Stunning property with the coziest rustic cabin!!

Amy is an amazing host. She really goes above and beyond to ensure a wonderful experience at a gorgeous ranch. The cabin was spotless and perfect for a cold winter night. We were snug and comfortable our whole stay. Amy was very responsive and overall the experience was fantastic!!

Beautiful scenery

Loved the views, very quiet. Just as described but could use a good cleaning, a lot of cobwebs and even though it's in the middle of nowhere maybe add some curtains in the bathroom so if guests want to feel private that can choose to, a working ranch says their are people working that ranch somewhere on the property. All in all was exactly what we needed.

Fun Farm!

Was fun to see horses roaming (who apparently even like to lick cars! Ha!) and to also see the beautiful cattle in the field.

Absolutely beautiful!!!! Very relaxing and peaceful property with horses and cattle grazing. They offer steaks from their ranch and there is a charcoal grill to cook on. Plenty of dishes and condiments. Had coffee and keurig. The washer and dryer was an added bonus. Definitely will be staying in the future. We have t-mobile cell phone service and used adapter to stream Netflix and YouTube on tv in living room

Weekend getaway

We had such a fun stay at the farm. The house and amenities were a bit dated (no internet and we never did figure out how to get the TV to work), but nothing that would keep us from staying here again.

About the host

Hosted by Amy Victoria

Host profile image
Hello y’all! I’m Amy Mitchell! I was born and raised right here in middle Tennessee and I’m a third generation rancher.

My family and I raise beef cattle and sell prime, natural beef. I grew up horseback and started training for the public at 18.

My husband Jason and I married in 1997 and we slowly began developing our Quarter horse breeding program shortly after.
We raised, trained and showed for several years earning State and World Titles.

We have a beautiful daughter, Prairie. She is already a very talented young horseman and has numerous accolades to her name at just 16.

While we have always raised cattle we decided to expand our program and purchased the ranch five years ago from my father who literally built the ranch nearly 35 years ago.

We are truly blessed to be able to live the ranching life despite the difficulties that come with it and invite you to get a taste of the authentic ranch experience for yourself!

Why they chose this property

I would love to share with you the beauty of a true ranching experience. Whether you just want a private getaway, or want to come learn the ropes of ranching we can help you out! We even offer horseback riding and lessons. I enjoy educating people about ranching and livestock!

What makes this property unique

Take a break from the hustle and bustle and come experience the tranquility of our mountain top ranch!
