We are atop the Cumberland Plateau, and our mountain home overlooks a beautiful forested valley. With an expansive view from the dining and living rooms, as well as the master suite, it's easy to forget the outside world and focus on family, relaxation, time away from it all, or a change of scenery for work. Welcome to the mountaintop!

The South Cumberland Bluff House is in a quiet neighborhood with only one neighboring house. It's serene and quite 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. (Please note: If guests cancel in the appropriate cancellation window, all money is returned except for the credit card processing fees.)
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. You are required to text us your ETA and when you arrive at the interstate exit so we can meet you at the property for check-in. If other accommodations are needed, you will need to make those known prior to 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.

Please see house rules on this site and at the property. You must agree to these rules prior to booking this property.

Quiet and Magestic
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.

Bluff House get-away
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!

Amazing place!
The Bluff House checked all of the boxes for us! Amazing view, fantastic appointments, everything we could possibly have wanted to have available. The privacy, the view, the huge upper deck, and the immaculate details of the home itself. Of all of the VRBO and rental properties we've stayed at, this was the finest for our needs. Hated to leave, and immediately scheduled a return trip for this fall~! Highly recommend! The owner met us at the property, gave us the home's (amazing!) history, and made us feel right at home immediately. Great people, with a great rental property! Can't wait to go back in October!

Stop looking and book now!
I almost hate to write this review because i don't wan the place to be booked if i wan to book it. The place is perfect. The view is amazing, the hosts have been the best i've ever had. 2 picnic tables outside where we enjoyed several meals make it a great place to hang out. On top of the mountain, the wind is breezy so even if its warm out it helps a ton. It is very well stocked but if you plan to cook, bring your favorite seasonings and condiments. There are a good bit there, but bring some of your own. No condiments, Its close enough to supplies stores if you forget.something. There is a microwave, grill, oven and even a crock pot! Plan to cook here, its worth it! Plenty of plates and utensils. I brought my own grill brush. There may have been one, but i didn't see it. We were there for a weekend caverns event and hope to rent it for every event. It is a 20 minute drive to the caverns and 10-15 for supplies. All the beds were comfy and nice older looking furniture and decor made it comfy to hang out in. Even the bunk beds were comfy. My group was all 30+ and the only complaint we had was the water pressure... That is to be expected way up on a mountain! Book it now! Ill definitely say here anytime we are anywhere near the area.

Fantastic views and comfortable beds!
Our stay was wonderful! Fun hearing the history of the house with a welcome tour from Tori. Everything was very clean and well equiped. The view from the living room and rooftop deck was simply breathtaking! We enjoyed playing cornhole under the lights with the mountains as a wonderful backdrop. Coming back to super comfortable beds after a long day of riding razors, was the icing on the cake. Ben was very prompt and courteous with his communication, as well! So looking forward to coming back again! 10/10 would recommend 👌

Very close to hiking and the view was amazing. The kitchen, living room and bedrooms were really nice (good mattresses). The bath rooms are cute but the tubs are difficult to climb in and out of safely, especially if you’re older. We enjoyed the fire pit very much too. Owner’s were very helpful and kind.

The house definitely had some charm! The view is quite spectacular! It was just my husband and I but honestly another couple and 6 kids could comfortably sleep. Both bathrooms had claw tubs with a showerhead. My husband is very tall so it felt awkward to him, but both bathrooms had plenty of towels for the 2 of us. There is a large glass kitchen table that fit 6 perfectly as well as a seating nook in the kitchen that could seat 4or 5. We really enjoyed the many options for hiking that are really close to the house Our favorite was Foster Falls. We really had no problems or complaints. The owner Tori met us at the house to check us i. and answer questions. The only thing I would point out to a larger family staying is to be aware there are not a lot kitchen accessories if you like to bake or cook large family meals. Very basic selection for cooking but adequate if you were not planning to cook for a group! We will definitely like to come back!

Truly exceptional hosts-- many are purported to be but Ben and Tori are the real deal. The property is stunning and the view is remarkable. House is well decorated, comfy, and offers all the amenities you need. Excellent place to just "get away" if you're a couple but could also easily accommodate a large family or group. Be sure to visit Foster Falls to swim, Blue Chair Bakery for great coffee and breakfast, and across the street there's Lunch (that's the name, lunch only!).
