Welcome to Wolf River Retreat – Your Peaceful Escape in the Heart of Nature

Tucked away in the scenic woods of Byrdstown, Tennessee, Wolf River Retreat offers the perfect getaway for families, couples, or friends seeking tranquility, privacy, and outdoor adventure. Nestled alongside the serene Wolf River and surrounded by lush greenery, this spacious four-bedroom cabin comfortably accommodates up to 8 adults, making it ideal for both family vacations and group getaways.

Start your mornings with a hot cup of coffee on the large, covered deck enjoying the soothing sounds of the river. Spend your days enjoying the outdoors — the expansive lot includes a fire pit for evening s’mores and storytelling, as well as a single frisbee golf station for a bit of fun. The circular driveway and extra boat/trailer parking make it easy to bring along your watercraft or outdoor gear.

Inside, the cabin is warm, inviting, and thoughtfully decorated. High ceilings in the family room, large windows, and ant fill the space with natural light, while cozy furnishings create the perfect spot to curl up with a book, watch a movie, or play games with loved ones. Each of the four bedrooms is designed for comfort and relaxation, giving everyone a cozy space to unwind.

The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals during your stay, whether it’s a hearty breakfast before a day at the lake or burgers on the park-style grill.

Sunset Marina is only 10 miles away, and Eagle Cove Marina is 17 miles, both offering boat rentals and lake access. Downtown Byrdstown is also just 8–10 miles away for any essentials or local charm.

Great place to stay

Beautiful property. Plenty of parking for vehicles or boat trailers. Plenty of seating on the deck and by the fire pit. The beds were comfortable. Everyone who went on the trip loved the property and we would definitely stay there again. It’s only about 20 minutes from Sunset marina, but I would recommend renting dockage at the marina If you are bringing a boat. The road to and from the marina is pretty curvy.

Needed down time & exploring the area

Enjoyed the home and property. Kayaked a few time on river, fun while water was up! Dale Hollow Lake is a family favorite, spent most afternoons there. Unfortunately there for fire at Sunset Marina. People at marina were great and we were still able to rent pontoons. Good times!

Awesome cabin

This was an amazing cabin with a beautiful backyard! There is a river running through the backyard, my kids had the best time fishing and kayaking! The cabin has everything you need plus a lot of extras! It was very clean and you can tell the owners take great pride in their home and want to provide a great experience for their guests. We will definitely be coming back!

Awesome location

River made the entire stay worthwhile! The heavy rains the night we got there really got the river going which made it nice to float around on tubes(which we thoughtfully provided) And made for small rapids that the kids loved, along with the kayaks. However the rains brought a lot of humidity and bugs! Big bugs 🤪 bring the spray! The black stone was also great

Memorable Moments

It was a long weekend Friday -Mon a lot of rain prior to arriving and the river was high and a little rough, grandson’s went kayaking anyway and one of the kayak got away and went down river and grandson and girlfriend went to get it after a couple of hours of being gone, I elected to call had 911 nicest people to have around in an emergency. All ended well but a little more excitement than I was looking for on our first evening. The house was very nice and loved the s’mores display for us. The family spent Saturday riding the rapids over and over having a great time until rain came back. That night we made s’mores around the fire. We spent Sunday playing games due to the rain and still had a wonderful time! Great place and Jennifer is wonderful and very helpful.

The BEST time you'll have right on the beautiful river!

This place has everything a family or a bunch of friends could want to unwind! Peaceful porch vibes, chill in a kayak/tube on the river, hunt for cool rocks, relax by the fire and explore the 5 acres - there's so much room for activities! There's plenty of space in the house with a fully stocked kitchen and a dining room table that makes you feel at home. The wifi is fantastic and the smart tv was also a fun blessing on the rainy nights! Traveler's tip - always bring some teenagers with you to haul all your groceries and gear up the steps! We will definitely be back soon!
