EVENTS
As stated in our house rules, we are not okay with loud noise outdoors in the evenings/over night. If you plan to throw a party, please do not book. This home feels VERY private, but noise carries. There will be a $500 fine for any noise complaints that we receive from neighbors.**

The Tennessee Container Cabin is our second vacation rental home adventure and we love being Airbnb Superhosts! Please check out our 70+ reviews on our other home by visiting our profile.
Guests will not have interaction with the hosts. However, we are available whenever you need us!
Walk out of our door and enjoy light hiking trails in the neighborhood or hop in the car to do more difficult hikes within 15 min!

Think cute mountain town meets sophisticated artist's retreat. The liberal arts college in town, University of the South provides incredible artisan culture that can be felt throughout the town.

Our neighborhood is called 'Deep Woods' for a reason. Secluded and quiet, it's almost impossible not to relax when you arrive!
Guests will access the property using smart locks.
PRIVACY & TOGETHERNESS: Our home is ideal for multiple families looking for a space to be together while still having privacy when needed.

Adorable!
This property is so awesome! Not only is it beautiful and aesthetically pleasing, it was equipped with everything we could possibly need. Rachel and Steph really thought of everything, and were so helpful and communicative. Spent the weekend here with friends, cooked tasty meals, enjoyed the beautiful view of trees from our bedroom, relaxed in the sauna, hot tub and pool. The only complaint I have is that we didn’t book a longer stay. 🙂 Definitely will be rebooking this home in the future.
