Map & Owner's Profile
Tom T. Hall Cabin. Rustic, Luxurious, Water Front Log Home.
Year Purchased: 1997
Why the Owner Chose Oneida
After living on the North Florida Coast and observing what made vacation rentals succeed I spent years looking for a new development in the Tennessee mountains. I wanted undiscovered country since Gatlinburg reminded me too much of Panama City Beach. Sharing space, restaurants and Highways with millions of tourists was not my idea of relaxing. While driving in North East Tennessee one weekend I happened onto the Big South Fork National River and Recreational Area after being lost. This was the beautiful secluded river with high bluffs, incredible natural settings (but no tourists) I had dreamed about. Bought the land, created a large pond between the ridges and built a fantastic log home. The legendary singer/song writer, Tom T. Hall, liked it so much he said I could name it after him if he and Dixie could stay and write songs from time to time. Great folks - very generous arrangement.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
This is the most relaxing place you could ever imagine. I tell people there's nothing to do but ya don't have enough time to do it all. I usually never leave the cabin for days at a time after hiking, swimming, fishing, love cooking in that kitchen, reading, and playing music - there is a great Yamaha upright piano that fills the home with harmonics. Sitting in the hot tub gazing at night skies that are like nothing I've ever seen in the south. You can pick out satellites and shooting stars streaming across the heavens. Rocking outside on the covered porches or out on the dock reading while enjoying the north western breezes enjoying the quite solitude makes for the perfect get a way from it all vacation I've ever experienced. It's a hard place to leave once you've unwound. I also wanted to provide a place that families would enjoy for gatherings and vacations. Kids really love the pond and hiking into the Big South Fork Park, horseback trail riding and the train to the old mining camp in Stearns KY are highlights for guests. And of course the Big South Fork River for rafting and white water canoeing is spectacular. There are beautiful hiking trails along the river to Angle Falls and other points that are considered the best trails in the country.

I have been looking for this cabin for years! It was everything I hoped for and more. We were so happy with our week and so were our dogs. We felt as if we were staying at someones home, we were never uncomfortable. I own my own business and wanted to escape the real world, I did just that. Dennis was very helpful and friendly.

This is the second time we have stayed at Tom T Hall and it is by far the best vacation getaway possible. Dennis makes sure everything is just right for you. It is the perfect place to get a way from the rest of the world and just relax and let your body renew itself. We used the traeger grill numerous times, we even made cookies on it. They were so yummy! The pork tenderloin we smoked was superb! Try a turkey....can't beat it. So bring your favorite book, fishing poles, hiking boots, whittling knife, whatever you like and ENJOY!
Owner response:Freddie and Karen are great guests and sometimes good at fishing... Thanks so much for the photo of the Bass your son caught and the kinds words. The Traeger Grill has been a real highlight for everyone the past month.

Our family met at the Tom T. Hall for our annual vacation together. We had a marvelous time. There was plenty of room for everyone; it was great to be able to sit down at one table for meals.The kitchen was one of the best equipped kitchens we've come across. The kids loved the pond, especially the rope swing. We hiked, cooked many of our meals outside, went white water rafting, eating s'mores by the firepit, and pitching horseshoes. Just sitting on the porch in the swing and rockers was so relaxing! Our dogs enjoyed being able to go about the property without the confines of a leash. We would definitely recommend this cabin for others, especially with a large group.
Owner response:It was a pleasure getting to know these folks. Cynthia lives just 30 miles north of where I grew up in the Florida Panhandle so we would have fun talking about old times and the good people from LA. (Lower Alabama). I really don't have renters, I have friends that stay at my cabin... and they tip well.

My husband and I just got back from a 4 night stay at the Tom T Hall Cabin. Dennis is right you will not want to leave. The cabin was Perfect. It was so clean and very spacious. The cabin was well stocked with everything that you could possible want. We enjoyed our morning and evening down by the lake. We also enjoyed the hot tub. I enjoyed feeding the fish as well as catching them. We left the window open and it was so nice to hear the birds and the wind blowing through the trees, and when it rained it was so relaxing to hear. We are looking forward to coming back real soon.
Owner response:Great to have you all for your post-Birthday get away. Cicadas have somehow avoided a Tom T. Hall Cabin Vacation so far!!

We are so lucky to have found the Tom T Hall cabin and the owner Dennis. Words cannot express how relaxed you are here. I could sit for hours on the dock watching my dog swim happily around the pond with my husband. So tranquil and wonderful. The cabin has the everything one could desire and a fabulous stocked kitchen with the spices you would need to prepare your meals. The area is wonderful and Big South Fork cannot be beat. If you like traffic and noise this is not the place for you. This is about letting your hair down, oh yea and maybe catching a fish or two! Paula and Troy Knoxville, TN
Owner response:A wonderful perk of renting your vacation home is making new friends. Paula and Troy are a true treasure for me and I am honored that they care about my property the way they do. Stay tuned for a new song folks!!!

