About this property

Step back in time a charming 1880 historic cabin

Imagine spending a few nights living like David Crockett or Daniel Boone in the Tennessee Foothills with a fire in the fireplace and nestled on a horse farm by a trickling creek. Rustic but with modern conveniences such electric stove, clawfoot bathtub, central air and heat. Great views and a porch swing. Loft bedroom, washer and dryer, Microwave and coffee maker and stocked kitchen with an outdoor gas grill. Just 2 miles from historic Jonesborough, Tennessee's oldest town. We ask for at least 2 night stays on the weekends. One night is ok weekdays.

beautiful

We were expecting an old cabin located on an open space. We were amazed beyond our imagination with the cabin. It is incredible. the location wasn't as open as we thought, but it was beautiful. Very relaxing location. Cabin was full of a lot of stuff from dishes, bedding, games, and even some food. Very happy with our stay. Would definitely rent again if we get back tothat area.

Very relaxing

We needed somewhere to unwind that we could also take our three fur babies. Couldn't have asked for a better escape! The sunrises, the sunsets, The horses right out the window. Just enough modern convenience blended in to an 1880's escape. Our fur babies loved the walks of the gravel driveway every morning and night. The horses would come over to greet us. Cuddling up to a warm fire was just the perfect touch to end each day. We plan to come back!
