Cozy Chipmunk in Tennessee

We liked this cabin (The Cozy Chipmunk) so much last year, that we decided to book it again for this year. We stayed the last week in March. We were here in April 2017 and the area had fewer tourists in April. This is most likely due to Spring Break trips. We chose the week so our adult son could come along because as a teacher, it was his spring break also.

I didn’t take many photos when we arrived this year because it was 1:30am and we were all tired and ready to settle in a get some sleep. The two shots below with the fancy towel folding were too cute to pass up.

You can see the photos from last year here.

The carpenter bees were still around though not nearly as noticeable and we didn’t hear them buzzing in the bathroom wall this trip. This year, there were tiny ants inside the cabin. They also listened to a couple of my suggestions and we now have hand towels in the bathrooms and there was a night light (though it seems the bulb is burnt out) in the main floor bathroom. Another nice addition this year were soaps in the bathrooms and kitchen. Not sure if these were leftovers from a previous renter or supplied by the rental company but they are a nice touch either way.

Don’t be afraid to let the owners know what you liked about their rental property and what you wish they would do to improve it. They won’t know if you don’t tell them, and they want repeat customers.

It is still a great cabin, great location and we plan to come back again in the spring of 2019 if all goes well. Continue reading

The Cozy Chipmunk Cabin

By the time you read this, we will be on our way back from another relaxing week away from everyday life. They say a picture’s worth a thousand words. The one below was taken on the way to our cabin on Friday night. It took us a little longer than expected to get out of the house and on the road, then we had to run a couple of errands on the way. So, it was after dark before we arrived at our home for the week. This is what we saw at the end of the road leading to our cabin, so we didn’t really know what to expect. Continue reading
