About Ilaeka Villa
I lived and worked in Europe for 20 years before returning to Tennessee to live near my family. My Dad, retired IBM exec known by our guests as 'Papa Phil', helps me with the business and handles the popular catering we offer the cottages. He lives in a nearby 1800s farmhouse and guests love his cooking! I handle marketing and customer service and we do all we can to make our guests happy! I recently sold this property to a long time family friend who had been renting it out for vacations for many years and although I no longer own it, I continue to manage the vacation listing for the new property owner and live nearby in our family's 1800s farmhouse.
Ilaeka Villa purchased this cottage in 2000
Why Ilaeka Villa chose East
I always loved the beauty the Cumberland Plateau and all the surrounding region has to offer especially the peace and quiet! 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! I tried to equip the cottages as I had found country vacation homes in Europe - with all the bells and whistles! The area has so many waterfalls, hikes, and Appalachian charm we know you will like it too. Lakes, rivers and lots of great hikes surround us!
What makes this cottage unique
Upscale country cottage with all the amenities: Private outdoor Hot Tub, wood burning fireplace, indoor tiled luxury shower, eco-friendly soaps and toiletries, spa robes, organic farmhouse catering, all natural linens, book library, flat screen hi def 200 channels and more! Wonderful star gazing, outdoor cowboy style fire-pit, hiking and fishing onsite. Mountain View and wide open vistas. 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.
Guestbook comments from the owner
What were the chances of finding a secret, perfect "place" to rest, be restored and cherish one's family? What do you do when you need to get away and you can't go far? You google and find Honeysuckle Cottage.... Hot tub! Fish Pond! Coziest bed! Loft for our kids! Pulley basket for the kids! All the "Farm and Fun" we've yet to explore for our stay was much too short! (A family from our county rented both cottages and wrote this in our Honeysuckle journal)

One of my all time favorite places to visit
While I'm no newbie to Grandview Mountain Cottages, I'm generally a fan of the Pinecone Cottage and have spent the majority of my vacations there. Recently I decided that I needed a change and booked a long weekend for Honeysuckle Cottage. I couldn't have made a better decision. The weekend was perfect - even for a hot 4th of July. The hot tub is located on the front porch, which has gorgeous unobstructed views of the mountains and open views of the night sky to watch the stars. Inside the cottage is absolutely beautiful. Tall, open windows - perfect for the early morning sun that floods the living room. The kitchen was fully stocked - with everything we needed to make our own meals. I loved that it had a wood burning fireplace - I cannot wait for a fall/winter stay so I can snuggle up in front of the fire. I spent an entire day lounging in the hammock just listening to the birds and bugs. At night the lightning bugs came out and lit up the woods. We took a short hike to Upper & Lower Piney Falls (about 10 min drive from the cottage - and an easy 30 min hike) with the dogs. Ilaeka & Papa Phil have done such an amazing job at making sure everything is thought of - from movies, books, kitchen utensils, to the perfect country soaps. I cannot recommend this spot enough for family/romantic vacations. Just don't forget to order one of Papa Phil's amazing pizza's (I recommend The Works)!
Dream Cottage
For the first time in 35 years of marriage my husband and I discovered we would be without any family at the house for Christmas. Perfect opportunity to take a vacation and enjoy our favorite state! I had been a Facebook fan of Grandview Mountain Cottages and had yearned for a chance to stay here. We are cottage/cabin renters for vacations all the time but so many have been let downs once we arrived. Pinecone Cottage was NOT a let down at all! The cottage is more beautiful than the pictures, clean & inviting, perfect for relaxing, private and dog friendly! Ilaeka and Papa Phil are wonderful hosts and pour their hearts into their business. The view from the deck is stunning, even the warmer and wetter Christmas weather did not bother us! We can't wait to book another trip! Be sure to purchase a jar of their honey from the Farmhouse Porch.
Great getaway
We had 3 days of nonstop rain, but couldn't have asked for a better place to be stuck indoors. Ilaeka has thought of so many details to make her guests comfortable. The firewood is there, the kitchen is stocked, the bed is comfortable, the soaps are exquisite, and it was the cleanest rental I have been in. Views are great and lots of room for the dogs to run. Hope to get back and sit in that hot tub!
Perfect Weekend Getaway
The pictures just can't do the cabin and the view justice. This was the perfect spot for a relaxing weekend getaway. The cabin was immaculate and had everything we needed. Our dogs loved it too. We will definitely be returning.
Fantastic!
I've never felt so at home in a vacation rental. The property is beautiful and private - the main road and other cottage are off a ways through the trees. It felt like our own little world and that was just what we wanted! The kitchen was well stocked and everything was super clean. And the pictures really don't do it justice. You can tell Ilaeka truly cares about her guests and I can't wait until I have the chance to go back.
Great place to relax
This cottage was beyond my expectations the whole family enjoyed it especially my 13 yr. Old daughter, think she could have lived in that loft .we played horseshoes,had some nice campfires,cooked on the barby.all the amenities of home.also close to beautiful trails& waterfalls.we would highly recommend a stay here.
Map
Off the beaten path on the Cumberland Plateau on Walden's Ridge. Lots of hiking and outdoor activities. Near to Piney Waterfalls, Piney River, Cumberland Trail State Park hiking trails, Watts Bar Lake, horse back riding, antique shopping and more. Seasonal festivals, bluegrass festivals, museums and restos just a country drive away. Pamper yourself in the country!
