Center Hill Chalet w/ lake view!

L PatrickRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We came into town for a wedding, and the place was perfect for our stay. Kellie was quick to respond and helpful with any questions we had. Although we were away during the sunset and evening, the morning was incredibly peaceful. After returning from the wedding, we relaxed in the cozy living room—watching TV and catching up with family before heading to bed. The beds downstairs were very comfortable, and waking up to birdsong and the peaceful outdoor setting made for a lovely start to the day. It was a memorable stay, and we hope to return someday!😁

SarahRating, 5 stars6 days ago

We were absolutely blown away by the cleanliness of the home, all of the extra supplies included and the jacuzzi, swim spa and kayaks! We didn’t have to leave the home at all (although did venture to Cookeville several times). Most of the memories were made without having to leave the property. The boat launch right across the street made kayaking very easy. A great place for families as something for everyone to do. The correspondence with the hosts was quick and they were very helpful and super friendly. We 100% recommend this place!

A cozy sleeping area features a spacious bed adorned with multiple decorative pillows. A light rug is positioned beneath the bed, while a small chair and dresser are placed nearby. Soft natural light enters through two windows, which are dressed with elegant curtains.

Creekside French Quarters @ Window Cliff Valley

CassandraRating, 5 stars3 months ago

We came to TN for a little vacation. We did not intend to stay long. Once we got to this location, we fell in love and within a week we were planning on moving here! Brian and Susan are some of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet! The house was only just a fraction of everything that was amazing! Invite your friends…family and you won’t be disappointed!! The location sits on a 25ft waterfall just a 10min hike through the woods and creek behind the house. It’s secluded and has a watering hole to swim in! It’s very nice private and the scenery is beautiful. It’s a 15min drive to Walmart, Publix and a shopping mall. Just an hour drive from broadway and minimal traffic. You won’t regret it!!

The exterior of the home is nestled among lush greenery, featuring multiple levels of deck space. A spacious entrance leads to a large screened-in porch, while stairs provide access to different levels of the property, all enhancing the connection to nature.
