About this property

The Riverside Retreat

Beautiful & secluded. Take in the gorgeous river views while soaking in your private hot tub; gathering around a bonfire on the water's edge; stretching out on the oversized leather couch streaming your favorite show-all with your loved ones by your side-including the furry ones!

This home is the perfect blend of lovely wooded seclusion and only minutes to the Historic Lebanon Square which boasts a local coffee shop, a bookstore, local eateries, guitar store (with new & used vinyl), micro-brewery, mid-century furniture store, veterans museum (with FREE entry) and the cutest boutiques! Outdoor activities abound with a boat/kayak put in ramp 2 mins away and Cedars of Lebanon State Park only 20 mins south.

If you want the nightlife of Nashville this quiet and secluded home is only 45 mins east of Nashville; just an easy shot down I-40 to get to Music City proper. You could always take the Music City Star train downtown with the station only 12 mins away!

This welcoming space is thoughtfully curated with quality and comfort in mind. This home has all the high end touches for you to enjoy your stay without any of the pretense. Perfect stargazing nights with little light pollution and the relaxing sound of wildlife and nearby farm animals. This is a country locale so some of the local kitties may pay you a friendly visit to welcome you to "the sticks." You will hear a pup bark (or coyote across the river howl!) and a rooster crow as the pleasant backdrop of rural life.

The property was awesome. We used the hot tub several times, and the river view was absolutely fantastic. It feels rustic and peaceful, yet you're still just minutes from town, which was perfect. We brought our dogs and they loved it! The host was truly warm and friendly, which made our stay even better. My grandkids have already asked when we can come back.

This is a very nice place. You can tell the owners care about offering the best service and hospitality during your stay. We had an incident with the hot tub turning off and the owners was on it right away. I would highly recommend this vrbo to anyone. If we travel back to this area we will rebook again.

This riverfront retreat was the perfect getaway for our group of ladies to relax and get away from the chaos and the drama of a wedding. We talked drank wine and enjoyed just being together in this beautiful comfortable space. The host provided all the basic items that we needed, and even the kitchen had all the basics we needed. The beds are very comfortable. We will definitely stay again if it is available when we visit.

The host was wonderful. She responded quickly every time I sent her a message. The place is beautiful and well kept. I rented the house for more people than stayed there because I thought my granddaughters might like to stay. However, they were involved in their projects (they acted in Marshmellow productions of 101 Dalmatians and It’s a Wonderful Life). The bed in master bedroom was very comfortable. Loved our time there.
