Our families love to travel and often times stay at short term rentals. When we were trying to decide what to do with my grandmother’s home the only thing we knew for sure is that it needed to stay in the family. We all have so many wonderful memories of her home and thought why not use it as a short term rental so others can continue to make great memories there. Since we have stayed at several short term rentals over the years we tried to think of the things that made the great rentals great and incorporate as much as possible into this home all while preserving some of the vintage elements that made it my grandparents home.
Our property is located on a working family farm that was purchased by my great grandfather (W C Locke) at an auction in 1952 unbeknownst to my great grandmother. Later that day when my great grandfather arrived home and told my great grandmother to pack. He had purchased a farm and they were moving to Cottontown, it was near a small town named White House, TN. I am quite sure that no one in the family had ever heard of this town as well as most people living in Tennessee at that time. In 1963 my grandmother and grandfather built their home and moved to the farm. Since that time many other family members have built their homes on the property.
Today we have several types of animals around the farm, Cows, Mangalista pigs, Honey Bees, Chickens, Guineas, Peacocks(our newest additions), Cats, and Dogs.
Growing up the farm was always a magical place for my cousins, siblings and self. We look forward to sharing this home with you in hopes you may make some great memories as well.
