The backyard creek runs under the house into a large FISHING POND in the front yard, which has Goldfish, We had Catfish and Brim but heavy rains washed them over the small dam. We applied to restock the pond. You can fish from the front deck in the pond, The goldfish love the kids and the kids love the goldfish. Please bring your fishing poles. We request that you CATCH & RELEASE ONLY.

The pond fountain automatically turns on to enjoy your morning coffee and turns off in the evening. It is off in the winter months. The CREEKSIDE HOT TUB is in the moss-covered backyard and in an enclosed porch in case of rain. The Hot Tub is emptied and refilled before each guest's arrival per the Tennessee Department of Health Regulations. This is the most peaceful vacation home you will ever visit. It is tucked amongst the trees and early in the morning, WILD TURKEYS come to drink at the edge of the pond, and the occasional bear drifts by to bathe with her cubs.

There are new bamboo floors, slate countertops, appliances, area carpets, a washer-dryer, and amazing landscaping in the front yard with a dry creek bed in stone, large boulders, and a RESIDENT TURTLE. THIS IS A GREAT PLACE FOR FAMILIES. KIDS LOVE IT!!!
