Farmhouse Gallery & Gardens
As you drive through the covered bridge and enter our 73-acre family farm nestled between the mountains, you will understand why we want to share this special place with our guests. A nature-lover’s dream, our log cabin studio art gallery by the pond is now available for overnight stays — a unique opportunity to experience the artist’s inpiration.
The gallery has a separate, private guestroom with a queen sized bed, cozy bathroom with shower, small fridge with freezer, microwave, and single-serve coffee and tea maker with complimentary pods. The guestroom is connected to the gallery but has a separate keyless entry to the outside. After hours access to the common area is available for the enjoyment of our guests. A porch with table and chairs is also available for relaxing outdoors.
We live in an area rich in history, and the cabin dates back 250 years. We have always landscaped for wildlife and provided food and habitat for multiple species. Gardening has always been a key ingredient in our lifestyle, as well as cooking, canning, art, antiques and music. We also have a small buffalo herd, and Sammy Fathead, our buffalo bull, is always happy to greet visitors who come with us to his pasture. We have an authentic, working log cabin blacksmith shop, where our son Robin produces beautiful and functional artistic metal work. Johnny has been a wildlife artist for over 40 years, and his watercolors, prints, and pencil drawings are in the gallery, as well as the metalwork and other items we make here on the farm. Pat has had a commercial kitchen and catered and baked on site for nearly thirty years — you might get lucky and time your visit on a baking day, when she is preparing her goodies for a local farmer’s market. We look forward to welcoming you to our farm!

Loved this place and the host was super sweet! We were personally greeted by our host Pat. We had everything we needed and she even had freshly baked blueberry muffins and apple juice. The view overlooking the pond with the peacocks was so serene. Being able to disconnect was what we were looking for during our stay. We look forward to coming back and staying again.
Rustic, eclectic, cozy, welcoming, unique....this was one of our favorite VRBO experiences. Despite having had a flash flood on their property just a few days previous to our stay, Pat and Johnny were so welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed seeing their bison herd, the goats, chickens, peacocks (especially the little ones) and all of the other amazing creatures on their property. We stayed in what was once Johnny's Art Studio which has an amazing pond right out back full of turtles, fish, geese, beavers and otters. Pat welcomed us when we pulled in, showed us around a bit and told us where everything was located on the property. She is a baker extraordinaire and had made us cranberry and granola bars for breakfast. The bed was cozy. Johnny's art was bountiful, and beautiful. There was so much to see and experience. We both said that we wish that we had a couple more days to stay so that we could help with the clean up from the flash flood. Which, by the way, had no effect on our stay but had an impact on their property. We truly hope to get to stay here again. Highly recommend it.
Room was clean and comfortable. Host was pleasant and helpful.

Hi,
We want to make all of our guests comfortable and for them to have a very good experience while staying. Please let me know how we can improve and how you were disappointed.
Clean as a whistle. The sitting room next to the pond was a wonderful place to relax and meditate. The grounds were lush with peacocks, buffalo, and goats, but best off all we came across a swath planted in buckwheat, my favorite cover crop. If you like to visit antique stores you will love sleeping in one. I almost forgot the covered bridge with its traditional mortise and tenon construction. Pretty cool. Centrally located also for the sites of jonesborough, a Johnson City, and Elisabethton.
We loved the nostalgia associated with the stay, from the old country store and the log cabin. The place was peaceful and serene. The location was filled with animals and beautiful plants. A great place to relax and unwind from the world. Also enjoyed the artwork and crafts.
Beautiful setting. Quiet. Unique.Turn into drive comes up suddenly, so slow down a quarter mile away.There is a small microwave for reheating food, but no dishes or utensils in the "kitchen". The fridge is dorm sized. If you have mobility issues, this could be a challenging site. Steps into cabin are uneven and quite tall. The steps from bedroom to kitchen area are flagstone and uneven steps down.Pay close attention when they explain where the light switches are and what they control as they are quite unusual and not labeled. Bring your own flashlight for safety after dark.
Such a wonderful experience!! The cabin was cozy and comfy! Pat is a lovely hostess, super friendly, helpful and so knowledgeable about the area. Will definitely stay again on our next trip to TN!
There are no words or enough stars for this magical cabin or the extraordinary hosts. Pics do not do it justice. It can only be described as a slice of heaven on earth. I only wish I could’ve stayed longer but I can’t wait to go back. Thank you for letting me recharge my soul and opening your homestead to me. Xo
Great peaceful place to stay prior to my son’s graduation from ETSU! Beautiful grounds and hospitable owners. Even provided a delicious homemade treat!! I would love to return!!
Ms. Pat was so wonderful and even left us a few goodies in the frig! The cabin was beautiful with its display of her husband’s artwork; he is very talented. We loved seeing the animals and a woodpecker even visited. Great little vacation!
Wow! what a great place. It was easy, comfortable and tranquil. Pat was helpful and interesting. Her homemade granola bars are amazing. Wish we had more time. Next time!
Pat is an amazing host- everything perfect and thoughtful! The cabin and stay - wonderful and refreshing. Comfortable, clean and just right. Looking forward to a longer stay in the future. If you have the chance to stay here do so. You will love it!
I have been traveling and staying around the world for many decades and I must say that this was one of the most enjoyable and relaxing stays anywhere! From the animals to the old cabin with all of its precious antiques, we cannot wait until our next visit! Patricia and her family were beyond friendly and just made us feel so welcomed!
