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.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

Guest: Mandy (Franklin, TN)
Date of Stay: 12/16/11 Review Submitted: 12/19/11

My husband and I were seeking a much needed change of scenery around the Christmas holidays after losing our daughter in May. The Grandview Mountain Cottages are the perfect escape. We stayed in Pinecone Cottage, which looked as if it were right out of a magazine. It was very clean, cozy, decorated impeccably and had every amenity imaginable. The owners went out of their way to make sure our stay was everything we hoped it would be. The setting is breathtaking, and it was quiet and private. We highly recommend it and can't wait to go back!

Owner response:So happy you had such a good time and best wishes for happy holidays! Look forward to seeing you next year!

I and three of my girlfriends stayed at this wonderful rental....we could not have had a more comfortable, relaxing, welcoming place to stay! The hosts have thought of everything! From the fabulous decor, comfortable beds, welcome basket, relaxing hot tub and deck, hiking trails, nice well equipped kitchen, to Papa Phil's breakfast and pizzas and the eco friendiness....we had it all!! The hosts are very accommodating and friendly and the rental process was smooth as silk! We will def return here!

Owner response:Had a great visit with these lovely ladies and glad they found some time to enjoy the cottage and farm trails as they were busy hitting the many yard sales set up near us that weekend for the four state Hwy 127 "largest yard sale" in the country that runs through here every first weekend in August! As we are just 15 minutes drive from Hwy 127 it made a nice retreat to use as a base for their antique hunting! Hope to see them all back again soon!

wonderful peaceful retreat, exceptional hospitality

Guest: Dave, Kim, & Carl (Paisley, FL)
Date of Stay: 07/02/11 Review Submitted: 07/10/11

We stayed at the pinecone cottage for a week. During the stay we were pleasantly surprised at the detail that Ileaka and Papa Phil included in their property. We didn't need a thing except our clothes. The cottage was goregeous. The appliances, decor, linens, bedding, etc. were exquisite. The additional touches were wonderful as well. We had a bowl of fresh blueberries and delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies awaiting our arrival. The farm is beautiful, we picked blueberries and snacked on them all week. We had a deer visit every morning, eating berries from the backyard. The hot tub was a relaxing way to end the day and unwind... Papa Phil and Ilaeka were great hosts, they gave us our privacy but we all the while were very helpful and attentive. She made us reservations at the Wildwood Stables for trail riding, it was an awesome experience and very affordable. The cottage was also filled with tons of area information. Finally, the simple things such as organic soaps, shampoos, cleaners, etc. were an unexpected treat as well. Papa Phil and Ilaeka, we truly enjoyed our visit and will DEFINITELY return as well as send our friends. Until next time.....

Owner response:Thanks so much! We try to give our guests the best of both worlds...privacy but help when they need it. We love having our guests come back over and over again! It is kind of like having an extended family and we really enjoy all the wonderful guests who come from all over to stay here.

Eco and pet friendly. Who could ask for more?

Guest: Rebecca75 (-)
Date of Stay: 06/11/11 Review Submitted: 06/12/11

This place is fantastic! Details abound at the farm from the signage around the property to the interior decorations. Throughout the cottage the flooring is gorgeous and will make you jealous that it's not in your home. A detail that I appreciated is the water purification system. The eco-friendly attitude of the owners is one that needs to be adopted by many more folks in my opinion. Man's best friend is welcome at this property and your doggies will love it. Their willingness to accommodate my last minute request is proof the that owners are running a first class operation. You won't be disappointed if you choose to stay at Grandview Mountain Cottages.

Owner response:We offer cottages that are eco-friendly with water purification systems so you can drink from the tap and and bath in pristine clean non chlorine water. We use only non toxic cleaning products and pest control products. We thoroughly clean the cottages with hepa filter sytems and eliminate any doggie odors after our 4 legged friends have stayed with us. Folks who don't bring their pets say they cannot believe we allow pets as there is no trace left behind. So both pet owners and non pet owners are happy in our country cottages on the Cumberland Plateau! The floors are made from different widths of white pine eco harvested from our forest and wood pegged down and we think they are pretty too!

Weekend Get-Away

Guest: TN & NC Gang (Shelbyville,TN)
Date of Stay: 06/03/11 Review Submitted: 06/09/11

This place is absolutely wonderful. The pictures do not do it justice! My husband and I wanted a quick get-away to celebrate our 24th anniversary. Ilaeka was quick to help us make some last minute plans. When we arrived she showed us to our cottage and it was perfect. The cottage is decorated just like a picture from Southern Living. The master bath and bedroom are a perfectly romantic place. My second favorite place was the hot tub! It is super nice. The view is beautiful from the deck. The cabin is well-maintained and very clean. It is stocked with all kinds of extras you don't find in most rental places. If you want to leave your worries behind and spend some quiet time in the outdoors this is the place to go. We went to the pond and hiked on the trails. I can not wait to return to this perfect cottage.

