About this property

Tranquil Cottage Located at The Head Of The Sequatchie Valley.

*RATES: $125.00 per night for 2 adults. $25.00 extra per night for each additional guest up to a total of 4 people. Additional rates for cleaning, VRBO fees, and taxes.

*FISHING TOURNAMENTS: If you are coming for a fishing tournament, GPS puts us at 9 miles from Dayton boat dock at Lake Chickamauga . This is incorrect information! We have tried to get Google maps to change this, but they haven't. We are closer to 50 miles from the lake.

Come relax in our cozy 2 bedroom, fully furnished guest cottage located on 10 acres at the Head of the Sequatchie Valley, halfway between Crossville and Pikeville. We are tucked in by the beautiful hills of God's Country. There is something very special in this space between the mountains. Walk down to the Sequatchie river which runs through our homestead and enjoy what nature provides each season. In hot weather, dip your feet in the cool water or sit on the cedar swing and read a book while listening to the relaxing sound of the river. If you are looking to escape city life, have a personal retreat, or a quiet getaway, we offer a peaceful respite for rest and relaxation. We are next to the NOW-OPENED Justin P. Wilson Cumberland Trail State Park (open daily from 9-5) Also in Cumberland County, the golf capital of Tennessee, are ten championship golf courses. We are 20 minutes South of Crossville, TN, on the Cumberland Plateau which is home to the Cumberland County Playhouse, the historic homestead area, and Cumberland Mountain State Park. We are also one hour from the beautiful Fall Creek Falls State park. Other nearby waterfalls include Burgess Falls, Cummins Falls, Ozone Falls, and Rock Island State Park, among others. We are conveniently located 1 1/2 hours from Chattanooga and Knoxville. We are also 2 hours from the Great Smoky Mountains and Nashville. Our guest cottage is remote, quiet, and peaceful. Depending on the season and weather, we can offer a campfire down by the river, horse shoe pit, barbecue grill, and supervised use of the wood stove. This property located in the valley does not have cell service, although we do have free WI-FI, and if your phone has WI-FI calling, you will be able to make calls. There is no cable TV, but we do have Netflix, Pandora, and plenty of DVD's/Blue Ray movies for your enjoyment.

Perfection

The property is exactly what I was looking for...away from noise and people and to be in nature. You can wake up and go for a short or long hike right from the property or explore many different options within a short drive. Larry and Beverly are super sweet and have created a slice of heaven to relax and unwind.

Hidden in the Sequatchie Valley

Beautiful Property tucked into the Sequatchie Valley the road is a little scary getting there but worth the drive. Beverly and Larry are very welcoming they even had a cute little personalized sign with our names on it welcoming us to their cabin. Beverly made a homemade bread and some soap that she makes for the guests to enjoy. If you want a place to relax and just enjoy nature, read a book, and just escape the rush of everyday living, this is the perfect place to stay. The home is very clean and has everything you need to enjoy your stay.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

We loved everything about this lovely cottage and enjoyed meeting Larry and Beverly. It had everything we needed. We enjoyed privacy and also their responsive attentiveness when we reached out. With the covered deck, this is a great place to stay no matter the weather. The cottage, the view, and the whole property are all wonderful. Thank you for the hospitality!

Perfectly located

My Dad and I stayed here for several days. The location was perfect - my Dad enjoyed the mountain view from the comfort of the recliner. We visited several places nearby and this cozy retreat was wonderful to come home to each day. Very clean and the owners were very hospitable and on hand should you need anything. Hope to stay again in the near future! Would definitely recommend.

Great hidden gem

What an absolute wonderful cabin. I wish we were there for more than the weekend. Everything was perfect. Very clean, the beds are very comfortable. The hosts really made us feel welcome. Larry stayed up till we got there, stuck in heavy traffic so we arrived hours later than we had hoped. Definitely a hidden gem and we will be staying there again.

Perfect weekend get-away!

Tranquility Cottage was the perfect place to spend a quiet weekend. The house is comfortable and very well-appointed, with some lovely little touches like artisan soap and interesting family pictures. The only sounds we heard were the Sequatchie River, the rain on the roof, and bird songs, including migrating Sand Hill Cranes. Larry and Beverly are wonderful hosts, with a deep knowledge of the history and geography of the area, and great recommendations for hiking. I look forward to staying there again!

Peaceful, Safe Scenic Getaway

This cottage is a beautiful hideaway for anyone wanting some R & R. The owners make you feel at home and Beverly surprised us with homemade pumpkin muffins. We had all the comforts of home and more. The cottage is so spacious and comfortable for a family. We felt safe and wished we could stay longer. We will definitely come back here in the warmer months to enjoy the outdoors and relax on the inviting front porch. Thank you Beverly and Steve for opening your lovely cottage to us.

God's Country

We struggle to find adequate words to describe our stay. It's clear that this is "not just a rental," this is a home that oozes with welcome and peace. It's so very quiet. The hosts are respectful of privacy, yet completely available. Clearly, it's important to them that you enjoy and appreciate your time on their property and that you are comfortable. We look forward to finding an excuse to get back!

Tennessee at its greatest. Home away from home.

The pictures don’t do it justice!!! Mountain View’s, the deer, the chickens were fabulous!! The friendliness of Bev and Larry and just the beautiful home they offer was an experience I will make sure to do again. If your looking for a quiet way to relax and see one of the experiences Tennessee has to offer in the valley this is a place to be. Thank you Larry and Beverly for making it more than I thought it could be for future home for myself in Tennessee.

The perfect getaway

We had the best time staying at the cottage. It was even better than we expected. Larry and Beverly were wonderful host. We were welcome by two smiling faces and delicious banana nut bread! We fished 3 days at Watts Bar Lake and the drive to and from was very peaceful. Arriving back to the cabin each evening was the perfect end to our day. On our last evening we even had the pleasure to watch the space station travel across the night sky next to fire that Larry started for us. We hope to make another trip to stay in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Larry and Beverly Maxwell

Host profile image
The Maxwell family has lived on this property for the last 30+ years, taking it from a wild, thorn-covered property to a park-like setting. Its original owner, Larry's father, Rupert Maxwell, was a WWII P47 Thunderbolt fighter pilot and was shot down over Germany and held in a prisoner of war camp for one year. Rupert passed down many lessons including his love for the Lord, this property, and the hard work it takes to maintain it. Larry and Rupert built both houses, including the barn. Larry and Beverly are avid outdoorsman. We love to hunt and fish, hike, garden, cook, make soap, read, sit down by the river and swing on the porch. God has blessed us with this homestead and we would love to share this special place with you. Coming from a military family, Larry has lived in several places, while Beverly grew up and lived in Michigan. Together, we share 4 grown children and 7 grandchildren. We are laid back folks who love our quiet piece of the world.

Why they chose this property

This property, our little piece of the world, is secluded enough to be a peaceful haven and yet not too far from amenities. We love it!

What makes this property unique

What people say when they come here is that it is so beautiful and peaceful and that we are so blessed to be able to live here. The Valley is a historic place where Cherokee Indians once made their home until they were moved out on the Trail of Tears. The first Sheriff of Cumberland County is buried on the State property next door. The Sequatchie river originates out of the hillside nearby and runs through our property and makes a great place to cool ones feet on a hot day! Wildlife pays us frequent visits that include deer, turkeys, fox, coyote, bobcat, and many species of birds, etc. Beauty abounds in this space between the mountains and if you sit long enough or wander with a keen eye, you, too, can take in its wonders and escape the real world for a while.
