Authentic 100 Year Old Farmhouse, Farm setting in the foothills of the Smokies
Enjoy the beauty of East Tennessee with a stay in this authentic 100 year old farmhouse. Located close to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, but far enough away to get out of the crowds and traffic. Both Douglas and Cherokee Lakes are close by as well as convenient access to Knoxville and Morristown. Enjoy a peaceful vacation, business trip, or fishing excursion while staying on a working farm surrounded by animals and wildlife.
We have made some general updates to a 100+ year old house to provide modern comfort and convenience. However, we wanted to keep the authentic farmhouse charm with our décor. You will find the home furnished with antiques and will notice pictures throughout the house of Henry and Altha Puckett who called this place home from the 1940's until Mrs. Puckett passed away at the age of 103 in 2015.
This property is located on a working farm, so you may see several activities going on during your stay depending on the season. Generally your view will consist of a quiet pasture with cattle grazing and the occasional deer or wild turkey passing through. Plenty of parking is available near the house, we just ask that you do not block access to the barn with your vehicles during the day.
Other things to note: 2.5 miles to I-40 5.5 miles to Douglas Lake 8 miles to Carson-Newman University 12.5 miles to Cherokee Lake 25 miles to Dollywood 27 miles to the University of Tennessee 30 miles to Gatlinburg

Overall we really enjoyed our stay here. It was nice and peaceful and a great location. The owner left a nice basket of food and snacks for us. One small complaint is that there was some sort of alarm chirping loudly at all hours of the day and night, not sure if it was the smoke detector or carbon monoxide or something else.

I’m so sorry about the alarm. It was the battery on the smoke alarm. I wish you had mentioned it to me during your visit. I always leave batteries in case of things like this. I could have told you how to fix it or come to your rescue and took care of it. I am so sorry!
Host bent over backwards to ensure we had a great stay.

Thank you for choosing The Puckett House for a second stay. Thank you for leaving the house in perfect condition. Please come again.
Maybe next time won’t include a hurricane named Helene. I definitely appreciate your understanding of losing power. We are thankful for your repeat stay.
The Puckett House was so perfect in every way! The entire house was spotless, had everything we could ever need and more, just a perfect view from that porch swing. Beautiful, peaceful place to stay!

We loved the absolutely beautiful farm setting. The home was comfortable and unique. We felt at ease and especially enjoyed the swing on the front porch. The home is the perfect place for relaxing, but close to all the fun that East Tennessee has to offer!
Everything you need was provided, clean and very cute great front porch and the farmhouse was very accommodating. We plan to book it again next year
