Peaceful stay for the whole family!

My family and I enjoyed our stay at the Hayloft. We were in town to catch up and visit but not really interested in all the touristy things. We spent most of our time hanging out in the main room playing pool or cards. The sleeping arrangements really were the main draw to this space. The Hayloft is no Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous accommodation, just a comfortable, rustic cabin on a beautiful piece of property. Thanks for the great stay!

Plenty of space to enjoy the views.

We enjoyed our visit to the Hayloft. It was clean and a little like going to your grandparents house. Overall, it could use some updating but we still enjoyed it and had a great trip with plenty of space. The pool table was fun for the guys and my granddaughter loved petting the horses. I wish we had booked a ride for her in advance!

The property was beautiful, the cabin was out of this world, very clean and great for a family with kids. The pool table was a hit with the kids. Location was perfect. In the country but very close to very thing. We booked it again for next summer

Amazingly peaceful spot! Great place to get away!

We took my 18 year old and a friend the week he started freshman year at college. The owners were so friendly - I we felt like we were living on a family farm. The boys did a horseback ride and developed an affection for their horses and made an immediate trip to buy carrots to feed them. They fished, swam, picnicked, hiked, played pool and made hot dogs and s’mores. Cabin has lots of stairs but I needed a good workout! 😜. We would stay there again in a heartbeat - my soul is renewed!!!!!

Amazing trip

We stayed in the hayloft and LOVED it! We were looking for a place that was secluded, peaceful, and quiet to unwind as a family. This place provided all of that and more. We enjoyed every thing about this property. It is absolutely beautiful. The management was so nice and helpful. My daughter went on a horse back ride and had the best experience. We would recommend this property to anyone:

Perfect mountain getaway!

We had a wonderful stay at the Hayloft! Accommodations were clean and comfortable and the view was amazing! We enjoyed the hot tub and the fire pit, but the horseback ride was the highlight of our trip! Jeff and Nicole were friendly and responsive. Great place to relax and unwind.

Weird floor plan

Owner was super nice. Floor plan was awkward…had to walk thru bathroom to get to one of the bedrooms. Busy with extra people around outside for awhile as they were preparing to host a wedding after we left.

Wonderful stay in a quiet spot!

We had a wonderful experience at the Hayloft. The home itself is beautiful and the setting was perfect for us - close to the park but away from the crowds in Gatlinburg. Entry to the park was super easy and there were nice amenities right nearby (dining, grocery, gas station, etc). Jeff was really easy to work with and was quick to reply to questions. We would love to stay here again!

Perfect for small family renunion

This was our first time booking the Hayloft Sky Cabin. We had a small sibling reunion for eight adults and between the Sky Cabin, Octagon Suite, and Morning View Suite we all had enough room and privacy for a three-night stay. The Sky Cabin also provided us with the perfect gathering place with the deck, patio, and game room. We continue to come back to this property because it is so beautiful and the owners, April and Jeff are so nice and easy to work with.

We fell in Love!

My words will not do it justice! This property and the people who own it are nothing short of amazing. Truly salt of the earth people! We weren’t sure what we were getting ourselves into staying on a horse farm, but we fell in love. Jeff and his family took such great care of us. They were most welcoming and just let us be apart of their slice of heaven on earth for 4 short days. They made us feel like we’ve known them forever and also gave us all the privacy we needed as well. The loft was perfect and so well equipped with every amenity needed. But of all the wonderful things there are to see and do here, the Horses stole our hearts. Thank you so much for the wonderful memories made. We can’t wait to come back.

The Hills were Alive with the Sound of Music

Easy to find and get to. Very convenient location to Townsend, Cades Cove & Gatlinburg, but felt like you were worlds away! Stunning mountain views, as well as rolling hills. Quiet & peaceful farm setting. Loved seeing horses grazing just outside your window. Kids loved visiting the horses in their stables and the friendly chickens. Plenty of fields to explore and two nice little hiking trails. Beautiful chimes from a local church echoed through the valley on the hour. Spacious living/game room. Kitchen well equipped with dishes and cookware. We cooked all our own meals. Warm and cozy, felt like home away from home. Owners were so friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend. Definitely plan to come back!! We were so sad to leave!

Girls weekend

My girls and I wanted a fun, local weekend getaway with friends to celebrate their birthdays. We found The Hayloft and fell in love. The pictures show you EXACTLY what the property looks like. The owners are QUICK to reply to any questions or concerns and fantastic! Everything we needed (down to extra toilet paper) was provided. The best and easiest staycation ever!! The teens were excited to feed the horses, pet the chickens and be in the hot tub. We played lots of games, had tons of laughs and enjoyed an amazing stay. We would HIGHLY recommend others to stay here and use the venue as well for weddings, the property was fabulous for all types of events. Quick access to town, easy to find and right at the mountains. Overall, we had an amazing trip, plenty of space for everyone to spread out and everyone had so much fun. I highly recommend you to stay here!! Whether a few people or several, you won't be disappointed!
