We had a great visit to this Cottage! It was the perfect size for our family, very clean, and we loved visiting with the horses and goats! We were here this time for a concert downtown and it was very convenient. If we are back in Knoxville, we would definitely stay here again.

The host was absolutely amazing. Quick to respond and she had lots of great ideas we could do as a family. The cottage was adorable with comfy beds, lots of room and all the amenities you need! The outdoor space was amazing and the pleasure of being able to enjoy the animals on the farm was so soothing for all of us 6 plus our dog. Would highly recommend and would go back to stay again.

We were 3 professional men here for the music festival. We spent very little time here except to sleep and shower. Two of the bedrooms have insuite bathrooms, leaving the person in the other bedroom going into the other bedroom to use the toilet. I’m not fond of single ply toilet paper, but otherwise the place was roomy, charming and quiet.

Everything was so nice, especially the location. Close to Knoxville, the airport and nearby towns. Christie was awesome! She was there if you needed anything! Quickly responding to any questions you might have. The property is old, just as written. But it holds so much character it made me feel like I was at home. The kitchen is wonderful, all that you need and more. Having the horses right there was fun to watch. And didn't take much for them to come over and say hi. Carrots are a must - it was fun to feed them. Roosters, turkeys and goats too. It was all very cool. We felt safe and secure there. I would go back there in a heartbeat!

The house was lovely with beautiful, serene surroundings. There are horses on the property, and we were allowed to treat them with apple pieces or carrots. That made the stay even more enjoyable. The house was very clean and so comfortable and homey. Christie was very responsive & friendly. There is a grocery store nearby along with restaurants. If you want the busyness of Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg, they are conveniently close by. However, you’ll love coming back at the end of the day to a peaceful setting.
