Nesthaven: A cozy boho-chic tiny home with a deck, fire pit, & nearby waterfall
Welcome to Nesthaven, a sweet-natured tiny home tastefully curated with pops of boho chic-themed décor and accented walls. It's an out-of-a-magazine experience nestled within the tranquil, wooded atmosphere of The Retreat at Deer Lick Falls.
Tucked away in a quiet gated community, this charming 400 sq. ft. tiny house offers unparalleled privacy in a serene, natural setting. Surrounded by lush forest and a short hike to a spectacular waterfall, this hidden gem feels anything but tiny—it’s a unique escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Spacious Outdoor Living
Tucked back into a wooded lot, Nesthaven offers a spacious feel that extends far beyond its cozy interior. Sip your morning coffee on the oversized covered porch while listening to the birds, or gather around the firepit for an evening of stargazing and marshmallow roasting. The outdoor spaces invite you to reconnect with nature and create lasting memories.
Cozy Comfort Indoors
Designed to sleep up to five guests, the thoughtfully crafted interior blends comfort with functionality:
* Main Bedroom: A cozy queen-size bed tucked
behind a sliding door for privacy.
* Loft Area: A playful retreat with a queen bed and
twin bed, overlooking the great room and offering
treehouse-style views.
* Great Room: A two-story space with a warm
fireplace and a wall of windows to let in natural
light and forest views.
The well-equipped kitchen includes essentials like a full size oven/range, microwave, toaster, dishwasher, and Keurig. Prepare meals in the oven or on the grill, or enjoy takeout from nearby eateries. A washer and dryer are also available in the home for convenience.
Evenings Under the Stars
The expansive deck and designated firepit area are perfect for stargazing or roasting marshmallows. Twinkling string lights add a touch of magic, lighting your way as you enjoy the peaceful evenings.
Adventure Awaits
Explore the exclusive amenities at The Retreat of Deer Lick, including:
* Hiking Trails: Three trails of varying difficulty,
including one leading to a hidden waterfall.
* Playground & Pavilions: Rocking chairs and picnic
spots for relaxation.
* Other amenities available to this community are
shared with The Retreat at Water’s Edge & The
Retreat at Sunset Bluff.
A short drive connects you to local grocery stores, quaint restaurants, a darling coffee shop, and trailheads for some of the region’s best hiking and cave exploration. Firey Gizzard offers some spectacular trails and waterfalls whether you’re seeking a shorter jaunt into nature or a full day adventure - one of our favorite spots to hike! The nearby Caverns offer a unique experience with guided cave tours and live music in an unforgettable underground venue.
An Unforgettable Stay
With its unparalleled privacy, spacious outdoor areas, and calming ambiance, Nesthaven is the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. Whether you’re here to hike, reconnect with nature, or finally finish that book you’ve been meaning to read, this special retreat promises a memorable stay.
We’re excited to share our home with you—your unforgettable getaway awaits!

About the host
Hosted by Meredith Zeller
We’re a family of four from Middle Tennessee, calling Franklin home. I’m a wife, mom to two adventurous kids, and an outdoor enthusiast who finds peace in the simplicity of nature. For us, Monteagle has always been a special place to escape the rush of everyday life and reconnect as a family. Whether we’re hiking the beautiful trails at Fiery Gizzard, grabbing a delicious bite at the Mountain Goat Market, or simply sitting around the campfire roasting marshmallows and watching the stars, Monteagle always feels like a little slice of heaven.
Hosting Nesthaven is such a joy for us. We’ve poured so much love into creating a cozy space where people can unwind and make their own special memories. There’s something so rewarding about welcoming guests to our tiny home and sharing the magic of this area. It’s not just about providing a place to stay—it’s about creating an experience, whether that’s finding peace in the quiet forest, exploring the local trails, or just enjoying a cup of coffee on the deck while the creek hums in the background.
It’s our hope that every guest feels as at home and refreshed here as we do. From one nature-loving family to another, welcome to Nesthaven—we can’t wait to host you!

Why they chose this property
We chose this property because it was love at first sight. The moment we saw it, we knew it was something truly special. Nestled at the end of a private, wooded drive, it felt like our own hidden retreat—a place where we could unplug, slow down, and fully immerse ourselves in nature. The sound of the creek flowing through the property sealed the deal for us. There’s something so calming and magical about having that natural soundtrack in the background, whether it’s a soft trickle on a quiet day or a lively stream after the rain.
The location was also a huge draw for us. Being close to Monteagle meant we’d have easy access to some of our favorite outdoor activities, like hiking at Fiery Gizzard or exploring the trails to hidden waterfalls. It’s the perfect mix of seclusion and convenience—far enough from the hustle and bustle to feel like an escape, but close enough to enjoy great food, local shops, and all the outdoor adventures we love as a family.
For us, this property wasn’t just about finding a place to stay; it was about creating a home away from home, where we could share our love of the outdoors with our kids and make lifelong memories. We knew it was a place we’d want to share with others, too—a cozy little haven where guests could feel the same sense of peace, connection, and adventure that drew us here in the first place.

What makes this property unique
What sets our property apart from others in the neighborhood is the way it perfectly combines privacy, charm, and thoughtful design to create a truly one-of-a-kind experience. Nesthaven sits at the end of a private, gated drive, offering an unparalleled sense of seclusion and tranquility. You’re surrounded by lush forest, with a peaceful creek that runs alongside the property—adding a magical touch you won’t find everywhere.
Unlike many other properties, Nesthaven feels both cozy and spacious. Our tiny home is designed to make the most of every square foot, with a two-story layout, a loft overlooking the great room, and large windows that bring in an abundance of natural light and stunning forest views. Outside, the oversized deck, firepit area, and over an acre of land give you plenty of space to unwind, play, and explore.
We’ve also paid close attention to the details to make your stay special. From the twinkling string lights above the firepit to the hammocks nestled between the trees, every element of Nesthaven is designed to invite relaxation and connection with nature. And for those who love to hike and explore, we’re just steps away from some of the most beautiful trails in the area, including a secret waterfall that’s well worth the trek.
Nesthaven isn’t just a place to stay; it’s an experience. Whether you’re here to escape into nature, gather around the campfire with loved ones, or just enjoy the peaceful sound of the creek, you’ll find a sense of magic and retreat that’s uniquely ours.
