Summary: We picked this property because of the location and what we wanted to do while we were there. We were close to all the State Parks and waterfalls we visited. It was a clean, comfortable and accommodating. We enjoyed hanging out on the back porch for morning coffee and again for evening beverages. Such a peaceful and private setting that made our vacation a true getaway. Communications with Dawn before and during our stay was excellent. I would recommend this place to anyone wishing to visit the area. You won’t be disappointed.

Summary: Nice peaceful setting in the country. Butterflies flying around and a quiet stream out back. This location worked well for our waterfall tour.
Chris P. May 19, 2025 03:39:02 AM
Summary: Dawn's propert wa ssituatedat the top of a small slope, adjacent to the floodplain trees and overlooking beautiful Cherry Creek. A pastoral ambiance of lightly used hay fields along the entrance drive really provided a wonderful introduction. The porches, front and back, with rocking chairs and couches, made a wonderful plqce to have coffee or evening beverage and truly relax. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay spending time with more than 33 species of birds, river otter, woodchucks and beaver. The facilities were more than we could have hoped for. Thanks, Dawn, for providing such a great place for out Tennesse time!

Summary: This property provided a peaceful respite. Loved sitting on the back porch listening to the birds and babbling water. Even enjoyed an evening of rain. Inside wasn’t bad either. Will definitely be back if/when in the area.

Summary: I came here with a friend for a week to enjoy all the local parks and waterfalls, and this was a wonderful home base. The house is well kept, plenty of amenities, and Dawn was very helpful and kind. The property is fairly quiet, and the back porch is great for enjoying the evenings. There is also a fire pit with wood provided. The area around the creek was a bit overgrown (and don't even try to get to the waterfall unless you aren't allergic to poison ivy and don't mind getting wet...I tried), but it is still nice to see from up on the porch. The only downside I would give is that the 2nd bathroom is quite small, and the toilet is way too close to the sink, but overall, it did not affect our enjoyment of the trip. I would absolutely stay here again, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet place to escape. Thanks again to the owner for all the useful information!

Summary: The creek, home, and quiet location were perfect for a long weekend adventure! We explored breweries, wineries, and waterfalls in the area. It was always nice to come back to the peace and play some games or relax on the deck next to the creek.
James S. Apr 26, 2025 04:17:48 AM
Summary: Wife and I stayed for a few days by the creek. Enjoyed the stream and seeing the wild Turkeys. House was charming and everything worked as it should. Talked to the lady renting the place several times and she could have not been more accommodating. Hope to stay there again.
Paula H. Apr 20, 2025 04:42:26 PM
Summary: We enjoyed our stay. The house is in a quiet location that is close to many state parks with some of the most beautiful waterfalls. Communication was great. My husband and I are already talking about a return trip.
Jerry C. Mar 27, 2025 08:07:56 AM
Summary: This was a very nice property in a good location. The kitchen was well equipped. The place had a large living area. We liked the table games that were available as well as the jigsaw puzzle which we put together. We did a creek walk to see the refreshing waterfalls on the property.
Caleb W. Mar 7, 2025 12:51:11 AM
Summary: Excellent place to stay. We enjoyed seeing the wildlife on the property and exploring the nearby state parks
