Our week stay was not enough! The apartment is on the other side of the house with the huge garage between the main house and the apartment. Separate entrance. It was IMMACULATE and had everything you need. It had the best layout of any vacation rental we have experienced, and we have been to many. Fantastic screened in porch to enjoy and you still have the view. We spent every evening on the back deck patio table enjoying the view.
Oh, and I always read about the beds...this king size bed was SO comfortable that we were looking for the mattress tag to see the brand so we could buy one.
Barbara and Chuck met us when we arrived to give us a folder with all of the private hiking trails right there in the community, suggested restaurants, etc. We are from Houston, where restaurants are top rated. We were amazed at the restaurants in Cookeville and Crossville. Fantastic! We had the full kitchen with everything, and I mean everything. Barbara had a welcome basket that was packed.
I pack everything when going to a vacation rental because you never know what will be provided. This place had everything. A huge closet with lots of hangers, travel shampoos and conditioners, bar soap, pump soap, extra razors, shaving cream, I could go on and on. I was ecstatic about the hangers. Wine opener, pizza cutter, plastic containers for left overs. Barb thought of EVERYTHING. And it is decorated so cute.
We thoroughly enjoyed Barb and Chuck's company, however they were very cognizant of our privacy . We picked their brains on retiring in that area and had a wonderful time learning the history of the area. We had a blast with them. I wish they were my neighbors!
We plan on returning in January to check out the weather.
P.S. If you need a hair cut, Chuck trained under Vidal Sassoon.
