About this property

Peaceful Hills Retreat’s cottage is clean and cozy with a creek on 97 acres

Looking for the perfect getaway, you will find some peace and quiet here. Only 14.6 miles from I-40, this clean, cheerful cottage is located in a beautiful place surrounded by nature. The cottage is fully stocked with all that you would need for a stay, plus high speed internet with speeds of 250-300 Mbps. Surrounded by nature you could see deer, which often frequent the front yard to graze, are among the turkey, groundhogs, armadillos, bunnies and other wildlife you can find here. It's great for hiking, exploring the creek, plus access to 97 acres of Peaceful Hills Retreat, which is also a wedding venue and can host large events as well.

Peaceful Hills Retreat Cottage has an open kitchen and dining room complete with a fridge, stove, oven, microwave, toaster, Vitamix blender, and a Keurig stocked with coffee and tea. The kitchen has pots and pans, plates and bowls, coffee mugs and glasses, silverware and utensils. It has a living room with a piano & books, a family room with popcorn, games and a flat screen TV, and three bedrooms fully stocked with two pillows per person, plus sheets, comforters, and extra blankets.

The Cottage has two bathrooms, which are both stocked with towels, washcloths, soap, shampoo, and conditioner. There is also a hair dryer, iron and ironing board, plus a laundry room with full access to a washer and dryer for your convenience. If staying longer than two days, please bring your own detergent.

The Cottage has three covered porches where you can step outdoors to enjoy the beauty and sounds of nature, which is peaceful, and serene. The side porch has a view of the flowing creek which is down the hill. The creek has a clear swimming hole, rope swing, hammock and a fire pit for your enjoyment by the creek.

The Cottage is located on beautiful rolling hills & woods for you to explore. You will have access to a large yard with 3 swings, a slide, a play fort, a creek, a trail for hiking and maybe even spotting a turkey or some deer at dusk or dawn. There is a foosball table and a hammock is also available to help you unwind. If you are looking for a quiet place to relax, look no further because Peaceful Hills Cottage is the perfect place for you. A bonus for you will be the view of the night sky and all of the twinkling stars, which you can clearly see on a cloud-free night, because there are no street lights at all. Shooting stars and the Milky Way are often spotted here.

Using the keypad with your unique key code, which is unique to each guest, you may access the home anytime during your stay. Late night arrivals are perfectly fine since it is self checkin, however, someone will be available should you need anything during your stay. The porch light will be left on for your convenience if it is after dark. You'll find a lovely spring fed stream and a private lane that brings you to Peaceful Hills Lodge (Listing #4731559), Peaceful Hills Cabin (Listing #4691661), & Cottage (current listing) where you can definitely enjoy some peace and quiet.

Thank you,
Jennifer

Peaceful and serene

Our stay was very peaceful and enjoyable. We got to meet the owners who live on the property and a very Godly- loving family that made us feel a part of their homeplace and their kindness was beyond expectations. I never felt more welcomed and at home at the same time. Very referent of your privacy but at the same time were accessible if needed. Lovely place to visit and get a look at the incredible beauty of Tennessee and one of God's masterpieces. You will love this place and the ones that make it a home away from home.

Nice place, but gets a bit crowded

Clean place, great creek. There wasn't bath soap in the shower-only bathroom, which was a little dissappointing. Wish we could have had access to the waterfall, but someone was camping there. I asked the host some questions but never got a response. We stayed Thursday-Saturday. It was great Thursday, but there were a few tent campers Friday and Saturday, which made it a little difficult to enjoy the sounds of nature.

We booked the cottage at peaceful hills this time vs the cabin due to availability it. It was great. Beautiful property with plenty of sight seeing to keep you busy. Or you can just hang out on the property and enjoy the peace and quiet like we did. Walking the creek is always a good time.

Best home away from home

This is a lovely place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. My husband and stayed here 2 summer nights and it was so relaxing. Jennifer was very accommodating. She brought us fresh eggs and told us where all of good swimming holes were. Good price. Will definitely be returning in the fall!

Worth the Drive

This little place is worth the 20 min. drive you'll make to grocery stores. A gathering of three homes around a green space. A home so comfortable it feels like you're visiting your grandma or some other dear relative. Super-easy access, friendly and helpful host. We had no trouble with wifi; couldn't make phone calls but could still text. A great fire pit. The only possible downside for some could be that the home is located in the bend of the gravel road, but the road is only for the three houses and there was so little traffic it didn't bother us.

Away from life’s normal pace

This property was breathtaking. I was not expecting the remoteness of the location so make sure your gps is on well before arrival! The last several miles are on gravel roads and then the last mile is a dirt road. The house is outdated but very clean with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I was especially impressed with the stocking of the kitchen. We stayed in March before it was warm enough for creek play but I imagine it would be very busy in the summer months. The camping on top of the hill is very tempting for a return summer trip and I’d love to come to this property again in the winter.

