About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Peacocks, blacksmithing, buffalo, wildlife, a studio cabin by the pond.

Farmhouse Gallery & Gardens


As you drive through the covered bridge and enter our 73-acre family farm nestled between the mountains, you will understand why we want to share this special place with our guests. A nature-lover’s dream, our log cabin studio art gallery by the pond is now available for overnight stays — a unique opportunity to experience the artist’s inpiration.

The gallery has a separate, private guestroom with a queen sized bed, cozy bathroom with shower, small fridge with freezer, microwave, and single-serve coffee and tea maker with complimentary pods. The guestroom is connected to the gallery but has a separate keyless entry to the outside. After hours access to the common area is available for the enjoyment of our guests. A porch with table and chairs is also available for relaxing outdoors.

We live in an area rich in history, and the cabin dates back 250 years. We have always landscaped for wildlife and provided food and habitat for multiple species. Gardening has always been a key ingredient in our lifestyle, as well as cooking, canning, art, antiques and music. We also have a small buffalo herd, and Sammy Fathead, our buffalo bull, is always happy to greet visitors who come with us to his pasture. We have an authentic, working log cabin blacksmith shop, where our son Robin produces beautiful and functional artistic metal work. Johnny has been a wildlife artist for over 40 years, and his watercolors, prints, and pencil drawings are in the gallery, as well as the metalwork and other items we make here on the farm. Pat has had a commercial kitchen and catered and baked on site for nearly thirty years — you might get lucky and time your visit on a baking day, when she is preparing her goodies for a local farmer’s market. We look forward to welcoming you to our farm!
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a patio and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a microwave, a refrigerator, and a coffee maker.

This was a good choice for us. It was peaceful (well, there are peacocks), relaxing, comfortable and a bit quirky. The hosts could not have been more welcoming and we loved hearing the history of the farm. We would stay here again. Especially if the host shares those homemade oatmeal bars!

Amazing property with lots of wildlife

I was greeted as soon as I got here. I was given a tour of the property. The pictures in this listing do not show the beauty here. Open pastures with views of the mountains, buffalo, wildlife and flowing streams in a natural environment makes this property very unique. This is a quiet property for nature lovers. The host do not bother you and you get the privacy needed to relax comfortably.

Nice setting, friendly hosts but low on comfort

Very nice setting and the hosts were very friendly. We planned on just relaxing and enjoying the critters and surroundings. Unfortunately there was not a comfortable place to sit for an extended amount of time. The bathroom did not have a place for us to put any of our bathroom stuff. There was no place to hang any clothes. The light situation was peculiar with sticks needed to reach many switches. We paid for three nights but left after one just because we could not get comfortable.

Very quaint little cabin tucked away on a farm. Owners were very friendly and pleasant. Was a short stay but loved the atmosphere and got to visit with some of the animals. Would definitely stay again.

Tennessee get away

We travelled over from the UK for our son’s graduation at Milligan university. Pat and Jonny are the most lovely hosts taking the time to explain the history of the farm and the artists studio where we were staying. Pat is an amazing baker and Jonny a very talented artist. The farm has bison, goats, peacocks and chickens however the wildlife including otters and beavers ( both of which we saw) as well as squirrels and red cardinals ( my favourite) was outstanding. Our log cabin was set on the bank of the pond which was surrounded by trees and irises . The bedroom , kitchenette and shower room were clean, comfortable and homely. We were also invited to use the living room which included items to buy from the local community as well as Jonny’s art work and crafts. This is situated within the cabin and leads onto a deck overlooking the pond and giving a perfect view of the wildlife. We also met their son Robbie who helps run the farm and is a blacksmith with a forge on the site where he makes useful items. This was a beautiful stay which left us reluctant to leave. We felt part of the family and community and even visited the local farmers market in Jonesborough where Pat sells her fabulous bakes. Thank you to you all for making this stay so pleasurable and giving us such a wonderful insight to Southern hospitality.

Fantastic stay

No disappointments. Beautiful rustic/historic cabin over a pond. Hosts were there to greet us, gave us homemade treats, explained the history of the property, and were just fantastic people. Loved walking the farm—especially the week old Buffalo. Felt like finding a Diamond. Loved this stay! Slept great!

Rustic Charm

We loved watching the pond from the couch through the big picture glass windows, and a squirrel and a peacock seemed to enjoy watching us too! It's so cozy and charming. Mrs. Pat is charming too. Pay attention when they show you where the light switches are! She was quick to help us when we had a question. We hope to stay there again sometime.

The property was conventionally located off a main road but felt very private and secluded once you cross the covered bridge. The cabin is super cozy and has a back deck overlooking a pond. We loved visiting with all the animals!

Lovely Cabin

We spent a couple of nights at this lovely quaint cabin while traveling through Tennessee. It far exceeded our expectations. A wonderful place to sit back, relax, watch the snow fall and be entertained by the peacocks, read and just enjoy the beauty of the property. Very clean, comfortable, warm and we loved hearing the history of the property. We look forward to returning again as we visit Tennessee.

Mrs. Pat greeted us, gave us a tour of our beautiful cabin, and we adored her! She knew it was my husband's birthday and she had made us homemade cake as a special treat. The cabin was so beautiful with its gorgeous view of the pond, birds, lilly pads, and peacocks walking the grounds!

So so relaxing and amazing.

It was the most relaxing stay we have had in a long time. Pat met us when we got in and made sure we got the lay of the land. The next morning, the peacocks were on the porch, dozens of birds at the feeders, the buffalo, goats and chickens were so cool! Robin, the blacksmith, was able to spend some time with us. We sat in the sunroom and just relaxed. It was just beautiful. We can't wait to get back! That made my husbands birthday just perfect. Thank you Lynch family for the amazing experience.

Peaceful and renewing get away!

We had a wonderful time staying at the Lynch's beautiful and unique cabin. The cabin was a great home base for taking in some of the historic sites at Rocky Mount and Jonesboro. We even made it to the top of Mt.Unaka to Beauty Spot, where we took some amazing after sunset photos .The actual highlight of the trip for me was getting to sit and talk with Johnny about his art and some of his experiences. We hope to make it back again for another stay and to buy another Johnny Lynch print.

We had the absolute best time. Pat and Johnnie are the sweetest, down-to-earth couple. My husband talked their ears off and they just patiently listened. Gave great advice where to find the best antique places. Make sure to schedule a blacksmithing lesson with Robin. You will love it.

Such a gem! ♥️

This is such a classic and dreamy spot to stay. With the oversized pond on the perimeter of the porch just feet from the door to the Buffalo on the hillside and wildlife surrounding the antique style cabin. Absolutely LOVED the spot. Just would have liked to stay longer to watch the blacksmith! So much that I left wanting to book another stay for no specific travel purpose other than to just come back to this small piece of peace. Absolutely recommend to get away from the every day and reality.
