The space
25-acre property, mowed paths, and some woods. 20 minutes from Dayton and Pikeville. About 50 miles from Chattanooga and 75 miles from Knoxville. A nice central location for seeing TN. There is plenty of fishing and hiking nearby. 2 golf courses within a few miles. Laurel Falls State Park is just down the road and Falls Creek Falls State Park is only an hour away. The Barndominum is an apartment on the back end of a large garage. It faces the pond, so you have complete privacy. Our area is Secluded and Safe.

If you do want to book with us, just a reminder that you are coming up on a mountain, and your signal can vary depending on where you are on your trip which can affect your GPS and making calls. We ask that you check the directions before you head up and we will remind you the day of your travel to help keep you journey smooth.

We work very hard to keep the apartment clean and use pest control services regularly, but we are careful not to overuse toxic chemicals in and around the farm. With all that, a bug might sneak in. (IE: Spider, Lightening bugs, ants, or even a bee). None of these bugs are harmful and we are happy to remove them.

Along with bugs and critters, we also have wildlife such as Foxes, Skunks, Muskrats, Deer, Raccoons, Mice, Opossums, Eagles, Osprey, Blue and Green Herons, Otters and Muskrats, as well as others. Some wildlife we listed are never seen. Others, you will see occasional, especially in early morning or evening.

We can lose power up on the mountain like anyplace and will do everything to keep you updated if you have booked with us. That said, we have a small generator designated just for the Apartment which we can hook up, to allow the essentials to run in the space if it is going to be down for an extended period. Welcome to the great outdoors!
