Excellent location, hot tub was awesome after hiking the mountains all day. A very thoughtful VRBO with many nice surprise touches (like a broom staged outside to clean the leaves off of car).

The house was clean, stocked with the essentials and has a beautiful piece of property. Even though it was in a residential area, it felt private and serene. LOVED the soft bed (guest room), the shower (amazing!) and the hot tub! I would definitely stay at this place again!
This cottage was perfect for my family. My teenage boys were thrilled to have a couch with recliners facing the TV just like home! They also loved the shower which had excellent water pressure. Our host shared restaurant recommendations and was easy to communicate with. The location was a great jumping off point for hiking in several state parks and exploring Cumberland Caverns. We would definitely stay here again!
Carol was very attentive via messages. Calfkiller Cottage was comfortable very quiet and well appointed. We were visiting family who lived 1.2 miles away so the location suited us well. Great shower with great water pressure. We would stay there again.
Very cozy, clean, and comfortable. I didn't have time to use the Jacuzzi, unfortunately, but it looked well maintained like the rest of the house. The neighborhood is quiet, and the location is very convenient.I would definitely recommend this property.
We used the house mostly as a jumping off point for our adventures but we did manage to get some use out of the hot tub while we were there. It is within a short drive to a bunch of wayerfalls and hiking spots.
Took my kids to kayak to Burgess Falls and then stayed the night in Sparta. Wish we could have stayed longer. The house was nice and roomy and the kids enjoyed the hot tub.
The house was clean and cozy. The yard needed some upkeep but there had also been a lot of rain. The location was close to our family we were visiting.
We had a great time during our stay and the house had everything we could have needed and wanted. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub and the location put us close up several things we wanted to do. Great communication with host as well!
Loved the cute cozy home. Perfect outdoor space to sit and relax. Would definitely stay again. Only down side is tv in our room didnt work but the livingroom tv was great.
Property is small but for the 3 of us it was perfect enough room for our 2 night stay wish the beshad bigger tv/ other bedrooms did not but we made it work!
Cute very clean loved the hot tub wish it had more of a privacy fence around it. TVs in bedroom Really need to be upgraded atleast 32 inch lol the secondary was so tiny! Grounds were beautiful so peaceful
Beautiful cottage! Saw wildlife in the back yard. Burgess falls nearby. Excellent shower and hot tub. Wish it was closer to the river.We would stay there again! Very restful and relaxing.
Stayed for 6 days. The house was perfectly located for chasing waterfalls. We seen 18 waterfalls in 4 days. The house had everything we needed. The hot tub was nice after hiking. The shower was awesome, might of been the best shower I’ve ever had.
