This is a unique place to stay, looks like a barn out in the country but inside it is a very well appointed home. It has every thing you need and more. Lots of room, comfortable bed. Treats waiting for us. Communication with the host was terrific. I don't think it took her more than a few minutes to answer. When we asked for suggestions of places to go or things to see she had great suggestions. Excellent four days.
A wonderful experience! I was making a weekend visit to see my son at the UT campus in Knoxville - Jeanne made every part of the booking process easy. An incredible property - quiet, peaceful, and very scenic. Everything you could need is provided - including some extras - snacks, yummy welcome muffins and drinks. A beautiful stay! Definitely recommend - Jeanne goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and at home. Easy trip into downtown Knoxville!

You are such wonderful guests! Everything was left absolutely spotless! We look so forward to having you back again
This was our second visit and we absolutely love the property. The check in and check out process is smooth and easy. The property is always exceptionally clean. It has everything on site to come and just relax. The views from the porch are fantastic. If you are looking for a quiet place to relax, this is the property for you. We will be returning again.

We will always welcome you back. You are wonderful guests.
Spacious place with a well equipped kitchen. It even had a laundry area. Peaceful setting so it was very quiet. The special touches from the host was much appreciated.

Thank you for being such great guests! We would be happy to host you again
This is by far the nicest rental we've stayed in and has absolutely earned every 10/10 rating they've received. Jeanne has gone above and beyond to make sure everything you need is there and that you're stay is relaxing and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The recliners were a great touch. The location was very quiet and secluded but only 10 min from stores and restaurants. We can't recommend this place highly enough. If you need a place to stay in the area this is it!

Oh thank you so much for your wonderful review! You were wonderful guests and we would love to host you again
This is the best VRBO we’ve stayed in and Jeanne is an incredible host. If you have a chance to book this property for your stay in the Smokies, run, don’t walk, to secure it. We hope to stay again when we come back this way.
We really enjoyed our stay and left with hopes of returning in the future. The area and the view were exceptionally beautiful. Jeanne made sure we understood her place well with little notes and afforded us the privacy level of our choice. She made us feel very appreciated. This place is a rare find that is clean and cozy. We had been traveling a bit and took special note of the comfy chairs and bed. We concur with the 10 out of 10 rating for Jeanne’s place.

You are wonderful guests, and we would be honored to have you back again.
Amazing!! Better in person than the listing. Of you are looking for a stress free, peaceful, homey, place to stay.. this is by far it. It's clean and is equipped with anything you might need and more, including, warm, welcoming hosts, beautiful views and great accommodations.
We were really impressed by the layout - there was plenty of room while still allowing conversation. The views were wonderful and it was very quiet and relaxing! Jeanne could not have been more considerate and accommodating. We will definitely be back!

You were wonderful guests and we look forward to your future visit. Thank you for your review.
Where do I begin? This was the most peaceful and relaxing stay I have ever experienced on vacation. The view was captivating. It was so quiet and peaceful outside. We stayed for couple of days and didn’t turn on the TV once! Everything was carefully thought out: fully stocked kitchen, extra blankets and pillows, towels, etc. Speaking of the kitchen, if you like to cook, the double ovens and deep sinks will get any meal out quickly. The bed was so comfortable it was easy to fall asleep quickly. The host was absolutely amazing. She sent the information early so check in was a breeze. We had privacy throughout the stay. There were notes around the home so you didn’t have to reach out for anything. Plus she had muffins waiting for us which was welcomed after long travel day. I can see why this property is so highly rated and will be visiting again very soon!

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much. 💕Your review is so sweet. It’s guests like you two that make hosting so much fun.
We would absolutely be honored to have you visit again.
All the 5 star reviews are spot on. Very cozy and clean, the host has thought of absolutely everything. A lot of thought was put into all the little details. This location is very quiet and worked great for my wife and I who were pulling a 20' enclosed trailer. Lot's of room to park. Thanks again!

Mockingbird Farm was a perfect spot to unwind after my sister’s funeral. My son and I enjoyed the views and our hike of the property. The deer were an extra bonus. Thanks!

About the host
Hosted by Jeanne LeDoux-Hickman
I love to travel. I've been to most states in the US and over 14 other countries. My adult kids introduced me to airbnb when we took a trip together through Spain, Andorra, and France. I was so impressed that people, from other parts of the world, would open their homes to complete strangers. It helped refresh my trust in others. Now, we open our "barn-do-minium" to you. We have had the most amazing experiences with our guests. People from The Netherlands, Vermont, Washington State, and on and on and on. (Please read our reviews on airbnb)
Why they chose this property
Have you ever stayed in a barn? This is your chance. New built/no animals. You can gaze out the kitchen window and see cattle on the hill with the mountains in the background. Go explore the tourist attractions and then come "home" to peace and quiet.
What makes this property unique
I feel so blessed to be able to live on this beautiful piece of land. The location is perfect. We can be in major tourist areas within 20 - 25 minutes but we don't have to "live" there! It's always so nice to come home....I think you will feel that way too.
