3 Bedroom Cabin at Autumn Dancer Llama Farm...Pet Friendly...Fenced Yard

Are you an animal lover who would love to vacation at a place where there is peace and quiet as well as all kinds of animals, both domestic and wildlife, to watch? Do you stress when planning a vacation because you can’t bring your dog(s) along? Then Cabin at Autumn Dancer Llama Farm is the place for you. The cabin is situated on 17 acres of beautifully rolling hills directly below Meadow Creek Mountain. For your canine family members (we allow up to 5 dogs...size doesn't matter and no pet fee). We offer 1/2 acre of fenced backyard so that they may run and play as well as a fenced deck. We've replaced the backyard fence and have added pictures showing the cabin with the new fence.

Our cabin has three bedrooms and two full baths. The Master bedroom has a king sized bed, and its own bathroom. The other two bedrooms each have a queen-sized bed.

The kitchen is fully stocked with pots and pans, a crock pot, electric roaster pan, coffee pot (regular Mr. Coffee type), toaster oven, four-slice toaster, and many other items for folks who want to do their own cooking. There is seating for 6 at the kitchen table.

The living room has a flat screen TV with a DVD player available for your convenience.

The back porch is where everyone likes to sit and enjoy the view. There is a large hot tub on the deck with two separate sitting areas. We have a professional gas grill that is hooked up to our large propane tank so you will never have to worry about bringing your own propane. There are also BBQ utensils so you don't have to bring those. The backyard and upper deck are fully fenced for the safe containment of your pets and younger children.

Our Farm:

We have a working farm in the foothills of the Cherokee National Forest. Our farm is 100+ years old (it was originally a dairy farm back in 1900) and has an extensive history. The cabin was originally the hired man's house (although it has been totally renovated) and the 120+ year old farmhouse across the street is where we live. An avenue divides the cabin and the farmhouse which allows everyone to have their privacy. We will welcome our guests when they first check in to make sure everything is okay at the cabin. We are out and about twice a day to feed and/or check on the Llamas and horses; if our guests have questions about the Llamas/horses then we are available. We are always available if there are issues with the cabin. Otherwise, we try and stay invisible so our guests have their privacy.

When you are walking around the property, our four equines (including a miniature mule and one miniature donkey) will often come up to the fence to welcome the “newcomers.” It’s amazing how many dogs have never been “up close and personal” with a horse! Our horses (and mule and donkey) used to be able to graze in the hilly pasture by the cabin. These "equines" are now quite elderly (Sweetie is 33; Tucker is 35; Ernest is 22 and Emma is 20) and it's too scary to have them graze in that pasture. Guests can still see and interact with them in the flat pasture that's across from our mailbox. It's about a 2-minute walk and they will be there to greet you, especially is there's carrots involved!

The hilly pasture by the cabin is now a great place to view wildlife. We have a herd of deer that is always in the pasture (including beautiful fawns throughout the year); wild turkey; ground hogs; rabbits; squirrels; many types of birds, and one year we had a fox with two kits! Although we've missed the viewing sometimes bear will be seen walking down the road below the cabin. In the spring, you may see the granddaddy of all snapping turtles moving from the pond below the cabin, up to the pond below our farmhouse. This guy is huge and has been here as long as we've lived here (22+ years) and he always makes his trip from one pond to the other. As you can see, there's always something unique to see at the farm!

Our Llamas are housed in a pasture that has a barn on both ends of the pasture. Lately, they have been staying in the barn area towards the back of the pasture, although they may come up to greet cabin guests. In the morning and late afternoon they tend to graze in the pasture by the cabin so you may be able to see them at that time. Be aware that Llamas are more like cats than dogs. If they want to come and visit with the guests they will do so, otherwise the guests must go to them. There's a nice "avenue" that guests can walk down to see the Llamas if they are in the back barn. We are so happy to have these wonderful animals as a part of our farm family!

If you are going to arrive after dark then PLEASE let us know...we send directions but it is difficult in a rural area to follow directions after sunset. We encourage all of our guests to please try to arrive before dark...otherwise contact us so we will be available if you need assistance driving to the cabin.
