This property was just as advertised, except better. Lovely home with modern appliances and very beautifully furnished. The property is spacious and very private, even though there are neighbors on both sides. The view from the front porch and inside through the picture windows is beautiful. We felt very much at "home". The bathroom and kitchen are very well stocked. The location is close to town and to several State Parks in the area. We loved our stay for the week and would definitely stay here again if we are back this way.

This was a perfect place to stay for our hiking and waterfall sightings. The town of Sparta was a short drive away and we enjoyed both breakfast and dinner there. The house has absolutely everything we needed and the view was beautiful! We would definitely recommend this stat to anyone visiting near Sparta.

This place was the highlight of our trip! We spent one night in Nashville and then headed to Sparta. This Home was absolutely darling….peaceful country living at its best! The host was full of southern hospitality. Very kind and helpful. If you plan on coming to Tennessee and want to explore the nearby waterfalls, this is an excellent spot!

What an adorable house!! My two friends and I enjoyed our stay. The house was clean, beautifully decorated, and stocked with all we needed. Jongee was easy to work with and very communicative. It's located in the country and close to Sparta's cute town square. We loved hanging out on the deck and seeing the neighbors' goats, horses and donkeys. Very relaxing!
