Wow bent tree cottage was fantastic
Wow, we had a great time at being tree cottage. We are a family of 3, and wanted to do some “glamping” and this place was perfect. It was quiet, and exactly what my family needed for some down time. We’d highly recommend bent tree cottage for anyone looking for a quiet getaway! And oh yeah the outdoor tubs were great.

Perfect couple's getaway
My partner and I NEEDED a secluded, private, serene place to get away for a night for our anniversary (without the kids- for the first time in over a decade!). This little cottage was exactly what we were looking for. Our hosts met us at their driveway and showed us to our little oasis. We felt comfortable and safe enough to spend most of our visit in various stages of undress on the deck and in the tubs. We didn't see or hear any other humans from the time our hosts departed. And I didn't feel self conscious about being too loud, ahem, if you know what I mean. There were plenty of birds, crickets and frogs to serenade us throughout the day and night. You may want to reach out to Elaine before you book if you're allergic to wasps, as we did see quite a few (they didn't bother us). They provided pretty much everything we needed: shampoo & conditioner, towels (for the inside shower AND the outside tubs, as well as grippy mats for post bath cottage re-entry), a cold fridge for our supplies & fresh ice in the freezer, cold AC (2, in fact!), even a lb. of their own farm raised ground beef and charcoal in the grill to cook it, a hammock and games. We did attempt to watch a movie on TV, but the signal was intermittent. The handmade elements throughout the home were so creative & beautiful. I loved all of the raw edge wood details. My only complaint is that I prefer a softer bed. I would 100% stay here again, but I'd bring a mattress topper to supplement the bed.

Tranquil Tiny House
The highlight of this cottage is the outside bath tubs. The custom woodwork throughout is also really beautiful.

Love this place!
This place was awesome! It’s remote, quiet, very unique, and you’ll see tons of stars! It’s great to sit in the tubs out on the deck at night and just listen to nature while stargazing. Elaine and Daniel were so kind, got us settled, and then gave us complete privacy. They were quick to respond if we needed anything. We will definitely be back next time we’re in the area!

Beautiful Private Camping!
I loved camping at Elaine’s Tiny Cottage! It is a beautifully hand crafted place in a private area surrounded with peaceful scenery. She was fast to respond prior to our arrival regarding any question about our stay. Once we arrived, we immediately felt welcomed and were provided with everything we needed to have a perfect stay. The Tiny Cottage has lots of amenities and is kept clean and nice. We especially loved the Hydroponic Organic Tower Garden that allowed us to pick naturally grown vegetables to eat! We also enjoyed the two uniquely antique tubs that had hot water! Near by, we got to explore the cities of Franklin and Calvert to do some fun antique shopping and eating. We loved how everyone in the town was very nice and welcoming, made us feel at home. Overall, I would 100% recommend staying here! 10/10 experience and would love to go back one day.
