Calm Country Oasis - Creek, ATV Trls & Norris Lake

Escape to rural bliss at our charming, historic farmhouse on ten scenic acres. Immerse yourself in county charm as you explore the tranquil creek running through the property. Relax under the stars by the exterior firepit. Minutes away, you'll find thrilling ATV trails, hiking routes, and the sparkling waters of Norris Lake. Whether you seek outdoor adventure or peaceful relaxation, our farmhouse offers the perfect retreat for unforgettable memories.

Nestled within a stunning farm property, this home boasts a tranquil creek that winds around the grounds, offering serene exploration. Discover remnants of the historic "Roger Mill" and a charming stream meandering alongside the house. Inside, three inviting bedrooms await: one exuding a clean, bright atmosphere with a queen-sized bed, another adorned with a delightful nautical theme and a twin-sized bed, and a third boasting rustic farmhouse-style charm with a full-sized bed. The farmhouse-style master bedroom features an ensuite master bathroom with a spacious vanity, shower/tub combo, and a separate workspace. Additional bathroom amenities include a shower/tub combo and large vanity. The fully equipped kitchen beckons culinary adventures with its amenities, including a stove, microwave, and Keurig. Gather around the six-person dining table for family meals or cozy up in the living room for movie nights. Seek solace in the bright and airy sunroom, where you can enjoy scenic views without sacrificing air conditioning. Outside, indulge in fireside relaxation by the creek or savor grilled delights at the patio station.

Located in the mountains of East Tennessee just a few miles away from Norris Lake and Blue Springs Marina, 20 minutes from plenty of hiking at the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, only an hour from Knoxville, and 1.5 hours from the Pigeon Forge/Sevierville/Gatlinburg area.

So Disappointed
Our visit was great. It was the lack of follow through afterwards that has been beyond disappointing. My son left a jacket at the property, and it was found. I've asked so many times if it can be sent to us and that I'll pay for shipping, and have been told that it will happen. But ... it's been more than three months and there is no action. I travel regularly and this is not what good looks like.

Peaceful
We have stayed at quite a few places, and I can honestly say that this was my favorite. The home was exactly as described in the listing and the minute you opened the front door you could tell it was clean and comfortable. The outside was very peaceful with the waterfall and the firepit and string lights at night make it the perfect place for smores. We definitely will be back and highly recommend staying here..

Late Christmas gathering
We rented this house for a Christmas gathering and it was perfect for us! Plenty of space, good location for everyone and had everything we needed. We look forward to coming back in June! The host was very responsive, we even added 2 extra days to our stay!

Long weekend
The farm style house has great bones and is very unique with lots of character. We enjoyed the quite location that it offers with no distraction. It's just a short walk to the creek where you can enjoy the fire pit while listening to the sounds of the water flowing over the old mill dam. We will definitely be back.

Outdated
The house itself is cute, but obviously very old and nothings been updated, which is okay. But there is an obvious plumbing and sewage problem, the odor of raw sewage is strong.

Beautiful property!
We had such a great stay! We loved playing in the creek, having fires at night in the fire pit, grilling out and spending a day at the lake. Blue Springs Marina is close-by, and it was just a short trip to gas stations or the store, if we needed something. We loved the charm of the property and would definitely stay again!
