About this property

Get away from it all in this traditional wood cabin in the hills of Tennessee. Peace and quiet above the historic town of Granville, on Cordell Hull Lake. Great views across “them thar hills” from the wrap around porch.
Located an hour east of Nashville this a great base from which to explore and enjoy Middle Tennessee.
Step back in time when you walk through the door into mid-century America. Drink coffee in a kitchen straight out of the 1950s. Relax on the authentic wagon wheel furniture with a cocktail from the vintage bar. Soak in the cast iron bathtub in the period tiled bathroom.
The whole cabin is yours and sits on 2 acres.
There is a hidden modern TV with satelite, DVD player and a Xbox 360.
The stove is a 1956 GEC Spacesaver but there is a microwave for those that prefer something a little more modern. There's also a kurig coffee machine and modern hair drier & iron.
Near to the small historic town of Granville on Cordell Hull lake. Miles of scenic drives around rural middle Tennessee. Local towns for shopping, eating & antiques are Carthage, Gordonsville and Cookeville. For more small town USA visit Gainsboro, Celina, Livingston and Algood. CenterHill Lake is 30 minutes away. Easy day trips to Nashville, Knoxville and Chattanooga.
You'll need an a a boat....
Lots of motorcycles travel around this area due to the beautiful scenery and sweeping rural two lane blacktop. I've even seen a bicycle on occasion!

Nostalgic

We enjoyed the old fashioned feel and authentic vintage items in the home. I had a personalized note from owner upon arrival and enjoyed how modern touches were hidden in keeping with the vintage feel. Beautiful views and great wrap around porch. Owner gave good directions in a message and I still got turned around. He was very responsive to calls and messages. Hope to go back in the future.

Pure Contentment

Lovely stay in the Tennessee Hills with scenic views and deer. The outside wowed as much as the vintage vibe indoors. From a gorgeous Tennessee sunset to a foggy morning chill, we enjoyed it all. I loved making a delicious cup of coffee in the old coffee pot (they had three options for coffee making, so everyone can sip their warm brew), and my son enjoyed his first time grilling. Stepping back in time was such a treat. Cell service is patchy, but the internet works fine. Sighs of contentment...
