A great get away for our group after a show at Cumberland Caverns

This house was amazing! We all had plenty of room for all of us and personal privacy for each of the 4 couples. And it was impressive to explore the charm and history of this old home.

Wonderful hidden gem

We loved our stay at the manor. We are sad it was for only one night. Get a group of friends for a game night weekend and enjoy the comfort and ambience if this lovely historic home.

This place is spacious and there is plenty of room for your family. Any issues were promptly taken care of. Just for information for any travelers, the showers are really small so if you are a large person be aware of that. Also my family has come to believe that the place is haunted in at least one of the bedrooms (the front upper one). Nothing malignant or evil, just kept turning on and off the lights; the overhead one and a lamp in the room (not continually though) and opening a cabinet in the hall that was closed and latched properly. My brother who is a construction worker and does electrical said nothing was wrong with the lights or bulbs and could not find a physical reason for the lights doing their own thing. Personally, I did not experience anything (I sleep with ear plugs and a weighted sleep mask) and was down in the lower front bedroom directly under the said haunted room. They did some research and found it on creepy pasta after experiencing the incidents and were certain of the haunting. Me, I was skeptical so do with that information what you want. I am told some people like that sort of thing. Me it made no difference. The beds were the best feature and all of us praised them. Excellent sleeping on them. The town is sleepy and slow and there is a limited supply of choices in the way of groceries. We grilled out one night and the grill was top of the line. The townsfolk were also welcoming and pleasant.

Enjoying the Manor in Altamont

The word "charming" is often overused, but it does apply to The Manor in Altamont. Big, spacious, clean, airy, with efficient HVAC to keep it cool during the hot and humid days of early July. There's a wonderful veranda on the north side with powerful fans that became our favorite hang-out spot. A couple things to be aware of. There are no closets in most of the bedrooms; just a rack where you can hang some clothes. There's a lot of noise from trucks and motorcycles passing by all the time. We loved the location, but it is a half-hour drive from major markets, restaurants, and other amenities. Altamont is really a tiny town. They did not distract from our enjoyment; they were just things we learned to adjust to.

What a Wonderful Place!

This is by far the cleanest and most beautiful VRBO we have stayed in! The interior was immaculate with beautiful furnishings and extremely roomy (6,000 square feet?)! We stayed in four of the six bedrooms and the three bathrooms worked perfectly for the 7 of us (3 couples and a single)! If I could have given them 1 mil stars they would have received it from us! Everything was perfect from the interior areas; kitchen with everything we needed, to dining areas (we only used one of the two dining rooms), the three bathrooms and the extra roomy bedrooms! The cleanliness was through the roof! The cleaning crew should share their abilities with other VRBO property owners because they hold the prize for First Class cleaning! We enjoyed exploring the home as well as the exterior grounds! It was very interesting to read the history of the place. All of the information regarding Ms Fannie Moffit was especially interesting! To read her comments and how the condition of her property was left at her death was fascinating! I might add the checkout procedures were unlike any I have experienced, just ensure you take your personal items, then just leave the rest to them! Thank you! If you are anywhere within the vicinity of this property, this is the place to stay! We will definitely try to lease again if we are within 40 miles of this jewel!!! Thank you for a restful stay and sharing this unique historical and beautiful residence with travelers!

Great stay

House and location are great. Plenty of space. As advertised. Check-in was a breeze. Communication with the property manager was great. Our group ran into Joe at the restaurant next door on the first night and he introduced himself and gave a history of the house. Will definitely stay here again when visiting the area.
