About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Peaceful Vintage Library Getaway near Town

If you want TV, our place is probably not for you. The lack of TV (although it is clearly in our listing) has gotten us several less than stellar ratings. Even so, we stand firm in our decision to keep TV out of both of our listings.

It is our intention to provide a different kind of experience for our guests, one more like our families experienced growing up in the 80's and before, where attentiveness to one another, quiet, and nature were more commonly appreciated. The only TV in the house is a very small vintage one available to watch the vintage media that is provided.

Our home has been recently updated, while still trying to keep a feel from the not-so-distant past. Enjoy the quiet neighborhood from the covered front porch, sunroom, or large rear deck from where the birds and small wildlife can be experienced.
Experience the vintage books in every room. Large living room with piano and vintage media (CD's, VCR, cassette tapes, and records) and ways to play them. Board games and puzzles in dining room.
Each bedroom furnished with it's own desk for study or reading.
Cookbooks in kitchen, National Geographic Magazines, encyclopedias, and educational books in living room, health, garden, and crafts books in 'Mom's' room, pastoral books in 'Dad's' room, and miscellaneous books in 'Sibling's' room.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a fitness center or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Home has a interesting history, filled with many books and mementoes from the family. When we arrived there were two garbage can's outside, overflowing with stinky garbage. (Not sure if trash pickup was missed, but the smell was bad) The lawn was extremely long and overgrown. The listing stated a vintage tv, the tv was a small old tv with no way to connect to live TV, the listing should state "no live TV available", we were under the impression it was a TV with the ability to watch. They have many record albums with a turntable, but the turntable needs a needle. In the kitchen, old rusty pans with loose handles, the coffee pot had old water and a old coffee filter with grounds in in. The toaster did not work, without holding the handle down. There are no bath mats in either bathroom, dangerous getting out of tub, slippery. There was one old blow dryer in one of the bathrooms, there should be blow dyers in each bathroom. Nice beds, overall pretty clean home.

Nice old school home

We enjoyed our stay very much. There was so much seating for entertaining and a big table to play card games. We had so much fun and a wonderful Christmas celebration. The location is great too, about ten minutes from anywhere in town.

Disliked: Amenities
NOT READY FOR PRIMETIME The kitchen (which is poorly equipped) and dining area is spacious as well as the living room.The wood floors throughout are beautiful. However, the rest of the house itself is described as vintage when it is simply old and desperately in need of updates. Two of the three mattresses are worn out and in need of replacement. The primary bathroom faucet is stuck on hot and coming apart. One of the tubs Is grimy and in need of a good scrubbing. The bedside light is terrible. And the house is overwhelmed by dusty bookshelves that need cleaning.We came expecting a turntable and records to enjoy. However, the needle was bad and we could not play any of the albums which were mostly old time gospel. It’s obvious not much has been done to it since the grandparents passed away who originally owned it. Finally, there were four outside dogs next door that barked incessantly. This property has great potential but is sorely neglected.

Great Family Weekend

We came to town for a baby shower. Since we all travel from different directions, renting a house is the best choice. This home was perfect for all of us. The decor is very quaint and gives the home a real family feeling. We all enjoyed learning about the history of the home. Would love to stay there again.

Generally Nice

The property was generally lovely - very convenient and well stocked. It would have been nice to have a tv (the lack of tv/cable might have been in the listing and I missed it). A bigger complaint is that one of the beds is extremely uncomfortable. We noticed that this had been mentioned in the guest book by several others. Finally, the most serious complaint was that the thermostat went out on the second day. We contacted the host at 9 am, heard from her around 11:30 and 2:00 but were not really informed on whether heat was back until 5 pm. I was quite nervous by that time, especially since the host had indicated in her message that she would keep us up to date and might change the lock code. I don’t mind the thermostat issue - that can happen to anyone. I was quite stressed about the communication.

Quiet, private and spacious home in a lovely neighborhood just outside of Cookeville.

After we sorted out the communication issues, we settled in to our “home away from home” for five days. It provided plenty of space for three adults. All the amenities were there, although the kitchen lighting could use some attention and upgrading. Provided us with the quiet we needed after the loud intensity of a competition at CrossFit Mayhem. Interesting family history is seen throughout the home. It suited our needs just fine!

Wonderful Stay in a Beautiful Home!

It was a great venue to stay at. It's only an hour and a half away from Nashville so you can get to the city quickly and enjoy the city during the day and enjoy the small town during the night. The only "downside" was a small leak in the shower head, but honestly, it did not bother me at all. It was a great spot that makes you feel like home!

It was quiet, clean and easy to get in and out. I left you a note in the guest book about a few minor things that could make the property safer and even more pleasant than it was. Thank you for letting us stay
