Perfect Get Away Location
If I could give a score of 10 i would. The hosts have thought of absolutely everything and cataloged in the welcome book. Perfectly clean and comfortable. Great central location to many of the waterfalls and other attractions. Easy to plan a day and return to cook dinner. Tranquil and Beautiful view of the water and lots of birds to view and listen to their songs. Occasionally you hear cows across the river. Hosts are very nice but non intrusive however very responsive. I could not recommend this enough or say enpugh good things.

Stay in Country Cabin
We loved our stay, the serenity and quiet trail. Looking over the bluff at Wrights Bend in Center Hill Lake was very peaceful. The cabin was decorated and designed in an enjoyable manner. Curt was helpful and kind anytime we had a concern or question!

Peaceful getaway
My husband and I loved our stay at Bear Bluff Retreat. The views were beautiful and the place was so perfect place for a peaceful getaway before the start of the holiday season!
Beautiful view of the river. My husband and I stayed 2 nights in October. We hiked at the State Parks in the area. Very clean, nice cabin, I highly recommend. Safe and quiet. Would love to return in the future.

Gorgeous View & Great Hosts
We wanted to check out TN’s beautiful state parks & we’re looking for some place relaxing, cozy, & with beautiful views.
This was it! The location has an amazing view off the balcony, isn’t far from multiple state parks for a fun DIY waterfall tour & was an easy drive to Nashville’s airport.
We stayed in cabin 3 - Country Cabin. It was so clean & cute! The bed was comfortable, water pressure was great in the shower, & even though there are 3 cabins in a row, it still felt like our own little retreat.
Curt & JoAnn are so welcoming & fun to talk to if you get the chance. It’s always nice staying at a VRBO where you know the hosts are actually happy to be doing it.
We hope to visit again!

Perfect spot!
Curt & JoAnn's property is perfect! The view of the river is stunning, the property is kept up so nicely, and it's in a great location to get to the state parks. Curt & JoAnn also live on the property so if you need anything, they are very responsive! If you're looking for a peaceful spot, this is it. I enjoyed coffee and the sunrise every morning on the deck overlooking the river. We will be back!

Cute cabin!
The cabin was nice for a quick weekend stay. We didn’t realize we would be right next to two other cabins. We have small children and probably wouldn’t have stayed here if we had known. It was very quiet and nice for just a couple however. It was very clean. The A/C is in the living room so the room did get hot at times. It was overall a good stay.

Cozy and Relaxing
This was a comfortable, well kept retreat for two. Everything was new with every detail needed. Only sounds we heard were the birds chirping. We were up on a bluff surrounded by trees so it didn't get overly hot. We could sit on the deck or near the fire pit. If you're not familiar with the roads, it's best to arrive while it's still light out. The hosts were gracious, friendly and very accommodating.
