Everything was great. Secluded. Someone else showed up while we were there and we had no idea, it was that quiet where we were. The view is lovely, the deck is cute, it's not super far to Nashville. We did birthday dinner for my husband at Hard Truth one night. Great communication from the host. Would stay again!

Nice place, the property has 4 units and we had neighbors above us and we could hear them walking around and talking. You can’t cook on site, you have to drive and eat out. I was disappointed, not the quiet and secluded place I was hoping for.

Perfect weekend getaway

If you're thinking about booking this place, just do it! Clean and comfy stay with a great location to shops and hiking trails. The downstairs units are a little dark if you arrive at night, make sure you have a light!

Had a fantastic time in Story. I guess we were expecting a cabin with cooking facilities. But, the food we had in Story was really good. Overall, we would recommend!

A great stay

This was exactly what my husband and I were looking for! A quiet stay in the middle of nowhere! I didn’t read enough details (totally my fault) so I didn’t realize there was only a mini fridge and microwave but we made it work! Very clean and well kept, and the other people that were staying were quiet and respectful. Highly recommend!

Very thoughtful host

We were so pleased with our stay here. Our dog enjoyed her time here too, she was comfortable and right at home the whole 5 day visit. We thought it was very nice that the host provided quite a few kcups, paper towels, toilet perfume and a roll of doggie waste bags that saved us from having to go to the grocery store for our first full day. That we found to be very thoughtful and generous ❤️ make sure to visit The Story Inn next door!!! We spent the whole day there as we made friends with the staff. Such great people

Nice out of the way place

We enjoyed the location and used the fire pit. Two rooms share fire pit and grill so consider this when booking. Also can hear neighbors through walls or upstairs. Since none of the neighbors upstairs or downstairs sat outside we pretty much had evening outside by ourselves

It was still nice

Started off a bit questionable, couldnt get in or get ahold of the manager. Once in, seemed nice. During our week stay, we learned the sink was clogged, the gas tanks for the grill and fire pit were empty, and that being a downstairs unit, was noicy.
