The Perfect Mix of B&B and Vacation Cottage! Romance, Privacy & Amenities...

Just 20 miles from Crossville or ten miles from Watts Bar Lake, you'll find a romantic elegantly furnished cottage with private hot tub on a 145 eco-friendly farm and woodlands with spring fed fish pond and hiking trails. The cottage can sleep two-four comfortably and up to six with airbeds added. We call this cottage The Pinecone and it is nestled in a grove of pine trees overlooking a beautiful mountain farm view. This upscale cottage is completely furnished and comes with an equipped kitchen, gas grill, fine linens and eco-friendly B&B amenities. Our nearby farmhouse (far enough away to give you lots of privacy) offers organic and locally produced catering services with delivery to your cottage door or full country breakfasts at our farmhouse. You'll also enjoy DirecTV Hi-Def Flat Screen (200 channels), Gas Fireplace, Ping Pong, Darts, Horse Shoes, Double Hammock, Outdoor Fire Pit, Binoculars, Book Library, and a state of the art purified whole house water system for pristine showers and drinking water. A great getaway! There are no cleaning fees and lots of free amenities are included in our rates including a welcome basket with home-made dark chocolate chip cookies, fresh produce of the season and other goodies!

With stunning mountain farm views, our cottage is located far from the crowds of Gatlinburg and Sevierville, on a 145 acre family farm on Walden's Ridge on the Cumberland Plateau near Watts Bar Lake. Nearby you'll find Gourmet Restaurants, antiques, local crafts, horseback riding, Watts Bar Lake, Cumberland Hiking Trail, Piney and Ozone Waterfalls, Jack Nicklaus Bear Trace and Fairfield Glade Golf Courses and the nationally acclaimed Cumberland Playhouse.

Old timey feeling in the country and simple pleasures will make your special getaway or family vacation extra special. Private Hot tubs, fireplaces, romantic bedrooms and many B&B amenities make this a unique vacation rental. The romantic master bedroom has French doors opening privately to the large private jetted 5 person hot tub on the deck with incredible mountain farm view and an ensuite bathroom with double pedastal sinks and indoor spa jacuzzi tub. A second queen bedroom "The Honey Room" is just down the hall with an adjacent stone porcelain tiled bathroom with full walk in shower with radio. A whole house water purification system ensures healthy drinking water straight from the tap and pristine baths and showers.

Gas outdoor grill and cowboy style firepit. Spring fed secluded fish pond (brim and bass - catch and release) a short five minute hike on property (or quick drive). Our family's nearby farmhouse kitchen, far enough away to give you secluded privacy but close enough to be helpful, offers optional home-made organic and locally raised catering services (Thur-Sun) including full country breakfasts at our farmhouse, home made breads and pizza and "breakfast biscuit and jam picnics" delivered right to your cottage door. We also offer fruit jams, Grandview Mountain Honey, organic coffee, and a variety of pickles for sale at our farmhouse while supplies last.

Grandview offers an idyllic rural setting conveniently close to 20 mile long Watts Bar Lake (boat rentals, fishing, swimming) as well as two state parks (Cumberland and Fall Creek Falls) and local attractions and restaurants. Take a drive on the countryroads in the area and you'll stumble across hidden gems on the plateau, country fairs, restaurants, antique shops and much more. Many hiking trails including sections of the Cumberland Trail nearby with seasonal waterfalls. Nearby Horseback trail riding rentals.

Check out our second cottage rental (Honeysuckle Cottage), a short hike from the Pinecone Cottage on our family website (Property 208199 on VRBO). Our two cottages, each with their own private entrances offer a great secluded retreat for friends and families!

Owner's Map of Crossville

I bought this property when it came up for sale a few years ago as it borders my family's beautiful Cumberland Plateau farm. It was then totally renovated and redecorated. My father "Papa Phil" who lives at the farmhouse nearby helps me manage the property and does the catering services we offer to guests. He is a retired IBM executive who took early retirement in Tennessee in the 1980s. I worked and lived in Paris France for 15 years prior to moving back to TN to start the B&B style vacation rentals on our farm. We know you'll enjoy the beauty of the area as much as we do and will do everything we can to help make your stay extra special.

