About this property

Secluded Area on Upper Kings River @ Chimney Mill Cabin. . . Quiet & Peaceful

Chimney Mill Cabin is located in a secluded and remote area at the upper head of Kings River, high in the beautiful mountains of Madison County. Our cabin is surrounded by a peaceful, quiet setting, that introduces you to the sound of the river and abundance of nature. Sitting on the wrap-around porch, enjoying the quiet tranquility in the natural wilderness area--relatively untouched by man--brings a feeling of peace and contentment and makes one not want to leave.

Chimney Mill Cabin is named for the old grist mill that once stood at Kings River Falls. The cabin will accommodate 8 overnight guests in 2 king beds, 1 queen bed, 1 futon bed, and 2 and 1/2 baths. It features a fully equipped kitchen, large farm table in dining area seats 10, second table seats 4, kitchen island seats 4, electric fireplace, Dish Satellite Service, and wrap-around porch (the south side is screened in). Wrap-around porch has several chairs and tables that allows one to sit and enjoy the wildlife and listen to the river. The cabin is only a few feet from Kings River close to the Buffalo National River Area and many well-known hiking trails. This is the perfect place for hikers to enjoy the popular hiking trails in this area.

Time has changed many things, but not the beauty of the Kings River area. The river still tumbles clear and pure over the rocks. Several smaller waterfalls lead the way to the largest fall known as "Kings River Falls." The old grist mill, known as Chimney Mill, once stood where Kings River Falls is located. Here the water cascades over the rocks into a pool of clear blue-green water. This is an ideal location for those who love to hike and see the "beauty of the wilderness." Kings River Falls area is a hiker's paradise.

About the host

Hosted by Jerry and Joan Johnson

Host profile image
We both grew up in this area. Both families' ancestors came to this area in the late 1800 and early 1900s. We retired from our job about 2 years ago. My husband retired from trucking and I from teaching. We finished building our cabin in October 2014. We wanted something to help supplement our retirement years and allow others to enjoy the beauty and quietness of the area.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I inherited this land from my step-mother and dad after their deaths. My step-mother lived on this place for 62 years--10 years as a widower. She and my dad lived here together for 22 years. This piece of land has a lot of historical ties to this part of the area. This area has long been visited by many who loved to hike and see the natural beauty of the wilderness area--relatively untouched by man.

What makes this property unique

Chimney Mill Cabin is located by the historical, old homestead known as the Squire Burton Williams Homeplace. Looking out from the wrap-around porch, you can see the old house and cemetery, which is the resting place for many who helped settle this rugged area of Madison County.

We have added several items to the cabin that makes it a unique and special place--the old Kings River Falls sign that used to be at the old parking lot (a head board for the bed upstairs), old gate from the garden spot (headboard in the green room), old barn wood (used for kitchen cabinets and island) from the old barn that once stood where the cabin is today, the old kitchen sink and white cabinet was my grandmother's and the fireplace mantle was a hewed log from the old barn. The porch swing also has special meaning--retirement gift from my coworkers, when I retired from teaching. As you can see, this cabin has a lot of unique features that makes it a special place for our family.
