Caney Fork River Cottage. Sparta, TN. Fall Creek Falls, Kayaking, Fishing, Relax

Caney Fork River Cottage

Located within footsteps from famous Caney Fork River known as “The Kayak Capital”.

This beautiful cottage has 3 Bed 2 Bath & sleeps 7, possibly 8.

Large covered back deck overlooking the river & dock for amazing views and all day sits watching as the waters are filled with fun.

Bring your kayaks and fishing poles for some fun. The fishing is great and there is no better place to enjoy beautiful Tennessee while kayaking the Caney River. the dock offers good fishing too. You can bring your boat and tie off on the dock. The boat ramp is across the 4 lane Hwy directly across from the neighborhood.

The location is private yet very convenient only a few miles from local amenities.

Sparta is a fun town.
With more caves, waterfalls, and scenic overlooks per square mile than anywhere else in the United States, Sparta TN is a great adventurous destination. We have over 100 miles of paddleable water including world-class whitewater and serene flat water. We are minutes to multiple hiking trails which range from easy to strenuous.

We are bordered to the north by the Falling Water River, to the South lies the Caney Fork River which offers amazing kayaking and fishing. To the west we have over 40 miles of shoreline on Center Hill Lake which offers great boating, fishing and skiing. And to the east we are bordered by the Cumberland Plateau and Bridgestone Centennial Wilderness Area which offers excellent hunting and hiking opportunities. Sparta and White County are bisected by the Calfkiller River which runs through the center of town and offers yet another place to paddle and fish.

Several amazing State Parks within miles.

Wonderful Retreat From The Everyday Stress

My husband and I rented this beautiful house to serve as base camp as we traveled to look at property in the area. It worked out perfectly. It was so easy to get to and relax at. The back porch served as a perfect sanctuary for reading a bookbok orenjoying a glass of wine.

Beautiful, comfortable home on creek

This is a beautiful, comfortable home. We really enjoyed sitting on the back porch with the view of the creek. It is also very close to many beautiful waterfalls, and not too far for a day trip to Nashville!

Would Recommend

The purpose of our stay on this trip was to catch some of the beautiful state parks in the area. We visited Burgess Falls, Rock Island and Fall Creek. This property was a perfect central location since to do that. We didn't use the river on this trip, but there is a dock below and I wish I would've remembered my fishing pole. The house was very clean, and well maintained and beds comfortable. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to the area.

Super Cute House - GREAT VIEWS

We were in Sparta for a wedding event at River Cliff Event Venue. This rental is conveniently located to that (approx 8 min drive) which made our weekend much more enjoyable. The house is so cute, well appointed, and has all needed amenities. The view from the back porch is just PERFECT. Would highly recommend.

Really nice house and very close to Falls Creek St. Park, Burgess Falls, and Rock Island St. Park. The house is well appointed and very comfortable. The stairwell down to the dock had one completely broken step and another was rotten and looked to be ready to give way at any time. The dock is close to the highway bridge so the traffic can be loud at times, especially from the big 18-wheelers. Overall, it was great value for the money and we plan to stay there again.

Sparta Trip

The property was fantastic. We fished from the dock and enjoyed relaxing on the back porch looking out over the river. We based out of the River Cottage each day. We enjoyed Fall Creek Falls State Park, Rock Island State Park, and checked out Burgess Falls one day as well. This property was perfect for having short drives each day to see the waterfalls in all those locations. Sparta is very close by for restaurants as well. Our family had a great time here and hope to be back in the future.
