Big Sandy, TN, Sleeps 8
It is like walking into granny''s home. Yes, children are welcome and so are SMALL (less than 50 lbs. and no more than 2) clean pets. Property is 3 miles from the TN River, 5 from Big Sandy, 110 from Nashville, 90 from Jackson and 130 from Memphis Most of them are day trips! Perfect for outdoors people. Winters are mild, and only last about 6 weeks. I can show you back woods areas and would love to show you around on a side-by-side, which will accommodate 3 people plus me. Two would have to ride in the bed. It s like a very short pick up truck. Very rural area and there are two nature preserves close by, as well as other things to do.

Lacking Overall Cleanliness
I did message the host 2 days ago regarding these issues and they never got back to me. I didn’t read anywhere in the listing that the rental is for the basement that the host lives above. You can hear every step they make including at 3am and 6am. It lacked overall cleanliness. Dead bugs in the light fixtures and mouse droppings in the drawers and under the kitchen and bathroom sinks. Crumbs on the table when we got there along with under the couch cushions and the couch. Dirty bedding that was clearly used before us. The list goes on. The place really just needs a deep clean. The worst of it is the dogs go to the bathroom on the porch above the patio. When they urinated, it landed on the table below that we were relaxing at Including in our beverages that were on the table. I have never stayed at a Vrbo before, and after this experience, probably never will again. I don’t know what they do with their cleaning fee, but it’s not cleaning.

Not Granny’s House
Mold on baseboards in master. Had to clean when I got there and before I left. Internet got cut off for over half of my stay and had no signal on my phone. Was told it was due to ice on satellite, then too many people connected, then it was maintenance from company. There are so many things in the house that do not get dusted at all!! A phone was provided temporarily but removed next day. Beautiful property, but 4 dogs bark constantly and can’t have a conversation. The owner is extremely rude!! Followed me to cemetery after checkout and watched me lay flowers on family graves. Space heaters provided for heat. Could not turn on ceiling fans due to being caked with dust to circulate heat. Must keep doors unlocked at all times so owner can access which lives upstairs. Only positive thing was the helper that cleaned for me some and actually tried to accommodate my family and I. Non smoking but at night all you smell is cigarettes from upstairs.
I loved the privacy that was offered. I never actually saw my hosts, but I did meet their adorable security team :) The host had to deal with my ever changing plans, but the two night stay worked out perfectly. Everything was clean and very usable. I loved the "yard" - a whole lot of quiet nature -
Thanks for a great stay!!

Wonderful property
The location was good it was near my in laws. Also the owner and her house keeper Debbie were super friendly. Debbie came down and introduced herself to us the first full day we were there and I met the owner the last day right before we left. The second we brought something to their attention that was wrong they got with the handy man to get a repair done. Also when the full bathroom toilet was leaking on us they offered the upstairs bathroom to us if it was needed .

Simple and clean, great stay.
This place definitely reminds me of my grandparents house. It’s cozy and off the beaten path. We had a lot of rain while we were there and because of the rain it had the “basement smell”, but there was dehumidifiers there and we helped empty them to help out the home. Very relaxing, sitting on the porch watching all the firefly’s at night in the tree line. The owners told us about Spring Fest so we decided to take the kids and had a really good time. If you are expecting a 4 bedroom resort look elsewhere. If you’re looking for something affordable and out of town give it a shot. Oh, yes the homeowner has dogs. Yes, they greet you every time you arrive. But that usually lasted about 2 minutes then we didn’t hear from them again.

Fishing Trip
I took a fishing trip to Kentucky Lake with my family and this was by far the best deal i could have hoped for. There is a great splash pad nearby for the kids and the boat ramps close enough for morning fishing. The one warning i will give is that the GPS will take you to narrow roads that can be difficult with wide bust resorts.

Can’t give a fare review
We couldn’t stay and to review this property would not be fare as the property suffered a flood due to a water malfunction. The floors were covered in about two inches of water. We could see that when the mess was cleaned up it would be a great place with lots of room but it was just bad timing for both us and property owner wish her well

Wonderful owners, very accommodating to wheelchair users
Large floor plan I was easily able to navigate in my power wheelchair. Although the main living area had some pet odor it was nothing a scented candle and some deodorants spray didn't help immediately. If you are highly allergic maybe use some caution, but overall very accommodating. Good kitchen not mentioned in the description. Wifi and a ton of sleeping areas. Thank you for the hospitality.
