Good to know
🏡 The Home: This private home is perched on a gentle hill, offering 🌄 stunning views of rolling hills and valleys, 🏔️ Turkey Scratch Mountain, and sometimes even the neighboring 🐄 cows grazing just beyond the fence line. 🛏️ Sleeping & Living Spaces: The main level features two bedrooms, each with its own 🚿 full bathroom. For added convenience, a 🧺 washer and dryer are available for guest use, located in a dedicated space within the secondary downstairs bathroom. Upstairs, you’ll find a spacious open loft with a separate 🛋️ living area, 🛏️ four full-size bunk beds, a 🌅 patio with scenic views, and a large 🛁 full bathroom with a tub. 🎮🐾 Garage Game Room & Pet Area: The garage—connected to the home by a breezeway—is both dog-friendly and doubles as a 🎯 game room. This heated and cooled space includes 🏓 a ping pong table, 🎮 classic Nintendo, 🎯 dart board, and a great selection of 🎲 board games. An 🐕 XL doggie door provides access to a 20x15 fenced area, making it easy for pups to enjoy their own outdoor space. Please note, the inside of the home is not pup friend, thank you for understanding!
Other Details to Note
The heated and cooled 400 sq ft - 2 car garage is dog friendly. Inside of the home is not. There is an XL doggie door which leads to a 20x15 fenced in area. If traveling with your pet, please include your pup(s) at checkout when noting your guests. There will be an additional pet fee which covers our additional cleaning fee and wear of the property over time. (Thank you!!) This property is 10 minutes to Rock Island State Park (the headwaters of Center Hill Lake at the confluence of the Caney Fork, Collins, and Rocky Rivers), 15/20 minutes to charming downtown McMinnville, 20 minutes to Cumberland Caverns, 35 minutes to Burgess Falls, 45 minutes to Fall Creek Falls, and much more! Please note, the kayaks shown in the photos are not included with the rental, however, there are kayak rental options nearby that we would be happy to share with you!
