A Nice, Secluded Retreat Not Far From Nashville

We loved the location putting us less than all and childan hour out of Nashville. The set up on the river was phenomenal even if we did not get full use of the facilities due to flooding at the time. I would caution people with small children that they would need constant supervision due to the river and steep faces leading to it, but I would definitely recommend and use this property again if in the area.

Great New Years Getaway

This was our 2nd time at the cabin. We spent a few days through New Year's for our son's birthday. He thoroughly enjoyed kayaking... even in the cold weather. We saw lots of wildlife. It was very relaxing. We will definitely come back.

Crazy Blessed

Our friends group enjoyed the back porch swing over looking the river, we cooked in the well stocked kitchen, played board games and made gingerbread houses at the huge dining room table. Granville is less than 30 minutes away and is a must see. Had a delicious dinner at the Timberloft in Gordonsville We will definitely be back.

Good Stay.

Cabin and location was wonderful. Quiet and so peaceful. Only draw back was getting to the river to fish. Very difficult. We really had trouble getting our footing on the rocks. We selected this cabin so we could fish and was just very hard to do that.

Family vacation

My family and I absolutely enjoyed our stay. The cabbin is very secluded and peaceful. I loved watching the deer just come eat in the field directly in front of the house. Kayaking with the family was so much fun. Perfect place to stay if you love nature and enjoy the outdoors.Waterfalls are all around within 30min to an hour drive. Definitely a gem

Secluded Serenity in Gordonsville, TN

This house and property are amazing! The house is secluded and nestled in a beautiful wooded area next to the Caney Fork River. Absolutely no neighbors. The house is beautiful with excellent conveniences as well as stunning views both from the back porch deck overlooking the river and the front porch. While there, we saw lots of different birds, rabbits, deer, turkey, and herons flying around the river. House was stocked with plenty of towels, linens, kitchenware, etc. House is located near a Dollar General and not far from a Wal Mart for any items you want to stock up on while there. Host Janae was very friendly, accessible with excellent communication. I highly recommend this property if you’re looking for a getaway. It will exceed your expectations. We will be back!

Cabin Paradise

The property was in a perfect location right on the Caney Fork River and close to the town for essentials. The house had a beautiful view of the river and access to the water. The kayaks provided were a hit! Everything we needed was provided with the house and the stay was amazing! I HIGHLY recommend this house to anyone interested.

Sun, wind and fire

The sunny June wkend- slightly windy afternoons and perfect campfire were an amazing sweet touch to the stay with a few young ladies from church group. The kayaks added a great opportunity to enjoy nature. The cabin was so clean and cozy. A wonderful reminder of the last visit I had two years ago with another group of girls. Thank you so much, once again I am already planning the next visit. Virginia T.

Secluded cabin with stunning view

This cabin is nestled in the countryside, right on the river. So beautiful! Nice amount of space, with a well-equipped kitchen. We only used the 1st floor but there was great loft space if you bring family or a group. We enjoyed lots of time swinging on the porch, listening to the birds and the river. Propane grill allowed us to enjoy burgers and chops right there. Perfect place for a quiet getaway, with sightseeing and amenities nearby. Loved it!!

Tranquil

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this peaceful cabin. We were fortunate to watch the last few days of four baby robins in their nest before the fledglings flew the nest and learned to forage for themselves. My favorite spot was the hammock. The weather was perfect.