When I began my random fantasy for a perfect getaway weekend, I imagined the following components: • remote location, untouched by giant malls and familiar commerce at every corner • cabin by the lake • eggs, bacon, steak, coffee, etc., inside said cabin, ensconced by woods and water The Tom T. Hall cabin experience nailed it, on every count. But I'm sure there are other reviews that say as much. Instead I wanna take a second to talk about the OTHER aspect of this experience that made it so good: the owner, Dennis. First of all, if part of the purpose of a trip like ours (five college buddies, a depressing 12 years since graduation) is to relax, it doesn't help if your landlord is exceedingly untrusting, uptight, and full of do's and don'ts. Dennis was the exact opposite. His love for the cabin and genuine interest in his guests' experience was evident from the first interaction. And silly though it may sound, it affected the overall experience tremendously. A real joy. He called to check in on us, gave us up-to-date suggestions for restaurants, things to do, etc. I can't remember the last time that happened, ever (and I've been on plenty getaway weekends). The town of Oneida is... not... bustling. The crew I was with came in from Los Angeles, Chicago, Tokyo, and Washington, DC... i.e., we're all used to certain amenities. Those looking for things to do, bars to hang out in, restaurants aplenty to choose from, etc... may be in for a surprise. Luckily, we were not desperate for any of those things. Oneida's simplicity hit the spot. As cooking enthusiasts, we made ourselves at home and cooked up a storm and have the waistbands to prove it. For a remote cabin getaway experience, I'm not sure it gets much better than this. What's more, we stayed inside the cabin virtually the entire time, so we didn't even really explore the activities that WERE available (perhaps more activities would have been available in the summer rather than the winter). The point is, it says something about the cabin that we didn't get bored once over a long three-day weekend. Amazing and accommodating owner. Lovely home. Incredible woods. Extreme remoteness. Fantastic all around escape. We will be back for sure to try our hand at a different season, perhaps with fishing rods in tow. Thanks again, Dennis, for a great experience and a nice reminder that being passionate about something can be contagious.
Owner response:Wow! What incredibly kind words. These guys were a delight to have as guests and took very good care of my cabin. It wasn't mentioned that they sang together in college so the piano was something that attracted them as well. Thank you so much for such generous words.

My husband i very much enjoyed our trip. We had an amazing time hiking, fishing, on the scenic railway, watching the sun rise and set in the hot tub, and my personal favorite was roasting marshmallows by the fire. The cabin was incredible and i hope to visit again!!!...very soon!!!
Owner response:It is a pleasure to know that many honeymoons have taken place at the my cabin. It is a very romantic and peaceful place. This smart bride to be booked a year in advance and listed it as one of her wedding presents so it could be paid for as gifts. Great idea!!!!

A Perfect Getaway for Hikers

I've now visited Tom T. Hall Cabin probably close to a dozen times over the past five years, and can unequivocally say it's awesome and I cannot wait to return! It's comfortable, clean and conveniently located for access to the park. I was especially grateful for that on my most recent visit, when we hiked every day along the Pilot/Wines trail. Heading north and east from the cabin, Pilot Rock is probably two or three miles away and it's spectacular. But we also enjoyed the view of the gorge from the Bronco Overlook. We never had to get in our cars to see some of the park's most stunning views. The beds are comfy; the hot tub is pristine. Everything about Tom T. Hall is conducive to good times and relaxation. Thank you, Dennis Sheffiled, for your gracious hospitality. You thought of every detail.
Owner response:Thank you so much Jane, It's always wonderful to host your family but I am so pleased you were able to come with your girlfriends for a girls only get-a-way from it all.

The owner of this beautiful home away from home, is most concerned that everyones stay is off the chart. You can see this in his excellent communications skills, quality of comfortable beds and bedding and a squeaky clean cabin. I rent 4-5 cabins a year and this one has been the most complete for us. There are no other cabins in sight, no other sounds to be heard other than what nature wants you to hear. You and your group will simply love that cabin, any time of year.

Thanks Dennis! We are a group of four women who have been meeting for a girls weekend for 10 years. Your cabin has been our favorite. The kitchen is very well stocked. To our delight the beds are very comfortable, we all got a well needed rest from the first night. The attention to detail is amazing. Even the bathrooms have lights over the tubs! Thanks again, Darla, Donna, Lee Lee & Melissa
Owner response:Girl's Time at the cabin has become more popular... as has Boy's Time. I guess we could call it "Pink" and "Blue" time but it's a terrific place for "Purple" as well. No matter what your flavor we are Playing Your Song at the Tom T. Hall Cabin - Come Join Us!
