“We are so glad we got to experience The Muse at the Retreat! Monteagle is a true hidden gem of a mini vacay! The house was perfect and really one of the best located lots at the Retreat. The Waterfall area is breathtaking! Perfect outdoor fireplace and parking was perfect. We can’t wait to book another visit!”

“Extremely tasteful and functional decor indoors and out. On secluded oversized lot, provided for great privacy and relaxation. A treacherous hike down to the waterfall offers priceless reward!”

“The Muse was a great place for my wife and I to spend the weekend. We attended a concert at The Caverns, and the Muse is only 15 to 20 minutes away. The home was clean an comfortable with plenty of privacy.”

“Our stay at Muse during Thanksgiving was great! It's furnished beautifully and very comfortable. It offered everything we needed. This was our first stay in a tiny home and we were very pleased with the location and privacy of the lot. The fenced yard was perfect for traveling with our cockapoo.”

This was my second stay at the Cozy Cottage and it's just as perfect as I remembered. The waterfall here is gorgeous. The house is cozy and perfect for a romantic getaway. Will absolutely be back!

This was a perfect weekend getaway with our dog Loaf. The fenced in deck and yard made it easy for him to explore. Very clean and well decorated! We'll be coming back!

A lovely little cabin with excellent amenities. The sauna and the hot tub were amazing. The house feels very private. A fantastic retreat.

We loved it there! This location was perfect for a family of 4 with two boys who love the outdoors. Walkable to the playground and docks. We definitely want to come back!

We stayed at the Muse for a week & could not have loved it more! The privacy, peace & serenity of this tiny house can’t be beat. It was set back from the main road & nestled in among the trees. The outdoor spaces offer so much & we spent the majority of our time on the back deck, the fire pit area & the screened front porch. The inside of the tiny house was beautifully decorated & offered everything we needed for our week’s stay. I would 100% recommend this place & look forward to returning for another visit down the road.
Stayed one night. Very nice. Will stay again and refer others.
Lovely little place and very private, unlike so many of the other cute tiny houses in this cool little community. We very much enjoyed our stay here. It was comfortable and relaxing. It was well stocked, had everything we needed to live and cook for 3 days. Lots of fun places to visit close by. Also, the management company could not have communicated better and been for helpful. We will be back for certain.
Muse at Monteagle is on a secluded lot with several wonderful outdoor options. We enjoyed the firepit for some nighttime wine and conversation, the side deck for some morning yoga, and the screen porch for coffee. The house was super clean and comfortable and the perfect location to relax and see a show at The Caverns. Very therapeutic!
This house was perfect for us and our two animals! We loved the easy access to a trail on the property. The house itself was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We came here with the intention of spending most of our time in Chattanooga, but the town of Monteagle was so cute that we spent a lot of time there too. You will not go wrong booking this house!
Very nicely decorated and well-appointed. Comfortable beds. We had a wonderful stay at Muse. A perfect getaway while visiting our college student for the weekend. Nice hiking trails close by as well.
