Situated on a hill surrounded by the glorious South Cumberland mountains, and hundreds of acres of rolling green fields, this captivating cottage is irresistible. It's Curry and Ives setting alone is worthy of framing.
From the late 1800s, this humble dwelling was home to multiple generations of one of the early families in Bell's Cove.

Important Note: Ladybugs are very common in our region. Certain times a year we do experience some ladybugs inside of homes. Please know that all lady bugs are removed by housekeepers during the cleaning process, but are likely to be back quite quickly in large quantities.

Fabulous Farmhouse

Rooster's Roost is a delightful place to stay, just minutes from Monteagle and the Fiery Gizzard trail. My sweetheart and I try to hike Fiery Gizzard at least once a year and this has been our favorite stay of the last few years. We definitely recommend.

Beautiful!!!

We stayed two nights on our way down south. The seclusion of the property brought us the feeling of being able to relax into our vacation immediately. Restaurants were available by a very scenic and memorable drive. Being able to stay in a historic location was a stunning experience. Large bedrooms, great mattresses, kitchen and bath. Additional cozy seating to be able to watch the games would bring this property to perfection. We will be back!

Great!!

Like going back in time home was beautifully furnished just wish we had more time. Would like to go back sometime for a week. Have to tell this story, our GPS said we were at our destination so we get out try the code does not work thought maybe lock was on a timer, we were a little early so waited tried again still nothing called owner and he said he’d be right there, in the meantime a truck pulls up and people get out and said they had booked there too got to talking and discover our place was up the road next house. We’re just there for one night going to concert at The Caverns

We loved our stay at the property. I am 6'6" so if you are tall you are going to have to duck quite a bit. Also, we emailed the property manager twice with no response to either email when we were staying at Roosters Roost. We asked about the propane for the BBQ if they had another tank and if the TV in the bedroom had Roku. Beside that my wife and i loved our stay, we took ealks on the beautiful backwood roads, we sat in the backyard and enjoyed eatching the deer, the lightning bugs, the butterflies, the mountains. This place is so nice and right up our alley. You will love it as well.

One Night Stay

We throughly enjoyed our stay at this sweet home! We were in town for a concert at the Caverns and although we didn’t spend much time at the home, we left wanting more! The house was perfect for 3 couples and the 1 bathroom wasn’t really an issue for us. Our only draw back, was that there was no central air conditioning, but the fans provided in the home helped circulate the cool air from the wall unit in the kitchen. The kitchen was well stocked and we really enjoyed having a wonderful fire on such a beautiful night. Overall, it was a wonderful stay- we’ll be back! Oh! and if you visit, don’t forget your fishing poles!

Great location within a relatively easy 20 min drive from The Caverns. There is a nice kitchen with all the amenities and a lovely outdoor dining area to make a nice dinner before heading to the show. Will book again if I am in the area.

Enjoyed our stay! Would go there again...!

The house is cute and 3 bedrooms met our needs. Having one bathroom is challenging and one of the bedrooms doesn't have a door and opens to the foyer. The noise from the interstate can be loud at times, but the yard is beautiful and we loved the outdoor space with the firepit. We would stay there again.

Escape to the farmhouse

My husband and I were evacuated from Helene and that was combined with a visit to our daughter at a nearby college. Our trip had its ups and downs, but our accommodations couldn’t have been better. The flexibility of the host and the well appointed home made a difficult situations much better!

Indian Summer

It was unexpectedly hot for September when we stayed in the cabin. I was surprised to find one window air conditioner in the kitchen and a mobile a/c in one of the 3 bedrooms. There were floor fans in every room. The a/c did not cool our room well. The fan was helpful.We liked the cabin and location. I

Beautiful home but very unhappy stay

The home inside and out was everything that was listed. However, upon arriving inside the house we killed 4 to 5 spiders alive crawling up the walls as well found 2 live spiders in 2 of the 3 beds. In one of the beds the, dog hair was all in the covers and the sheets did not appear to be clean. I had a 9 week old baby with us and barely slept out of fear of a spider getting on him. For an adult to be bit, is one thing, but a baby that small, is another. Part of my family would not even stay with us because when they walked in the door, there was a spider crawling in front of them. They had to go to the next town over to get a room. I have waited multiple day before posting this because i wanted to give the homeowner a chance to reach back out to me from where I emailed and text the email addresses and phone numbers given, however, i have not heard from him.

Lovely country setting

This 3 bedroom house had all we needed for our visit to The Caverns. Nice country setting with fire pit and outdoor patio seating and front porch seating. Great value and great location. The living area was very small, but we didn’t spend time inside so not an issue. The space heater in one bedroom was a little noisy. Overall we would come back due to the close location to The Caverns.

Shabby chic

We were in the area for a concert at The Cavern’s. It’s a bit of a drive considering the backroads, but not bad. We wish it had been a summer stay where we could have enjoyed the outside of the property more. Cute back patio with grill and fire pit, pond and chickens on the property. There were space heaters in each room so we stayed very comfy. The kitchen has everything you would need. Fun little getaway in a rustic cabin/home on a nice patch of land in the countryside.

Charming home

This beautiful historic property was just what we needed for our brief stay in the area. We arrived late, unfortunately, but with enough time to cook a meal in the kitchen and explore a bit before turning in. Everything we needed was at hand. All of the beds were so comfortable. We rose early and visited the chickens, made coffee and poked around a bit, before we had to take off again. It was just right for our family of 2 adults + 2 teenagers, visiting the university. I wish we’d had longer to stay, but enjoyed our short visit!
