My wife and I have been going to Garden of Eden Cabins, two or three times a year, for well over ten years ... and this place is as close to paradise as you'll ever find. It's located in a secluded wood near an absolutely beautiful creek. I love falling asleep on the back porch to the relaxing sound of... More

The cabin was horribly small, dirty, and just overall gross. Kitchen was disgusting and old appliances. This was the worst cabin we've ever stayed in. Definitely NOT romantic. Overpriced and gross, we would never recommend this place.

I have lived here on my property over 50 years & in the rental biss of my cabins for 23 years. Over that period of time things have had to be replaced, renovations & updates made. No appliance in any of my cabins is over 11 years old. I pay a rate of over $10 hr for cleaning. Minimum time... More

When we checked in Miss Iva and Chris proceeded to ask us all kinds of unprofessional, rude, and inappropriate questions for a cabin rental--they asked us where we were from, asked us where we worked, asked us for our birth dates and social security numbers. They even proceeded to call us back when they couldn't find where we worked online-so... More

What a pleasant, peaceful and wonderful experience. Lullabye Falls cabin was very clean as Chris worked extremely hard in preparation. Miss Iva is a most gracious host and her and Chris' hospitality and accommodations were greatly appreciated. Miss Iva is an exquisite artist and we liked her paintings, so much so, that we bought a painting of Lullabye Falls cabin.... More

My husband and I stayed for one night in the Creekside Cabin at Garden of Eden Cabins. Miss Iva checked us in and Chris was still sprucing up the cabin to ensure that it was sparkling clean (he did a great job)! Both Miss Iva and Chris are very nice, and want to please their guests during their stay. The... More

My family and I stayed in the Creekside Cottage at Garden of Eden in September of 2011. Upon entering the private road on which the cabins are located, I was instantly transported to a different world-- a world where time creeps by slowly and the only thing audible is the gentle rush of a mountain stream. As I said, we... More

I have been collecting Iva Prince art for a few years now, and found out that she had the Garden of Eden like a year or 2 ago. My husband and I ( with our scottish terriers) went to TN on a whim over the weekend. She had a cancellation and we were able to get in there for 1... More

We're back again for Springtime in the mountains. As usual the Lullaby cabin is awesome. We had a great time and even caught a small rainbow trout in rhe creek. The dog loved it and we love being able to bring him. Highly recommend this cabin. Thanks again Ms. Iva!

What a wonderful experience! My family rented two cabins for three nights and couldn't have had a better time. The beauty and integrity of the natural landscaping is beyond description - reminded me of my home on Mt. Hood in Oregon. Iva and her long time handyman, Chris, were very accommodating, even to the point of providing a pet carrier... More

We had the best time! The cabin was perfect and Miss Iva so sweet. Had to buy a painting of the Lullaby Waterfall cabin to take home. The creek is awesome, can't wait to come back when its warmer and get in! The dog loved it too, so nice to be able to bring him. Everything you need is here.... More
