We are atop the Cumberland Plateau, and our mountain home overlooks a beautiful bluff area. With an expansive view from the dining and living rooms, as well as the primary suite, it`s easy to forget the world below and focus on family, relaxation, and time away from it all.

Guests can access all the main parts of the house. This includes the kitchen and its many amenities, including a refrigerator and freezer, the dining island that seats 6 to 8 people, the dining area that seats 6 to 8, a living room that comfortably seats the same, three lockable bedrooms, two baths, and the laundry facilities. For those working while traveling, the foyer has a built-in desk so you can still be part of the action and not miss a beat. The kitchen island has plenty of space for computers and charging as well.

Netflix is available for TV services/apps. The living room TV is a casting television and will work with your device and app once you download the Vizio app.

Plus: We have an observation deck where you can see nature from a higher vantage point, watch the stars at night, or just sit back on the swing and enjoy the surrounding view of mountains and trees.

We are on a nearby property, so we are available during your stay at the mountain lodge.

The South Cumberland Bluff House is in a quiet neighborhood with only one neighboring house. It`s serene and unique. The home is partially underground, made of area stone on the exterior, with several rooms having local barn wood on the interior. Our family has painstakingly renovated this house and is so happy to share it with others to enjoy.

Additional Guests Info: We charge $10 per person per day for each additional guest beyond the initial two.

There is plenty of parking in the driveway. We are away from the hustle and bustle of city life, but there are bike, hiking, and walking trails close by.

The TV in the living room is a `casting television.` This means you can share the TV screen using your phone or device after downloading the app. Netflix and other apps are available on the Smart TV, too.

**NOTE: We will abide by our cancellation policy and will not reduce booked nights for a refund, nor will we accept alterations except for additional nights or additional guests. Dates WILL NOT be altered for future stays. Refunds will subtract card processing fees. Thank you for understanding.
We like to check in all our guests personally. This allows for any questions to be answered and to provide all the information we can about the lodge. Please text us your ETA and the time you arrive at the interstate exit. We will meet you at the property for check-in. (Remember, we are on CENTRAL Time.) If other accommodations are needed, you will need to make those known before arrival, as well.

We maintain a strict no pet and no smoking policy. Please respect the property by following these rules.

The living room television has a Roku device for easy access to Netflix or other channels you may have access to. We provide Netflix, Hulu, and ESPN+ free of charge. That TV is also `cast` capable and may be used with your smartphone for any subscription, cast-enabled channels you like to watch.

We want you to feel at home. Please find extra pillows, blankets, throws, games, and other items inside the coffee table chest and the closets in your bedroom for your use.

***Remove makeup and staining elements prior to laying in beds or on any linen or cloth surfaces! Stains from make-up, food, drinks, blood or other kinds on linens and towels will result in charge of $50 for stained linen (sheets, pillows, etc) and $10 per stained towel, $8 for hand towel or washcloth.***

If you stain something with blood, please soak towel or linen in COLD water immediately. If something is stained, please let us know so we can help get it washed and avoid permanent staining. If you hide the stained items or fail to tell us, it will result in immediate charges against your deposit. Otherwise, we will work with you to get the stains out.

Other items that are broken will result in a damage charge. You are responsible for broken plates and other dishes, glasses, stemware, etc. and you will be responsible to pay for them through the security deposit for broken and missing items. This applies to household appliances, furniture, and other home decor and accessories.

If you break something, please do not hide it or not tell us. By informing us of lost or broken dishes or items, you are being a good guest and can still receive a positive review.

The pantry contains extra paper towels, disposable drinking cups, and paper plates for your convenience.

The pantry is ready to use and has the microwave on a lower shelf. The freezer is good to store anything may want.

The fireplace in the living room is gas and can be turned on to suit your climate needs. Each bedroom is equipped with an AC unit (during the warmer seasons) and a heater (cooler seasons) for you to use as needed. DO NOT move AC/Heating units.

Both bathrooms have extra towels in the linen closets and other supplies in the same place or under the sink. We are on septic, so please do not flush personal hygiene items.

The door leading to the `basement` at the end of the hall is off-limits.

