Weekend Trip to The Artist's Farm, Center Hill Lake

Breanna's art studio is a must stay if you are a fan of all things crafty, and was the perfect retreat! We loved the quiet, wooded setting and it was exactly what we needed to recharge. The town of Cookeville is a mere 20 minutes away which has a wonderful assortment of restaurants, plus there are a number of parks and hiking trails nearby for the nature enthusiast. If you're looking for peace, creativity, and convenient access to urban life, book this place now. We can't wait to return!

1 night at Crossing Creeks Farm

We loved the glamping cabin and the views. It matches the description well. Great place to stargaze too we spotted some meteors as well! But it was super chilly and there was just one heater so that was little hard to sleep we assumed there would be more. But in summer I think it would have been the best. We didn't get to interact with hosts a lot but they were super responsive. Would definitely recommend but come geared up.

Weekend Trip to Crossing Creeks Farm

It was absolutely magical. My mom and my family of five with a 4, 3 and 2 year old had THE BEST time. We had plans to do things in the area and the grounds themselves were so amazing we never left once we parked. 10/10 in ALL ways. Dog friendly too.
