Amazing Christmas getaway

We were able to just relax and recharge as a family over Christmas. Hiked, fires and s’mores, watching Christmas movies and enjoying the hot tub every night. Perfect cabin. Our family loved everything about it. Spent Christmas Eve using ATV in Brimstone recreation park. Wonderful memories!

GRITS is GREAT

We loved our stay at this private cabin. The Wilderness Resorts is a very nice gated community that provides privacy to all the residences. We did not see anyone else our entire stay, including on the horse trails. The horse trails are some of the best in the BSF.

Our yearly trip to GRITS...wonderful

We've stayed here so many times that I've run out of happy, positive things to say about the cabin, the owner, the barn, etc. Let me think.....it's so comfortable, so well equipped, such good communication, that we just keep returning. I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks so much, Brenda.

Perfect Hiking Getaway

Our hiking group reserved the Grits cabin for our yearly hiking trip. It was wonderful and met all of our needs beautifully. The wooded setting was so peaceful and the location was fantastic on the edge of the Big South Fork River and Recreation area that we had come down to hike. One of our days we jumped on the trails right from the cabin. The hot tub was lovely at the end of a day of hiking. Thank you for such lovely and comfortable accommodations!

Another wonderful stay at GRITS

I think this is our 4th or 5th time staying at GRITS. That should be all I need to say. The cabin is comfortable, well equipped, very clean, ...pretty much everything we like. Communication with the owner is excellent. The barn and turnout are safe and so convenient. We'll be back.

Fun in the Mountains

The house was very clean and welcoming. Everything was exactly as advertised. There were plenty of blankets to keep us warm and a hot tub to relax. We enjoyed the river a short distance away. We drove to Royal Blue for a day of off-roading and had a ball. Wonderful stay. We also saw a lot of deer and a black bear. Loved it! Would recommend visiting and I would to

About the host

Hosted by Brenda Lees

Host profile image
My husband and I (married 35 years) and our two daughters, have always enjoyed the outdoors. We dreamed of owning a cabin where we could enjoy our family and our horses. We are both native Tennesseans and put down roots in Middle TN to raise our kids. My passion is equine rescue, and I spend most of my spare time trying to make a difference and educate people on animal welfare. We currently have several equine rescues, as well as several dogs n cats!

Why they chose this property

Our familly spent the last several years going to different destinations to hit the trails. In 2010 we decided to stay in the GRITS cabin and explore the Big South area. We found ourselves going back to this area, and when the cabin went up for sale, we made the decision we had to have this piece of paradise!

What makes this property unique

GRITS (Girls Raised in the South), is such a great location to enjoy the BSF. Ride from the barn right onto the trailhead and miles of trails. We love sitting in the hot tub and building a fire when the season turns cool. Sitting on the screened in porch and listening to the bullfrogs and the crickets makes the work week a memory.
