Wonderful Stay!

We loved our stay here! It was close to many local attractions, and the hosts were kind and helpful. The place was pet friendly, and smelt like the rustic log cabin that it was without any lingering pet smells. Our dog felt at home here and so did we! We loved the rich history the place had and can't wait until we can return again.

Cozy Cabin

The cabin was a wonderful place to stay. There was nothing better than waking up in the morning and sitting by the fireplace! The property was everything it said it was going to be! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay! Sally was also very prompt and helpful in responding and very accommodating for a late check in and early check out.

Dream getaway

Sally is the warmest, most welcoming hostess you could ever want! This 150-year old cabin is a real treat! The beds are fabulous and the wood burning fireplace with a great stash of nearby wood is a joy on a cool autumn visit. I recommend it wholeheartedly!

Fantastic little cabin

Sally was a wonderful host. The cabin was so cozy and adorable. Having our coffee on the porch in the morning was the perfect way to start the day. I had never been to the area before so Sally made some nice suggestions. We stopped by Davey Crockett park which was a very interesting and very pretty stroll. Would definitely recommend staying here to anyone visiting the Limestone or Jonesborough area.

The cabin is adorable. The property is so pretty. It had everything we needed. Sally and Bill were wonderful hosts. We loved meeting them. They made great recommendations for local food and activities. We fell in love with the town of Jonesboro and enjoyed some quality family time. We hope to come back.

Surprising

I was shocked by how close we were to a train. Totally unexpected. Living in a house on the highway and across from a RR track, that’s not what I was hoping to listen to on my get away in the mountains. The cabin itself, was beautiful.

Beautiful historic property with amazing fireplace!

Perfect holiday getaway. Sally was available but we had all the privacy we wanted. Lovely cabin with a great xl tub! Stairs were a little tricky and I wouldn't recommend for small children or people with mobility issues. We loved it!!
