North Star Nature Suites is AMAZING. Kevin and Amalia thought of every detail when designing these cabins. My husband and I stayed the weekend here and we could not recommend it more! Only an hour and a half outside of Nashville and the perfect getaway! Their grounds are gorgeous!
Kevin and Amelia were so prepared and kind. The cabins at Northstar are so beautiful and luxurious with every detail thoroughly thought out with such care- even down to the signature scent that my boyfriend and I truly could not get enough of. We kept taking deep breaths when we were inside because it smelled so good. Our favorite night was grilling outside and sitting by the fire pit listening to music and watching the stars. It’s truly so peaceful. We also really enjoyed exploring Sparta and visiting all of the places Kevin and Amelia recommended. We cannot wait to go back.
We absolutely loved our visit. The property/suites are beautiful. The finishes chosen were outstanding. Significant thought was obviously given in choosing the finishes and design of the suites. Excellent design to ensure outdoor privacy for each guests' use of their own hot tub and fire pit (Solo stove). When they say the suites are like a five-star boutique hotel, they are spot on. It was our first - but definitely not - our last visit.

Thank you Kevin and Amalia for the southern hospitality! It truly is a Luxury Suite that exceeded our expectations! Evening fire pit and hot tub was a great way to relax from a day walking trails and seeing water falls! The bed was very comfortable and we both got a good night sleep! We will be back in the fall to enjoy the cooler temps and fall foliage. Also, your recommendation for the Italian restaurant Marioochi’s Pizza on the square was spot on!
Such an incredibly beautiful place to recharge and reconnect. Surrounded fully by nature while also experiencing a beyond luxurious cabin was truly a treat. We loved the amenities including dipping in the hot tub each evening while admiring the hundreds of stars visible! There are many beautiful waterfalls and hikes within a 35 minute drive if you are open to exploration. We will most definitely be back!
One of the best unexpected gems we’ve ever stumbled upon!
Our Fourth of July detour turned into one of the most memorable weekends thanks to Kevin and his wife’s incredible cabin compound tucked right beside the Tennessee natural reserve. From start to finish, this was a true five-star experience. The cabin is thoughtfully designed with high-end touches and stocked with every amenity you could possibly need—and then some.
We had so much fun hiking, sightseeing, and even going off-roading with the Razor through the nearby trails. Back at the cabin, we made pizzas, grilled, soaked in the hot tub, and relaxed by the fire pit under the stars. The cherry on top was celebrating the Fourth by shooting fireworks with the hosts, who were incredibly warm, welcoming, and made us feel right at home.
This place is also perfect for a family reunion or group getaway. You can book all of their beautifully built cabins to host a larger group while still enjoying your own space and privacy.
If you’re looking for luxury, nature, and genuine hospitality all in one magical setting, book this place immediately. Can’t recommend it enough!

My husband and I go away once a year while our kids are with their grandparents. We rotate which Luxury accommodations we want to try and this year it was North Star Nature Suites. Everything was amazing, we also did the UTV with picnic lunch add on and highly recommend. We took a short drive to Rock Island State park and hiked the gorge near the old cotton mill which was amazing. This year was extra special as we also doubled the trip as a baby moon before welcoming our 3rd baby in a few short weeks.
Thank you Kevin & Amalia for a wonderful trip

We had an incredible time at Northstar! It’s the perfect retreat, just under two hours from Nashville. From the luxurious cabin to the heated floors, and the well-equipped grill and pizza oven, every detail has been thoughtfully curated. We especially enjoyed the guided hike to the waterfall via UTV—such a unique and peaceful experience. We truly made the most of every moment in this tranquil oasis. Highly recommend this getaway!
I reserved a North Star Nature Suite for my boyfriend’s 40th birthday and it completely exceeded our expectations! We loved how tranquil and remote the accommodations were. If you’re outdoorsy, there are hiking trails both on and off the property to explore. The suite we stayed in (Lyra) was immaculate (we were not surprised to find out that one of the owners is an interior designer). It was modern, comfortable and clean with every possible amenity that we could have needed. The outdoor hot tub was a great way to relax after a long day of hiking. Will be back again hopefully soon!
I had an absolutely unforgettable stay at North Star Nature Suites. The moment I arrived, I was surrounded by peace and natural beauty. The suite itself was spotless, beautifully designed, and perfectly integrated with the surrounding landscape — every window framed a postcard-worthy view.
Waking up to the sounds of birds and rustling leaves was pure magic. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from the cozy linens to the amenity spaces. The hosts were warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about creating a serene and rejuvenating space.
If you’re looking for a place to truly unplug, reconnect with nature, and recharge your soul, this is it. I can’t wait to come back.

The perfect weekend escape! We had an amazing stay at North Star—everything was beautifully designed, clean, and luxurious. The amenities were a highlight: we enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, hammock, and more. It was the ideal place to relax and unwind.
During our stay, we explored nearby trails, including Rylander Cascades Trailhead and Fall Creek Falls State Park. The hikes and waterfalls were stunning.
We also visited Downtown Sparta and grabbed some fantastic pizza at Marriochi, followed by one of the best lattes we’ve ever had at The Coffee Collective.
Everything about this weekend was 10/10. Highly recommend North Star Nature Suites for a peaceful and refreshing getaway!

