Cottage w/River Access Near Rock Island State Park

The Home:
This private home is perched on a gentle hill, offering stunning views of rolling hills and valleys, Turkey Scratch Mountain, and sometimes even the neighboring cows grazing just beyond the fence line.

Sleeping & Living Spaces:
(If bringing a pet - please review pet policy below for more details)**
The main level features two bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom. For added convenience, a washer and dryer are available for guest use, located in a dedicated space within the secondary downstairs bathroom.

Upstairs, you’ll find a spacious open loft with a separate living area, four full-size bunk beds, a patio with scenic views, and a large full bathroom with a tub.

Garage Game Room & Pet Suite:
The garage—connected to the home by a breezeway—is both dog-friendly and doubles as a game room/living space. This heated and cooled space includes a ping pong table, classic Nintendo, dart board, and a great selection of board games. XL doggie door provides access to a 20x15 fenced area, making it easy for pups to enjoy their own outdoor space. The garage is pet friendly, the inside of the home is not.

The property is conveniently located near some of Middle Tennessee’s best attractions:
