About this property

Henderson, TN Cottage Farmstay E-I-E-I-Oh, MY!

This ain't your "grandpappy's farm"!

No, we offer a wide variety of experiences from the leave-me-alone-I'm-resting-and-need-my-coffee experience to the full-immersion-up-to-your-elbows-I-wanna-be-a-farmer experience to . Stillwaters Farm, in the heart of West Tennessee, offers the best of both worlds: a way to unplug, and a way to connect. So, plan a visit to rest, relax, reconnect, and rejuvenate!

We deliver what the others can't: Sweeping farm vistas, a private, end of the road location, and a minimum of 1.5 acres of wandering room--all with the convenience of being within 2.5 miles of the city limits!

Located on the leading edge of a 153 acre farm in the heart of West Tennessee, The Cottage is furnished in period antiques, full linens, full kitchen, full bath with vintage claw foot tub, and two charming bedrooms. Central heat/air, outdoor lounging area surrounded by perennial butterfly gardens, and views of pasture and farm. Private parking provided.

Guest Access

Guests enjoy full use of the Cottage and surrounding Cottage grounds, with shopping and wine tastings at our on-farm winery, Forty Cannons.

The Neighborhood

While a mere two miles outside the city limits, The Cottage lends itself to a bygone era—a time when life was slow and simple. In short, The Cottage allows our guests the opportunity to rest, relax, and participate in activities that they would otherwise never experience. At the farm, surrounded by hundreds of acres of agriculture and virgin woodland, our guests can learn about gardening, livestock, animal husbandry, crop harvesting, or any number of activities going on at the farm during their stay.

Horns and sirens, traffic and commerce are a rarity around here. Instead, guests will be bathed in the comfort sounds of the country—a donkey’s bray, a dog’s bark, a horse’s whinny, and, on occasion, our sheep’s graceful, signature baas.

Butterfly gardens, in full bloom most of the year, are just off the outdoor lounging area, so guests can expect a visit from the local hummingbirds (in season), graceful butterflies, and bumbling bees on the hunt for a load of pollen. Songbirds, deer, and turkey inhabit the woods and meadows all around. A good book and a cup of hot tea will round out a most enjoyable farm experience.


Looking for something a little more "hands on"? Guests can participate in one or more of the following activities, dependent upon weather conditions, guests comfort level, and season: morning feeding, hay, water; vineyard keeping; gardening; animal care and training.

Upgrade Your Stay
WORKSHOPS are also available, priced individually. Check with us for current offerings and pricing.

We strive to provide our guests the ability to dive into daily farm activities, if desired.

For off-farm activities, we happily direct our guests to area points of interest, historical sites, restaurants, and shopping.

Farm interaction is provided at our guests' comfort level. Want to roll up your sleeves and dive right in? We would love it! Or, if you'd prefer, you can sit back, sip a cup of tea, and watch the world go by. It's all up to YOU! Bring your cameras!

Come, enjoy the peace of the country!

Getting Around

There is no public transportation nearby. Guests must make use of their private vehicle for off-farm activities.

Other Things to Note

NOTE: Our attention to detail reflects our commitment not only to service, but also to quality. You will not find corners cut in our décor, furnishings, or essentials.

We do everything in our power to ensure that you are receiving our very best.

There are many things to do in West Tennessee within one hour of Stillwaters Farm. For off-farm activities, whether it is horseback riding, Civil War sightseeing, antiquing, fall foliage sightseeing, boating, dining out, or any of hundreds of other activities, we are happy to point our guests in the right direction.

peaceful farm life
This was a wonderful place to getaway from the hectic city life. The cottage is located on a working farm and it was common to have the peacock and pea hen and their two babies nesting right off of the side door. The chickens and dogs were frequent visitors. The home is very comfortable - nothing fancy, which was fine. We are not fancy people. Valerie, the host, was a perfect host! Very responsive for any problems. And a wonderful surprise was the on-sight winery - Forty Cannons Winery. We had a lovely wine tasting and we really enjoyed the wine! We will definitely return.

Peaceful Farmhouse
Our stay at Stillwaters Farm was delightful. The host Valerie was very kind and welcoming. You could tell when she said to make ourselves at home, she meant it. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed. We had a peaceful and restful time at the cottage. When my husband played his banjo in the carport, the peacock came and listened. If you want to enjoy nature and love country settings, this is the place. Valerie will make sure you feel welcome.

About the host

Hosted by Valeria Pitoni

Host profile image
A former college professor, certified soapmaker, and sixth-generation Florida native, I moved to West Tennessee with my family, our business, and a few larger-than-us dreams in 2006. Since then, we have transformed our 153+ acre farm from an abandoned and broken down has-been into a beautiful destination for family and guests. My husband and I own and operate several businesses from the farm, including Wild Roses Artisanal, my brand for the artisanal soaps, soy candles, and other products that I hand-make right here on the farm.

Why they chose this property

In a stereotypical "Green Acres" move, my husband and I chose to give up the high-stress "city life" for the more laid-back rural life. After looking for more than two years in the state of Florida, we set out to find a place that we could make our own--somewhere between my home state of Florida and his home state of New York. We settled on Tennessee--West Tennessee, to be exact--and have never looked back.

What makes this property unique

Peace, privacy, rest, and rejuvenation. These are some of the unique qualities that our farm provides. Whether it's through the sweeping vistas of the rolling countryside, or the laugh-inspiring antics of the many animal inhabitants that we call "family", stress begins to abate as soon as you enter the gate. We've taken great pains to make each of our accommodations as user-friendly as possible, and we've tried to anticipate our guests' every need. We provide the peace of the country--just a short drive from the convenience of the city.
