What a cute little studio with everything you’ll need for a quick trip. It was private & gave the appearance of being secluded even though you weren’t. The studio was clean however there were ants on the counter in the kitchen. We did not cook so not a big deal for us. I think with the woods near it’s to be expected to have some insects. Everything else was very clean. You can hear the cars drive by & if anyone is staying next door you can hear talking through the walls but it wasn’t a bother to us. Being able to walk to the welcome center of the state park was an added bonus. You can also walk to the 1 mile nature walk at the welcome center. We drove 20 miles to South Pittsburgh to the Lodge Museum & Lodge flagship store. Enjoyed dinner at the Depot Cafe (staple in Monteagle) & Papa Ron’s Pizza & Italian Steakhouse. Very friendly staff at both!

I wish we could have stayed more than 1 night. We stopped here on our road trip back from Orlando to Louisville. This spot was perfect for one night, but could also have been perfect for even more. I loved the property. It’s so well organized, and nestled into nature itself. The unit was very clean, and the AC worked well. Our dogs loved exploring the ground. This place would be such a fun place to stay with relatives, or even just if you’d like to do some Tennessee hiking.
