This quaint cottage was exactly what we were anticipating. Beautifully rustic & a wonderful sanctuary that I hope to retreat to again. Thanks again Al.
Another great stay at this lower level Apt with private entrance, entire unit with everything needed; convenient location but off the highway for privacy and wooded view!

Thanks for staying again Scott, and hope to see you again!
We had a wonderful time at the Timber Ridge Cabin. The place was beautiful and the furniture was comfortable. It was so peaceful to look out at the wooded hills sitting inside with a cup of tea or outside in the hot tub. We plan to stay here again!
This cabin is located in a great spot! Far enough away from things that it’s quiet, but close enough to things that it’s convenient. Hosts are very friendly and accommodating. The hot tub is a major plus, especially when it’s freezing outside. We enjoyed our stay and everything was as expected.
Really great place! We may stay there again and bring some family at a later date. Great place for the price. The view cannot be matched and you’re not far from anything in Franklin, Tennessee. The hot tub was ready for use and clean, so bring a bathing suite. Plenty of hot water for showers and fast and reliable internet. You feel like it is just you and the woods around you. There is a cute neighborhood just six minutes away with small shops and plenty of restaurants. It is actually much bigger than the photos portray. Overall, a great place for a weekend getaway to escape from it all.
This is a great little place to stay and very easy to get to nearby Franklin and other historic sites. Very clean and well kept. Small things that need attention are the hot tub operation and area, the outdoor grill, the fireplace and firewood quality. The laundry is only available upon request and apparently is shared with the owner. We enjoyed our visit and if we return to the area will definitely be looking it up. Love this place.
Convenient location in a great setting. We loved it.

About the host
Hosted by Al or Karen Davis
We built this cozy, custom timber frame cabin for our home and to start a vacation rental business. We have lived in the Nashville area for 10 years and wanted to move to the country to build our dream home and enjoy the beautiful Gatlinburg-like surroundings. We have always enjoyed nature and wildlife but also wanted to be close to the modern conveniences that a city like Nashville has to offer, as well as the charm of historic Franklin and historic Leipers Fork area. The Natchez Trace Bridge is 2 miles from our home. Of course, the music aspect of our area can't be ignored!
Why they chose this property
Unique, Gatlinburg-like fall away lot. Perfect for the chalet we had in mind and had wanted for years!
