Tiny Cabin
Basically a hotel room with a kitchen instead of a closet. I rented for the weekend for a weekend seminar at Sewanee. I just slept there, didn't eat or even get a cup of coffee.So for my purpose it fit the bill.The 1 star for "communication with property manager was one star as I didn't communicate with them. HHOWEVE my communication with Air B&B was TERRIBLE texting with a bot that had no idea what I wanted and then the two people behind the bot didn't help much either.

Location
Neat place with a few rentals. The location was perfect for us to have a two day waterfall/hiking adventure. The only downfall was it being close to the highway so traffic noise and headlights gleamimg through the thin curtains was annoying. Our first night at the campfire three deer walked up. Overall a good stay at Hickory Creek Cottage.

Very clean
I am in an industry that relies heavily on ratings, so I’m not going to be that person that leaves an ugly comment. I do want to state though that we didn’t overly enjoy this getaway. We live in Nashville & LOVE weekend jaunts to Monteagle. We don’t waste a ton of time driving & we know the area well. We enjoy staying in tiny houses, but this place was more of a room. The bathroom was VERY clean, but the kitchen wasn’t functional & the bedroom/den/eating area were all in one small room. Also, when you’re been out shopping and hiking all day, when you return there is no where to sit & unwind & watch TV except on the bed. Also, when we were dressed up to go to High Point, we had to sit on the bed in our nice clothes while we waited to go. This rental is also right on a main road. Like right on it. It seemed that every person in town had a car that they wanted to show off & loudly drove by at all hours. A person got pulled over at 2:00 AM & the police lights lit up the room like a disco. Lastly, the no alcohol sign on the back porch was a bit of a turnoff. I understand that it’s not my property & we abided by the rules, but I’m 55 & have about 2 glasses of wine a month. One of my favorite places to have a glass is when I’m on vacation. I’m so glad for the owner that others have enjoyed their stay here, but in the future we will stick to the tiny houses that we know. I do want state that the owner was VERY responsive when we had an issue.

Quaint little cabin
We came to the Monteagle area for a few days looking to relax and check out this area for a future visit. The cabin was easy to find and sits near the highway located in a nice compound of several cabins located far enough apart for good privacy. We really enjoyed the property as it had some trails on it and a nice outdoorsy feel. Unfortunately it rained the whole time we were there but not surprised due to the time of year. The cabin is small and has a nice screened in porch that would be nice in the summertime. The kitchen is very small but worked out well for us. We will be back again sometime and might rent one of the larger cabins that are on site.

The trailhead cabin was marvelous! For a tiny cabin, it had every essential thing. The cleanliness, screened in porch and location were exceptional! We’re definitely coming back and possibly bringing friends to stay in the adjacent cabins. So many things to do in the area and good restaurants in Monteagle and Sewanna.

Quiet and relaxing getaway
My husband and I chose this area because of all the hiking trails. We ended up spending a lot of time at the little cabin because it was so cold during our stay. We did get in a few short hikes and chose to explore the area. The area really has a lot to offer but is tucked away like a slow paced old town. We didn’t even get to visit some of the places we wanted and definitely didn’t get to all the hiking the area offers! The cabin is located almost directly across from the Cumberland state park information center and a short drive from Sewanee University. The cabin is just perfect for a cozy stay. It is close to the main highway, which I saw someone complain about but honestly, we didn’t hear a thing at night, the area seems to all go to sleep. We didn’t notice the traffic much during the day. We drove through the campus, had breakfast at Stirling Coffee House and explored the old graveyard, it was quite beautiful in the fall. We wanted to eat at the cafeteria and view the chapel there but didn’t make it back. I really felt rested when we came back from this vacation!
