Giggling Creek Cottage: 45 Acres of Rural Bliss, BedJet, Arcades + Pet Friendly

Nested adjacent to the Reed Creek, is a small cottage full of rural charm. Welcome to Giggling Creek Cottage, where the nearby creek giggles with joy that you’ve come to pay a visit.

The Land:
45 acres welcomes you and your family. Giggling Creek is right next to Rockwood Park Road— don’t worry though, head into the hills for a walk while enjoying the fresh country air.

5 acres across the street are part of the land and has a perfect view of what our kids call the Giggling Creek.

THE SPACE

The Cottage:
The cottage itself was recently renovated and some minor renovations are under way. It comes equipped with a Nespresso Virtuo for the coffee lovers. Well water is the main source of water but for those that prefer distilled water, a fountain is also available. The cottage is 2 Bedrooms and 1 Bath with an en suite to the sole bathroom. The cottage is best suited for small families and can technically sleep 8-10 folks with a bunk bed (with trundle) in the Second Bedroom. Each sleeping area has zoned cooling and the whole home has central oil heat. Each room also has a ceiling fan and there is a utility room with a full sized washer and dryer. MBR has a portable crib for those families with very young children.

The cottage has an open garage which two workshops sit. This garage is restricted but feel free to roam the other buildings on the 45 acres. The farm used to have several livestock and chickens. You can even see the old chicken coop from the back porch.

Oh, the cottage is on septic and well water. To accommodate folks that mind the unique taste of well water— a distilled water cooler is available in the kitchen. Please note that additional bottles may need to be brought in from the garage if the red light sensor is blinking.

Enjoy the fire pit with your family, have a cup of coffee on the porch swing while listening to the creek giggle or take in the sights on top of the knoll up the driveway for a short hike around the 45 acres.

The owners love all games so there are several indoor and outdoor games to keep you entertained. Corn Hole set-up is in a black case in the MBR. Outdoor lawn darts are also available along with a tree swing (requires adult supervision and care). Indoor games include Monopoly, Jenga, Connect 4, etc.

NEW FOR SUMMER : Backyard patio with new grill, propane patio heater, shade umbrella and seating!

Note: we're piloting a toddler sandpit area. Deer also seem to like it and so we've considered adding in a fence. Feel free to use it but please note this is not part of our official amenities.

Nice nature reset
Myself, my sister in law and 5 kids raging in ages 8-15 stayed at mavinstone this June. The adults enjoyed the picturesque surroundings as well as the very comfortable bed. The kids loved the gaming features as well as the peach tree and wild blackberry bushes. Very comfortable beds and everything you need in the kitchen etc.

Well appointed rental in secluded area, lots of land to explore! Close to grocery shopping and restaurants but tucked away enough to feel miles from town.

Great Pit Stop
Stayed at this lovely cottage on our drive from NJ to Nashville. Our dogs loved running around the fenced yard. The cottage was clean with all the modern amenities. Hosts were friendly, helpful and responsive. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect location for our family getaway!
This was the perfect location for us to spend some quality time together with our grandchildren. The outdoor space was perfect for them to do some exploring and expend some energy. I enjoyed the patio and the porch to catch up on some reading, as well. We were looking for a place to relax and not be on any kind of a schedule, and this lived up to our expectations. We would book again when in the area!

Home Away from Home
We stayed at Giggling Creek while a home improvement project was underway. We were happy to find a place we could bring our dogs, and the dogs loved the fenced in yard out front. We had everything we needed for our stay. There is a lot of cute decor, and the back patio area with solar lights was really cute. It's private, as you cannot see a nearby house from the property. The owner was very responsive to our texts. We really enjoyed our stay.

Cute Cottage!
The stay is at this cottage was great! We loved the quietness of the area. The cottage is dressed up well inside with cute decorations and very clean. The wall heaters in the rooms is so comfortable when it was chilly outside. The cottage is well equipped for your stay. Our little dog walking around in the front yard which is fenced in. We saw herd of deer in the evening across the street.

We loved it. Very easy to deal with hosts. Very accommodating. The giggling creek was neat. We would stay there again, and bring our ATV to explore the 45 acres more. Had everything we needed and games were fun.

Great mountain escape
We can’t say enough good things about this property. We enjoyed staying as a family of 4 with plenty of indoor space and explored the beautiful outdoors. We could tell the owners tried to think of everything you would ever need to make it an easy trip away from home. We highly recommend!
