Wee Nook is a 360 square foot living space with a full kitchen and bathroom. It is tucked underground in the middle of the woods. Please come enjoy the woods, farm animals, trails, pond and wide open space while you're here!

As JRR Tolkien said: “In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hold, and that means comfort.”

The space
Wee Nook is a 360 sq foot house with a full kitchen, bath, queen bed and sofa. It boasts the most quiet spot on our property, with a lovely pavilion for outdoor sitting in the middle of the woods. The hobbit hole has a live roof, and several eatable plantings around this space for enjoying in spring and summer months. The fire pit in back allows guests to sit back and listen to nature while enjoying "nature's tv" (a fire).

Guests can enjoy walking the trails around and through the 220 acre property. As well as visiting the pond for fishing and swimming, the horses and highland cows.

We have a cream and white dog, LeeLoo, that has free range of the property. She will most likely greet you upon your arrival or join you on your walk. She's very sweet and social, she just wants to meet everyone! She will bark.

*Because of the uniqueness of our property, we REQUEST that all guests (only the person booking) sign the liability waiver sent to them two days before their arrival.

**There is NO INTERNET OR TV in this space. There is also VERY LITTLE CELL PHONE SERVICE! We recommend bringing books, games, journals or small hobbies. If weather is supposed to be rainy you might consider bringing a computer with movies DOWNLOADED on it. (Or one with dvd capabilities.)

We are 15 miles from Loretta Lynn’s Ranch/ Waverly (west of us), 30 miles from Dickson, Tn (east of us) and an hour from Nashville (east).

Guest access
We are located on 220 acres of Tennessee farm land. Trails through and around the property for hiking. Garden, farm beef and fresh chicken eggs available as the season allows. Pond for swimming and fishing. Beef from our cattle is available for purchase as well, though cuts may be limited.

Other things to note
The power has a habit of going out in inclement weather or strong winds. It doesn’t normally stay out for longer than 2-3 hours. In the country, if the power is out, so is the water. So you will not be able to flush the potty during an outage. We provide candles, flash lights, puzzles and books for your entertainment during the outages. We’re sorry for the inconvenience but if your power is out, so is ours. We feel your pain and frustration.

The closest grocery store is 10 miles away. We suggest going to the store BEFORE you arrive and getting essential food items! We have suggestions for where to shop both locally and regionally listed in the guide book! The guide book can be found by clicking our profile picture and scrolling down to "Guide Book"

THERE IS NO INTERNET ACCESS in this space. There is also NO TV and VERY LITTLE CELL SERVICE! Please plan accordingly!

There is a $40 pet fee ($80 for three or more pet guests.) The pet fee can be paid in cas, check (made out to RockNRefuge, or digital pay @RockNRefugeLLC). We also ask that you bring something to cover the furniture if your pup is accustomed to being on the sofa or bed. Pets MUST be up to date on flea and tick medication before you arrive!!! Please read through all the pet rules before your arrival!!

Check in is flexible. We TRY to accomodate early check in when we can ...just ask us if it's doable!

Check out is at 10am unless otherwise discussed with us.

Please feel free to share any photos of your time on our farm to our social media page, Rock 'N Refuge, @rock_n_refuge or #rocknrefuge #weenook

We do have eggs and beef from our farm animals if you'd like to purchase any of those items. (Please note that depending on the time of year eggs may be unavailable and beef may be sparse).

Your first load of firewood is free, but any subsequent load of wood after that will be $10 cash.
