We are atop the Cumberland Plateau, and our mountain home overlooks a beautiful bluff area. With an expansive view from the dining and living rooms, as well as the primary suite, it's easy to forget the world below and focus on family, relaxation, and time away from it all.

Guests can access all the main parts of the house. This includes the kitchen and its many amenities, including a refrigerator and freezer, the dining island that seats 6 to 8 people, the dining area that seats 6 to 8, a living room that comfortably seats the same, three lockable bedrooms, two baths, and the laundry facilities. For those working while traveling, the foyer has a built-in desk so you can still be part of the action and not miss a beat. The kitchen island has plenty of space for computers and charging as well.

Netflix is available for TV services/apps. The living room TV is a casting television and will work with your device and app once you download the Vizio app.

Plus: We have an observation deck where you can see nature from a higher vantage point, watch the stars at night, or just sit back on the swing and enjoy the surrounding view of mountains and trees.

We are on a nearby property, so we are available during your stay at the mountain lodge.

The South Cumberland Bluff House is in a quiet neighborhood with only one neighboring house. It's serene and unique. The home is partially underground, made of area stone on the exterior, with several rooms having local barn wood on the interior. Our family has painstakingly renovated this house and is so happy to share it with others to enjoy.

Additional Guests Info: We charge $10 per person per day for each additional guest beyond the initial two.

There is plenty of parking in the driveway. We are away from the hustle and bustle of city life, but there are bike, hiking, and walking trails close by.

The TV in the living room is a "casting television." This means you can share the TV screen using your phone or device after downloading the app. Netflix and other apps are available on the Smart TV, too.

**NOTE: We will abide by our cancellation policy and will not reduce booked nights for a refund, nor will we accept alterations except for additional nights or additional guests. Dates WILL NOT be altered for future stays. Refunds will subtract card processing fees. Thank you for understanding.
We like to check in all our guests personally. This allows for any questions to be answered and to provide all the information we can about the lodge. Please text us your ETA and the time you arrive at the interstate exit. We will meet you at the property for check-in. (Remember, we are on CENTRAL Time.) If other accommodations are needed, you will need to make those known before arrival, as well.

We maintain a strict no pet and no smoking policy. Please respect the property by following these rules.

The living room television has a Roku device for easy access to Netflix or other channels you may have access to. We provide Netflix, Hulu, and ESPN+ free of charge. That TV is also "cast" capable and may be used with your smartphone for any subscription, cast-enabled channels you like to watch.

We want you to feel at home. Please find extra pillows, blankets, throws, games, and other items inside the coffee table chest and the closets in your bedroom for your use.

***Remove makeup and staining elements prior to laying in beds or on any linen or cloth surfaces! Stains from make-up, food, drinks, blood or other kinds on linens and towels will result in charge of $50 for stained linen (sheets, pillows, etc) and $10 per stained towel, $8 for hand towel or washcloth.***

If you stain something with blood, please soak towel or linen in COLD water immediately. If something is stained, please let us know so we can help get it washed and avoid permanent staining. If you hide the stained items or fail to tell us, it will result in immediate charges against your deposit. Otherwise, we will work with you to get the stains out.

Other items that are broken will result in a damage charge. You are responsible for broken plates and other dishes, glasses, stemware, etc. and you will be responsible to pay for them through the security deposit for broken and missing items. This applies to household appliances, furniture, and other home decor and accessories.

If you break something, please do not hide it or not tell us. By informing us of lost or broken dishes or items, you are being a good guest and can still receive a positive review.

The pantry contains extra paper towels, disposable drinking cups, and paper plates for your convenience.

The pantry is ready to use and has the microwave on a lower shelf. The freezer is good to store anything may want.

The fireplace in the living room is gas and can be turned on to suit your climate needs. Each bedroom is equipped with an AC unit (during the warmer seasons) and a heater (cooler seasons) for you to use as needed. DO NOT move AC/Heating units.

Both bathrooms have extra towels in the linen closets and other supplies in the same place or under the sink. We are on septic, so please do not flush personal hygiene items.

The door leading to the "basement" at the end of the hall is off-limits.

Please see house rules on this site and at the property. You must agree to these rules prior to booking this property.

THAT VIEW!!!

Everything went smoothly with check-in. The place is stunning! Inside, outside, the view, the deck views! The furniture was very comfortable. They know people like to bring their own devices to connect to the TVs. They have accessible HDMI ports and power nearby. Check out was simple as can be, none of the extra work as you are packing like taking out the trash or stripping the beds. As a recent convert to The Caverns, I will be returning and always checking if this spot is available!

A beautiful place to stay after a hard day’s work

Co-hosts were friendly and polite. The house was a clean and comfortable. View was spectacular, especially from the rooftop deck. I would recommend this property to family and friends. The big backyard was private, literally at the end of the road.Did I mention the view… Seeing the photos on line from the vantage point of Bluff House overlooking over the valley, is what drove my decision to stay there. It was better in real life. Just what my weary soul needed.

