This was an amazing trip and place to stay! Steve and Debbie were very friendly, communicated effectively and quickly and helpful! The place was cute and cozy! Me and another friend stayed and it was PLENTY of space. The view of the sunset on the lake is a view to see! We drove about 30-45 mins to Nashville. There are things around town even if you just wanted to stay in town! We will definitely be back!

They location, the stay and the host were all top-tier. For a three-night, four-day stay, I am not sure we could have picked a greater little spot. Reminded us of the bakehouses we used to visit growing up.

This was the perfect little rustic cozy cabin! It was equipped with everything we needed from towels, to games, to firewood to light the fireplace, to tv. We saw wild deer near the property and sitting on the lake was magical. We met the owner Steve upon check in and was super friendly and hospitable. This was a great stay!!!

Great Stay!

We spent a week in the cabin and had a great time. Fishing was great, caught lots of cat fish and bass. One of the most well stocked cabins I have stayed in the and the owners Steve and Debbie are great. Loaned us some fishing poles when ours broke and gave us great tips when headed to Nashville. Cabin was very clean and would love to go back again. Close to town and some great restaurants.
