Mountain View Luxury Eco-Friendly Cottage Hot Tub 145 Acres
Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Crossville
I wanted a quiet and peaceful getaway from the hustle and bustle of my big city job. I knew this area, as my family bought a farm here in the 1970s. I always loved the beauty the Cumberland Plateau and all the surrounding region has to offer. I decided to come back from Europe where I had been living to be near my family and open a B&B style vacation rental business which was eco friendly and committed to offering a wonderful pampering experience in the countryside to our city stressed guests!
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin

Near to shopping, antiques, local attractions, gourmet restaurants, local crafts, horse riding and the nationally acclaimed Cumberland Playhouse. Close to state parks, Watts Bar Lake, Piney and Ozone Waterfalls and Cumberland Trail.

Amish and Mennonite communities with shops, baked goods, sorghum festivals, etc.
20 mile long lake offering boating, fishing, swimming, marinas, hiking and more
Nationally acclaimed Broadway and Appalachian plays in intimate country theatre setting

Owner's Map of Crossville
I built this cottage originally as a vacation home on a corner of my family's 145 acre property on the Cumberland Plateau. I was living and working in Europe and needed a U.S. base I could come to to recharge my batteries and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature. I eventually moved back to Tennessee and with my father's help turned this English country style cottage into a vacation rental and moved into our 1800s farmhouse nearby. We have two cottages on the 145 acre property (see vrbo #191274 also) which are are managed by both my father "Papa Phil",who does the catering and myself. Our years of experience - I have over 15 years international sales and consulting as well as vacation rentals management experience in Europe and my Dad with 30+ years executive experience at IBM - help us maintain a high level of service that our guests appreciate. We invite you to discover the beauty of the region and the joys of mother nature at our B&B style eco-friendly vacation rental retreat on Walden's Ridge high on the Plateau in East TN. This photo was taken on a cold day last year during winter holidays.

We have always stayed in the PineCone, but decided it was time for a change... All I can say is WOW.. The Honeysuckle was gorgeous.... All I can say is Ileaka and Papa Phil have got it right... Why would anyone want to go anywhere else when you have this right at your back door... Its really hard to make a choice because they both are well maintained and you need nothing but your clothes and food. They even have that, which is prepared and brought to you... Thank you for such a wonderful visit.. Definatley will be back after first of the year......
Owner response:We have two cottages on our property and both are listed on VRBO. #208199 is the Honeysuckle and #191274 is the Pinecone. Folks love them both and each are very unique. Honeysuckle has a more "European country home" feel and Pinecone is a more "Americana designor" feel.... They are private from each other and Honeysuckle has wide open country views whereas Pinecone is a wooded mountain country view. We are glad you enjoyed your stay at both and look forward to your next visit!

My husband and I have come to Honeysuckle Cottage for the past two years for our anniversary. We love disconnecting from our cell phones and laptops and enjoying the amazing views and breathing in the crisp country air. We especially love that we can bring our dog, and he can roam around the extensive beautiful trails with us. The cabin is cared for with immaculate precision, everything you could need is already available. It is clean, well-stocked, and easy to maintain. Ileaka and Phil couldn't be more welcoming. We plan to come back next year as well.
Owner response:We love having couples celebrate their special celebrations with us and are glad to welcome them back year after year!

