The hosts were also very communicative and offered wonder recommendations when we asked. Definitely would book again