If I were devious, I would lowball my review on this property so I would always have it open whenever we wanted to visit the area in the future. But, Ben and Tori are such great hosts that I can't do that to them (and I wouldn't, anyway). We stayed at this property this past weekend to return to Sewanee for my wife's college reunion. The house was more than enough of an attraction on its own. We were two couples and three singles, and the house easily accommodated all of our needs. The kitchen is modern and up to date, and the decor inside is clever, comfortable, and attractive. While the house is definitely in the country, it's less than 5 minutes from Monteagle and no more than 15 from Sewanee, which made it a very convenient home base for us. And the best part is the view, overlooking Fiery Gizzard State Park. While misty and rainy weather (not unusual forthe area for late October) kept us from taking full advantage of the outside (especially the fire pit), That's something to look forward to next time. And there will be a next time.

Great location! Check in/out and communication was great with the hosts. Enjoyed learning the history of the home as well. The views and privacy were wonderful. We appreciated the stocked kitchen and gas grill to easily make meals at the house. Location to various hiking spots, parks, and The Caverns was perfect.

Absolutely beautiful view, even from the master bed! Very clean and very comfortable home which made a wonderful base to explore the state park from. Nearby day hiking was just what we needed to relax and unwind. Favorite things: comfortable bed (we had been in a hotel the 3 nights before and slept terribly, so comfortable bed was very important, lol); rooftop deck facing the GORGEOUS view; firefly show in the evening.Looking for a great restaurant? Try High Point. High priced, but definitely worth the treat.

THAT VIEW!!!

Everything went smoothly with check-in. The place is stunning! Inside, outside, the view, the deck views! The furniture was very comfortable. They know people like to bring their own devices to connect to the TVs. They have accessible HDMI ports and power nearby. Check out was simple as can be, none of the extra work as you are packing like taking out the trash or stripping the beds. As a recent convert to The Caverns, I will be returning and always checking if this spot is available!

A beautiful place to stay after a hard day’s work

Co-hosts were friendly and polite. The house was a clean and comfortable. View was spectacular, especially from the rooftop deck. I would recommend this property to family and friends. The big backyard was private, literally at the end of the road.Did I mention the view… Seeing the photos on line from the vantage point of Bluff House overlooking over the valley, is what drove my decision to stay there. It was better in real life. Just what my weary soul needed.

We spent a long weekend at the Bluff House in April. Had a great time. Great views and a short drive to the Caverns along beautiful country roads.Found some fantastic trails to hike and some very good restaurants in the surrounding communities. The communication with Ben and Tori was fantastic and we will definitely be back.

Stunning view for a quiet weekend getaway.

My brother and I purchased our mom tickets to a Christmas concert in the Caverns and found this gem when planning the trip. The Caverns were only a quick 15 minute drive so it seemed like a perfect fit. We flew into Knoxville and enjoyed the scenic 2.5 hour drive down to Pelham and were ecstatic once we arrived. The hosts met us at the property to explain everything at check-in and couldn't have been more hospitable. We arrived around 9pm and were blown away that you could see EVERY star in the sky. The house was cozy and quant and perfect for what we needed. In the morning we woke to an absolutely breathtaking view. I will certainly book this property again for another concert and hopefully be able to make it for when the leaves change. This property is a 10/10 in my eyes!

My friends and I loved this property. We were in Tennessee for my birthday and for a few shows at the Caverns. It was lovely to have a quiet and beautiful place to rest and relax between activities each day. We took advantage of the fire pit as well enjoying the evenings by the fire. The sunsets and sunrises were beautiful.

Our two night stay at Bluff House was just wonderful; we all enjoyed it so much. Tori met us at check-in and gave us the tour and explained how everything worked. The house was very clean, and unlike some rentals I've stayed at, very comfortably furnished. The bluff view was spectacular, particularly from the rooftop deck, and we enjoyed the firepit. All in all, our stay at Bluff House exceeded our expectations and we plan on coming back next fall!

Bluff House Magic

We were badly in need of a four-night getaway, and the Bluff House was exactly made to order! This was our second stay at this property, and once again we were dazzled by the incredible view, and by the privacy. Saw several deer multiple times, and had a visit by a pileated woodpecker. This place is so perfect in every way, and hosts couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful! Highly recommend!