I was looking for a quiet place where I could set up camp for 30 days and complete two courses of study for continuing educational credits. I found just that and more at the Honeysuckle. I was first drawn to this property via the pictures and reviews. When I arrived, I was welcomed by two fabulous folks ... Ileaka and PaPa Phil. By the time I unpacked my car, I was feeling at home. OH! my! the view from the deck either morning or dusk was calming. I even found the daybed in the screened in porch way to comfortable for reading a textbook as I woke up from an hour nap one day ... YAAA! I had ample opportunities to use the entire cottage to it best possible advantage. Sleeping a week in the loft bedroom during and after a visit from my daugther and grandsons. What a cozy place. Waking up to see the sun come up as I snuggled in the master bedroom bed was a treat to behold. Making tea and a Southern breakfast in the morning was so easy in the well equipped kitchen. My daughter, family and I had the special treat of enjoying a breakfast basket and handmade pizza delivered from the Farm House. My grandson's loved it .... The oldest grand loved the jam so much he put spoonfulls of it on pancakes the following morning. After my studies the surrounding area provided me with lots of towns and festivals to explore and enjoy. I came home with all sorts of jars filled with southern food goodies. If reading a good book, lounging in the hot tub, or walking several miles on a local park trail was not excitment enough...... I just jumped in the car and drove somewhere to have a culinary experience. I just love good Southern cooking and there was plenty to find. I would return to the cottage to enjoy an evening sunset or snuggle on the couch to watch TV. I have rented via VHBO before, but I must say Honeysuckle is NO. 1 on my list. Thanks Ileaka and Papa Phil for the best 30 days of my life. It is my hope to return to the area again.
Owner response:Thanks for the great review! We loved having you and meeting your family as well. Every once in a while we get an "extended stay" guest at our cottage taking advantage of our monthly rates available in off season months. A month gives folks a lot of time to see the many sites around here and get to know the local way of life. So if you ever need an extended retreat or home away from home during an lengthly work project think of us! Extended stays are available Sept plus Nov-March depending on availability.

We had the best stay at the cottage! Loved papa phil's breakfast and pizza, highly suggest it! Ilaeka really thought of everything, from the detailed guides to the area to the nice gift basket. We enjoyed a cool hike on the property and also hiked the nearby piney falls and ozone falls. They were amazing and so close! The cottage was decorated beautifully with lots of French touches. My favorite moment was reading on the porch while my dog ran around outside exploring everything! Oh yeah, the hot tub was very clean and nice, if you turn off the lights you can see every star in the sky. And they also had a great water purification system, I am very picky about my water so I loved this. Our stay was divine!
Owner response:Our Honeysuckle Cottage has wide open views and the sky and stars are spectacular ! The house has a whole house water purification system so you can bath in chlorine free sparkling fresh water and drink purified water straight from the tap! There are lots of waterfalls in the area to explore and each with their own swimming holes...We are glad you enjoyed yourselves and hope to see you again soon.

Review Submitted: 08/08/10
We go on vacations every summer with our four legged "kids." Most of the "pet friendly" places we have stayed at are not always "human friendly." Our experience far superseded our expectations. The kitchen was stocked with all the proper utensils and accouterments to make really nice meals. The linens, and bed were first rate. And the views were beautiful. Had it not been for the fact that the cottage was booked we probably would have stayed longer. Ilaeka and Pappa Phil, the owners, are incredibly warm and inviting. We feel like we made two new wonderful friends. Sadly, our three dogs have been sulking since we got back to city living.
Owner response:With each new arrival, we find new friends... these folks and their 4 legged "kids" (who loved our pond) came from New Orleans to recharge their batteries and sounds like they did. It has not been easy for folks from New Orleans recently, as we all know, and we love that our country getaway gave them the break they needed and we wish them all the best with what the future may bring to that region of the country...We love welcoming "city folk" and seeing those shoulders relax, the laughter kick in and the slow lifestyle of Grandview Mountain work its way into their souls... just something about a little country time and a cozy cottage to melt those worries away!

We had a great experience at the Honeysuckle Cottage. It was everything we hoped for and more. Our two dogs loved it too. Traveling from Cookeville, TN it was only about an hour away. We got the grand tour from Papa Phil, then we settled in and cooked dinner. We brought supplies, but the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. It was nice to relax with the satellite HDTV too. The next morning we enjoyed the fresh baked biscuits and jam picnic that was delivered to our door. Love the strawberry jam, I wish we had gotten a jar to take home! We explored the river and hiking trails that are a 5 min drive from the cottage, as well as the spring-fed pond at the farm. The dogs got to run and play in the pond and go swimming. The view from the front porch was great, both in the morning and the evening. The pancake breakfast on the second day was excellent, then we decided we couldn't pass up on Papa Phil's famous pizza. On our final morning there, we went down to the farmhouse and had a lovely breakfast on the screen porch where we chatted with Ilaeka and Papa Phil, the owners. We left stuffed but relaxed and happy after a refreshing little mini-getaway. What was really nice was that we were still so close to home - even though it felt like we were in the middle of nowhere. Highly recommended!
Owner response:We are glad to see that more and more folks who live close by are finding us a great getaway without a lot of travel. We get folks from far away too (Florida, Great Lakes, Alabama, Texas, Mid-West and even Europe!) but it's always nice to know the "locals" like us too!

