You light the fire!!!! Two miles of private trails for biking or walking . Kiddos fishing pond stocked with bass bream and catfish. Private boat dock for kids to set on in the water to fish with cane poles rigged and worm ready . Blue hole In Yellowcreek crystal clear water abt eight to ten ft deep . For private use .

Beautiful Cabin Get-away

Our stay at this Vrbo cabin was nothing short of spectacular! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The check-in process was seamless and hassle-free, making it easy to settle in and start enjoying our vacation right away. The cabin itself was beyond amazing—cozy, impeccably clean, and beautifully designed. We were thrilled to wake up each morning to the sight of deer and turkey roaming nearby, which added a magical touch to our stay. The beds were incredibly comfortable, providing the perfect night’s sleep after days filled with adventure. The property was absolutely gorgeous, with stunning views and a serene atmosphere that made it hard to leave. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, making this cabin a true gem. We can’t wait to return and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, nature-filled getaway. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!!Thank You again!!!

Another great stay

We’ve traveled the world and rented in many places, but this is the first property we’ve gone back to for another stay. We love the location, the acres of trails, the fishing hole (especially great for kids), and the serenity. Jerry and Janice are wonderful hosts and extremely knowledgeable about the area. A must stay!

Perfect place to relax!

This property is perfect! Plenty of room both inside and outside. A quiet setting away from it all but close enough to town to get anything you might need. The cabin is beautiful! And the fire pit outside is magnificent! I would spend every night here if I could! Thanks for your hospitality, Jerry!

Yellow Creek Cabin Retreat...Spectacular!!!

This remarkably restored, one-of-a-kind cabin is located on one of the most breathtaking plots of land in Tennessee!!! The Crawfords have succeeded in creating a private Smokey Mountain masterpiece right here in the rolling hills of Middle TN! They are fantastic hosts who can recount in detail the history surrounding this cabin and the adjoining lands. If you like to retreat in style with all the modern day trimmings and enjoy nature in all its glory, you MUST visit this place!

Yellowcreek really enjoyed having Nanas camp at our retreat. The kids were a blast never seen so much energy. And their first canoe trip was a success with no flips . And a four mile float. And the boys caught their first smallmouth and redeyes.. they left the place spotless and we appreciate the care they took with the house. Johns woodworking skills andMadtha growing up in a loghouse made them. Appreciate it more. Please come back and stay longer. Hope the kids have a great rest of the summer.

Perfectly Peaceful Place

My family and I had the most wonderful time at this beautiful retreat. It's perfectly located with beautiful surroundings and a nice creek that you can hear while sitting out on the spacious porch at night. The grandchildren enjoyed playing in the creek. There is a wonderful firepit where you can gather around a fire at night with friends or family. The host is the best and very friendly and provided everything that we needed. We can't wait to get together again at this lovely and perfectly located log house.

Unique to the Max

What a unique home and property! Where you can you stay in bonafide cabin replete with animal mounts (it's like a museum) and vintage decor but with all the modern conveniences to make for a comfortable stay. To top it off, you would be hard pressed to find a more hospitable and helpful host/owner than Jerry and his wife! Not only are they top of the shelf hosts, it's worth your time to draw out of them their life experiences. Talk about unique!

About the host

Hosted by Jerry crawford

Host profile image
We are retired bankers from Nashville.

Why they chose this property

Old house was on the property when I bought it, so I moved it to save and restore. It is one of a kind with so much detail in finishing the home. Decorating it was a blast according to my wife. Watch out for the brown bear standing in the dogtrot.

What makes this property unique

Private 185 acres to explore. Joins a private 4000 acre game preserve . Visit old house site where the cisterns still intact with cold spring water running 24 hrs a day. Set in rocker on front porch with a glass of wine and chill out while sun goes down and watch kids play in the creek. Very serene.
