We loved it, but really did to speak up more on that driveway. WOW. Love the place, great screened in porch. Curtains on the large glass door down stairs. Overall it was very accommodating for our needs.
We gathered to have an intimate wedding ceremony with only our adult children. The house was the perfect size for us and the beautiful setting allowed for family photos. All in all, it exceeded our expectations. Do believe them when they say the driveway is steep! We did not have any trouble but could be a surprise if not expecting.
The cabin was quiet, clean, and cozy, perched atop a quiet hill. Great location too. Close to Nashville, and a fairly simple drive to Bloomington largely on gravel roads leading to 46. The cabin's wifi worked well, which was an unexpected bonus. If I was looking for downside, I'd say the kitchen could be better stocked.
ProIt is as described and things to bring. Excellent location to Nashville and BTown for Graduation. Over all had great time. Very pieceful. Would do again with whole large familyConDidn’t know about relative steep gravel drive. Some family members real nervous on first drive up.. Rainy made it worse and slickAll the window crank knobs we’re broke which made closing extremely difficult.
Overall a great stay- location is perfect and good common space for a group! The futons are not really realistic for adults to sleep on, we had some very sore people by the end of the weekend, although they may be fine for kids. I thought it was strange we had to bring our own paper towel and there was no dish soap. However, we would come back again! Driveway was not too bad, just have to go for it.
The cabin itself was great. We had a group of friends meet up for a weekend getaway and play board games. Good times were had. Beds were great. Water presswas amazing. The only complaint about the weekend and reason we would not choose this site again is the steep driveway. It was a challenge for all to go up the driveway - some couldnt do it. It seemed as if they had fresh gravel put down recently which just made it worse. Again, very good cabin for our needs.
This was the first year we decided to celebrate Christmas as a whole family - our adult children, sister and brother-in-law, aunt and mother-in-law. It was a wonderful experience! There were 9 of us. The cabin fit us well. We had plenty of room to play games as a group or spread out between the screened porch, hot tub and lower level with the pool table.
Thank you for helping create a wonderful family memory and start of a new tradition!

Girl’s Weekend
Beautiful setting in the woods, and very cozy house. Comfortably sleeps 8. Needs new mattresses, and furniture. Basement door opens the wrong way, and is a safety hazard. It would be great if a lock box with a code was on the door, the trip in town to get the key was long. Also, communication comes from a different company than VRBO. I missed an email because of that. The space in the home was great!! Lots of extra linens. I would recommend!
We stayed in Elm Lodge three nights during an intense rain event. Flooding everywhere in the Nashville area including in our cabin. Management was amazing! They found us another cabin to check in to but the roads were closed due to flooding so we stuck it out. With a shop vacuum and manpower, we kept the water at bay for the first night and by the next morning, it had stopped completely! An act of nature did not damper our trip!This is a wonderful cabin! Well supplied, lovely grounds and view and adequate room for our party of twelve. Beds and futons need to be updated but they served their purpose. Firewood is provided for both the fireplace and fire pit - a huge plus! Be aware that the drive to the cabin is steep but manageable and you navigate many gravel roads to get there but it is well worth it!We would definitely stay here again. Management was in constant communication and went above and beyond taking good care of us.

Unusual Concerns
The cabin was neat and clean. Beds were comfortable. I didn’t find dish towels. There was not a dishwasher. The check in procedure was very regimented. We completed the necessary paperwork but we were required to wait until just before 4:00 to be handed the keys. Standing around in the office waiting for the key even though we had completed all paperwork was awkward. Some information provided listed items to bring including toilet paper. I found this unusual and caused me concern prior to arrival. There was toilet paper in the cabin upon arrival. Perhaps this info was for other more rugged properties but it should not have been listed this way for the cabin. I think a review of info provided would be helpful for the business.
This is an amazing cabin for family get togethers! Plenty of beds, clean and amazing screened in porch! Feels very private and secluded. The driveway is very steep, if you have 4WD it’s easy but takes a few times with 2WD.
We rented the Elm Lodge for a family Christmas getaway. The property was very clean, decorated for Christmas and we were able to sleep 10 people comfortably. There is no Wifi at this location but we didn't miss it--even the kids and teens adapted quickly and we had a great time together. It was a great experience and we will definitely be going back!
We absolutely LOVED this property. There was ample room for anything and everything we had planned, it was stocked with all the right amenities, and the ambiance was perfect. The kitchen table is BIG and we had more than enough room for everyone, and there were plenty of seats in the living area as well for our party of 7. The water pressure and quality more than met our needs, and the WiFi was more than adequate for a little bit of streaming we had on for the youngest guests. Overall, definitely a 10/10 as far as stays go, we would definitely recommend and would for sure stay again!

Just as described!
This was a nice stay! Had everything we need. Nothing fancy, but great space!My only complaint would be that you have to check in at a separate location and drop keys off there, but it’s only a 10 minute drive! I also couldn’t get an email response back from the rental company but they were responsive by phone.
Overall great place. Only questionable thing was the driveway so as long as you don’t plan on leaving and coming back multiple times a day it wouldn’t be a big issue
This cabin was perfect for 6 adults and 3 ten year olds. Our family Christmas present was to spend time together which we hadn't been able to for several years.
