Booked this property for my bachelor party with 10 friends and it was a perfect blend of fun action in downtown Nashville and a quiet chill getaway. The property has just about everything you need, fire pit was great for hanging at night after the long days, game room was a blast and a nice escape from the heat. Ubers to Broadway were around 45-a hour but we knew that going in and wasnt really an issue. Didn't have any major issues getting food and supplies delivered either aside from a driver or two getting a tad lost. Host communication was on point and even let us check in early and check out late. Overall would definitely recommend!
We had a great time at The Getaway. The property was very secluded and quiet. There were ample games for my family. The fire pit area was perfect. And the owners were great at communicating. We had lots of rain and some massive storms, and they were quick to check and make sure we faired well. They were also quick to respond to any questions we had. Iâd stay again!
It was clear when pulling up to the property we had made a great choice. From the warm cozy cabin to the secluded property it was the perfect setting for us to take a breathe from everyday life and enjoy each others company. Definitely will come back again!
Our stay was great, the property is so peaceful. Sitting on deck in mornings, drinking coffee watching the wildlife. The game room is so fun. We did not have any kids with us but hey, us adults had fun. We were suppose to be 13 adults but only 4 of us made it on this trip. But the cabin is very spacious and if everyone would have made it there, there would still be plenty of spacious room and not feel crowded. We was looking forward to fishing in the pond but with the drought TN has been going through The pond was all dried up. I couldn't figure out how to turn thermostat down don't think you have control of that. But it stayed at 72° so wasn't bad. I have nothing negative to say about this beautiful Getaway. Thank you!
Location was great, pictures were almost exactly what you get except the pond is currently under renovation. Check in process and communication with the VRBO host was easy. We had a great time and couldn't have asked for a better location. Well worth the investment.
The house and property was beautiful and we enjoyed our stay overall. I was a little mislead by the ad stating it was on a private 50 acre property. There is another house within view of the patio/fire pit area. It seems like the photos almost purposely hid that house. Still very private, but not exactly as the ad led me to believe. Also, the pull out sofa bed is broken in the downstairs bedroom. I read this in previous reviews, so I reached out prior to my stay and was assured that it was in good repair. It wasnât. My niece slept on it and it completely sank in the center.
Awesome things about the property was the equipped kitchen, clean linens, board games, comfortable beds, bonfire area, large family gathering table, clean gas grill with plenty of propane, and porch area with rockers. Some things that could use a little more attention were some of the games in the game room. The internet service was intermittent in both the house and game room. The interior log walls in the house and light fixture in kitchen could use a deep cleaning to remove heavy dust. The upstairs bedroom with 2 queen beds had difficulty staying cool even though there was a vent in the center of the room. Overall there were so many other things that made our stay very enjoyable.
Property was exactly as advertised. Rustic cabin in spacious hills outside of Nashville. Plenty of space for large groups. Great kitchen, great appliances, large dinning room table and wonderful fire pit. All bathrooms clean and inviting. Beds were comfortable! Unfortunately there were a couple of amenities that could use some attention. The pull out couch in the master bedroom off the dinning room was broken, couches in the living room are past the usefulness and uncomfortable, bunk beds are only useful for pre teens and under, ping pong table busted, no basketball shooting nets, only one of the three bikes were rideable, and most importantly THE INTERNET was very week leaving no ability to stream any movies on the great tvs throughout the cabin. Would still rent the cabin again but hopefully the issues could be addressed. Thanks.
We had a group of 10 friends come from various states to experience the Tennessee and Nashville life. The stay was fantastic, with a beautiful private location that has what feels like a mile long driveway! The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. Dishes and utensils were plentiful for the large group we had. Plenty of rooms and beds for everyone. Game room was a blast and one of the places we spent much time at. The front porch with the fireplace to the open view was where we spent most of our time relaxing. Overall, just a great location for a great value. Thank you!
The property and location were wonderful. The VRBO listing states "This cabin is the perfect place to "get away" for both small and large gatherings". Under house rules it states- Maximum OVERNIGHT guests 16. We had 14 max overnight but had planned an Easter celebration for our 11 grandkids and their family. We were told the day we checked in the max on the property was TO BE A MAX OF 16 at one time. This made our weekend very stressful to say the least. Our gathering happened anyway.
