The Hive - Yurt on Hobby Farm

Welcome to The Hive! This is the second unit on our hobby farm and a nature lovers paradise :) Gorgeous views and abundant wildlife both day and night. After parking near the main home you will take a very short (under 300ft) walk down the hill to the 24ft yurt. On the walk down stop and say hello to the farm animals. Inside the yurt you will have all the amenities to keep you entertained and cozy. Venture out to hike, kayak, shop, etc or just stay in with a good book ❤️

*The yurt is entirely yours to enjoy. Equipped with a queen size bed as well as a queen size futon you'll have plenty of sleeping room to sprawl out or snuggle up. If extra space is needed we can provide a queen size air mattress as well. The rainfall shower with on demand hot water along with natural lighting feel incredibly luxurious! Sit on the deck and take it the surroundings possibly catching a glimpse of the deer residents or dozens of wild turkeys. Go out and explore on a sunny day or cozy up with a good book on a rainy afternoon. Ductless mini split heating/cooling system will keep you comfortable year round.

*Guests are welcome to wander the property and say hi to the animals. If you would like to feed them let us know we are happy to provide feed. You can also give them safe snacks :) if you aren't sure what they can have just ask.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with WiFi. Other standard amenities include a sofa bed, a coffee maker, and a dining table.

I was travelling with my two dogs and this was the perfect, fun place to spend a couple nights while visiting family. I wondered how warm the yurt would be at night, but the split unit kept it perfectly comfortable. If its available next time I go to visit this part of my family I will definitely go again!

Great location for a relaxing night under the stars.

Great property, friendly hosts, loved the goats and other animals. The squeeze between the fence and the tree entering the property was a little sketchy, glad we had a rental.

Perfect Hideaway

We loved staying on the property and in the yurt! Very clean and perfectly decorated for the experience. Equipped with everything needed for a “glamping” stay. Owners were very communicative and made check in and check out easy. Looking forward to staying at the Hive again!

The Yurt is sooo cute! My teenage daughter and I stayed for an extended weekend. Check in was very simple. Upon arrival we were greeted by some of the farm friends. The Yurt is cozy, clean and stocked with everything you needed. I highly recommend and absolutely plan on visiting again. Thank you for such a memorable visit to Tennessee.

Super fun!

This was a really cool experience, I have never stayed in a yurt before. The shower was really nice, lots of towels, the air conditioning worked great which I was a little bit worried about since it’s almost 100 this week.Everything was as advertised as promised, would definitely stay here again.

Fun Place to stay near downtown Sweetwater

My daughter loved the farm animals and the place was clean and comfortable. If you do have to utilize the futon for sleeping, I suggest bringing a mattress pad. Otherwise it was a great weekend getaway!
