About Amy Higdon
Our home is built on property that has been in Velda's family since 1879. Her grandparents, Joseph and Sarah Jane Flynn, built the first structure on the property and raised their family on this farm. Sampson Flynn, Velda's father, was born on the farm in 1902. He married Bonnie Cagle in 1920 and their family eventually settled in the gray block home that sits next door to our home. Velda and Marshall had this home moved from along Little River in Walland, Tennessee to the current location in 1965. There have been several additions to the home over the years, including the pool and sunroom. Velda and Marshall raised their family, son David and daughter Amy, in this home until they moved their residence next door in 1996 They remodeled the block house of Velda's parents after their passing. Amy's family lives on the farm behind the rental. Their great-grandchildren are the 6th generation to have lived on the family property.
Amy Higdon purchased this Farmhouse in 1965
Why Amy Higdon chose Walland
Powell Farm Rental has been in the nightly rental business since 1996. We have guests who will be returning for their 20th summer. Our home is large enough to have plenty of beds and room to spread out. The sunroom provides gorgeous mountain views even in the winter. Our guests have enjoyed various local activities, and one family returns each Fall for an annual Tennessee football game. We are 45 minutes from Dollywood and other Pigeon Forge attractions.

Wonderful family vacation rental
We have stayed the farm several times and our grandchildren love being there. The house has plenty of room for all of us and the pool is wonderful!
So glad your family enjoyed your stay. We hope you will return soon!
Beautiful setting
We really enjoyed our trip to Walland TN. The house was spacious providing plenty of room for our party of 10. My family especially enjoyed watching the Smoky Mountains as the put on an excellent show. The sun danced creating magnificent shadows. On other days the clouds kissed the mountains.
The location is private ..but within 45 minutes we were at Dolly Wood.
We also viewed wild turkeys and deer in the back yard.
Awesome location and great property!
This is a very scenic and private location. Our group enjoyed the house and it's amenities as a group but the house was also able to allow each couple enough privacy to escape when needed. The pool and awesome sitting room provided excellent meeting areas to relax and plan for the days adventures. We had 7 motorcycles in our group and the carport accommodated them all very well. Our group also represented 5 different families and they all indicated they would like to return to this location for family vacations. Everyone's feedback was that this property added greatly to their trip and that they will remember this trip forever.
The owners were very informative from my first contact and quite a pleasure to deal with as well as being very very knowledgeable of the surrounding area. We will not hesitate to seek out this property the next time we visit!
Vince, we welcome your group back anytime. So glad that our home was such a good fit for your party.
Best Vacation May 9-May 15 2018
We couldn't have been any happier. The home was clean, stocked, well maintained and the folks were so pleasant to work with. Beautiful property! Will definitely return for a THIRD visit!
Thank you AMY!!!
Chris, thanks so much for your kind words. We're so glad you all had a great trip and that our home meets your needs. PLEASE come back!
Clean, Fun, Functional, and Friendly!!!
We had a graduation dinner and family get together at the house.
This house had EVERYTHING needed in the kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms.
Very clean and organized.
The pool and yard were fun and there is a nice creek down at the end of the long driveway!
Amy is super responsive and a pleasure to work with on the business details.
Thank you!
Jim, thanks for your kind words. We’d love to have your family come stay with us again. Congratulations to your daughter in her graduation.