This house is so well set up for a family gathering. The kitchen is well stocked, plenty of board games and an entire garage of other game options. The setting is beautiful and the entire house was decorated for Christmas perfectly! Communication was excellent. We would highly recommend this rental.
My wife & I along with our 4 close friends have been spending a long weekend together in September (usually Labor Day) since 1983. Originally we booked a chalet in Gatlinburg, but being from Nashville after the millennium we decided to stay closer to home. So we started booking lake houses on Center Hill & Tims Ford. Last year we purchased E-Bikes & since lake houses have limited property we found "The Getaway" with its pastures to be perfect.
First the good stuff: The kitchen is supplied with every accessory one can imagine, there was plenty of room for everyone & everything, the home in general is very comfortable & livable, & the grounds were excellent for our rides. I would recommend it to anyone.
Now the challenges:
1. On Saturday we wanted to watch football, but had trouble at first figuring out the Dish/LG remotes. Finally discovering that the Dish remote was missing batteries we had to steal some from the upstairs master*.
2. We also discovered the HDMI cable for the DVD player was missing so we had to disconnect the one to the Dish box & use it to watch DVDs*.
3. We were going to cook steaks on the gas grill only to discover that the only tank was empty. So we ended up pan frying them on the kitchen range*.
*I notified the owner of these items, but unfortunately it wasn't until the next morning that he delivered them to us so we had to be a little creative as mentioned.
4. I would say inside the house was as clean as to be expected for a rental. The outside looked as if the cleaning crew does not address anything outside as there were bird nests in the eaves & guano on the porch deck below. This was also brought to the ownerâs attention.
All in all we had a great time at âThe Getawayâ & as afore stated I would recommend it to anyone.
We stayed here for a work retreat and were not disappointed. Internet was great and there was plenty of space to spread out. I could tell this property was well taken care of. We had a few minor maintenance issues that were recognized, there was a minor gnat issue, and the fishing pond wasn't really what was expected but other than that we were super satisfied! They even decorated for fall! I would certainly stay here again!
Overall we had a lovely time in this property. However, upon arrival we noted several issues. A leak from one of the bathrooms on the 2nd floor down to the table in the dining room, the handle on the fridge was loose and ultimately broke off, one of the cabinet doors was askew and the AC in the game room did not work. I communicated with the management team right away and they did respond timely. I do believe every effort was made to get the AC working ASAP and its not their fault the owners HVAC person was unreliable.
Our overall impression of the house is that there has been wear and tear since the rentals started and while the house was super clean, maybe the other types of maintenance could be stepped up. Also we noted that the AC in the two second floor bedrooms ( the 4 bunks and 2 queens) was very weak and it was quite warm up there even at night.
The property itself is beautiful. We loved the pond and fishing. The wrap around porch with rocking chairs and hammocks was where we spent a lot of time. Our kids even found fossils in the stream. The house was plenty big enough for our family of 14 to not be too cramped when we were all there.
One thing to note is that there is a ton of construction happening elsewhere in that area. We had a contractor drive up to the house one day who we had hoped was the HVAC guy but really was trying to deliver lumber to a site.
The property was lovely. We had beautiful views and wide open spaces. The air conditioning in the game room was not working well and it was too hot to use. The house was not as clean as I expected it to be but we still really enjoyed it. The kitchen was well stocked.
We had a great time in this cabin with 3 families who have 8 kids total (ages 2-10). It was a beautiful secluded area that was still close to things to do . The owners were very communicative and helpful.
We had a wonderful stay. The house was well-stocked with everything needed. The only thing I missed in the kitchen was a mixer. The only other thing that wasnât mentioned in advance was the master fireplace doesnât work, and the jets in the master tub do not work. In spite of those things, we had a wonderful time and enjoyed the beauty of the location. Our grandson loved fishing in the pond and caught lots of fish. Wonderful and relaxing mini-vacation.
