What a unique home and property! Where you can you stay in bonafide cabin replete with animal mounts (it's like a museum) and vintage decor but with all the modern conveniences to make for a comfortable stay. To top it off, you would be hard pressed to find a more hospitable and helpful host/owner than Jerry and his wife! Not only are they top of the shelf hosts, it's worth your time to draw out of them their life experiences. Talk about unique!
Jerry and his wife have quite the hidden gem with this listing. If you want seclusion and quite this is the place. The history behind the cabin property is very cool and the daily visit of the turkeys, that you see outside the windows of the cabin, was neat being an outdoorsman. Jerry is a very gracious and hospitable host and will go out of his way to ensure you get what you need. Will definitely be back to try the creek fishing more as this trip just had to much going on with a Wedding. Worth the visit for sure.
This is our 2nd stay with Jerry and we enjoyed ourselves just as much as I remember. Canoed the creek, barbecued for supper, hiked the trails and roasted hotdog & marshmallow around the fire while catching up with old friends.
This was our second stay at Yellow Creek and it was amazing once again! Just the friendliest people you will ever meet! Property is beautiful with trails through the beautiful landscape. If you like nature, this is your place.
Thank you so much for hosting us again, can't wait to come back!
My family and I had the most wonderful time at this beautiful retreat. It's perfectly located with beautiful surroundings and a nice creek that you can hear while sitting out on the spacious porch at night. The grandchildren enjoyed playing in the creek. There is a wonderful firepit where you can gather around a fire at night with friends or family. The host is the best and very friendly and provided everything that we needed. We can't wait to get together again at this lovely and perfectly located log house.
Great spot for a more relaxed batchelor party experience
The best kept cabin I've ever stayed in. The beautiful remote property features so much to do without ever having to leave. A great place to have peace and quiet while celebrating a dear friend entering holy matrimony, or a family getaway. We certainly plan on coming back.
We found this place in October 2020 during the height of the pandemic. Because it was out of the way, we figured that we could get people together to celebrate my 50th birthday. This we did. And we’ve been back every year since.
It remains out of the way, and Jerry remains a remarkable host. He told us that he likes to meet all his guests. One can see why. He’s engaging, funny, witty. Mostly, he just cares about people. That is evident from the way he treats his guests.
The place itself is spacious, well-stocked, and well-equipped. You will find more in the kitchen than you are perhaps used to from a VRBO property. In fact, during that first stay, we needed a cast iron skillet. Jerry was only too happy to provide one. And it’s like that with everything there. If you are not happy, ask. If something needs to be made right, it will be.
Jerry was a wonderful host. Very prompt with any questions or concerns that arose during our stay. The cabin was beautifully decorated and very clean. The family really enjoyed our outdoor time walking trails, playing in the creek in front of the cabin, and playing basketball and horseshoes.
The fishing was also excellent. My husband, his father, and brother caught at least 10 fish each on their canoeing trip on the Yellow River. Hopefully, we will be back in the spring!
This is a very neat place. The history is absolutely amazing, gorgeous property, gorgeous home the owners couldn't have been any better hosts.
Janice did an amazing job setting up a beautiful tables by the barn. Jerry was an excellent host showing us the properties history and allowing us to visit the blue hole
This rental is a hidden treasure! Only a short drive to Nashville and was in a perfect central location for our needs. The master bedroom has the most comfortable bed i’ve ever slept in. I’m quite picky ability cleanliness and the house was in immaculate shape! Property owners were very accommodating and helpful in making sure we had everything we needed. We made memories here that will last a lifetime, and can’t wait to go again!
The spacious property is nice for all ages. The hot, humid temps were not even noticed while we swam in the crystal clear swimming hole and the creek. Jerry and Janice were great hosts! The fire pit was a hit each evening! Thanks for providing a place for our family memories.
No joke. The best vrbo we have ever stayed in ( and we have stayed in some pretty neat historic homes). Jerry and Janice welcomed us into their historic cabin like we were family. It was much needed. I cannot thank you two enough. Until next time.
My family enjoyed this property so much! My young boys got to play in the creek and caught their first fish. We roasted marshmallows and played outside. They also love the bear and all the other animals! Jerry made us feel at home and warmly welcomed us to his cabin. Everything in the cabin felt so nostalgic. We loved it!
We had such a great time at yellow creek retreat!
Our oldest enjoyed nature hikes, lots of splashing in the creek, and a family movie every night. Oh! And
S’mores
Wild turkeys
Fishing hole (caught over 20!)
Local swimming hole
And great hospitality from Jerry and Janice!
Excellent experience
Came up for a wedding in Dickson. 10 of us stayed. Ages 84 to 7 years old. There was something for everyone. Jerry and his wife didn't forget a single thing. Was wonderful sitting on that porch having our coffee in the mornings looking down at the creek. The kids loved playing in the water and fishing in the pond. We heard turkeys on both sides of the creek one morning. Property is so beautiful and peaceful but close enough into town to go for dinner or get supplies. Kids loved making smores in the fire pit. Some of the boys took a float trip and came back with great stories of their adventure. It was a great place for our family. Couldn't ask for better friendlier hosts. They have really put a lot of time and effort in making this truly a place to remember and want to come back to. It looks exactly as represented but better in person. Miss it already!!

Loved loved LOVED the cabin. It was perfect for a weekend getaway! The creek was beautiful and Jerry was a gracious host. We will be back when it snows to see how everything looks, covered in white! :)
This was our second time staying at YCR. Jerry is the best host you could ask for and the cabin is a dream. If we could give 6 stars, we would. Thanks again for everything!
Second time renter. A group of us visited for the second time—after discovering the place during the fall of 2020.
Jerry does not disappoint. It’s a log house, really, built in the 1850s and lovingly restored and moved to its current location.
Everything about the place is top notch, and Jerry himself is worth getting to know.
As to the specifics: it’s far enough out to seem remote, but not too far out for a trip to town to be a pain. It’s also far enough out that stargazing is not like anything you’ve ever seen in the city.
The place easily and comfortably sleeps four—which is how many we had the first time. It would sleep more—in actual beds. That said, there’s only one room that’s totally private. But it has an en suite bathroom.
All in all, a beautiful location, convenient, and with a responsible, responsive, and downright fun host.
You will not regret staying at Jerry’s place.
We enjoyed spending time in this quiet property in the country. Jerry was very nice and helpful. Check in/check out was super easy.

Why they chose this property
Old house was on the property when I bought it, so I moved it to save and restore. It is one of a kind with so much detail in finishing the home. Decorating it was a blast according to my wife. Watch out for the brown bear standing in the dogtrot.
What makes this property unique
Private 185 acres to explore. Joins a private 4000 acre game preserve . Visit old house site where the cisterns still intact with cold spring water running 24 hrs a day. Set in rocker on front porch with a glass of wine and chill out while sun goes down and watch kids play in the creek. Very serene.