Owner response:We are so glad you had a nice visit and appreciate your wonderful comments! Come back again soon! Ilaeka and Papa Phil

Wonderful

Guest: Helen & Troy (Miami, Florida)
Date of Stay: 11/22/10 Review Submitted: 01/13/11

Our stay was wonderful. My husband, myself, our daughter & son-in-law and our 2 grandchildren had everything that we could need. The minute we walked in the door the kids thought that the Foyer Checker Board table & chairs were especially for them. The decor throughout the cottage was like something you see out of a country charm magazine. The cottage is stocked with everything from kitchen towels, coffee and teas to spa towels, bath robes and resort bedding and linens. The minute you enter the cottage you feel a sence of tranquility and the assurance of a special and memorable time. The view from the back is breathtaking. We hiked the beautiful mountain trail around the property and fished at the pond to see who caught the most fish. We all had so much fun. Thank you so much for the welcome basket of oranges and Papa Phil's baked cookies. The fresh baked bread and home made jellys & jams were an excellant treat for our Holiday stay. Papa Phil & Ileika are wonderful people. Because our time was limited I can't wait to come back to enjoy the things that I was not able to do. Thank you both so much for your Hospility and making us feel at home.

Owner response:Papa Phil and I love having families meet up here and enjoy each other's company relaxing and exploring and staying cozy in the Pinecone cottage! We had a great time with your family and look forward to seeing you all again!

Upon arrival as we headed down a long drive my first thoughts were "What have I done", soon we came up on an old farmhouse that was breathtaking and a smiling face from the side porch.. Ilaeka made us feel as if she had known us for a long time. When we walked iside the Pinecone Cottage it took my breathe, old, nostalgic and had been decorated to perfection to make you feel warm and welcomed and indeed we did. The view was just incredible, the privacy was amazing. I have always been a beach person, but I would rather spend a week here anyday :) However we didn't get to try Papa Phils pizza, but that is on our list next time. As we went to return the key the smell of homemade Applesauce filled the screened porch a we walked up, we purchased 3 jars of the Hot Pepper Sauce "this is the BEST" I have ever eaten. This place is as far as I'm concerned is rated Tops. Ilaeka and Papa Phil we will see you guys soon. Thank you again for a wonderful weekend.....

Owner response:We hope to see you all again real soon! Was a pleasure to meet you and glad you enjoyed the Hot Pepper Jam with your smoked salmon! We are so happy you had a good time and look forward to your next visit!

Date of Stay: 07/18/10 Review Submitted: 09/02/10

For a wonderful week in July, my husband and I stayed at Pinecone Cottage while our boys attended a sports camp near by. Even though we were glued to our laptops most of each day (it was a working vacation for us), we completely enjoyed our stay. The view from the cottage deck was beautiful, the comfortable cottage decor was refreshing, the amazing hikes through the lush rolling hills and farmland were full of adventure and amazing vistas, the fresh blueberries picked right off the bush and fresh veggies from the garden kept us fortified and healthy, the delicious homemade pizza ready for us when we arrived hit the spot as did Papa Phils wonderful fresh gazpacho, the wonderful conversations with our gracious hosts, and on and on and on. Ilaeka and Papa Phil made us feel right at home and we couldn't have had a more enjoyable week. One evening we ventured out too far on a hike and our wonderful hosts came looking for us worried we might be too tired to make it home. We hope to return to stay again next summer and bring our puppy with us next time.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The cottage is wonderful with everything included that you would need. The owners decorated the inside of the cottage very nicely. We had total privacy and very beautiful surroundings. The view from the deck is fabulous. The location made it a great place to stay and still be fairly close to different towns for other things to do. The large hot tub on the deck was also great. We will definitely go back and rent the same cottage again.

Owner response:It's always nice to have our guests come back for another visit and we hope to see this lovely couple from Indiana come again soon. Thanks for such a nice review and we look forward to your next visit!

From the moment you walk through the door of the Pinecone cottage you feel as if you are visiting with family that loves you and wants you to be comfortable, and stay awhile. They have truly rolled out the red carpet. Who could resist the baths with spa like feel, spa towels, spa robes, 5 star resort bedding and linens, pristine water, hot tub, everything here has been thought out to the smallest detail. My son and I spent a week at Pinecone and did not want for a single thing. Owners Pappa Phill and Ilaeka are trully special people that care and want your stay with them to be exceptional. Pappa Phills pizza is not to be missed. I can't wait until our next visit to try his farmhouse breakfast. Ilaeka your attention to detail is not to be improved upon. You have thought of everything and I mean everything! And last but not least this is GOD'S country, the scenery beautiful, thanks for sharing your slice of heaven with us. We arrived home refreshed, relaxed, and reconnected. Mission accomplished. Thank You!!!!Hello I am Matthew, and i say EVERYTHING My mom said is true for me too. Thanks for letting us stay!!!thanks for c. chip cooks and cherry!!!
