Tennessee Mountain Home in Beautiful Wooded Setting

"The mountains are calling and I must go." (John Muir)

Tennessee Mountain Home is located on the Cumberland Plateau, 3 miles from the south entrance to Fall Creek Falls State Park in Van Buren County, Tennessee. It is situated on 3 acres in a wooded setting.

We are now making it available as a vacation rental when not in use by members of our family. It is the closest rental to the park's south entrance. The nightly rate is $125 and is based on double occupancy. Stay a full week and receive a 15% discount! There is a two-night minimum. Additional guests may stay, but you'll need to contact owners for info regarding that. We do not charge a cleaning fee. We do ask our guests to leave our mountain house in order and reasonable clean - mainly all trash placed in the outside receptacle with lid securely attached - all used kitchen items washed, dried, and put away - or simply left in the drainer to dry. If our guests will assist us in this way, we will be able to continue not charging a cleaning fee. We also do not require a damage deposit and hope that will continue to be the case.

This welcoming little house was completed in the fall of 2017. It was custom built by some of our Mennonite neighbors. It has 720 square feet of living space, a 125 square feet covered back deck, and a 130 square feet concrete patio complete with an outdoor fireplace. You're going to love sitting by a crackling fire in the evenings, listening to the whippoorwills, and watching the occasional deer wander through. As the day settles into evening there is a noticeable stillness and quietness that is so relaxing. On a clear night it's a wonderful place for viewing the star-lit sky.

The house has one bedroom with a queen size bed. There is one bathroom with a tub/shower combo. Bed linens are provided, as well as towels & wash cloths, and dish towels & dish cloths. There is a sofa in the living area. It is NOT a sofa bed. There is also a swivel rocker and ottoman. A smart TV makes it easy for you to access your favorite shows/movies using your personal subscription passwords. Remember to sign out before you check-out

A landline phone is available along with complimentary WiFi via high speed fiber optics service.

The kitchen is stocked with basic cooking and serving supplies. Heating and air-conditioning is provided via a Carrier high wall ductless split system. There is also a wood burning (electric) stove for ambiance and optional heat. Cuddle up in the winter months or open the windows in mild weather to enjoy the refreshing mountain breeze.

Water for the house is provided via a well on the property. It was tested at Tennessee Technological University and is also filtered.

A charcoal grill is on-site but you will need to bring your own charcoal. You will also need to bring your own firewood if you plan to use the fireplace. There are places nearby that sell firewood.

Cute, Cozy Nest

The location is beautiful, peaceful, and near Fall Creek Falls where my son ran the 50k. I enjoyed taking in the mountain home as a whole. It is well-appointed and served as a solo writing retreat as well.

Pleasant Get Away

The property was clean, stocked with most essentials, and private. The close location to Fall Creek Falls was a plus. The only problem for me was that the shower did not have grab bars, which is something I need now. At any rate, we both enjoyed our stay very much.

Fall Creek Falls Hiking Adventure

Location is perfect, just down the road from Fall Creek Falls entrance. The house is delightfully quiet, away from all distractions and fully equipped in every aspect. We would recommend to purchase all type of needs in Sparta or Dunlap. Joe and Nancy are great hosts who responded to all questions quickly and thoroughly.

Relaxing

We enjoyed our stay at Tennessee Mountain Home. It was so peaceful and relaxing. We were just a short drive from Fall Creek Falls for hiking and sightseeing. We enjoyed the Mennonite community and their goodies. We hope to be back so we can relax and recharge again soon. Mr Joe was so helpful. We have already recommended it to several of our family and friends.

We loved our stay overall! The location can’t be beat, quiet and close to Fall Creek Falls. The back porch was spacious, we loved having breakfast outside and coffee in the Adirondack chairs, and the fireplace was amazing. Saw and heard lots of wildlife, including whippoorwills! We had three main issues: the bed was extremely soft and VERY squeaky; the wasps and hornets, which built several nests while we were there (bring spray!); and as several others said the home was dusty. But the pros outweighed the cons and we would definitely return. The owners were very nice and responsive and have a jewel in the mountains.

Weekend Stay

We stayed over the weekend while we were traveling through. The property is cute and in very close proximity to the park. If you’ve come to enjoy the park, this would be a great option. While it was relatively clean overall, the sheets on the bed were noticeably discolored and very pilled, and it could use a good dusting. We also had an issue with the AC not working. I can’t fault the owners for that portion, as the gentleman did stop by and look at it, but there was no one in the area to come work on it over the weekend. We just opened the windows and turned on the ceiling fans. Overall, this is a cute property located close to the park. The owners are super responsive as well.
