Ms.Nina was a very good hostess. The Cabin she gave us was on short notice and for longer than we expected. She helped us out as we were moving here from Florida and House Hunting. Her Dogs were great and were friendly to ours. It was private and peaceful and we will recommend Rivendell to anybody who asks. The cabin... More

The owner came in when we left to bring "sheets", there were several sets of Sheets available and this was not necessary at all. She came in unannounced when we left to go gem mining, letting out our beautiful Maltese. He was in the woods for hours on end alone and scared. In addition the owner left the DOOR open... More

The homemade, fresh blackberry jam Nina left on our porch one... More

Our cabin was spacious, quiet, and serene. Everything was there other than food (except cookie mix and hat chocolate). Nina scripps our hostess checked in on us to make sure all was well.

The cabins are spacious, homey and clean. Beautiful setting on the side of a mountain. Very gracious hostess, knowledgeable about the area. We especially enjoyed sitting in the hot tub in a light rain enjoying the serene setting and spectacular views. Our family is already planning this to be an annual three generation girls get away.

Our family loved staying in the Rivendell cabins the last week of September into October. The autumn views & the mountain sun's rising & setting there are a spectacular sight to behold. There are regional waterfalls galore to explore & quaint shopping & cafes in the towns of Franklin & Highlands. Our family stayed in the Rivendell & Evenstar cabins.... More
