Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
Brodies Landing Cottage is a smoke-free, standalone cottage in Decaturville (Parsons area), Tennessee, offering a private and quiet base for exploring the Tennessee River region. Its name references its proximity to Lick Creek, roughly half a mile away, placing guests directly in a rural, water-adjacent setting. The property has earned a perfect 5-star rating from its early reviewers, who highlighted its scenic location and cleanliness.
Cottage Amenities
The cottage is fully air-conditioned and equipped with a kitchen, making it easy for guests to prepare their own meals during longer stays. A ceiling fan, iron and ironing board, washer, cable TV, and free Wi-Fi round out the practical comforts. Free parking is available directly onsite, and pets are welcome, making this a flexible option for road-trippers traveling with animals.
Location & Surroundings
The cottage sits about 7 minutes by car from the Tennessee River and is within a roughly 15-mile radius of several outdoor destinations, including Natchez Trace State Forest, Perryville Marina, Natchez Trace State Park, and the Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge Duck River Unit. Farther afield, Mousetail Landing State Park, Cuba Landing Marina, and the Beech River Cultural Center & Museum are all within a 20-30 mile drive. History-minded travelers can also reach the Perry County Courthouse, Patsy Cline Memorial, and Parker's Crossroads Battlefield within about 30 miles.
Dining Nearby
While the cottage's own kitchen allows for self-catering, a cluster of local restaurants sits within roughly a 7-12 kilometer drive, including Sweet T's Family Restaurant, Eddie's River Market, Frosty Top, Papa and Jack's Classic Grill, Prater's Taters, Fan Cave Pizzeria Parsons, and Ramey's Bar B Que. A few additional options, such as the Log Cabin Restaurant, The Loaded Spud, and Cafe Magnolia, are located farther out, roughly 28-29 kilometers away.
Getting There
Jackson Regional Airport is about 78.6 kilometers away, while the nearest major airport, Memphis International Airport, is roughly 224.8 kilometers (139.7 miles) from the cottage, so most guests will be arriving by car. Contactless check-out is available for added convenience.
Best for
This cottage suits couples, outdoor enthusiasts, and pet-owning travelers seeking a quiet, self-contained rural retreat near the Tennessee River, Natchez Trace State Forest, and multiple marinas. Its full kitchen, washer, and free parking also make it a practical choice for longer stays or road trips through rural Tennessee.
Travel tips
Because the cottage is in a rural stretch of Decaturville/Parsons, a car is essential for reaching restaurants, attractions, and the nearest airports, and guests should expect winding, curvy country roads when driving to and from the property. Plan for roughly a 7-minute drive to the Tennessee River and budget extra time for the 20-30 mile trips to state parks and marinas. Since the nearest major airport is over two hours away, fly into Memphis International Airport and rent a vehicle for the onward drive.
What guests say
The limited but strongly positive reviews consistently praise the cottage's scenic, peaceful location and note that it was very clean and comfortable. Guests also specifically appreciated the helpfulness of a host named Vickie. The one recurring minor note relates to the drive to the property, with a guest mentioning the winding, curvy local roads typical of the Tennessee countryside as part of the journey rather than a complaint about the cottage itself.
