Summary: Only downside was it turned very cold and snowed and we were not able to use the fireplace. It needed to be cleaned and inspected ( which is understandable) The owner is super nice, communication was excellent.

Summary: Home was very clean, nicely decorated, and close to Sparta and Cookeville. Plenty of room for two, and although very cold the night we arrived, the host had the home warm and toasty when we arrived, and it was welcomed. Everything you need and quiet. We had planned to leave a day earlier but after seeing the sights we wanted to explore a little more. Messaged the host through the site and she sent a form for the additional night at the price when rented. Very good communication with the host. Beautiful home and area. Picture provided were accurate
