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

I have been here two times before and coming again the end of September. For me this is a piece of heaven on a side of a mountain. Nina is a very nice person and will do what she can to accommodate you. Yea it can be a little tricky getting there, but I like that, this is the mountains... More

We came in July and stayed in Rivendell Cabin, the largest of the three. We had 2 families (8 of us total) and we all fit comfortably inside. Everything we needed was there... towels, pots, dishes, silverware, cleaning supplies. It was great to not have to think about anything except food. Cabin was very neat and clean. There is also...

We drove 6 + hours to arrive to Rivendell Vacation Cabins. Due to the continuous rain / weather conditions, when we arrived, and proceeded up the mountain, the mountain was so saturated with rain, our Ford 250 truck would not make it up the mountain. We attempted several times to go up the mountain, and became stuck. We then had... More

What a treat! There are 3 cabins at Rivendell and I have now stayed in all 3. Each of them has everything you need - from towels, w/d, to packs of cookie mix and hot chocolate! - just bring your own food and you are all set. Each cabin has it's own unique beauty, but the same spectacular view of... More

We booked on-line and actually spoke to the owner. She knew our age and NEVER mentioned that the driveway to the cabin was steep. Upon arrival, we found that we could get down the driveway with the truck but couldn't turn around and get out. We had to back out, with much difficulty. We called the owner and told her... More

We stayed in the apartment downstairs from the owner's house. It was smelly from mold and mildew, spidery and dirty with dog hair all over the bedroom. We lit a fire the first night off the front porch, but we had to sit too far away from it to feel any heat. Also, the yard is bizarre with picket fences... More

Rivendell has 3 cabins perched on a mountain just outside of town. I stayed in the Cedars which is a 2 bedroom cabin. This cabin was extremely clean. The front porch gives you a beautiful relaxing view of the sunset over the mountains. Has a kitchen with fridge, stove, toaster, microwave, coffeepot plus silverware, towels, papertowels, pots, soap and windex.... More
