Welcome to our serene and rejuvenating private getaway nestled within 1 square mile of forested beauty. The 'For'est Sanctuary offers an unparalleled experience where nature meets comfort, allowing you and your group to unwind and reconnect with the tranquil surroundings.
We have added multiple tree swings throughout the forest.
We are uniquely situated on the edge of the Tennessee Cumberland Plateau and the Tennessee river valley. We are currently offering 4 treehouse dwellings to share our peaceful land full of God's promises. The dwellings are spaced far enough apart for privacy yet not to far of a walk to the common area where the kitchen and shower are. You'll be surprised at how cool the tents stay under the forest canopy in the heat of summer. Then in the colder months we have various heating options to keep you cozy in 3 of the dwellings. Come to share this with us, it's an amazingly peaceful area.
Nearly 3 miles of hiking trails to enjoy during your visit. Take a spur trail off the main trail loop and there is a prayer shelter with a fire pit inspired by Luke 6:12 in the back corner of the property. Located at the edge of the prairie on the main trail is a sunrise/sunset/bird-watching platform that is 20 feet in the air with a 2 stage bridge to access it. We updated the outdoor kitchen with a 3 burner propane stove, Blackstone grill and hot running water with a 3 bay sink. Other cooking options include a tripod over the fire and a charcoal grill.
A short 10-minute drive to fire tower rd. brings you to a 2 mile loop trail with 2 waterfalls, Upper and Lower Piney Falls. Ozone falls is just a 20 minute drive. Then toward Spring City is Stinging Fork Falls at 25 minutes. Black mountain is my new favorite place especially the south overlook! The Hiking possibilities are nearly endless and close. I'll highlight one thru hike here since both trailheads are only 20 minutes away and is easy to coordinate with only 2 vehicles. It's a 10.2 mile hike that can be done in either direction and has a little something for everyone including a cave, boulder field, cascade and waterfall. Then you have massive Watts Bar Lake which is only 20 minutes away with a plethora of activities including the excursions we offer!
We look forward to hosting you!

Wake up to a beautiful view. We have a secluded, fenced 20-acre farm with a spring-fed creek, a pond, and cozy cabins to accompany them. The property features multiple sitting areas with campfires, picnic tables, and hammocks. The large pond is perfect for a swim or for catching sizable largemouth bass, and the wooded areas make for a fun exploration experience.

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!

I loved spending a night glamping here while breaking up a long drive. The bed was comfortable, and the tent was well-equipped with everything I needed. The short walk to the stables for the bathroom and a refreshing hot/cold shower was easy and convenient. The views were beautiful, making it an even more enjoyable stay. I would definitely recommend it!

Really beautiful little campground. The swimming hole was lovely, the waterfall and fishing hole hikes were beautiful. The small cabin I stayed in was clean and cozy and in good working order. Staff was friendly and helpful. The bathrooms were clean but had a funky smell... I have a suspicion another camper was vaping in them while I was there. It should be noted that the interstate is not far away. Though not loud or obtrusive, you could hear the hum of traffic 24/7

1 night at Twin Valley Horse Ranch
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.

We really liked the cabin and its rustic yet contemporary feel. However, it seems like it wasn’t intended for use during Tennessee summers where it can be 80+ degrees inside at night. There was a propane heater which I imagine would make this a really cozy place in colder months but obviously we didn’t need it for our stay. The fans & power bank that the host provides plus having the windows opened helped but it was still uncomfortable.

The property is beautiful and comfortable. The loft has everything you need to have a great time away. Clean and air conditioned, we were so happy to spend the days in the outdoors but have the hideaway to come back to. We picked it because it is close to our favorite TN state park, Fall Creek Falls, which is only 15 minutes away.
Krys was so lovely and welcoming! She had our son collect fresh eggs from her hens, which was an absolute highlight of his trip. My family loved staying here and we absolutely look forward to coming back!

There was an amazing amount of sleeping options in the tiny space, with a semi-private queen size bed with full linens, a full size futon, and 2 twin beds in the loft. There is also a hammock on the covered porch, tons of lounge chairs both with and without cushions, and a full table with chairs. Shower toiletries, soft and strong toilet paper, dishwashing liquid, and towels are all included.
The toilet flushes, the outdoor shower heats up and I cant think of anything the outdoor kitchen is missing! My kids also appreciated playing with the cards and jenga.
The creek is nearly dry, but we are in a heat dome this week (a couple battery operated fans we brought cooled both rooms enough for sleep). No electricity, but everything else you could want in glamping is there.
If you forget basics or just want a soda, there is a convenience store maybe a couple miles down the street.

We were greeted on arrival, shown to our parking and given the lay of the land with great courtesy. Our family of four slept peacefully in the big tent, no pest intrusions or temperature issues. Our 5 year old loved the space as a giant playground, hopping across circled stumps and discovering the swings as she explored. My wife loved the unpretentious tone and how well equipped the outdoor kitchen is. The highlight for us was our dog’s experience. He immediately became best friends with the homestead dogs and had the absolute time of his life during our short stay.

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.
