This was the perfect secluded getaway for my husband, myself and our three dogs. The tiny house is beautiful and the night vibes are immaculate with the outdoor lighting and fire pit. The best part of this place are the private hiking trails and the breathtaking waterfall. It’s definitely worth the drive to stay here and we plan on returning in the future!
What a wonderful tiny home this is to stay in! The house has a cute bohemian style and is super comfy. The location is amazing. Be sure to take advantage of the hiking trails right on the property. The host was extremely helpful and check-in is a piece of cake. I would highly recommend staying here!

I stayed here with my 3 boys overnight on our way home through on a roadtrip. Perfect little spot to stay. Awesome hike to a beautiful waterfall within walking distance to the trailhead. Would highly recommend!

Great tiny home in a beautiful community. Clean, tidy, and private Nice hiking trails nearby. Fun for both me and my dog. Would stay again in the future.
Our 6th Monteagle tiny home village stay. Muse was one of our favorites. The location tucked back in the woods was so nice. We had great communication with the host. A great stay. A great tiny home.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Debbie! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your boys enjoyed your stay and the hike to the waterfall. It’s always wonderful to know our guests had a memorable stop on their road trip. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Great place with everything we needed. Convenient to the hikes, restaurants, activities we wanted to do! Quiet, peaceful setting. Comfy bed. Well equipped kitchen for that size rental!
A great little getaway in the woods! I loved the privacy of this unit and the fenced yard for my service dog. Well appointed, clean unit and comfortable except for the bed.
This mini-home in the woods had so much charm and comfort
We loved the location, surrounded by woods, and was so surprised to find so many great comforts of home in this small, and very well designed, space. The kitchen had everything we needed, the bathroom and bedroom were well equipped. Great porch in the front and deck in the back, it was great!
Cute home with gray hiking on the property. The waterfall is a must see

Graduation weekend stay and retreat
The house was very comfortable, clean and modern. Enjoyed our stay. We hiked and used the fire pit. Close enough to the university for important graduation events. Great for our dog who had an area to play in. Would come back for weekend again, just to enjoy the area.