My wife and I wanted to get away for a few days to celebrate our 22nd anniversary, and I stumbled upon the Honeysuckle Cottage ad through VRBO. I was intrigued by all the details that Ilaeka included in the description of the cottage, the farm, and the area. Could it really be this good, I wondered? I must say, we were pleasantly surprised with our experience! Yes, it was as good as advertised -- and even better! The Honeysuckle Cottage was tastefully decorated and was stocked with everything you could possibly need for a short stay. We ordered the pizza the first night, and Papa Phil made an excellent pizza that really hit the spot. Later in our stay we enjoyed the deluxe breakfast, and it was just wonderful! The view from the cabin is excellent -- especially in the evenings as we watched thousands of lightning bugs light up the sky from our view in the hot tub on the deck -- just awesome! Ilaeka and Papa Phil were very nice and helpful, and they provided a ton of information about local activities (hikes to waterfalls, local festivals, golf courses, nearby lake, antiques stores, etc.), but we were mostly contented just to hang around and relax. The cabin was very private, and we were really able to get away from it all for a few days. It was exactly what we were looking for! One thing that I noticed in looking over the advertisements for the Honeysuckle Cottage was the great attention to detail that Ilaeka put into everything she wrote about. After we arrived at the cottage for our stay, we noticed that same attention to detail in every aspect of the cottage and Grandview Mountain property -- the way the cottage was decorated, equipped, and maintained reflected this same attention to detail. Things were clean... they worked... it is obvious that Ilaeka and Papa Phil take great pride in their properties. So yes, I can wholeheartedly recommend Honeysuckle Cottage to anyone! It is a great place to enjoy a time of relaxing! I could say much more, but I will just say "Thanks, Ilaeka and Papa Phil for a wonderful and memorable weekend." We hope to come back some day in the near future!
Owner response:We hope all our guests enjoy themselves as much as this nice couple who celebrated their wedding anniversary here and we hope they come back again soon! Thanks for a great review!

Dear Ilaeka and Papa Phil, I just wanted to say "Thank You" again for a wonderful relaxing weekend! We absolutely loved everything, and it was more than we expected. Our plans were to get checked in, and spend the weekend visiting nearby sites. After we got there, our plans obviously changed -- we never left. We truly enjoyed the hiking, exploring, pond, hot tub, movies, and mostly... no cell phone service! We look forward to returning, and I would definitely recommend Grandview Mountain Cottages for anyone who needs a break from the real world. Ilaeka, thank you for the hospitality, your kindness, the picture, and all the info you provided. And last, Papa Phil, you are the best cook ever! Your breakfast could win awards. We wish you both the best, and look forward to seeing you in the future. Sincerely, Steve & Lisa
Owner response:We loved having Lisa and Steve stay with us and they enjoyed the lack of cell phone service at the Honeysuckle Cottage as a way to disconnect (some carriers work at that cottage and others don't, although our farm and the area has good cell phone coverage in general. If you prefer to stay connected we recommend you try our other cottage The Pinecone which is listed 191274 as it gets great cellphone coverage. We have lots of working folks who stay at both cottages with their families and find they can connect when they need to and disconnect when they want to!

So sweet and serene. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Honeysuckle Cottage. The decor is charming and the setting was soooo relaxing. The owners of this property are exceptionally thoughtful and kind. We will not only recommend this property we hope to revisit soon! Out pets loved the wide open spaces and had a vacation too. A great place to rejuvenate.