We spent a long weekend at the Bluff House in April. Had a great time. Great views and a short drive to the Caverns along beautiful country roads.Found some fantastic trails to hike and some very good restaurants in the surrounding communities. The communication with Ben and Tori was fantastic and we will definitely be back.

Stunning view for a quiet weekend getaway.

My brother and I purchased our mom tickets to a Christmas concert in the Caverns and found this gem when planning the trip. The Caverns were only a quick 15 minute drive so it seemed like a perfect fit. We flew into Knoxville and enjoyed the scenic 2.5 hour drive down to Pelham and were ecstatic once we arrived. The hosts met us at the property to explain everything at check-in and couldn't have been more hospitable. We arrived around 9pm and were blown away that you could see EVERY star in the sky. The house was cozy and quant and perfect for what we needed. In the morning we woke to an absolutely breathtaking view. I will certainly book this property again for another concert and hopefully be able to make it for when the leaves change. This property is a 10/10 in my eyes!

Quiet and Magestic

My friends and I loved this property. We were in Tennessee for my birthday and for a few shows at the Caverns. It was lovely to have a quiet and beautiful place to rest and relax between activities each day. We took advantage of the fire pit as well enjoying the evenings by the fire. The sunsets and sunrises were beautiful.

Bluff House get-away

Our two night stay at Bluff House was just wonderful; we all enjoyed it so much. Tori met us at check-in and gave us the tour and explained how everything worked. The house was very clean, and unlike some rentals I've stayed at, very comfortably furnished. The bluff view was spectacular, particularly from the rooftop deck, and we enjoyed the firepit. All in all, our stay at Bluff House exceeded our expectations and we plan on coming back next fall!

Bluff House Magic

We were badly in need of a four-night getaway, and the Bluff House was exactly made to order! This was our second stay at this property, and once again we were dazzled by the incredible view, and by the privacy. Saw several deer multiple times, and had a visit by a pileated woodpecker. This place is so perfect in every way, and hosts couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful! Highly recommend!

The Bluff House checked all of the boxes for us! Amazing view, fantastic appointments, everything we could possibly have wanted to have available. The privacy, the view, the huge upper deck, and the immaculate details of the home itself. Of all of the VRBO and rental properties we've stayed at, this was the finest for our needs. Hated to leave, and immediately scheduled a return trip for this fall~! Highly recommend! The owner met us at the property, gave us the home's (amazing!) history, and made us feel right at home immediately. Great people, with a great rental property! Can't wait to go back in October!

Stop looking and book now!

I almost hate to write this review because i don't wan the place to be booked if i wan to book it. The place is perfect. The view is amazing, the hosts have been the best i've ever had. 2 picnic tables outside where we enjoyed several meals make it a great place to hang out. On top of the mountain, the wind is breezy so even if its warm out it helps a ton. It is very well stocked but if you plan to cook, bring your favorite seasonings and condiments. There are a good bit there, but bring some of your own. No condiments, Its close enough to supplies stores if you forget.something. There is a microwave, grill, oven and even a crock pot! Plan to cook here, its worth it! Plenty of plates and utensils. I brought my own grill brush. There may have been one, but i didn't see it. We were there for a weekend caverns event and hope to rent it for every event. It is a 20 minute drive to the caverns and 10-15 for supplies. All the beds were comfy and nice older looking furniture and decor made it comfy to hang out in. Even the bunk beds were comfy. My group was all 30+ and the only complaint we had was the water pressure... That is to be expected way up on a mountain! Book it now! Ill definitely say here anytime we are anywhere near the area.

Our stay was wonderful! Fun hearing the history of the house with a welcome tour from Tori. Everything was very clean and well equiped. The view from the living room and rooftop deck was simply breathtaking! We enjoyed playing cornhole under the lights with the mountains as a wonderful backdrop. Coming back to super comfortable beds after a long day of riding razors, was the icing on the cake. Ben was very prompt and courteous with his communication, as well!

The house definitely had some charm! The view is quite spectacular! It was just my husband and I but honestly another couple and 6 kids could comfortably sleep. Both bathrooms had claw tubs with a showerhead. My husband is very tall so it felt awkward to him, but both bathrooms had plenty of towels for the 2 of us. There is a large glass kitchen table that fit 6 perfectly as well as a seating nook in the kitchen that could seat 4or 5. We really enjoyed the many options for hiking that are really close to the house Our favorite was Foster Falls. We really had no problems or complaints. The owner Tori met us at the house to check us i. and answer questions. The only thing I would point out to a larger family staying is to be aware there are not a lot kitchen accessories if you like to bake or cook large family meals. Very basic selection for cooking but adequate if you were not planning to cook for a group! We will definitely like to come back!
