If you are looking for a beautiful, secluded mountain get away yet only minutes from town and the parkway, look no further. We will return again and again to this idyllic mountain cabin.

I was so pleased with the cabin by the river! The doe and fawn greeted us daily, because after all, it is their property. Thanks Joann for sharing this amazing property

We loved our time at this cabin. We struggled some with the uncomfortable beds but overall it was just what we needed

We live about and hour from Sparta. This was a weekend getaway for us moms. It was so relaxing, especially the sound of the River and then the fireplace at night. Can’t wait to visit again.

Very nice. Tastefully decorated. Nicely equipped. Could use a bit more interior lighting. Recommend for small family or couple.

We were looking for a place off the beaten path to stay while traveling further south. Tucked away in the mountains is this little gem. Great for the fisherman or those really looking to get away. You won’t see people unless you want to. The house was well stocked with all we needed (other than food and drink). We did leave some firewood, though, you should bring your own. We had to scavenge/go buy some. The kids enjoyed sleeping in the loft area. The full bath upstairs is a huge plus. The only negative, is the queen bed was not good for two. Sleeping on the one side left you rolling to the center. Thankfully, the couch was also comfortable for sleeping! Great hiking trails close by, and Sparta is not a far drive at all for some good food and drinks. Saw several deer on the drive in, and a few turkeys.

This was a guys trout fishing trip and the house was perfect for that. Walking distance to the river and just the perfect spot. House was fully equipped with all you needed for your stay. Will definitely be back!

We've been coming here for three years now, and have thoroughly enjoyed each stay. There are so many outdoor activities to do, or you can just relax on the porch and take in the scenery. Highly recommend for an incredible getaway!

Perfect in every way.... quiet, peaceful, comfortable.

The instant we walked through the door we were smitten with this home! It smelled fresh and woodsy. The space felt very bright, warm and welcoming; even nicer than expected. There was a beautiful view from every window. Being beside the river was a delight. It was interesting to watch the river change after a day of heavy rain. The river turned milky brown, flowed more swiftly as the water level rose, then slowly calmed as the skies cleared. Great place to tune into nature, and we also enjoyed watching the deer and many turkeys walking through the yard. Loved the bathroom sinks and that beautiful kitchen sink! Was very nice to have two bathrooms. The outdoor fireplace was sensational and made this place extra special. It's lovingly decorated and thoughtfully appointed. Thanks for a wonderful anniversary getaway! We hope to return sometime.
