Loved the coziness of the cabin -- undisturbed, no television, plenty of coffee, and a lovely light breakfast in the frig! Easy access to the winery where there was a great ambiance and such friendly service. Loved the wine flight, and Chef made a custom, hot brunch for us! Kimberly made our stay comfortable and we loved the friendly dogs roaming the property!

We arrived exhausted and checked into the small cabin on the property. We unloaded our suitcases, from the car, and headed to the winery. The Winery lacked ambiance to say the least. The food and wine were excellent. The Cabin: Beware! After dinner we returned to the cabin and laid down to rest. Immediately we noticed the bamboo used for the ceiling which would allow insects to drop through and possibly onto the bed. A closer looked revealed spiders crawling on the walls and no TV. We promptly loaded up our car and got out of there. The property manager was notified, via text, but our complaint went unaddressed. I wish I could upload photos! Honestly I don’t know how they can continue to accept reservations for this shack.

Tara is located high on a hill outside of Athens. It has sweeping views of the surrounding areas which include a vineyard. The historic home is well appointed, comfortable and inviting. A perfect stay for a visit with family and friends or a solo visit.

No Showers during stay

I understand the concept they are trying to achieve with the little bungalow. it's one room with a bathroom, however there are no amenities. the refrigerator barely works I was unable to shower the entire time I was there as the shower only was good enough to rinse the body it was impossible to be able to wash your hair and getting the soap off after you soaped your body was a half hour process. (They have a new refund policy so checking out and moving to a different place was out of the question or I would have lost my $400 for my three-night stay) Unfortunately the bed was okay but it seemed to lean towards the center but I think it needs additional supports as the mattress is one of those foamy ones.

Remote cabin peaceful nights

The cabin is remote and quiet. I did not stay or visit the Inn. The cabin is an older building, with it's issues. If you want a place to look perfect, you will pay more for it. AC took a bit to cool the place down, ( July 2020) no ceiling fan to assist in air flow. Being remote, in the woods, means you have a few more insects than a hotel, but I did not mind getting back to nature. No wifi, no TV, just you, a room, and a bathroom. The porch looked nice, but too hot to enjoy when I was there. Simple stay for a decent price.

Cabin in the woods :-)

We stayed in the cabin and were completely impressed. Clean, quiet (nature sounds and trails), and felt as if we were "off the grid". The winery was wonderful and people there were helpful and pleasant. We would definitely stay again and hope to very soon!

Tara Vineyards

Overall it was an interesting experience. The grounds are gorgeous. The main B&B exceptional (for the area way too pricey) The cottage where we stayed was rustic and quaint, however, it was in need of a few minor repairs (sealing wall openings, clearing outside weeds, removing bees nests, cleaning porch furniture etc) Once these minor fixes are done it will be outstanding. All in all we liked it. The Cellar Door (on site wine tasting & eatery) it’s self was relaxed and comfortable, service very laid back (perhaps too much -we said we were checking in cottage they never asked ours names or for ID) We had the cheese board... very nicely done, however, again a slight miss, they left items listed on menu off (nuts & jams). They did prepare us a nice bundle of breakfast items for the cottage. The sourdough bread was awesome and the wines fantastic. My only other comment - while pets are permitted signage asks they be leashed, there were a number of large dogs unleashed roaming from table to table (while eating) - these were I assume management or owners pets as guests had their pets leashed. These few things are why I can’t give it a 5 star review. I would stay here again.

A great couples getaway

The cabin was very cute and the staff was very polite and helpful. The vineyard was beautiful as well as the restaurant on the property. The restaurant had great music and food and the whole experience seemed very home like. I would recommend this property for any couple looking for a romantic getaway.
