Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Jim and Pam Rogers
Jim and Pam Rogers, The Dock Barnard Farm's owners, are lifetime residents of Franklin. In fact, Jim's family has been farming in the Iotla Valley since 1879. They live nearby, less than a mile from the Dock Barnard Farm, and they love to meet new folks and provide the perfect home-away-from-home for the enjoyment of their guests! In fact, The Dock Barnard Farm is the second of two historic properties Jim and Pam have preserved and have made available as vacation homes. The Old Campbell Farm, a wonderful blend of 1884 log cabin exterior and modern interior, is located less than a half-mile away. The properties complement one another and can make the perfect combination for larger-family vacations.
Why they chose this property
The Dock Barnard Farm was passed down through the generations to Jim and his first cousins on the Barnard side of the family. Jim and Pam were fortunate to buy out the cousins' interest in the property in late 2014, at which time it became a part of the Rogers' larger 350-acre working farm where they specialize in growing Angus cattle and timber. The small fields at the Dock Barnard Farm produce hay each year for their cattle herd. But more importantly, restoring and preserving The Dock Barnard Farm, a truly wonderful historical treasure, has been a privilege and a pleasure! No doubt Dock and Ellen Barnard would be thrilled their home has been restored to its original beautiful condition!!
What makes this property unique
Beyond the sentimental family attachment to The Dock Barnard Farm, Jim and Pam fell in love with the Folk Victorian architecture, the view from the front porch, watching for woodland creatures and birds from the rocking chairs on the wrap-around screen porch, and the opportunity to reclaim poplar and chestnut lumber on the property to use as accents inside the home.
Whether you stay for a weekend, a week, or a month, The Dock Barnard Farm can be home base to explore everything from Dollywood in nearby Pigeon Forge, Tennessee to the Biltmore House in Asheville, North Carolina. Go hiking in the Smokies, bicycle riding on marked trails and paved routes, motorcycle riding on challenging mountain roads, and strolling along the woodlands edge. After dinner (or supper, as we say in the mountains) sit on the screened porch to catch the last light of day and perhaps a glimpse of a doe and her fawn.
