Farmhouse Retreat for Family Reunions, Weddings, LMU Visits & Norris Lake escape

Fox Willow at Bailey Hills
Escape. Reconnect. Make Memories.

Some vacations are about seeing and doing more. Others are about slowing down.

Welcome to Fox Willow at Bailey Hills, a peaceful countryside retreat nestled among the rolling hills of beautiful East Tennessee. We didn't create Fox Willow to be just another vacation rental. We created it to be a place where guests feel at home from the moment they arrive. Its more than just a vacation rental, Fox Willow is a place to slow down, reconnect with loved ones, and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Whether you're visiting Lincoln Memorial University (LMU), attending a wedding, planning a family reunion, exploring Norris Lake, hiking the Appalachian and Daniel Boone Trails, spending a day at Tazewell Speedway, or simply looking for a quiet escape, Fox Willow offers the comfort of home in one of Tennessee's most scenic settings.

From the moment you arrive, you'll discover why so many guests wish they had booked a longer stay.

What Our Guests Love

Imagine beginning your morning with a fresh cup of coffee on the front porch while listening to birds sing and watching the sunrise over the rolling green hills.

Spend your days boating, fishing, or swimming at Norris Lake, hiking through Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, visiting LMU, exploring local antique shops, enjoying a round of golf, or attending a nearby wedding.

Then return home to barbecue dinner, gather around the fire pit beneath a sky full of stars, or simply relax and enjoy the peaceful countryside.

Sometimes the best vacation isn't about doing more, it's about finally slowing down.

Unlike many vacation homes, Fox Willow offers two separate living rooms.
We wanted to have a Space to Be Together... and Space to Spread Out

Whether everyone is watching a movie, playing board games, preparing dinner together, or simply enjoying a quiet moment with a book, Fox Willow was designed to give groups room to gather without ever feeling crowded.

The main living room centers around a cozy fireplace, creating a warm place to gather after a day of adventure.

( The den as we just described) The second living room provides additional seating, a sleeper sofa, and extra space for reading, games, or movie nights.

Large windows throughout the home fill every room with natural light while showcasing beautiful countryside views.

The Fox Willow Experience

Fox Willow at Bailey Hills was created from a dream of sharing the beauty of East Tennessee with others.

We believe hospitality is about more than providing a place to stay. It's about creating an experience where families reconnect, lifelong friends gather around the table, wedding parties celebrate new beginnings, and guests leave feeling refreshed.

Whether you're visiting for a weekend or an extended stay, we hope you'll experience the peaceful surroundings, thoughtful details, and warm hospitality that have made Fox Willow a place our guests remember long after they return home.

Health & Safety

Please supervise children while outdoors. Keep children away from the barn, fenced propane tank area, and retaining wall by the driveway. Please also give any animals on or around the property plenty of space and supervise children and pets around them.

We look forward to welcoming you to Fox Willow at Bailey Hills.

Escape. Reconnect. Make Memories.