DEEP IN THE HIDDEN WOODS

The place is great and so are the owners. Jennifer and Linda are the greatest people ever. The place was super clean and equiped with everything you could ever want. The absolute ONLY and I mean ONLY problem is , this place is SUPER hidden and so far away from anything or any one. The directions to get here need to be more milage specific and more land marks. To say turn at a store that that is no longer a store and go about 7 minutes to a place is a bit silly. Why not say 2.2 miles turn left on a certain road and name that road. We drove for over 2 hours to get less than a half of a mile, To say cross over a bridge, but not telling what bridge is awful. We crossed over the scariest wooden homemade bridge, drove in a creek and was so lost out in the boonies. We had all intentions of going into Nashville but after this we decided to stay put. It was a great quite trip but I must say we will never ever go back ONLY because it really is so far away from even a grocery store. 45-50 minutes to the nearest Walmart and although there are small stores closer, the prices will be like 7-11 prices. NOT for us. It you want peace and quite and plan to stay put, want ot be deep in the woods, than this is your place. Plan to be greeted by the greatest folks around. WE love Jennifer and Linda. Wish they were closer to Nashville or something that would not have been so far, far away in the hundred acre woods.

Exceeded Expectations, Absolutely Excellent! 5+ Stars, A Hidden Gem.

Let me begin with it is extremely hard for me to describe how awesome this rental was. It’s almost like finding a hidden treasure. The property itself is gorgeous, so just pulling up to the property it’s almost like being in a movie set. The landscape is perfectly manicured, the cottage is immaculate and very maintained. They have added so many personalized touches that you can feel the effort the moment you arrive. The amount of all the small details they have done leave you with that feeling like woah they must know me and every time I turned around again the little things would instantly think I love these people, they are so awesome because they make it effortless for you. In complete honesty I feel like they are modest when describing their amenities. The Cottage is very spacious, meticulously clean, a ton of added extras. They offer everything that you would have at home and more. We were greeted upon arrival, asked if we had any questions also offered wood if we wanted to have a fire, offered fresh eggs, vegetables etc. It was like having your own fresh farmers market it was a wow moment because I don’t experience that type of hospitality normally. They send you a text with their direct number in case you have any issues or need anything, I thought that was super cool but everything was great so I never had a need to send a text. All Linens, toiletries, dish soap, laundry soap, some cooking spices etc all available saving you money and if you forgot to pack something there is no emergency because chances are they thought about it and it’s there. I could write a thousand more praises on how super cool this place was to stay and if your on the fence I’m suggesting from experience 5+ stars, it’s definitely a must. I would definitely stay here again and have saved this place.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Lyn, Peaceful Hills

Host profile image
My family and I enjoy hosting vacations, events & weddings at Peaceful Hills Retreat. We have three lovely homes available, the Cabin, Cottage and Lodge. All three homes are unique and each have something very special about them. We also have a forest campground for primitive camping with thirty campsites. This is the place to come if you want a peaceful place to relax and unwind! We would be honored to host your stay.

Why they chose this property

This property is in the beautiful rolling hills of Tennessee, far away from the hustle and bustle of a busy city filled with heavy traffic, exhaust fumes, and loud sirens. Here you will smell the pure, fresh air, which brings more oxygen to your brain, hear the songbirds singing their songs, and feel the beautiful breeze blowing against your face. The night stars are the brightest here, and the fireflies make the place look like you're inside a sparkling palace with gems glistening in the moonlight. The bonfire gives a scent that makes everyone feel young again and the wide-open, huge yard gives the sense that life is good all the time! Being in the center of God's creation is one of the best places to be. It is clean, untarnished, and nature is truly at it's best. The wild flowers are gorgeous here and the white oak trees tower above your heads dropping little acorns to feed the deer and squirrels. The trail through the campground is a dirt road where your feet can touch the earth and get re-connected to country living. The campground road will lead you to a high ridge where you can see the beautiful sunsets overlooking the valleys below. Picnic tables and fire rings are spread throughout the place, which is very well maintained and kept looking very clean. After experiencing the heights of the campground, you can take a stroll down to the creek. The water is crystal clear from a spring and filled with bio-diverse creatures, like crawdads and snails. It's refreshingly cool and perfect for summer months. It's not too deep so you can creek walk and find neat shells and rocks. Fish will nibble at your toes if you stand still long enough. The bridge provides a great place for a shaded picnic lunch and this is all just a short walk from the cottage. There is also a small waterfall campsite which has a table and some chairs to just sit and hear the gentle waters. It is so amazingly peaceful! It's time to experience Peaceful Hills Retreat, so book your reservation soon!

What makes this property unique

The Cottage is one of three homes at Peaceful Hills available to you. The three homes are space far apart, which gives you the feeling of complete privacy. The Cottage is the closest home to the creek, with a view of the creek from the back porch. Sitting out on the porch, you may be able to hear the gentle waters on a still, quiet day. It is definitely a clean environment which refreshes the soul.
