Everything was absolutely perfect. The cleaning staff was very friendly. The little gifts for the women was a lovely surprise. Can’t say enough good things about this place.

Family from TN, WI and VA met for a long weekend! Great place with plenty of space for walks in the woods/park, fire pit beers, cards/domino games, or afternoon naps! Short trip in town for distillery or wine tasting and shopping. We also caught the antique tractor show!

Thank you for choosing Story Time Retreat for your family gathering! We're so glad you enjoyed the space, the surrounding nature, and all the local fun. Sounds like a memorable weekend—come back anytime!
House was very clean inside. Plenty of room for the 6 of us. Close to Nashville and Park entrance. 15 min max. Roads a little curvy for the wife.Seen an otter some deer. Enjoyed the Hot tube even though it was 90 outside. Had nice fire pit but was just too hot in the evening to enjoy. Overall a great stay with family.

Thank you for the great review! We're so glad Story Time Retreat was a comfortable and fun getaway for your family, and how awesome to spot wildlife too! We'd love to welcome you back during a cooler season to enjoy the fire pit as well!
Story Time Retreat was truly that. Our family spent Thanksgiving here and it was a joyful experience. The property was very clean and well appointed. Our host Marisa thought of everything. She thoughtfully provided a scrumptious pumpkin roll for us to enjoy and the coffee bar was outstanding. The kitchen was amazing too and had all we needed to cook a fabulous Thanksgiving feast! Most of all, we enjoyed the serenity and quietude this property provided. It was just what we needed. We highly recommend staying at this lovely retreat and we are already looking forward to our next stay here in the spring or summer.
