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.
