Holiday rentals near Austin Springs Spa & Salon

We travelled over from the UK for our son’s graduation at Milligan university. Pat and Jonny are the most lovely hosts taking the time to explain the history of the farm and the artists studio where we were staying. Pat is an amazing baker and Jonny a very talented artist. The farm has bison, goats, peacocks and chickens however the wildlife including otters and beavers ( both of which we saw) as well as squirrels and red cardinals ( my favourite) was outstanding. Our log cabin was set on the bank of the pond which was surrounded by trees and irises . The bedroom , kitchenette and shower room were clean, comfortable and homely. We were also invited to use the living room which included items to buy from the local community as well as Jonny’s art work and crafts. This is situated within the cabin and leads onto a deck overlooking the pond and giving a perfect view of the wildlife. We also met their son Robbie who helps run the farm and is a blacksmith with a forge on the site where he makes useful items. This was a beautiful stay which left us reluctant to leave. We felt part of the family and community and even visited the local farmers market in Jonesborough where Pat sells her fabulous bakes. Thank you to you all for making this stay so pleasurable and giving us such a wonderful insight to Southern hospitality.
