It was beautiful and cozy. It’s close to crossville and cookeville but far enough away at the same time. We enjoyed the fire pit and just looking at the river from the back deck. The only complaint is the bed was firm and my back likes a softer mattress. All in all this is a fantastic property! ##### Alan B. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Buddy C.

Rained the few days we were there but there was a lovely outside area we definitely would take advantage of next time. The beds were a little too hard and uncomfortable for our liking but the connivence of everything else made it worth it. Also, enjoyed the selection of game and puzzles they had. The hosts were also very communicative and offered wonder recommendations when we asked. Definitely would book again ##### Clare S. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen H.

The owners have done a fantastic job with decorating and outfitting the house. My wife loved sitting outside reading as I read on the comfortable couch. It is definitely in the country, which we love and enjoyed driving some of the backroads. It only took about 15 minutes to drive to town and we and some of the best pizza I have ever had. We will definitely stay in this house again if we are in the area. ##### Karen H. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tricia A. Jul 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect getaway for two Calfkiller cottage was just what we were looking for, a cozy retreat on the river. The home was very clean, had everything that you’d need including a fully stocked kitchen, a washer/dryer, and a grill on the deck overlooking the river, as well as an outdoor fire pit (although it was way too hot during our stay to use). The location was great between Sparta and Spencer and easy to find. The access to the river is a very steep grade down from the house, no stairs, so wasn’t able to enjoy the river close up. Overall, we loved our stay at Calfkiller cottage and will definitely book again when we are in the area. ##### Tricia A. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bradley R.
