"Had a great 25th anniversary get away! This location is close to several waterfalls. We brought our kayaks, kayaked to the bottom of Burgess falls. Then drove to the park, to hike and enjoy the scenery of top of the falls. The room had plenty of towels and wash rags. Love that the room had starter paper towels, trash bags, and toiletries. The bed was comfortable and the AC was cold!! Check in was a breeze! The host was available via phone call for any questions."

Best Western Thunderbird Motel

8/10 Good

"Clean room, helpful staff, breakfast was very good. However it is a motel so the doors all open to the outside do security is more of a concern. Also, while there is an elevator, there is no trolley to use for your bags."

Legacy Inn - Cookeville

8/10 Good

"Room was fine, price was good/cheap. Had to pay a 40 dollar cash deposit. I said "what's that for?" desk rep said "cause people steal our towels" Got the invoice back next morning with no questions asked and no one checked the room.. so what's the point I guess? Other than that stay was fine."

Eagle's Nest Cottage on Center Hill Lake with private path to the water's edge.

10/10 Excellent

"We had a very nice, relaxing stay at this cottage by the Lake! It was very clean inside and the accommodations inside and out were great. The main bedroom bed is very comfortable and the deck outside with the fire pit is very nice and relaxing, minimal to no bugs, and the weather was perfect!!! Our only recommendation might be, due to its remote location, having some updated pots/pans in the kitchen for cooking there. And finally, just clearing the walkway down to the lake would be great, so it’s not such a covered path, and easier to navigate the steep hill. Otherwise, it was a very nice stay! Thankyou!!"
