Family-friendly vacation rentals in DeKalb County

Tuscany Inn is really lovely and well-thought out. If something isn't provided your hosts will find a way to get it to you. Communication was wonderful even before we got there. The rooms/cabins (we rented the combo) were absolutely perfect for us and our daughter. Esther's food is REALLY good. The hot tubs were clean. There were plenty of towels. I would stay here again in a heartbeat if only to hang with the hosts. The only negatives as at were: (1) the walking "trail" on the property wasn't mowed and the grass was so high I abandoned trying. We never took our dog there because it was just too overgrown. (2) Be aware that the owners have two dogs who are incredibly sweet to people but not necessarily to other animals. When we took our dog out, we'd round theirs up and put them inside - not a hardship but something to be aware of as the dogs would come to the fence of our cabin and one would growl at our dog. Just something to think about if you're bringing your own pet.

Very nice place to stay and lots of room! Very responsive when we had a small issue and was fixed within a hour!

What a lovely little farm house! The house was clean and nicely decorated. The grounds were beautiful. We were only there overnight and didn't get to explore much, but we loved what we saw. Nice side porch to sit on. The birdfeeder in the kitchen was a fan favorite!! Thank you for a place to lay our heads for the night!

Great condo with everything you need! Incredibly clean and well appointed. For my family, the proximity to the lake was key in our selection... made it easy to spend every day on the water. Lara was very easy to work with and I would definitely return to this condo in the future!

Wonderful stay w family for Grandson's Graduation was Perfect, Beautiful view house was Great easy instructions easy checking out very private, Center Hill Lake is gorgeous lake two town East & West of you w pretty much anything You need Ashley I wonderful Host, she worked with Me when I messed up on the dates very Thankful for that

This place was perfect for a leadership retreat. It offered great accommodations in a peaceful setting. This was our second time to stay here and we were not disappointed. FYI…we drove 12 minutes to Chestnut Oaks Farm Table & Restaurant for a great meal one night.

The house was very cozy and peaceful with beautiful surroundings. Quick drive to downtown Cookeville. We wish we could have stayed longer. Anna was a great host.

We really enjoyed this place. We stayed at one of the smaller houses in the past. The extra room, King bed and a comfy sofa were great. Enjoyed breakfast on the screened porch. Great to get away from the city.

If your looking for a place to unwind from life, this home is where you need to stay! It has all the amenities that you will need and is close to several attractions when you want to play! Being in the area to visit with family it met all our expectations! But the best feature is the covered porch with a swing - you really won’t want to leave!

We stayed for 4 months during the winter and really enjoyed our time at the cottage. We were looking for a peaceful & quiet getaway in nature and that’s exactly what we got. It was so comfy and relaxing. We loved having our morning coffee in the sunroom over looking the lake. Kitchen is well equipped, wifi was super fast, lots of TV channels. There’s no cell service, but with the fast wifi you didn’t really need it. We were sad to leave! Would definitely come back, and absolutely recommend Melissa’s place for anyone who wants a peaceful escape.

The cottage is quite literally a little slice of heaven!! We really did not want to leave. It is cute, peaceful and homey! We slept so well with a really comfortable king size bed & great pillows and the silence….just priceless!! This is the perfect spot for that out in the country feel yet only a short drive into the heart of Cookeville. Hosts Debi & Ralph are such special and wonderful people and we honestly feel so lucky to have met them and know they will be friends for life!!! They are so responsive and respectful words cannot describe the level of caring they put into their labor of love!! The place is so enchanting & even better in person than in pictures!!

Very secluded, but I felt very safe being on the back side of their property. Dan and his wife both showed me out to the cabin which was situated right in the middle of the most beautiful area of wilderness! I was making a last minute stop, driving with my dog from Houston up to New York and I didn't want my dog to have to deal with a hotel room. This was the perfect solution. Quiet and comfy. It is very dark, so if you plan on arriving after sundown be sure to bring a flashlight! They do have some string lights but I had to use to my phone to navigate the bathroom. Great find!

The home is even better than the pictures . Loved the comfortable queen bed I slept in , the linens were so soft and comfortable. So convenient to the cute little downtown area and the walk there is delightful , looking at all the historic homes

What a wonderful place to spend time with family! The kitchen and dining room and especially the porch made for wonderful gathering places. Bill was responsive when I had any questions. The housekeeper and her husband were very welcoming and kind! The yard is beautiful. We enjoyed walking the property and playing bocce ball. We selected this property because it was near River Pointe Ranch where my daughter was getting married. It was the perfect place for the whole family to stay.

It was a very nice, peaceful, and quiet neighborhood. The host was very accomodating. The house was what I had expected to be and more. Located near restaurants and shopping areas. Look forward to staying there again, if in the area.

We had a fantastic stay and highly recommend this stay! Perfect location, clean, beautiful, and we were comfortable!

This was the second time I rented a cabin from Thomas and we love going here. Will be back soon and plan to make this a yearly trip 😊 Thanks Donnie

We love this little house. So quaint. Always clean and well stocked for all your needs. Randall is always helpful and full of information for the area. Great stay.

Sara was friendly and responsive throughout the process. She responded to all messages quickly, and answered any questions I had. The house was comfortable and clean, we had everything that we needed for our short trip.

Very responsive! Flexible with our time. House was very cute and on a beautiful lot. Enjoyed our stay.

We had a wonderful stay in the heart of Cookeville! The loft was spotless, thoughtfully furnished, and had everything we needed to feel right at home. The location truly couldn't be better— just a short walk to all the must-visit spots in town. Whether it was grabbing icecream, browsing local shops, or enjoying dinner downtown, everything was just steps away. We felt relaxed and welcomed from the moment we arrived. We’ll definitely be staying here again the next time we’re in town!

Nice home in a nice neighborhood. Very convenient to MTSU. Great communication from Bill, the host. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you for sharing your home!!
