NEW FOR 2026, BUILT FOR COUPLES

Our Cozy Spruce Cabin is a new 2026 build, designed with couples in mind. The exterior is stained a rich burgundy that lets the natural grain of the wood come through. Inside, Nordic spruce walls and a warm, plush layout: a deep chaise lounger for two, two beanbag chairs facing floor-to-ceiling windows, and Edison string lights inside and along the walkway. Compact in footprint, but the large covered deck and wall of windows keep it open and bright.

THE SPACE

At 255 square feet, the Cozy Spruce Cabin is compact and cozy. A new queen memory-foam mattress, a plush 5.5-foot chaise lounger that seats two adults or sleeps a child, and two beanbag chairs facing floor-to-ceiling windows. The kitchenette has a mini-fridge, microwave, and an in-unit Keurig with coffee pods. The full bathroom has a 3-by-5-foot walk-in shower and a sink. Dishes, pots, pans, and grilling utensils are stocked in the cabin; bring dirty items to the bathhouse cabinet in the provided bin and swap in clean ones while you`re there. We wash everything for you. Smart TV for downtime.

Step outside onto your 205-square-foot covered deck. The cabin sits in an open area on a quieter side of the property, looking out over a newly planted quarter-acre wildflower garden and into mature pines and hardwoods. Planted in 2026; the plants are still young and will fill in through 2027. A tall Eastern Hemlock stands about 50 feet off the deck. The deck faces west: shaded in the morning, lit through the afternoon and evening, with sunset views through the trees.

The deck has a round propane fire table (flames rise through glass rocks, surrounded by a flat tabletop), an L-shaped outdoor couch with side table, and a two-person dining table. Edison string lights run inside the cabin and across the deck. Just down the steps, your own propane grill at ground level.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Climate Control: The Cozy Spruce Cabin has a large mini-split heating and cooling system that maintains home-like temperatures year-round. Comfortable in any season.

Woodland Setting: Our cabin sits in the woods, so occasional insect visitors are part of the experience. You may encounter ladybugs, beetles, the occasional spider, and various flying insects inside. Ants can also find their way in if food or crumbs are left out, so keeping surfaces clean goes a long way. We use natural pest treatments and maintain regular cleaning, but complete bug-free living isn`t possible in a forest setting. If you need a fully sealed indoor environment, our Cozy Spruce Cabin may not be the right fit.

THE PROPERTY

Explore our 18 acres of naturally maintained woods with hiking trails, a peaceful pond (say hello to our friendly Muscovy ducks!), two creeks, and quiet spots perfect for reading, photography, painting, meditation, writing your next hit song, or simply relaxing. A creekside meadow surrounded by tall grasses, thousands of ferns, and delicate Lady Slippers makes a great spot for a picnic or some quiet time. You`ll likely see whitetail deer and wild turkeys wandering through, especially at sunrise and sunset.

Our quirky flock of ducks and chickens roam the property freely, keeping mosquitoes and ticks naturally low. Seriously, it`s amazing how few mosquitoes you`ll encounter, considering we`re in the Tennessee woods!

The trade-off is some periodic noise from our hens and roosters. We keep the chickens contained in the Coop until 8:00 AM. After 8:00 AM, you will hear periodic crowing, and the hens may perform their `egg song` after laying an egg, because they are very proud when they do!

They`re friendly, harmless, and always appreciate leftover snacks. The chickens and ducks may hang out around your unit. Consider them your personal mosquito and bug extermination crew.

OUR FRIENDLY BORDER COLLIES: Four Border Collies live on the property with us. They stay in our residence or their secure kennel except for supervised bathroom breaks and exercise. They never enter guest units. You may occasionally see them outside under our supervision. They are 100% non-aggressive but may enthusiastically run up to you expecting pets and attention.

GOOD TO KNOW

We (your hosts) live on the property but maintain your privacy. You`ll rarely see us unless you need something, but we`re always available for quick help or local recommendations.

The Cozy Spruce Cabin at The Getaway on Ranger Creek is located in a beautiful, secluded, and quiet remote area, and is one of the most centrally-located accommodations to many State Parks, hiking areas, waterfalls, The Caverns, and Fast Farms MotorX. However, the closest grocery store is an 8-minute drive, the closest restaurant is a 10-minute drive, and the closest gas station/convenience store is a 7-minute drive.

This isn`t a luxury resort; it`s a genuine nature experience. If you want perfectly manicured grounds, room service, and zero wildlife encounters, this isn`t your place. But if you`d rather fall asleep to crickets and wake up to birdsong, welcome home.

A few things about rural life on the Plateau: you may hear distant gunshots during hunting season or when neighbors are target shooting. Coyotes live in the area and you`ll likely hear them at night; they avoid humans and are not a safety concern. Occasionally a neighbor`s dog may wander through; we recommend not approaching unfamiliar dogs. The nearest hospital is approximately 35 minutes away.

Your privacy matters to us, as does the security of our property and animals. We have motion-activated security cameras. No camera views the interior of any unit or bathhouse, or any deck or fire pit. Coverage: driveway, parking, walkways, yard, pond dam, chicken coop, surrounding woods, and a bathhouse video doorbell. Only cameras more than 50 ft from any unit record audio.
