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.

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!

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 :)

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!

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.

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!

About the host

Hosted by Karen Heifner

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.
