We absolutely loved our stay at this river cottage for 5 days. The beautiful new decking with lighted walkway to the river, clean hot tub, and all of the necessities made this a great place to be. The view from the covered double deck was incredible - and they had several different methods to make coffee (thankful for the French press!) so I sat and enjoyed my mornings out there each day even when it rained a bit.The only thing we were bummed about was the dock entrance to the river had broken and we weren’t aware of it (my husband and kids wanted to fish), but with some climbing/maneuvering they were able to get to it, and the homeowners sent a really great crew to try and fix it. (Thank you for attempting to get it fixed while we stayed!)I would 100% recommend a stay at this beautiful cottage. We had great communication with the host and appreciated being able to check in a bit early. And most importantly - thank you for supplying TP, paper towel, hot tub towels, shock for the hot tub, etc — I’ve stayed in so many VRBOs that don’t provide anything like this and it made for such a smooth stay!! Also grateful for the info book on the coffee table - we ate at Foglight and loved it!

Two friends and I came to stay for a 20 mile hike. The property could not have been more perfect. Clean, easy check in. The hot tub was great. Peace, quiet and beautiful surroundings. Comfortable beds. When I am in the area again, I will definitely stay here again.

This riverfront cottage was perfect for our four-day middle TN getaway! It was a short drive from our home in Knoxville, and was exactly what our family of four needed. The description on Vrbo matched the cottage precisely! Everything we could need was there, and we enjoyed playing one of the murder-mystery games that we found. The private dock was perfect for taking a float on the river. We were glad to see that after a review in June 2025 said there was no ladder on the dock, that the owner put one in. This was extremely helpful!! The hot tub worked well, and the cottage was super cozy. I especially enjoyed the top back porch every morning and evening: a perfect place to enjoy coffee and a book ... and later, wine and a book! Be sure to check out "Canoe the Caney," about 45 minutes NW in Silver Point for a day's long canoe/kayak trip. So fun! Also: Rock Island State Park has personal watercraft launch areas plus lookout points to see Great Falls and Twin Falls. We highly recommend stopping by Rock Island Trolley Stop for a tasty meal or to grab some ice cream. It's a one-of-a-kind set-up!!

We had a fantastic weekend celebrating my friends birthday. The location was wonderful; off the beaten path yet close to modern conveniences. Within 30 minutes to state parks for breathtaking hikes to the most beautiful waterfalls. A short drive to Sparta for plenty of restaurant options and 2 craft breweries. We really enjoyed Happy Trails. Their beer and food were amazing. The cabin was clean and spacious. Kitchen was well equipped, beds comfortable and the living area easily accommodated 6 adults for movies and games. The hot tub was a treat after a long day of hiking Burgess and Fall Creek Falls. 3 things that future renters should know: 1) the camper hookup is not 30 or 50 amp service. It’s a standard 120V outlet which will not accommodate much more than a microwave. It will not run AC or interior lights of a camper. 2) the driveway is narrow and a little steep. We have a 3500 Silverado and being able to see getting up and down the driveway was a bit of a challenge. 3) the path leading to the river is steep and slippery. If you want easy access to the river, this is not the place. There is also no ladder from the water to the dock, so swimming is probably not an option unless you want to clamber up a muddy bank or are able to hoist your body weight onto the dock…which is a solid 2 feet. Again, just a fore-warning to future renters. We did not bring our camper or a boat. Nor did we think about swimming in the river. It was the perfect little hideaway for the 6 of us to celebrate our friends birthday. Will definitely keep this one at the top of our list for future adventures.
