About this property

Cypress Cove - Cozy home just off Hiwassee River in Historic Charleston TN

So much to do; so little time!
As we enter our fourth year of hosting we welcome you to come spend some time at Cypress Cove. We work hard to offer a clean, comfortable, well maintained home for your family to enjoy. The house was remodeled to better suit a Vrbo clientele and all of our travelers have found it clean and charming.
Centrally located to multiple attractions. Dollywood, Smokey Mountains, Ocoee River Rafting, Lee University, Ramble Creek and Howe Farm wedding venues. Tri-State Exhibition center as well as close by Chattanooga attractions.
2 bedrooms with King beds, 3rd bedroom with two double beds, fully equipped kitchen, screen deck, fire pit, Cypress Grove joins the property. Walking distance to the Hiwassee River and Charleston city park with nice playground, covered pavilion and walking trails. Charleston Heritage Center, with in depth exhibits pertaining to the Trail of Tears and the Civil War, is also within walking distance. All new bed and bath linens furnished. There are a couple streets nearby that cross the train tracks and the train does blow a horn before crossing. How often this happens varies greatly. We have purchase a couple of white noise machines for the King bedrooms. If you are a light sleeper and that horn is bothersome, hopefully those will make your night more peaceful. Nice little community.

Wedding Weekend Getaway

My family and I were in for a wedding, and this place was a perfect retreat for us to get away between events to relax, reset and unwind before we went back to the events of the weekend. The location did have its quirks but I and my wife felt it is what gave it all the more charm. Definitely will want to book with them again and actually enjoy it for a relaxing mountain getaway.

Cozy and comfortable stay

Our stay at this location was overall great. We were greeted with water bottles and snacks. Kitchen is stocked with lots of plates, utensils and cook ware. Lot's of space, big rooms and comfortable beds/couch. There is a cute playground down the street that we frequently visited for our son and close to gas stations and convenient stores (piggly wiggly, dollar general). The only "negative" thing I would say is that this location is very close to the Charleston train depot. My son did love watching them go by from the living room window each time but unfortunately, the trains did run all night the whole week we were there, so you will very much hear the horns blaring multiple times in the middle of the night. If you're a deep sleeper, this is no issue. The hosts Karen and John were very responsive and accommodating to our needs. I would absolutely recommend staying here...if you don't mind the trains :)

Very cute house

The home was perfect. Beautiful, clean hardwood floors, nice furniture, bedrooms were nice and clean. Nice backyard and patio. Host was very nice and answered my questions. TV was great and plenty of channels and apps to watch. Great kitchen we cooked breakfast daily. The cost was great, the little town was cute. Next to the river perfect for fishing and picnics. Tons of blankets provided which we needed bc it was a bit chilly at night but we did not want to run the heat too much, it works very well. Plenty of towels and snacks were provided at check in. *Access by wheelchair is a bit difficult to maneuver. There is a sunken 3rd bedroom and primary bath which i was unable to get into but i did not need it. • There are trains coming into the depot right across the street almost every hr even thru the night. We did get used to it after the 2nd night and we also used a sound machine app to drown it out.

Great for families!

We enjoyed our stay Cypress Cove! Our family loved being walking distance from the park and outdoor basketball court. It was too cold to enjoy the backyard and firepit, but it's a nice feature along with the cypress grove that joins the property. The home was clean and cozy. The kitchen was well equiped. Karen, the host, was very attentive. We definitely recommend this property!

So peaceful!

My family and I were in town for a wedding and we are so grateful to have found this home. The neighborhood is peaceful and full of charm. The home was clean and accommodating and so homey! We especially loved the screened in porch and fire pit out back. Morning coffee followed by evening marshmallows with the woods as your backdrop Was heavenly. 😊 thank you for your hospitality!

We liked it so much, we came back!

We love this place! This was our second time to stay in this house, and we liked it just as much as the first time. The kitchen is well stocked with all the dishes we needed, and the appliances are up-to-date - the icemaker even works (many in vacation rentals don't!). The bedding is super comfortable. We also love the fire pit out back and enjoyed roasting marshmallows for smores. The grill works great too. We used both both times we were there. We also enjoy the park within walking distance (complete with several basketball goals which my kids love) and had a picnic at the boat ramp right by the beautiful Hiwassee. We also enjoyed the beautiful historic downtown. We'll be back! Highly recommended.

not good for elderly/handicapped

across street from railroad. trains night and day. Odd lay out for house. only access from house to back screened porch is through the master bedroom. The mb had a HUGE step down into bathroom. Hall bath grout etc very dirty looking, cobwebs in corner under shower curtain. Overall, we were never so glad to leave a rental property. Friends even left early rather than stay full time.

Happy campers

Our family of 7 stayed here for a church conference that was held in Cleveland. Great property, clean, and comfy beds. There is an active railway close by that can be heard, but none of the family had any issues with it disturbing our rest. We will try to book again if we have reason to be in the area. Great rental!

Perfect accommodations

We stayed in Charleston to visit with family who live in Cleveland. We spent most of our days at the house, and it was absolutely perfect in every way. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, and all the appliances worked great, including the outdoor grill. There was even a gallon tea pitcher which we needed for our crew (including visiting family - our daughter, her husband, and our granddaughter). The ice maker actually worked (which I've found to be a rarety in rentals!). There were plenty of clean, high quality towels and even dish clothes (which I have also found lacking in some rentals). We loved the location. We did hear the train frequently which we absolutely loved. It wasn't loud and annoying but added to the historic charm of the neighborhood. We spent the evenings walking to the park where out children enjoyed the playground and the basketball courts (a definitely plus for my basketball-loving crew). The grocery store and Dollar General were really close too (but not too close). My son-in-law enjoyed building a fire in the firepit and sitting outdoors. I loved sitting on the comfortable chair on the screened in back porch in early morning - right by the swamp with those beautiful cypress trees. We also enjoyed many Charades games - I think that became our favorite game. Thanks for providing this unforgettable, comfortable place to stay!

About the host

Host profile image
John and I welcome you to Cypress Cove. We have owned this home for many years and decided 3 years ago to list it as a vacation home rather than rental property. We updated and furnished it adding new bedding, linens, kitchen needs etc as well as a new HVAC unit. John is a lifelong resident of the Charleston area (and I have been here 40+ years as well) and we love the area and all it has to offer so it seemed a perfect fit to list this house with VRBO so you can enjoy the beauty, majesty , and history of our little town as well. We have been members of VRBO on the traveler side for many years and have always found it to be a great way to vacation and spend time with family. We hope you enjoy your stay at Cypress Cove.
