About the host
Hosted by Jillian Corley
We are semi-retired city dwellers who wanted to fulfill their dreams of living in the country. We found the perfect property in the beautiful Laurel Valley of Cleveland, TN, and have spent many hours lovingly upgrading and restoring the acreage and homes to their unique and splendid heritage, with all the modern conveniences. We invite you to come and share in all we have to offer, and enjoy the beauty and solace the Cottage provides. Pictures don't do it justice, you have to experience it to believe it.
What makes this property unique
Staying in the Cottage is like spending the days and starry nights in the middle of the forest, surrounded by beautiful nature and all it entails. The Cottage is set up on a knoll, far away from the manor house, overlooking the ponds in front, and the forest and creek in the back. In order to experience the true magic of nature, the Cottage has many large windows with curtains throughout its entirety. Rest assured, the Cottage is very private, and we guarantee absolute privacy.
