Sabrena and I loved this property. It was so much more than we expected. Everything about this property was amazing. We hiked, had a picknick, watched the sunset from the lake. We wished we had more time to spend as it was just perfect for what we wanted and needed. Thank you so much for letting us stay and we are alreday thinking about dates when we can come back..

Perfect, peaceful getaway right in our backyard.

Very helpful staff. The cabin was super clean, and just a stones throw from the beautiful lake. We enjoyed the fishing as well! You can tell the lake is very well managed.

A Peaceful Place To RELAX

The grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. The Chef's Cottage was beautifully put together and extremely comfortable. The facility was SO much more than what we were expecting. In fact my brother came to visit there and said "Most people look for a cabin or hotel/motel room to book, NOT an Estate". That is what it felt like when we arrived and driving on the grounds to the cabin. We rented a cabin and got an estate. The hosts are very accommodating and returned texts promptly when we had questions. We highly recommend Sandy Creek Farms. You will NOT be disappointed.

Perfect Valentines Getaway

Highly recommend this facility! Beautiful walking trails to explore and atmosphere is so peaceful. The cottage even had coffee, granola bars, and soft drinks to enjoy. We were able to cook a nice dinner in the cottage and just relax and enjoy time together. Wish it was a little warmer so we could’ve enjoyed more of the outdoor features like the fire pit. We walked the loop before we left and enjoyed all the sites. Paths are well kept and all have quaint little touches. Would definitely return for another stay! Thanks Sandy Creek!

About the host

Hosted by Sandy Creek Farms

Host profile image
Welcome to Sandy Creek Farms and thank you for choosing to spend your vacation with us. Originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, our family was looking for a place to enjoy a country landscape where we could spend quality time together. This led us to Springville, TN.

The property was home to a pig farm in the 1950s and a lumbering/ reforesting enterprise in the 1970s. Soon after purchasing the land in 2007, we began making improvements to the property. The land was cleared, roads and trails were built, and a large lake was constructed. In 2010 we began building family and visitor buildings, which lead us to the idea of sharing the beauty of this property with others. After many years of planning and building, we finally opened the event center and lodging in 2019.

While staying with us, please enjoy hiking on our network of trails, fishing, picnicking by the lake, strolling through the citrus greenhouse, or just savoring some good ole fashion R&R in your cabin. Please appreciate the extensive landscaping, sculptures, and abundant wildlife when you explore the property. Also, keep your eye out for some of the original pig structures, abandoned cemeteries, and the old railroad bed. No matter what you do, take time out of your stay to view some of the most
beautiful sunsets and sunrises nature have to offer.

We trust you will enjoy the majestic beauty this property has to offer. Relax, unwind and capture the magic of Sandy Creek.
