It was a perfect getaway!!! The property is breathtakingly beautiful. Joy and David are amazing hosts. We stay there 5 nights and 4 days. Part of the barn was converted into a small, quaint apartment with all the comforts of home and located about 10 miles from town. The small town of Sparta was fabulous with great shops and restaurants. Several parks and waterfalls to keep us covered in nature. Will definitely stay there again.
Such a beautiful place! Had everything we could possibly need for a long weekend to visit our son. We will definitely stay again. Thank you for having us!
This place was perfect. The views are gorgeous and the accommodations are adorable. I wish we had more time to stay there and actually enjoy the place. The owners are absolutely wonderful and were very responsive. We will definitely be returning the next time we are in town.
Honestly I was a little apprehensive about the apartment but I was pleasantly surprised. It was great and my husband and I loved our stay there. We spent two nights and drove to several waterfalls. It was so nice to come home to that apartment after and just relax.
From the apartment in the barn, to the colorful decor, and the most welcoming hosts ever.....we couldn't have had a nicer stay. We will definitely be back.
Enjoyed our quick trip to Sparta to see relative. This was a perfect spot to relax and visit family in the area. Joy was a gracious hostess. We will be back.
Awesome property with beautiful views of the countryside. Joy is a wonderful host and accommodated any small needs during my stay. Would recommend to anyone!
Nice place to rest our heads while discovering East TN
Beautiful property! We enjoyed our stay over the weekend, very clean, and comfortable. My husband was very pleased with a comfortable bed for once in a rental. Joy was a Joy! We would definitely book again!
Everything about this stay was spectacular. The property owners went above and beyond to accommodate our changes in arrival time and even had breakfast, snacks and candy waiting on us when we arrived. The property was even better than pictured! We will definitely be returning and even trying out some of their other properties.
The property is stunning, on expansive wooded acreage to walk/explore. This is no ordinary rental; this is where stress and anxiety melt away. The peaceful seclusion will bring you a sense of deep peace.
The rental is adorable and well stocked with careful amenities to make you feel like home. I especially enjoyed the location. Close enough to town, retsaurants, stores, antiquing and hiking trails.
I will m9st definitely be back!
Three little letters WOW! This was a beautiful and peaceful place to stay. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get away from it all. My wife and I can't wait to go again.
If you are looking for a getaway, need to unwind and relax, this is it! The barn apartment had everything we needed and was extremely clean! Would definitely stay here again!
Great place if your looking for some peace and quiet!
My wife and I really enjoyed the stay with our 2 dogs. There is plenty of room for your dogs to run even if you canât leave them off leash. The property is fenced so you donât have to worry. Would definitely stay again.
My husband and I enjoyed getting away from it all and were able to relax on this beautiful property. We brought our dogs with us and they had a blast with all of that outdoor space. Joy is a delight and we hope to return someday!
I usually respond within a day or two with a quick review of my stay experience, but with this property and our wonderful encounter with the owners, the words needed to be as perfect as possible to capture the depth of our appreciation. I rented the "Charming Country Getaway" as a stopping off point for my move to Tennessee and arrived after two long days of travel in a rental truck pulling my car. I was concerned about parking for the "big rig", but need not have worried because the owner, Joy, not only assured me via text that there was plenty of space, but guided me up the long driveway in the rain and helped with getting us in the perfect spot to unload. She was cheerful, welcoming and immediately helped us feel at home. The barn and stables are beautiful and the apartment was decorated with many colorful and thoughtful touches. The beauty of this location is breathtaking and spiritual, and my sister and I remarked over and over how refreshed we felt just sitting outside and watching the fog lift each morning on the mountain...we even saw turkeys, a deer with two fawns, and numerous colorful birds each day. Joy and David are wonderful hosts--we came as tired strangers but left renewed with special friends. We will definitely return!
We are a blend of Florida pioneer and Tennessee hillbilly! David is a fifth generation Floridian, whose ancestors were true Florida pioneers in the early 1800's, rooted in citrus, cattle and pineapple plantations. Joy's family history began in the hills of East Tennessee. Together we have sought to provide unique properties that evoke these rich heritages for travelers who want to step away from busy lives and decompress in a simple, quiet paradise. In addition to this historic Tennessee farmhouse, we have two listings in "Old Florida." Check out Crystal River Hideaway and Manatee Hideaway (in Ft. White, Florida on the Santa Fe River)
As a native Tennessean, I've seen just about all of this grand state, and when my husband and I saw this property, we knew it was a very special place -- definitely the most beautiful area I have seen! Not only beautiful, it is a restful place to retreat to and unwind. You can almost feel the rich history of this 1800s farm and surrounding countryside pulling you back in time!
