Beautiful Cabin Get-away

Our stay at this Vrbo cabin was nothing short of spectacular! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The check-in process was seamless and hassle-free, making it easy to settle in and start enjoying our vacation right away. The cabin itself was beyond amazing—cozy, impeccably clean, and beautifully designed. We were thrilled to wake up each morning to the sight of deer and turkey roaming nearby, which added a magical touch to our stay. The beds were incredibly comfortable, providing the perfect night’s sleep after days filled with adventure. The property was absolutely gorgeous, with stunning views and a serene atmosphere that made it hard to leave. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, making this cabin a true gem. We can’t wait to return and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, nature-filled getaway. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!!Thank You again!!!

Another great stay

We’ve traveled the world and rented in many places, but this is the first property we’ve gone back to for another stay. We love the location, the acres of trails, the fishing hole (especially great for kids), and the serenity. Jerry and Janice are wonderful hosts and extremely knowledgeable about the area. A must stay!

Great spot for a more relaxed batchelor party experience

The best kept cabin I've ever stayed in. The beautiful remote property features so much to do without ever having to leave. A great place to have peace and quiet while celebrating a dear friend entering holy matrimony, or a family getaway. We certainly plan on coming back.

Great Place!

We had a great time at Jerry and Janice's cabin! They are so nice and thoughtful, they found out it was our anniversary and had a cake there waiting. They were also able to get a great babysitter so we could go enjoy Nashville just my husband and I! So many great things to do there!

Fantastic experience

We have stayed in several different cabins, this by far was the best one we have rented, the owner met us upon arrival, and was available for us if we needed anything, explained everything that was available, went above and beyond to insure our stay was a true experience

Perfect place to relax!

This property is perfect! Plenty of room both inside and outside. A quiet setting away from it all but close enough to town to get anything you might need. The cabin is beautiful! And the fire pit outside is magnificent! I would spend every night here if I could! Thanks for your hospitality, Jerry!

This is our 2nd stay with Jerry and we enjoyed ourselves just as much as I remember. Canoed the creek, barbecued for supper, hiked the trails and roasted hotdog & marshmallow around the fire while catching up with old friends.

Yellow Creek Cabin Retreat...Spectacular!!!

This remarkably restored, one-of-a-kind cabin is located on one of the most breathtaking plots of land in Tennessee!!! The Crawfords have succeeded in creating a private Smokey Mountain masterpiece right here in the rolling hills of Middle TN! They are fantastic hosts who can recount in detail the history surrounding this cabin and the adjoining lands. If you like to retreat in style with all the modern day trimmings and enjoy nature in all its glory, you MUST visit this place!

Unique to the Max

What a unique home and property! Where you can you stay in bonafide cabin replete with animal mounts (it's like a museum) and vintage decor but with all the modern conveniences to make for a comfortable stay. To top it off, you would be hard pressed to find a more hospitable and helpful host/owner than Jerry and his wife! Not only are they top of the shelf hosts, it's worth your time to draw out of them their life experiences. Talk about unique!

Crystal clear creek

The spacious property is nice for all ages. The hot, humid temps were not even noticed while we swam in the crystal clear swimming hole and the creek. Jerry and Janice were great hosts! The fire pit was a hit each evening! Thanks for providing a place for our family memories.

Perfectly Peaceful Place

My family and I had the most wonderful time at this beautiful retreat. It's perfectly located with beautiful surroundings and a nice creek that you can hear while sitting out on the spacious porch at night. The grandchildren enjoyed playing in the creek. There is a wonderful firepit where you can gather around a fire at night with friends or family. The host is the best and very friendly and provided everything that we needed. We can't wait to get together again at this lovely and perfectly located log house.

Peace and Tranquility in the Wilderness

Jerry and his wife have quite the hidden gem with this listing. If you want seclusion and quite this is the place. The history behind the cabin property is very cool and the daily visit of the turkeys, that you see outside the windows of the cabin, was neat being an outdoorsman. Jerry is a very gracious and hospitable host and will go out of his way to ensure you get what you need. Will definitely be back to try the creek fishing more as this trip just had to much going on with a Wedding. Worth the visit for sure.

What a Great Place

It was such a Beautiful place! The inside and outside was gorgeous!! The craftsmanship and beautiful decor was homey and welcoming. Jerry and Janice didn’t miss a thing...even saved us fresh tomatoes from the garden in the back yard!! We saw wild turkey and deer. Fished in the creek, & for us Arizona people it was a treat to see Fire Flies too! It was a perfect vacation and we can’t wait to make it back next year!!!

Everything about this house is amazing. The bedding is the most comfortable we have had in any rental. Jerry and Janice and extremely friendly and add special touches to the vacation. They meet us at the house at check in and showed us around the property, 163 acres, and told us about all the little secret places to fish, kayak, and swim. Truly a wonderful relaxing week. Thank you.
