Gorgeous Location, Classic TN Home

We absolutely loved our stay at Idle Hour Farm. This property was everything we were looking for during our trip to TN! The home is historic, gorgeous and extremely well maintained. We brought our pups with us and they enjoyed themselves as much as we did! The land is beautiful and perfect for walks with a gorgeous Mountain View. The home was super clean and had that classic “log cabin” feel. We can’t wait to book our next visit. Thank you so much for offering this beautiful property for us to experience!

Idle Hour is peaceful and beautiful

This was our second visit to Idle Hour Farm. It was fun exploring the property. Used the fireplace on cool crisp mornings we are early risers. I was formerly raised in Tennessee. The log house reminded me of my grandparents log house of days gone by ruined by fire. Love pd sitting on the rockers on the front porch. We even saw a wild turkey doing a walk about. We are in our seventies. Could not negotiate the upstairs but master bedroom downstairs was great. Glad to see modern appliances in an old setting. Enjoyed reading the towns history too. Ate at the Hale Springs Inn and also toured the inns bedrooms where past Presidents have stayed. Their name plaques are on the rooms they stayed in. Inn was established in 1824. The town of Rogersville is historic. My parents grew up there. People are so friendly. The irises were blooming everywhere. It was a memorable stay.

The property was beautiful, we enjoyed it immensely. It was close to other great experiences . Our family joined us a couple of days and we made dinner and another grilled on the wonderful patio with the beautiful view of the mountains. We will be back. Such a great time.

A Step Back In Time

A historic cabin with all the modern amenities. If you are a history buff this is a great retreat for you! Filled with antiques and very charming. Situated on a 50 acre farm it is a peaceful respite with several old farm building to explore. The host is very responsive and provided several suggestions of nearby places to visit during our stay. I would like to mention however that true to the time period of when this was originally built, the ceilings are low with exposed beams, but for me that just added to the rustic appeal.

So peaceful and beautiful

My first impression when I walked through the door was that we had stepped back in time. My grandparents lived in a log cabin when I was a small child. No electricity nor running water. So glad that you modernized those things. I wanted to just unplug and enjoy the serenity of it all. Glad to see you did have wi-fi just in case we needed it. Only issue for us was negotiating the stairs, we were all in our 70’s. Too old to climb steep steps. So we had my sister in law and myself in the master bedroom. My husband slept in living room on the sofa to keep from climbing the steps. He said it was very comfortable. Our Chihuahua Rose is 13 and has cataracts. She ran around outside like she was a pup. Matter of fact in 3 short days she lost 5 oz. Must have been the sweet clover grass. I can brag to my friends that I stayed in a 1860’s cabin. Thank you so much for an enjoyable trip.

Jolly Christmas Cabin!

The perfect setting for an old fashioned Family Christmas! Laura was a fabulous hostess, and had the cabin perfect for our arrival. The cabin was extremely well appointed with everything you need to hunker down for the holiday. Generous bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas—and an amazing, bucolic family farmstead setting! We’ll be back!

WOW!!! WHAT A WEEKEND!!!

This property is an iconic piece of Tenn history! This family has done an amazing job of maintaining the original feel of an 1860’s house and property but with all of the conveniences of modern day. I could have stayed for a week!! My dad is originally from this area (he is now 90) and we were there visiting family and enjoying the annual Heritage days they have on Main Street, the house is so cozy and so full of history we didn’t even turn on the tv for all the books about the area and history of the house. We built a fire in the fire pit overlooking the mountains with the leaves all different colors of red and orange, just amazing to sit and look at God’s creation and feel blessed to have been apart of this experience, we can’t wait to go back and stay a bit longer!

Beautiful fall visit to the farm

When we got to Idle Hour, the first thing I did was Marco Polo my bff, my mom, my brother, and my daughter to show them the property and insist they return with us someday. It’s a quaint and beautiful house in the heart of very pretty countryside. It is like stepping back in time with all the modern conveniences. We hiked up to the ridge to enjoy the view. It was steep, but it only took about 15 mins and was certainly worth it. The hosts were so responsive (even if they root for the wrong football team haha!). We enjoyed Coffee at the Kyle (get the black, red, or purple eye - they are great) and the sweet downtown area. We will be back!

A Place To Re-Set Your Family To A Simpler Way Of Life

Panoramic and Refreshing, A place to sit at the dining room table and watch your little dog madly chase Fireflies, which were foreign to him. I taught my 14-year-Old Daughter how to drive on the roads that criss cross the property. The boys put down their cell phones and tossed footballs while deer critiqued their passes and bunny rabbits coexisted with the groundhog who lumbered through the yard twice daily. Wild Turkeys strutted their stuff and Me and the Missus just relaxed for a change.
