From the moment you drive onto the property, it is exactly as advertised (or actually more amazing). It is spectacular outside and inside, including the incredible finishing touches. Nothing was forgotten where amenities were concerned. And the Owners are most gracious and hospitable. Will be staying many more times!

When I think of Tennessee, I think of rolling hills, welcoming people, a slower pace of life, homemade breakfast, football on the weekends... all the things that make life great. Staying at this property was the epitome of what I imagine when I think of Tennessee. We came for a visit to explore the area. We arrived in the evening on a perfect fall day. Driving up to the house, we saw the rolling hills of the property and the cows out back as the sun was setting. We were amazed at how quiet and still the property was. We opened the front door to find a perfectly curated farmhouse that blended high quality fixtures and finishouts with rustic materials that have character and history. The kitchen begged me to cook, so we made breakfast each morning and dinner each night. The beds encourage you to linger longer, so we slept in, had coffee on the porch in the morning and rambled around the property. The bathroom welcomes you to treat yourself well and to take your time. The house is a destination of its own, and the owner, Tim, is a very generous host who really wants to see visitors enjoy the house the way his family has enjoyed the area for many years.
