About this property

Private/cozy Cottage in Cookeville, TN

Looking for privacy? near lots of things to do? WE HAVE IT!!! We are in Cookeville, and just a few miles to downtown and TTU- bonus big yard and quiet!!!
Stay-cation? We have WiFi for those who are working remotely and plenty of outdoor space for kids, walking, exploring.
-We would personally live in the cottage ourselves if it weren't so much fun to rent to guests!!!!!-
Great open layout, full Kitchen and room for 8 guests and covered porches on front and back!


We have a total of 78 acres on our property; the cottage is on top of a hill, with trees surrounding; nice yard area. You will not have main road noise or neighbors-great for families who have kids/pets who have never experienced just going outside to play and never having to worry about dangers near by like a road, etc. Also great for a romantic stay for a couple; very private, secluded, bring groceries and never have to leave if you do not want too!


We live on the property as well, but our home is not visible from the cottage.
We are very convenient to the towns of Cookeville, Algood, Gainesboro, Monterey, Sparta TN and surrounding area's.

3 miles from I-40 the main interstate, close to Cookeville TN and Tenn Tech University with many restaurants, shopping, etc. Very quiet and private cottage.

Covered front porch with grill (gas and propane/directly connects to tank underground-easy to use), screen in back porch-both with some outdoor sitting; fire pit in the backyard with chairs

Main level:Open floor plan with living room (TV is hung above the mantel), dining room table and kitchen; has gas fireplace in living room and full kitchen.

**Drive way is long, up hill, gravel, easily accessible, but you can't see the cottage from the road- we live on the property, so the driveway is a DAILY use/drive for us as well** When you get to top of driveway; you will see cabin in the woods-past the 2 stone columns.


**Weekends-prefer Friday and Saturday night bookings together**

This was a lovely, quiet and very comfortable cottage just outside of Cookeville, TN situated in a very private area of a small mountain. Tastefully decorated, comfortable furniture, a full kitchen with everything you need to prepare meals, and a great backyard with a fire pit made this stay so, so wonderful. We were celebrating our 33 wedding anniversary and we wanted to just get away and do some hiking & see waterfalls at the three State Parks that are a short drive. The hosts were very communicative and have done such a great job with this cottage. We missed it as soon as we drove away. We hope to be back within the next year or so for another nice stay!

Charming Home

We were so happy we chose this cottage. Our family had so much fun with the grandchildren playing in the yard, sitting on the back screened- in porch drinking coffee, and preparing home cooked meals for my grandchildren. So private and loved being back in nature. Really enjoyed our four night stay and would highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth & Nate Maxwell

Host profile image
We originally purchased this property in 1996 at an auction and at that time owned half the mountain, in 2015 we purchased the remaining acreage and the cabin. We have our home on the property as well and love it! We love the privacy and convenience of living here and the beautiful views during the fall/winter months. From our mountain you can see the entire town of Cookeville and at night with the light's it's beautiful! Elizabeth is from Nashville, but came to TN Tech for college, stayed and loves it today! Nate is born and raised in Cookeville himself. We both plan to have our 'forever' home on this mountain and to enjoy this property for our entire lives! We are very blessed and grateful to share a part our heaven with others to come and enjoy :)
We have another nightly rental property in Fairfield Glade Resort, condo style; VRBO # 1058677, 1197667, 1363286, 1363288
