Property details

Tranquility defined! Situated on a hill surrounded by the glorious South Cumberland mountains, and hundreds of acres of rolling green fields, this captivating cottage is irresistible. It's Curry and Ives setting alone is worthy of framing. From the late 1800s, this humble dwelling was home to multiple generations of one of the early families in Bell's Cove. Important Note: Ladybugs are very common in our region. Certain times a year we do experience some ladybugs inside of homes. Please know that all lady bugs are removed by housekeepers during the cleaning process, but are likely to be back quite quickly in large quantities. Fortunately, it has been restored and renovated with incredible skill, and with a deep love and abiding commitment to its history by two dedicated descendants. The rusticity of its 100 plus year old origins has been retained, yet it's inner beauty has been brought out with a refined flair! This meticulous renovation is so stylish and...simply exquisite.. Accented with original stone fireplaces, vintage and repurposed materials, antique furnishings, and updated with the latest in amenities, it is an experience not to be missed! A beautiful kitchen and charming bath, add to the comfort of your 'get away from the rat race' time here. Sleeps six comfortably in three large bedrooms, on gorgeous vintage style queen beds! All with lush mattresses, and dressed in cozy comforters and fluffy pillows. You're completely surrounded by beautiful wood floors, walls and ceilings, and are guaranteed to awake refreshed and replenished! Large and perfectly outfitted kitchen makes preparing meals easy! You're surrounded by history, surrounded by the seclusion and serenity of the countryside, with all the comforts and more of home. This delightful cottage is filled with family mementos, beautiful furnishings and linens, and wonderful vintage 'rooster' memorabilia, hence its name, Rooster's Roost. The photos don't do this spectacular property justice! Beautiful views are available from several beautifully designed outdoor patios and porches with lots of gathering choices. Wonderful fire pit, grilling area, and lovely vintage Adirondack chairs on the covered side porch with views of the expansive tree dotted lawn. What a fabulous spot for a glass of wine or a morning coffee! Huge front porch with outdoor dining area, a classic Southern porch swing, and flowers and trees surrounding you with beauty and fragrance. Wander the expansive lawn on the way to the pond amidst fruit and colorful specimen trees. Relax in country blue Adirondacks that are shaded under the ancient apple tree, overlooking the peaceful pond with the new cantilevered dock. You will often see deer sharing this beautiful space! Just minutes from The Caverns for amazing concert experiences, the quaint mountain villages of Sewanee, Monteagle and Tracy City, the spectacular State Parks of our beautiful mountains loaded with waterfalls, rock climbing, and amazing hiking.

My friends and I enjoyed our stay here. Both the property and the house are beautiful, and there was plenty of room for the four of us, though we spent very little time at the house. The host was friendly and provided clear instructions. Our only complaint was that we were provided very little toilet paper and were instructed by the host to purchase our own when we requested more. A few other things to keep in mind are that the house does not seem to have AC (not a problem when we went in April) and that the third bedroom doesn’t have a door.

Beautiful property. Enjoyed our stay to the fullest. Make sure to read all the accommodations. Apparently one roll of toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bag is provided. Found it odd but at any rate, I contacted Cheryl by the number provided and the supplys were dropped off. Minor thing that was no big deal. Highly recommend for its location and gorgeous surroundings. Perfect place if you're visiting the Caverns which is 20min away.
