Dixie’s cottage was a perfect place for us to stay. Very clean, comfortable, and we loved waking up to the birds and seeing Dixie the pony right outside the windows. The cottage is wonderful!
This property was beautiful and unique. It was a nice place to stay for a beautiful wedding in Mount Pleasant. For a pet friendly home it was very clean! And although we didn’t get to stay and hang out in the actual home for as long as we wanted, it was fitting for our stay for the weekend. We would stay again if we ever had to come back to the area.
This was a fantastic stay and the location was perfect. The home was very clean and neat, and Dixie was a fantastic neighbor! I would recommend this location to anyone!

Thank you, Ryan! We (especially Dixie!) would love to have you back on the farm anytime!
We absolutely loved our stay in Dixie’s Cabin! So peaceful especially sitting in the rocking chairs & around the fire pit! The cabin was immaculate! I highly recommend this cabin when in the Columbia area!

Thank you so much for staying with us, David! We are so glad that you had a peaceful stay. Please come again soon!
We enjoyed our stay very much. We were close to all the activities we wanted to see and do. The cabin was very functional for our needs. Enjoyed the farm setting quiet and peaceful.
This was our second time staying at Muletown Farm in Dixie’s Cabin! It’s clean, cozy, and the perfect getaway. We do hope to visit again as we’ve fallen in love with the farm and Columbia!
We had a great time on the farm. The grounds are beautiful and cabin was as advertised. Our little one absolutely loved the horses and chickens. We will be back!
The cabin was clean and spacious, and the location was ideal. Everything was true as advertised, the pictures and the description. Can't wait to try out the other cabin sometime too.
Quaint, historic and beautiful. My sibling and family stayed at two locations on the property- we easily visited each other and enjoyed the animals, fire pits and energy of Muletown Farm.
We love Muletown Farm. It’s such a fantastic alternative to the hotels in Columbia. We stay in Columbia for many softball tournaments and Muletown Farm is much more relaxing and such a family friendly alternative. Chris and Holly were wonderful hosts and so friendly.
Booked in conjunction with other houses on property for extended family attending wedding nearby. Would book again. Everything as advertised and better! Great experience - lots of places for family to gather, create memories and still space to have downtime when needed. Highly recommend!

Hi! We’re the Browns. We fell in love with this 31-acre farm in 2017 and knew right away it was something special. We were looking for a peaceful place to slow down and get away from the busyness of life, and this land became that for our family. Now we love sharing it with guests who just need a place to relax, breathe a little deeper, and enjoy a little farm life for a few days.
Why they chose this property
One of the things we love most about this farm is you're just a short drive from Nashville and Franklin but when you come back here, life slows down.
We came here thinking we were going to restore an old farm, but the truth is this place restored us too. That’s the kind of peace we hope people find when they visit.
What makes this property unique
This farm has quite a story behind it. The land was originally part of a larger parcel granted by George Washington to Colonel Grant for his leadership during the Revolutionary War.
Over time, the property made its way to the Armstrong family, who came here from South Carolina and worked the land for many years. Local history also says that Davy Crockett spent many nights here on the farm while traveling through the area, which is one of our favorite stories connected to this place.
It's pretty amazing to think about the people who have gathered on this farmover the years. There’s something about this place that sparks creativity. The quiet and history of the farm inspired my husband to write a book while we were in the process of restoring it.
Eventually the farm was owned by Dr. George, a beloved livestock veterinarian in Maury County. For decades, Dixie’s Cottage actually served as his veterinary clinic. After he passed away, the farm sadly fell into disrepair for a time, until we began slowly bringing it back to life.
When we found it, we could see the history and the potential right away. Since then, we’ve been slowly bringing the farm back to life and turning it into the kind of peaceful hobby farm and gathering place we knew it could be.
Our hope is that when people come here they can slow down, breathe a little deeper, enjoy the land, and leave feeling a little more refreshed than when they arrived. And if you stay with us, you’re really becoming part of the next chapter in the farm’s story.
