There’s nothing that soothes the soul more than a weekend getaway, and Tennessee has its fair share of natural spaces that lend a helping hand. From vacations in the mountains to a stunning stop along the Cumberland Plateau, the beauty of Tennessee is perfectly suited for fun. In Clarksville, Tennessee, however, you will find a quirky little Airbnb that seems a bit out of place in the landlocked Volunteer State: a lighthouse. Available for rent and open to families with pets, this unique getaway is worth a stay (or two!) for groups of up to four people. Would you stay the night in a countryside lighthouse?
Known as the "Lighthouse of the Mid-South," this Clarksville, Tennessee lighthouse was crafted by the local Amish and revamped as a rural getaway. Although it may seem tucked far and away from the city, it is only 15 minutes from downtown Clarksville.
The lighthouse is located just beyond the property’s main house, one that is inhabited by the host, and you will find that the four acres of private land are full of trees and even a stocked pond. There are rods provided with tackle for all you fisherfolk, as well as a playset, large front porch, and a trampoline for the kids.
There is no laundry in the lighthouse, but there is a stocked kitchen and essentials like linens, soap, towels, and toilet paper. The mini-fridge and pots provided make it easy to serve your own meals, and there is a coffee maker for the morning and grill outfitted with utensils for outdoor cooking.
The lofted bed is perhaps the most popular place to sleep, mainly for its unique setup, but there is also a sofa bed and a bunk bed. The lighthouse sleeps up to four guests.
Visitors rave about how beautiful the area is as well as the clean, picturesque creek and natural spring on the property. This is the perfect place for an intimate family getaway, especially with the kids!
You can book a night for yourself at this darling little Tennessee lighthouse beginning at $62 a night. The living space may be intimate, but the experience is expansive. Would you stay the night at this quirky spot?
