My late husband and myself bought the property in 1983 and it was all just overgrown land! We worked, cleared, built horse shelters/barns, cabins, cut trails, built the outdoor chapel for our wedding and of course fenced it all in for the horses! Started sharing with guests in 1993, so we have met so many amazing folks from all over the world! Pass thru our gate into another world and leave all your worries and tensions behind. We are all about getting back to what is real -- nature, animals/horses and each other. Complete privacy! There are many mountain trails leaving right from our property! Lots to explore. You can even hike to the outdoor chapel with the pretty view of the Chilhowee Mountain range. It is a short hike to the barn area for those who want to spend time pet horses, cuddle with bunnies and feed chickens, enjoy the fainting goats etc Mini horses can walked and groomed after taking class ( reservation needed/ fee )! Every morning and night we set a time for all those who want to become involved with the care/feeding of petting animals and horses!

Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
Twin Valley Horse Ranch offers a rustic and immersive camping experience that stands out for its friendly atmosphere and animal interactions. The ranch is a place where guests can connect with nature, encountering a variety of animals that roam the expansive property. While the cabins are basic and the setting is quite remote, the lack of modern amenities like Wi-Fi adds to the charm for those looking to truly disconnect. However, some visitors have noted issues with the state of the cabins and surrounding areas, indicating a need for maintenance and cleanliness improvements.

The ranch was beautiful and expansive with lots of amazing animals! The cabin was definitely roughing it. A small shack up a deep hill. Be prepared to go full on caveman for this one! I had a great time! Hope to see Janice again :)

Everything is a close walk, the creek/lake is pretty central to everything and it has plenty of fish. Although the fish seem to only bite for meat not artificial bait. Once you have meat on the hook you can see them show up in groups for it. All the animals were friendly, or at least curious about us and gentle with our toddler. July makes it too hot and too mosquito-ee to get out and enjoy the trails but the land was beautiful and have no cell service preventing those never ending work calls and emails was amazing as well.

Twin Valley Horse Ranch and Bed & Breakfast is such a delightful place! This is our second visit, and we truly appreciate how Janice has created a warm and welcoming environment that is also dog-friendly. Finding spots that welcome us and our furry friends can be tough, so we’re grateful for this special place. Luke’s Cabin is cozy and comfortable, equipped with everything you might need. We also love that here, you can disconnect and enjoy the tranquility without Wi-Fi. It’s a perfect home base for exploring the beautiful Smokey Mountains and nearby attractions, especially Dollywood, which is just about a 30-minute drive away. Whether you want to fill your days with adventures or simply relax by the lake or fire pit and spend time with the animals, there’s plenty to enjoy. We recommend all of Janice’s wonderful facilities, but our personal favorite is Luke’s Cabin.
