Our stay was excellent. The cabin was cute and very clean. The community if cabins was very nice. We enjoyed a walk around the property the evening we stayed and again the next morning. The privacy around the hot tub was a plus. Would definitely stay here again!

This was a wonderful place to stay. You are close to just about everything. The weather was too hot to enjoy the hot tub, but it was ready if we needed it. You could use a larger coffee maker. Had to make to pots. We will definitely stay again. Maybe try a different cabin.Chuck and Sharon

The Ernie was a lovely "tiny" cabin. Very well appointed for the two of us! We chose the location for it's proximity to my cousin's brewery! It was our first time in TN, and the entire experience was great!

Quiet retreat

My fiance and I wanted an easy vacation with our doggo. It was so easy to get to dog friendly destinations (such as Rock City) from the cabin. It was a bit hard to make the turn into the area though.

Nice unit, hot tub extremely clean. Actually saw the maintenance draining the hot tub next door!

I would recommend staying in Ernie Unit. It is at the back of the neighborhood and only has one neighbor. The unit has a lovely view of the forest! I would stay again. Well maintained and Great Location!

The perfect get-away.

We loved our cabin. It was very clean and met all our needs. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. Its tucked away nicely from the hustle and bustle of city life. Yes, there is an active train track close by but we were not phased by it at all. We will definitely book here again!

Great getaway

This was a clean environment. Family friendly with a playground. Train went through quietly and didn't hear it at night. The first night we stayed it stormed bad enough to knock down limbs and trees. The property managers was quick to react with the cleanup and it was all clear the same day. They was concerned about the well being of the visitors and check to make sure everyone was ok. I will definitely stay again.

This property is located between a busy 4 lane highway and a very active train track. There was so much noise that it was almost impossible to sleep at night. The property had ear plugs and a noise machine in the property and suggested that we use those to get sleep. We checked out a day early, exhausted from lack of sleep.

GREAT TINY CABIN

Everything was great. Easy access upon arrival. Very very clean. Love the front patio with the hot tub in the back. A/C works greats as I am a person that has hot flashes at night so I like it cold. This cabin is far enough away that the train is not that loud. Liked that you they offer hand soap in the kitchen and bath room. I was worried my husband was going to be to tall he is 6'5 but he could stand in the shower though he said he didnt have much head room. The kitchen had everything you need if you did want to go out and cook. The cabin was close to everything. Most definitey coming back.
