Spread out in fifty acres of field and forest or curl up by the original rock fireplace in our 1860's log cabin– just minutes from historic downtown Rogersville.

We love East Tennessee, so we take measures to reduce environmental impact and support our neighbors and regional makers.

Enjoy simple, natural pleasures with modern comforts, all while leaving a low ecological footprint.

The space
This 1860's log cabin was moved from Surgoinsville to this spot in the 1970's.

The master bedroom is on the first floor; the other two are upstairs. The home is equipped with two full baths– downstairs has a shower, upstairs a clawfoot tub with a "handshower". We care about cooking, so our kitchen is fully equipped. There is a coal grill and outdoor seating on the patio and a gas fireplace in the living room.

Every room holds furnishings and decor that have been around for decades or more. Please enjoy them gently.

We want your stay to be as comfortable as possible. Feel free to reach out with any questions about your accommodations.

Guest access
Feel free to roam our fifty acres. Walk or jog along the mowed paths to the tree line. Build a fire in the rock fire pit. Watch the sun set on local landmark Devil's Nose mountain from underneath the elm tree.

This is a working farm! While dogs are allowed, please keep in mind we have farm animals which are enclosed in electric fencing. They will be kept far from the cabin during your stay.

Feel free to approach, look at, and photograph the animals but please do not touch them unless we are present!

If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out.

My husband and I are excited to take over the family farm and offer it to friends, family and guest. We are restauranteurs by trade, but find that we love the challenge of branching out to offer lodging and farm weddings. If you are like us and want a farm experience, walk the land, see the night sky, and enjoy some quality time with friends and family, come stay at our Idle Hour Retreat.
