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

Best weekend ever!
Our family gathered to celebrate my mother's 98th birthday. The Powell House was the perfect place for our family. The location was an easy drive from the Knoxville airport and directions on the website were easy to follow. There was plenty of room for us to spread out and the great room was an excellent place for us to share our meals and play board games. The pool was a favorite place especially for the kids, young and old. The view is breathtaking! The owners were very accommodating and were always there to answer questions. We are already planning our celebration for Mom's 99th birthday at The Powell House!
Accommodating as always!
Great time, great accommodations, and awesome weather made for a great trip!
Awesome vacation home!
The Powell Farm is an excellent choice for a large family vacation. Clean, great location, big, lots of room, and the on site swimming pool can't be beat.
The Perfect Home away from Home
We have stayed at this property several times and every time it is wonderful. It is truly a home away from home! The house is very roomy and comfortable! It has everything... nice comfy beds, great sun room for sitting and watching tv, the pool is wonderful, the view is awesome, it is quiet and serene! We saw 9 turkey's in the pasture behind the house, each morning! The smokey view of the mountains early in the morning is a site to see... The owners are a joy to deal with and they make sure that your stay is wonderful! We will come back as long as they rent this property out. Thanks for all you do!!
Wow! What a great family and great location!
We were very impressed with everything! Amy was super and her parents were so nice! Great family willing to open her childhood home! It was very clean and the view was great! The kids loved the pool. It was great to be able to stay on our own place and then go into town, which was only about 20 miles away! Our kids loved the whole trip! Thank you Amy for a great week! We will be back!
Perfect location
With our entire family including children, this was the perfect house for us. The pool and sunroom made this house a great family accommodation and location. It was close to National Park and hiking. The setting was beautiful, the owners very friendly and helpful, and the house made for a wonderful getaway week together as a family.
