My husband and I brought our six kids during Thanksgiving week. Boys (18, 10, 3), girls (16, 13), and our newborn. We hosted extended family from the Knoxville area during the daytime so that we wouldn’t overwhelm them by bringing our kids to their houses! Cooking for everyone worked out fine all week with the cookware provided. We ordered our Thanksgiving meal from a local store because making a turkey dinner would have been a little too much, as we didn’t bring a giant roasting pan or anything.
We enjoyed our time SO much! The house is so clean and much cuter than the photos show. It is very homey inside and the remodel is very well done. Furnishings and decor are wonderful. The beds are super comfortable. So many amenities here as well.
The owners thought of everything! Granola bars greeted us when we stumbled in late at night from Chicago. Perfect for the kids! There was an array of large shampoo, conditioner and body wash bottles to choose from in the bathroom, as well as feminine products tucked in a drawer. The large washer and dryer worked well and offered a variety of laundry detergents. There are basics in the kitchen, like olive oil and a pretty display of tea bags and honey! We could go on and on. Just know that there are many extras in the house that are not listed on the website.
The farm is so lovely and relaxing. Keith gave us a tour and we learned some very interesting things as well. We were able to go into the pasture with Keith and his young sons to pet the sheep and brown and black cows. We also met Elvis the goat, who has one giant horn. There are a bunch of white ducks guarded by a white goose in a pen. Chickens roam freely and there is a rooster who can be heard at times. The farm is hilly and has large trees surrounding it on some sides. Very pretty.
For kids there is a small swing set behind the house, as well as some wooden toys. There are children’s books and games, as well as puzzles for the older kids and adults. We used the playing cards when extended family came over. Also a large TV in the living room and medium sized TV mounted in the master bedroom.
There is a front porch with rocking chairs and a back deck with a table and four chairs. When we had our Thanksgiving meal Keith was thoughtful and asked us if we needed to borrow a card table and chairs, which we did. The dining room table seats 8.
It is very difficult to find in the dark, even with GPS. Just FYI!
