Occasionally, you can enjoy watching our local herd of deer as they play in the field.
First of all, I love my guests. I will do everything I possibly can to make your experience comfortable and memorable. I have many repeat guests that are like family to me.
That being said...I will give you total privacy unless you are interested in meeting.

The barn is yours to enjoy and you may come and go as you please but I am usually close by if you need anything.

This was our second visit and we absolutely love the property. The check in and check out process is smooth and easy. The property is always exceptionally clean. It has everything on site to come and just relax. The views from the porch are fantastic. If you are looking for a quiet place to relax, this is the property for you. We will be returning again.

This is by far the nicest rental we've stayed in and has absolutely earned every 10/10 rating they've received. Jeanne has gone above and beyond to make sure everything you need is there and that you're stay is relaxing and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The recliners were a great touch. The location was very quiet and secluded but only 10 min from stores and restaurants. We can't recommend this place highly enough. If you need a place to stay in the area this is it!

We really enjoyed our stay and left with hopes of returning in the future. The area and the view were exceptionally beautiful. Jeanne made sure we understood her place well with little notes and afforded us the privacy level of our choice. She made us feel very appreciated. This place is a rare find that is clean and cozy. We had been traveling a bit and took special note of the comfy chairs and bed. We concur with the 10 out of 10 rating for Jeanne’s place.

Where do I begin? This was the most peaceful and relaxing stay I have ever experienced on vacation. The view was captivating. It was so quiet and peaceful outside. We stayed for couple of days and didn’t turn on the TV once! Everything was carefully thought out: fully stocked kitchen, extra blankets and pillows, towels, etc. Speaking of the kitchen, if you like to cook, the double ovens and deep sinks will get any meal out quickly. The bed was so comfortable it was easy to fall asleep quickly. The host was absolutely amazing. She sent the information early so check in was a breeze. We had privacy throughout the stay. There were notes around the home so you didn’t have to reach out for anything. Plus she had muffins waiting for us which was welcomed after long travel day. I can see why this property is so highly rated and will be visiting again very soon!

We absolutely loved our stay here for my birthday getaway. The property was quiet, peaceful, and offered beautiful views of rolling terrain, birds, cows in the distance, and mountains beyond. It was the perfect setting to unwind and celebrate.Our host, Jeanne, was wonderfully responsive and accommodating, and she even left delicious homemade blueberry muffins for us at check-in, which was such a thoughtful touch. The space itself was comfortable and well-kept.While the property is about 10 miles out in the country, it still felt very convenient and centrally located to the places we visited, including Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Townsend, and Maryville.We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat, and we definitely plan to stay here again the next time we visit the area!

A very kind and helpful host! She had information posted everywhere about extra towels and blankets, what to do for checkout, and anything else inbetween. She was very thoughtful as well, leaving little drinks and snacks for guests, she had ground coffee with creamer as well. The home had lovely decor with a lot of plants and happy colors and was the perfect size for the two of us. It felt very farmhouse to match the location it was at. Such a peaceful place, at night you couldn’t hear anything and there were so many stars to look at! It was pretty convenient to get most places as well. Would highly recommend this cute little spot if you’re coming to the area! Thank you Jeanne!!!

About the host

Hosted by Jeanne LeDoux-Hickman

Host profile image

I love to travel. I've been to most states in the US and over 14 other countries. My adult kids introduced me to airbnb when we took a trip together through Spain, Andorra, and France. I was so impressed that people, from other parts of the world, would open their homes to complete strangers. It helped refresh my trust in others. Now, we open our "barn-do-minium" to you. We have had the most amazing experiences with our guests. People from The Netherlands, Vermont, Washington State, and on and on and on. (Please read our reviews on airbnb)

Why they chose this property

Have you ever stayed in a barn? This is your chance. New built/no animals. You can gaze out the kitchen window and see cattle on the hill with the mountains in the background. Go explore the tourist attractions and then come "home" to peace and quiet.

What makes this property unique

I feel so blessed to be able to live on this beautiful piece of land. The location is perfect. We can be in major tourist areas within 20 - 25 minutes but we don't have to "live" there! It's always so nice to come home....I think you will feel that way too.
