We discovered Magnolia Cottage in our search for a quiet, country cottage while visiting the big city of Nashville, and what a peaceful and relaxing getaway! This cottage was, and I am sure this is true of all three cottages at Rockhaven, immaculate, beautifully decorated, and truly a storybook cottage in a quiet, country setting! Our hosts, Nate and Rhonda (and Skippy) made our stay even more special, adding so many personal touches to the cottage and the grounds. We would highly recommend Rockhaven Cottages to anyone and are looking forward to a return visit in the fall! We are thankful to have found this beautiful retreat, close to so many things, yet you have the peace and solitude of the country.
Thanks, Nate and Rhonda!

The large ornate white painted 'entry gate' through which you pass each day reads overhead 'Rockhaven' however should have included an extra 'e' as it is a sweet 'slice' of heaven. Serene ponds and quaint gardens areas entice you while traveling up the entry drive through Rockhaven's gracious setting. The pasture horses and ponds Canadian geese make you want to stop and visit with them even before you can get to your selected cottage. We rested in the 'Calico' cabin while our traveling companions stayed in the 'Magnolia' cabin where we met for meals and conversation. Each cabin (1 bedroom) has it's own unique appeal and comfort. There we were able to feel more 'at home' than staying in traditional hotel rooms nearer Nashville. A bit further out, Rockhaven is more centrally located between Nashville and Lebanon, a really great 'antiquing' venue town. Shopping and numerous chain restaurants are available at the large mall (exit 226) at the Mt. Juliet (I-40) interchange just 5 minutes from the cabins. From there it is a brief jaunt west to downtown Nashville activities. The renovated 'Opryland' complex is less than 10 minutes up the Briley Parkway north from I-40.
The cleanliness and attention to detail at Rockhaven is excellent, and the large property is very well maintained. I only wish I could have kept my yard looking so good with the falling of the leaves. We 'ached' for more time to relax at and enjoy Rockhaven but had only 3 days stay to see all the sites of Nashville, so busy to see the many activities of 'Music' city and surrounding areas on the more personal type bus tour we secured. Next visit to Nashville & Rockhaven, we will make our stay longer so that we can better enjoy Magnolia's front porch swing and Calico's patio. Our hosting family, along with 'sweetie' the dog will remain precious in our memories. We highly recommend Rockh(e)aven for your 'slice' of vacation accommodations.

Recommended for: adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, sight seeing, romantic getaway

The Perfect Getaway!!

I made a phone call to Rhonda about the Magnolia Cottage, she could not have been any sweeter, she took time to share all about their cottages with me. When we arrived her words rang true. The property was just beautiful and exactly like the website showed. The cottage itself was immaculate, warm, cozy and smelled delicious. I just had to sit for a minute and take it all in, because this place was well worth the reasonable amount of money they charge to stay. There is no comparison, and I would have chosen this over a stay at an upscale, high-end hotel, any day. We felt safe on the farm and all the nature surrounding the grounds was awesome. I look forward to our next visit to Mt. Juliet and I will be staying with the Powell's for sure. Only 20 minutes from all the hot spots. We spent an evening in Nashville and had a blast and were home safe and sound within 20-25 minutes. The location is the cream of the crop! I would recommend this great getaway to everyone. I promise you will not be disappointed. Let me share one last thing. That was the best hot tub I have ever been in, it rocked!!!!!
