About this property

Peaceful Home On A Hill In Cookeville, Tennessee

Quiet street located on a dead end street so no through traffic. There are so many birds to watch including the beautiful red Cardinals and their mates. All new furniture with all new mattresses. Since I love Nashville and music I have done a music theme in the home I am from Bakersfield, CA so you will see Merle Haggard and Buck Owens' album covers on the wall. Also from Robert's Western World in Nashville Brazil Billy. Vince Gill and Paul Franklin with their Bakersfield Sound covers. My property is located 73.8 miles from Nashville Airport 1hr 13 minutes. The home is conveniently located right off I 40 but not close enough to hear any traffic noise. So after you enjoy Broadway and all Nashville has to offer plan on coming to Cookeville and enjoy the Cummins Falls State Park, 3 minute drive to City Lake which has 2 waterfalls and is a great hiking area, Dogwood Park, Hidden Hollow Park, Cookeville Depot Museum, Tennessee Legend Distillery and Red Silo Brewing Company, Hix Farm Brewery, Cookeville History Museum. Home is located 1.8 miles from Lanes Bend a popular wedding venue. Our home is located 2.21 hours to Dollywood, 1.37 hours to Knoxville when traffic is good. Many great restaurants my favorite Cracker Barrel and Cheddar's and many more. Instead of having the travelers pay $59.00 for a non refundable damage insurance policy I have a $700.00 refundable damage deposit. I just added this note on 1/10 2025 all my guests through VRBO have been great and I have in 3 years of hosting never had to deduct damage from the refundable deposit. If you choose to pay the non refundable insurance cover of $59.00 I can remove the refundable damage deposit. On my other houses that I have hosted for 15 years the guests who elect to pay the refundable damage deposit 99.9 % of the time those guests get the whole amount refunded within a couple of days when the cleaner goes in and tells me all is in good shape. If you damage anything or leave stains on bedding that won't wash out the cost of replacement will be deducted. If you are traveling with pets there is $100.00 plus tax per pet. Please answer the question that you will have a pet when making the reservation so VRBO collects the fee at the time of booking. If traveling with additional pets message me that you are. The additional fee will be requested. There is a completely fence huge backyard also a dog kennel.
There is a Ring Door Bell Camera located by the front exterior door. I captures motion from cars diving up the drive way and activity on the front lawn and at the front door if someone rings the bell the Ring Chime sounds are dogs barking and the Chime is plugged in by the bar. There are no internal cameras in the house.

Thank you Jessica and Billy! If future hosts are having this family reserve your home read my comments. These guests left my home so clean that when I had my next guest go in today at 11am when check in was to be 3pm they showed up before the cleaner did at 11am. They told the cleaner that the house was very clean and she did not have to clean! I manage 3 vacation rentals and 2 has been 10 years and never has this happen!

Pet friendly family trip

Our family had a great trip! The house was spotless and the check-in was easy. The house was well appointed with coffee, keurig, all the things needed for cooking, etc. Corn hole was fun, the back patio is huge, the fenced yard is perfect and it is an overall relaxing vibe. The music theme was neat and the kids liked having their own spaces. Thanks again for a great stay!

About the host

Hosted by Carol Knapp

Host profile image

I am retired from banking after 35 years.I manage two 5 star beach houses in California and my other passions are buying Manuel Cuevas rhinestones and embordered jackets of which I have 10. Of course I bought them discounted. I love visiting Manuel's shop in Nashville. My biggest joy is family and spending precious time with my only grandchild. I also thrive to give my guests a 5 star stay.

Why they chose this property

This property is a relaxing place to stay while traveling through Tennessee. Only 4 miles from town center. A little over an hour's drive to Nashville. About 90 minutes drive to Knoxville. The more I am back there the more I love Cookeville and my home.

What makes this property unique

New comfortable beds and quiet location. Close to I - 40 without traffic noise. Close to downtown but not much traffic since my home is located on a dead end street. Beautiful views and loads of birds and squirrels to watch. If you are coming for a wedding/event at Lane's Bend my home is just 1.8 miles away.
