Nestled near Smithville, Tennessee, and Center Hill Lake, my property is situated at the end of a "holler," ensuring a secluded retreat. With no neighbors for several miles behind my 120 acres, this serene escape ranges in elevation from 600 to 1200 feet, featuring remarkable rock formations and canyons accessible through trails. Revel in the tranquility as you unwind on the front porch, gazing at the stars and listening to the soothing calls of owls. Inside, find comfort in two beds boasting new gel foam mattresses (38" twin). You bring your own sleeping bag or linens and towels. Stay connected with provided internet access while enjoying the convenience of washing and drinking water. Experience the refreshing touch of a natural spring, where you can place a cup for a cool drink. Additional amenities include a accessible garden hose, a drink refrigerator, and a microwave. Stay cool with a ceiling fan and utilize electric plugs for your convenience. Electric heat is provided. An attached outhouse with a cedar shaving commode provides a rustic yet comfortable relief option. Relish the outdoors on the covered deck equipped with a table, chairs, and a tabletop wood stove perfect for cooking hotdogs or roasting marshmallows. Venture down the road to explore rock hunting along a creek or make a short 4-mile trip to Center Hill Lake. This unique property offers a blend of natural beauty and comfortable amenities for an unforgettable getaway. The host lives next door and can answer any questions or be of help.

Baker Hollow Farm in Nashville

17mi from Gallatin · 1 site · Lodging · Goodlettsville, TN
Nestled on a sprawling 40 acre farm just 15 miles from downtown Nashville, this cozy cabin is a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature's beauty. At the front of the property you will find horses in the paddocks as well as chickens, mini donkeys, a sheep, a pig, mini Highland cows, and dwarf Nigerian goats, all within the barnyard. A spring fed creek runs along the front of the property by the road and there is a stocked one acre pond near the main home. Also near the main home is treehouse "cabin" complete with a swinging bridge. Feel free to bring fishing poles, feed and pet the animals, and gather eggs early in the morning. Tucked in the hollow of the surrounding ridges, the rustic cabin sits on the hillside with a small pond at the foot. A wide front deck with rocking chairs and a double glider overlooks the pond, offering a perfect spot to have coffee at sunrise or unwind beneath the stars. The cabin is furnished with antiques, a fluffy queen bed, and an oversized bunk above. Although the cabin is meant to be a retreat from modern electronics, it does have a cieling fan, light, TV, and outlets powered by solar panels. There is an outdoor sink and small tankless hot water shower head, gravity fed by a water tank on the hillside. You will also find an RV toilet behind the cabin under the awning.

Idyllic Cottage w/ Fire Pit

14. Idyllic Cottage w/ Fire Pit

44mi from Gallatin · 1 site · Lodging · Readyville, TN
Secluded luxury cottage getaway situated in the woods but close to unique experiences at Cripple Creek Retreat. Stay in the professionally designed home and enjoy the quiet and seclusion, make s'mores or cook dinner around the fire pit, or take a nap in the hammock. We are located minutes away from downtown Murfreesboro and 45 minutes away from downtown Nashville! Great local restaurants and live music/outdoor concerts at Hop Springs, or brunch at Readyville Mill or antiques nearby. Spacious and airy 550 square feet- King bed with luxury bedding. Cook s'mores on the fire pit, and lie around in the hammock. Watch the resident deer and turkeys pass by and listen to the birds or just hear the wind rattle through the leaves overhead. If you just want to hibernate indoors, warm and cozy, and watch a movie, we have YouTube TV and a smart TV if you'd like to log into any of your streaming accounts and binge something from your watchlist. Bar area stocked with all the tools and glassware you need to whip up a cocktail or enjoy a glass of wine while you watch nature just outside. Coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are supplied as well as all the herbs, oils, and spices to whip up a meal on the two-burner induction cooktop or bake something in the toaster oven. Coffeemaker, dishware, pots, and pans included. Indoor pebble floor shower with rain shower head and private outdoor shower off the bathroom (open when temps are above freezing, from spring to fall). Desk area inside for those times when you need to work. Puzzle, games, playing cards, magazines, and books, if you'd rather enjoy an activity unplugged. USB plugs are on each bedside table as well as reading lights. Lounge on the couch and watch TV, or stay in bed and enjoy your favorite movie or show. Something to offer every season: when the weather is gray and gloomy, it's warm and cozy inside, and you can still enjoy the fire pit and string lights, enjoy the peace and quiet, look at the stars, and watch our resident deer. Springtime brings trees flowering and leaves appearing, and birds chirping, warmer temps that make lingering outside pleasant.