Spending the weekend at Nature Suites felt like stepping into a dream I didn’t want to leave. Every corner of this serene retreat is infused with thoughtful luxury—from the gentle warmth of heated floors beneath your feet to the scent of their signature fragrance, North Star, lingering in the air like a memory. The grounds invite exploration, with peaceful hiking trails and the charm of wood-fired pizza ovens that turn meals into moments. Nature Suites isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place that stays with you. An experience both grounding and elevated. I couldn’t recommend it more deeply.
I just spent an entire weekend at North Star Nature Suites and I can’t speak highly enough about my experience. If you're looking for a luxurious retreat in Tennessee, this is THE place to go. The suites are beautifully designed and decorated, offering the perfect blend of luxury and nature. The views are absolutely breathtaking, and the surrounding landscape makes you feel fully immersed in the beauty that TN has to offer.
Kevin and Amalia made the experience even more memorable with their exceptional hospitality. Thanks to their guidance, we were able to explore the stunning waterfalls and caves around Sparta—all on the UTVs that are available on the property!
Each cabin is equipped with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing and fun getaway: a grill, hot tub, pizza oven, and fire pit. We spent our weekend cooking delicious meals, playing games provided by North Star, and enjoying the starry night skies. I definitely want to shout out the pizza ovens that each cabin has! North Star provides all of the necessary tools that you may need and more - all you have to do is bring the ingredients. Nothing better than a freshly baked pizza under the stars with a bottle of wine!
North Star truly has it all—the perfect place to relax, unwind, and explore. With such a short drive from Tennessee, we will definitely be back. This is the go-to nature retreat in TN!

North Star Nature Suites is pure magic! Every detail was thoughtfully curated for comfort and relaxation.
Owners Kevin and Amalia have thought of everything—we only needed to bring our clothes and food; everything else was provided. The 90-minute drive from Nashville is scenic and easy, making it a perfect, convenient getaway.
Upon arrival, I was able to work seamlessly from our suite—the fast internet made video calls and streaming effortless. After wrapping a work day, sitting in a heated chair by the fire pit on a crisp night and soaking in the hot tub under the stars was an unforgettable experience. And let’s talk about the sleep—the King bed and Brooklinen bedding were unbelievably comfortable. We slept better than we have in ages!
The community fire pit was another highlight—great conversations, new friendships, and a bottle of wine under the stars.
North Star Nature Suites is the definition of quiet luxury—a place to reconnect, recharge, and experience nature with every modern comfort. Already planning our next trip back!
PS - Don't skip out on making pizza from scratch on the Solo Stove Pi Pizza Oven, sipping Cabernet, and taking in the beauty of nature.

I cannot say enough good things about North Star Nature Suites! From the moment we arrived, we were absolutely blown away by the sheer luxury of the suites—every detail was thoughtfully designed for both comfort and elegance. The craftsmanship, the décor, and the breathtaking views made this an unforgettable stay.
The hospitality from Kevin and Amalia was beyond anything we’ve ever experienced. They made us feel right at home while also giving us the space to unwind and enjoy the tranquility of the property. Their attention to detail and passion for hospitality truly set this place apart.
I still can’t believe this hidden gem is just an hour and a half from Nashville! It’s the perfect place to disconnect, recharge, and soak in the beauty of nature. The scenery is simply jaw-dropping, whether you're relaxing on your private patio, taking a nature walk, or stargazing at night.
If you’re looking for the ultimate luxury retreat that combines privacy, nature, and five-star hospitality, look no further. This place is absolute perfection. We will 100% be back!

North Star Nature Suites was the perfect place to "get away from it all" for my wife and I this past weekend. The suites are true tiny "homes" and have everything and more needed for your stay.
The quality of the accommodations exceeds expectations and is quite luxurious.
Highlights:
--Peaceful/quiet
--Very clean (including the hot tub)
--Gorgeous night sky views
--Personal utility vehicle provided for those not comfortable taking their vehicle up the drive
We recommend at least a 2 night stay, but ideally 3 or more to enjoy the area. Suggested sights to see/things to do:
--Half day or full day hiking about 2 miles away starting at Lost Creek Falls Trailhead;
--Visit Sparta which has a few shops to explore, Jongee's and the Farmer's Storehouse are both high quality, Templeton BBQ (food truck near the Farmer's Storehouse) is a hidden gem for lunch, beware, they often sell out;
--Relax in idyllic surroundings, private hot tub and hammock, firepit with firewood and chairs provided

