(Although the exit gate from the property was on a sensor that was a little finicky but worked). - Bathrooms were nice and had plenty of towels. - Beds were comfy and clean, would recommend bringing your own pillow if you dislike firm ones. - Washer & Dryer on property. - Lots of kitchen supplies (Foil, Plastic Wrap, Utensils & Plates/Bowls, spices, etc.) - Walmart & Gas within 30ish minutes of driving. - Go visit Falls Creek Falls & Rock Island for some awesome views. Cons: - Could use more lighting on the back deck for grilling, and a light on the side of the house for the fire pit. - Possibly some ghosts strolling through the neighborhood? We could distinguish acorns falling off and hitting things, but we did hear some random footsteps inside and outside of the house during the night time. After double checking the house, no other people or animals were within.

We ran into the owners at a nearby "C- Store" and struck up a conversation about what was available in the area. Before long they invited us back to their place, showed us all around the development and we wound up having a beer and burgers with them that evening. Had such a good time that we booked a 4 day "reunion" with old friends a couple months later and simply loved it. We fished, hiked, cooked out and explored Fall Creek Falls, Cumberland Caverns and just poked around the rim. It was a very relaxing way to reconnect with old friends. The condos are spacious, well decorated, extremely comfortable and practically soundproof. Our next generation of young adults partied just one unit over and we heard nothing at all. It was one of the most relaxing weekends we've had in recent memory. And The whole experience was fast, friendly and "contactless". We paid online, got our key texted to a smart phone, drove straight to the resort and didn't breathe on anyone outside our own party all weekend. If you're looking for glitzy restaurants or loud night life, stay in Nashville. This is a "Bring Your Own....." kind of place. But if you want to reconnect with nature, while sleeping in a real bed, with fireplaces, nice kitchens, patios overlooking the water and all he comforts of home, then you'll love it.

Close to Falls Creek Falls, but also far enough to feel like you can disconnect and enjoy.

What a dream trip to the country!…read more Firstly - Laurie and David are amazing hosts. We so enjoyed talking to them and hearing about how they got all their sweet, friendly animals. The space we stayed in was a small apartment over the garage, and it was good for three women and a 7 month old baby. It was clean and well appointed! We got to interact with goats, pigs, mini horses, alpacas, dogs, cats, highland cows, chickens, and sheep.. it was truly magical to watch the baby interact with all the animals! They were in our backyard, and insanely quiet. I assumed the animals would be heard at all hours, but I didn't hear them once! The only downsides were there wasn't AC in our 1 bedroom apartment, just one window unit in the kitchen. I'm low maintenance except when it comes to getting too hot, so no AC in the bedroom made me nervous. Thankfully they have ceiling fans in every room so we just cranked them up and left the bedroom door open and were comfortable even in the upper 80s. Just something to note if you're sensitive to heat like I am We loved our trip so much that we're planning to come back soon! Thanks again for a wonderful stay with such gentle and sweet animals!

We took a short hike to the base and walked behind the falls and played in the water. The glamper itself was what everyone hopes and prays for from their camping trip - everything already set up for total comfort with water (provided in jugs), a fireplace if chilly, multiple ways to cook, a firepit and chairs on the balcony looking out into the forest. There was another bench over looking the falls which we took advantage of multiple times. Overall the property was everything we had wanted and so much more with an amazing price tag. I would suggest a higher clearance vehicle if you don't want to carry everything down. We didn't feel comfortable personally taking our sedan all the way to the site but there was a perfect parking spot about a city block away that was an easy walk to and from. There is also a fairy garden and to see the "fairies" play at night is so cool. The entire stay was relaxing, enjoyable and truly the best stay we have had in quite some time.

I was blamed for the patio doors that hadn't been cleaned in months. My Truck having 500.00 in damages from the unprotected pool driveway was my fault.

That's when the owner went crazy. Thought I was looking for a freebie. Stay away.

Just finished a week at Laurel Fork Rustic Retreat with our horses. The trails at Big South For…read moreare wonderful! It was our first time and we met good people on the trails. The cabin was nice (Laurel Cove) and cozy, and well equipped. But the screen door was broken, the hot tub water was cloudy/dirty and many of the jets didn't work, and the horse stalls while cleaned out, smelled of urine. There is no grass available for grazing in the paddocks or in hand. Some grass near the house and on the road but the rules restricted allowing the horses to graze there. Everything is very wooded. No one came to welcome us or stopped by during the week. The written guidance in the cabin was stern, not welcoming. Finally, on our last day. someone came with a tractor to remove our manure pile, before checkout, and disrupted our packing and dealing with the horses. We waved and tried to say hi and they ignored us. Ride out from the cabins was not great. We trailered out to other trail heads all week. So while the cabin was nicely appointed, for the overall experience three stars is generous. If we return to Big South Fork we will try one of the campgrounds with turnout and a more welcoming and interactive management, and a better access to the trails.