    • On October 17, 2009, Lee McPherson and I were married in a private ceremony behind Pinecone Cottage. The trees were tipped with crimson and ocher, and the view was spectacular. The crisp fall weather, the rolling hills, the overcast sky, and the bagpiper transported us to faraway Scotland. Our wedding was everything we hoped for, and it would not have been possible without the hospitality and helpfulness of Ilaeka and Papa Phil. Instead of the traditional rehearsal dinner, we had a delicious breakfast on the farmhouse porch the morning after the wedding. Papa Phil and Ilaeka served us family-made sausage, biscuits and gravy, fruit, heirloom flour pancakes, homemade coffee cake, freshly squeezed juice and an array of homemade jams. However, while the accommodations were comfortable, the amenities luxurious, and the food delicious, it was the opportunity to share our special weekend with our gracious hosts that made Grandview Mountain Cottages the perfect choice for our wedding.

    • We live only 45 minutes away from Grandview Cottages but had never heard of them, but oh my, what a surprise when we checked them out for accommodations for our daughter's future inlaws as they planned to come to Tennessee for her wedding. The area was so beautiful, in fact, that we decided to have the wedding ceremony there! The cottages themselves are beautifully and comfortably decorated, with the simplicity that says thoughtfulness and good taste were major factors in the furnishings. Our daughter's wedding was a very special day and owners Phil and Ilaeka were so wonderful to work with--we feel as though they are part of our family! You will not be disappointed if you plan a visit to the cottages--beautiful vistas, nature trails, fishing pond--and a quiet, peacefulness permeates this secluded piece of paradise. You can read all about the amenities on the web site, but what you can't see there is the genuine care and concern Papa Phil and Ilaeka have for their guests. So, go and see for yourselves. You will not be disappointed!

    • What a beautiful place to have a Scottish outdoor wedding! The cool, brisk fall weather added with the bagpipes and a breathtaking view made the experience unforgetable for our family. Our stay was enjoyable from the moment we drove up to the farmhouse where we were greeted with a smile and warm welcome. The cottages were delightful - loaded with everything you could possibly need - and more! It was also the perfect location to bring four young kids (6,4,4 & 4). They loved hiking to the fish pond and waterfalls, building a fire and exploring the farm. They didn't want to come home. We also got to enjoy the most delicous breakfast out on the porch our last morning. It was a fantastic way to end a wonderful weekend! Thank you Ilaeka and Papa Phil! We WILL definitely be making plans to come back. Sincerely, The McPhersons (Axel, Jeanne, Ellie, Brent, Luke and Cale)

    • We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pinecone cottage. Ilaeka and Papa Phil are great hosts. Everything was as good as promised. We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the area. Anyone who enjoys the outdoors and the beauty of the Cumberland Plateau will love to stay here. Make sure to take advantage of the food. It is fantastic! We hope to return sometime.

    • Incomparable! The best ever! Old world elegance in a stunning mountain setting. Pinecone is a luxury resort by itself – the cottage is beautifully and completely furnished with a full complement of amenities that ensure that the needs of either a large, active family or a couple on a romantic weekend are met. Extraordinary value! We live in the Mid-Atlantic region near Washington, D.C. and a comparable cottage on the Chesapeake Bay or in the Shenadoah Valley would be triple the cost and be full all the time. Your hosts are incredibly warm and charming. The country breakfasts, the homemade bread, the fresh baked pizza cannot be missed. We (and all the friends and relatives that we can talk into it) will be back. Our dog loved it too.

    • We thoroughly enjoyed our second stay at Pinecone. I spent some time holding down the new hammock - so it wouldn't fly away of course! This has become a very special retreat for our family. Wish we could stay longer and we look forward to future visits. Thank you, Phil and Ilaeka, for all that you do to make us so very comfortable during our vacation.

    • We really enjoyed our stay in the Pinecone cabin. The house is decorated so beautifully. And the owners have thought of everything someone would need to cook up some great meals. The view off the back deck is beautiful. And we enjoyed the fish pond and the pastures. We would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone.

    • Absolute best value...We have rented several cabins over the years and Pinecone at Grandview Mountain Cottages far exceeds all expectations. Gloriously clean. The host has provided for your every want or need with amazing attention to detail. Nature provides a beautiful background for this special retreat. After a restful stay I feel as though I have secret to share. PINECONE

    • Sophistication, elegance, polish and modern style meet country charm and romance!! The blend is phenomenal! You have thought of everything, and we were so very pleased with our accommodations. The organic atmosphere is a definite plus, including the whole house water filtration system. We felt at home from the moment we walked in the door. The Pinecone Cottage is highly recommended by us, for anyone seeking ultramodern conveniences within the cottage, plus the simple back to nature pleasures of reading for hours in a hammock - and listening to the birds and breezes! We have to mention the hot tub and spa robes, such pampering!! We will definitely be back, to experience the breakfasts everyone is raving about in your guest book. THANK YOU for sharing your cottage with us.
