What a beautiful place! The drive into the property is gorgeous. We met William upon arrival and his friendliness was so inviting. We ventured to his shop and gallery. What a treat! Then it was onto the hike up the hill to the cabin. Steep, yes! But what a glorious reward at the top. The cabin had all we needed from bedding to wood burning stove and a bottle of fresh spring water. The huge windows allowed us to watch deer meander down the hillside and watch the rain fall steadily. The outhouse was so welcome. It was cozy and quite comfy! We enjoyed the hike around the property which was very well marked. An overall wonderful quiet relaxing place to get away. We stopped on the way out to watch as an owl flew to the tree top after hunting in the creek. We look forward to returning and are thankful to have such a wonderful retreat so close to home.

A work of art

I don't know how many times I can say it, but WOW! Everything about this trip was unforgettable. The hike, the cabin, the woods, the art studio, William's cabin and homestead, Rocket! I've never felt so in awe both by art and nature and the combination of them both in the same place.

Such a Blessed Stay!

I had such a good time! The reset was much needed! I enjoyed my stay so much that I ended up leaving on the 3rd day just to get my youngest daughter to finish out the last 2 days! She had a blast and helped me get back in touch with my inner child! Thank you for facilitating such a beautiful space for healing and rejuvenating ones soul!

Cabin in the woods

If you’re looking to truly get away then this is the place for you! William met us upon our arrival and was very kind and helpful - we really appreciated it as the hike up is no joke. His workshop and gallery is a must see - such beautiful work!!! Our dog and Rocket played like they were best friends…so cool! It was truly a unique experience we would highly recommend!

Camping with our 2 dogs!

Williams place was great and the first time we have camped in TN with our 2 pups and came home without a single tick!! Beautiful area and William was so helpful and accommodating - even checked on our pups for us when we were gone longer than we thought! We can’t wait to come back!

Awesome cabin!

William was a great host, got to see his incredible wood workings at his shop. Plus the dog Rocket was the sweetest boy. It is quite the hike up to the cabin but very much worth it!