Great communication about what to expect prior to arrival and an easy check just by using my phone. Once we stepped into our suite we couldn’t believe how beautiful everything was! From first class amenities, to plush furniture, to easy on the feet flooring, to easy on the eye decor. Instantly on arrival our mindset went to relax mode and instantly enjoyed the outstanding views through the biggest windows we have ever looked through. We did not want the three night getaway to end. Every question from what breweries to visit to hikes we should explore was answered by the GREAT hosts Amalia and Kevin. We definitely will be back!
North Star Nature Suites nails the cozy getaway aesthetic with both top tier design and style. While the temperature during our stay didn’t permit us the planned hikes—yes, we’re fair weather friends for sure—we came prepared with books and an attention towards laziness. We bounced between the amazing hot tub and comfy indoor space and even took a mini afternoon trip into Sparta and Cookeville. Definitely put this spot on your next planned getaway!
North Star Nature Suites is an exceptional getaway! The space was beautifully designed with great amenities, and the hosts were incredibly accommodating. We loved hiking the trails on the property and the nearby park, and their recommendations made our stay even better. It’s a peaceful, tranquil retreat—perfect for relaxing in nature. Highly recommend!
This place is a perfect hideaway! The night sky from the hot tub was exceptional and the feeling of peace once you arrive onto property is a breath of fresh air! Kevin and Amalia have really put their hearts into this place and it shows. Beautiful property, cannot wait to return!
North Star Nature Suites exceeded all of our expectations and truly delivered a five-star experience in the heart of nature. The suite itself is an absolute dream—spacious, luxurious, and thoughtfully designed with stunning mountain views. The interior design is gorgeous, combining modern elegance with cozy comfort, and every detail is carefully curated to ensure a relaxing stay. From the king bed perfectly positioned for stargazing through the oversized windows, kitchen, to the well-equipped patio featuring a hot tub, grill/pizza oven, Solo Stove smokeless fire pit, and even heated chairs, they’ve truly thought of everything!
What truly sets North Star Nature Suites apart, though, is the exceptional hospitality. Kevin and Amalia went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. They personally greeted us on arrival, gave us a detailed tour of the suite, shared thoughtful recommendations for the area, and made themselves available for any questions throughout our visit. One highlight was taking them up on their recommendation for a local restaurant—where we unexpectedly ran into them dining with their lovely family. It was so special to see how authentically they live their values and how much they care about supporting the local community.
This was more than just a getaway—it was an experience we’ll be talking about for years to come. If you’re looking for a luxurious retreat with unmatched hospitality, North Star Nature Suites is absolutely the place to go.

My husband and I had the chance to stay at the North Star Nature Suites for a family reunion and be apart of the opening guest list. The experience was immersive from the start with your approach to the beautiful vast winding views of Sparta. Once we entered the property we got to drive our own side-by-side up to our cabin where we were greeted with crisp air and birds chirping. We were so impressed with the level of privacy and comfort of the cabins and property. We loved sitting in the heated chairs with a cup of coffee while watching the birds play to start our day and a cup of tea while gazing at the stars to conclude it after a nice soak in our own hot tub. We enjoyed using the walkie-talkies they included in each of the cabins so we could communicate among ourselves and with Amalia and Kevin if we needed anything. The cabins are individually and thoughtfully designed with each having beautiful interiors which made reconnecting with the outdoors feel so comfortable and effortless. My husband and I loved spending time in our cabin and having no agenda. It was a perfect place to spend time with my family — we got to see the hidden falls, go for a hike, have homemade meals together, play cards, and make memories to conclude the year. We can’t wait to go back in the summer to enjoy kayaking on the river!
Incredibly relaxing and luxurious. My wife and I loved the heated Adirondack chairs, hot tub, and fireplace. It was the perfect retreat away from our busy city life in Chicago.
Who knew such an amazing place was so close to Nashville? My wife and I recently stayed here and were immediately blown away by the property. The night sky views while sitting in the heated chairs by the fire pit is something we already miss. The comfort and decor of the nature suite were pure luxury, way more than I
expected. Waking up to the view of mountains and having a cup of coffee out on the patio with the sounds of nature was so relaxing and peaceful. We are already planning a return to North Star this summer!

Our pre-holiday weekend spent at North Star was exactly what we needed. The property was beautiful and serene and was the perfect place for some R&R. I’ve never stayed in such a well thought out and beautifully designed cabin. Arriving to your own personal UTV to drive up to the cabin was such a cool touch! We spent the weekend relaxing, hiking around the property and down at nearby falls and cooking. We purchased the pizza and S’more kits from the resort and enjoyed making pizzas outside in the pizza oven (so cool). We happened to be there on a more chilly weekend but the heated chairs and hot tub helped make up for the cooler air. We loved our stay and we will be returning guests!
We recently spent 2 nights at North Star. It’s absolutely stunning. The suites are impeccably designed and stocked generously with anything you may need. The amount of stars you can see, while relaxing from the hot tub, is unreal. This is the perfect place to disconnect and unwind. The owners were so kind and helpful. We will be back!
My wife and I recently had the chance to be among the first guests at North Star Nature Suites, and it was incredibly serene. Spending evenings by the fire pit in heated chairs was our favorite part. Warm and peaceful under the stars. During the day, we explored Lost Creek Falls and cave, just minutes away. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat from the city with luxury accommodations, this is the perfect spot. The owners live nearby and were very welcoming, which made our stay even more special.
