A tidy tiny!

The home was clean and well appointed. We appreciated the fire pit set up with plenty of chairs that were easily moveable. Plenty of space in the loft. The shower was nice and hot.

Weekend stay

Tiny house in Monteagle/Tracy City area with woods surrounding. Quiet and peaceful stay. Liked that it was in a cul de sac in a tiny home neighborhood. Would stay in another retreat tiny home.

Cute little getaway

This tiny home nestled in the woods was a great getaway. We loved having the hot tub there and the kitchen had all we needed for simple meals while we were there. Each morning we did see deer and other animals out and about from our bedroom window and that was so peaceful. Don’t forget your charcoal at this property. The furniture was very comfortable and the bedding was perfect for the time of year we were there. In the summer the bedding may be a little warm but still very cozy!

This is a nice new property and we enjoyed our stay. The only reason for not giving it 5 stars was because of hiccups due to the property being so new. Otherwise, we would highly recommend.

Great Thanksgiving weekend

I can’t say enough about the property manager. We were confused about the 2 Deer Lick Falls neighborhoods. She stayed on the phone with us until we found our place. At 7:30 the next morning, she showed up with k-cups because we arrived expecting regular coffee equipment. We did not catch her name, but she was the best!

Charming Tiny House

We loved our tiny cabin. It was really adorable inside. It was cozy and warm. We had everything we needed. The weekend was stormy but we stayed dry. The second day we went to a concert at the caverns and it was the perfect distance to drive there conveniently. The day we left, we went to the Deer Lick Falls hike located on the other property across the way. It was a quick and steep hike. Totally worth it! The only thing we might have wanted were a few more dish towels for handwashing dishes and hangers for the closet. We would definitely come back.
