GREAT PLACE FOR FARMHOUSE SPRING CELEBRATION: The “Great Smoky Mountains National Park” celebrated its 75th anniversary last year. Most of our visitors are familiar with the “Park” and the special beauty of our area. Add to this all the various resort activities available and you have the reason that we are the most visited national park in the nation. Many people think that the fall color season peaks the third week in October but this year they really just got started that week. Back in 1910, twenty five years before the park was organized, Sevier County was a very remote farming and logging community. This was the year that the Sims family built “ Caroline’s River Farmhouse” on the bank of the Middle Prong of the Little Pigeon River. This home is a well known landmark in the mountain and farming community and has been photographed and painted by many well know artists. An example can be found in the Robert Tino Gallery. In fact, this is a perfect place for artists and writers to relax. We have just recently prepared the home for your unique family experience. It is especially geared toward families with young children and allows them to learn about things past while having a fun vacation. If you are interested in history and old time activities this is the place for your vacation or long weekend. Of course the home has all the modern ammenities, such as LCD-HD TV with cable, DVD PLAYER, Washer & Dryer, WIFI and a brand new kitchen. Activities include badminton, croquet, horseshoes, fishing, wading and playing in the river or floating along in an inner tube. Wake up in the morning and hear your neighbors “the cows” mooing away and see the early sun bouncing off the river. Each rental party will receive a dozen fresh eggs from the chickens living in the hen spa on the property and a loaf of home made whole wheat sourdough bread so be sure and have a farmhouse breakfast. The kitchen is fully equipped. There are 3 bedrooms, one with a double bed, one with a queen and single and one with two singles. There is only one bathroom, fully equipped, that was added sometime in the eighties. It is indoors and the outhouse had been retired. Visit our web site for more photos and feel free to call anytime to have questions answered. We think you will have a good time.
We purchased the property in 2006. It was a 65 acre farm. We restored the 1910 farmhouse and moved in while we built a new home on the same property. The home is on the bank of the Little Pigeon River and there is a very old walnut tree to picnic under. This is a unique place to take a Smoky Mountain Vacation and perfect for families to enjoy old fashion fun. You'll find fresh cut flowers on your table and a dozen fresh eggs with a loaf of my whole wheat sourdough bread. I look forward to your visit.
The most unique benefit of our property is the river in your front yard. You can walk out in the morning and catch small mouth bass, red-eyes and the kids can turn over rocks for crawdads. The location is private with a 1/2 mile driveway and the only other home is ours. Private yet only 5.7 miles, about 10 minutes, from Dollywood and Splash Country. You can hear the train whistle blow from outside. Pigeon Forge and all the action is only another 2 minutes away. Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park are very close by. Your main neighbors are the cows and chickens. We hope the rooster does not wake you too early.
