About the host

Hosted by Aaron and Andrea Cornaby

Host profile image
Property owners Andrea and Aaron live on the same 5 acre property (in another house with a shared driveway) far enough away to allow privacy for your group but accessible if you need anything while you're visiting. We have 5 kids from 14-26 and are often buzzing around yet available if you're looking for ideas on what to do or where to eat. We've lived in the area for quite a long time and love East Tennessee and hope you do as well. We hope you love your stay at the A-Frame House!

Why they chose this property

The A-Frame @ Early Acres offers great usage of 2,500 sq. ft. freshly decorated interior space. Features 4 bedrooms, open living/kitchen/dining area/office nook, 2 living room areas, 2.5 baths, full laundry, lots of privacy, tons of parking, lots of natural light, open main living space, modern farmhouse + mid century design accents. The main living room features 2 sets of French doors that lead to a massive wrap around deck with outdoor seating, Weber gas grill, outdoor dining area, and a great view of the surrounding trees and hillside. The owners of this property have put lots of care and attention into making sure you enjoy your stay.

The property overlooks a 60+ fruit tree orchard and a distant tree line about 1,000' ft away. Far enough away to not be a bother are a few colonies of bees that the owner keeps to help pollinate the orchard. Don't worry though as they are only interested in finding the nearest flowering buds. In the back yard up at the crest of the hill are the owners grape vines that are just getting started, along with a few rows of blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries.

Guests frequently comment at how calming, quiet, peaceful as well as how dark it as at night which makes it a great place to stargaze.

What makes this property unique

We offer a peaceful place to relax and unwind while being close enough to great shopping, amazing restaurants and a short drive to the best the Smokies have to offer. Take a quick trip to Gatlinburg, Sevierville, Smoky Mountains, downtown Knoxville, UT, or other nearby places and come back to this welcoming and relaxing home to finish off your day. We're also close to popular Knoxville Wedding venues such as the Quarry, Riverview Farm, Maple Grove, Hunter Valley Farm, Marblegate, and others.

Families and small groups will love this place as it allows for separation in the 4 bedrooms while having a spacious main gathering place on the first and 2nd floors, as well as the large outdoor patio space.
