Hubs and I visited for Valentine’s Day weekend. This property is stunning!! It was very clean, comfortable, and relaxing. Not far from some really good restaurants, and step outside to pet the horses and sheep. Lovely stay!
Perfect stay! Especially if you have pets to bring.
Couldn’t have asked for more. Property is HUGE, plenty of space to park. Owners are very friendly and are willing to accommodate just about anything. We got a late start to our trip, thus arrived 10 hours later than expected (5AM.) A simple message/phone call to the owners and they left the place open for us. Our dog had a great time on the property. The room did not smell of any pets when we arrived. I would stay again if visiting the area.
Why pay much more for a hotel when you can get a place like this for less a day. If you have a trailer, boat anything and everything is safe on this property.
My wife and I stayed at the stables for 4 nights and were very happy with the stay. The owner is extremely helpful, the place was clean and had literally everything we needed for the stay. We bring a tote on every VRBO stay as there is always something, sometimes many things, you run into needing. We never even cracked it open on this stay. Unfortunately it rained almost the whole time we were there so we didn't get to explore as much as we would have liked, but getting to see the animals and the little bit we were able to explore was very enjoyable. We will definitely stay here again when we're in the area.
We were unable to stay at their location due to a last-minute medical emergency, but our host was thoughtful enough to donate our reservation to a couple in need of a place to stay. Just knowing this makes me want to try again and book with this host, aside from the fact that it looks like it is a relaxing place to stay. Hopefully next time we will have a chance to also enjoy this gem of a place.
The place was just as advertised, and set on a beautiful plot of land. Some farm animals around for you to stare at and eventually they'll warm up to you. I wish I could've done more exploring on the property because it is nice. Will definitely look for this place again in the future. Dave and Wendy were great hosts, and incredibly hospitable. No complaints.
The entire property was pristine! The accommodations were spotless and perfectly appointed. David was an incredible host who met us at the door at midnight to show us around. He even honored a special request for us.
The linens were luxurious, bed super comfortable and kitchenette stocked with everything you could need!
We will definitely stay again! Thank you!
Could not have had a more perfect weekend in the mountains. From a personal check in process with Mrs Mary to waking every morning to have coffee (and carrots) with the horses, it was amazing. Clean, fully stocked and beautiful views to boot! Located 1 mile from a winery and The Lost Sea!!! Could not have asked for more!!! Thanks David and Mary for opening up your paradise to us!
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this lovely studio VRBO property in Sweetwater, TN, and I cannot recommend it enough! The property was exceptionally clean and situated in a stunning country setting, surrounded by serene views of horses and sheep. The interior was well appointed and beautifully furnished with charming country-style furniture, making it feel both cozy and elegant. Dave, the host, was incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure I had a great stay. I’m already looking forward to my next visit to Sweetwater and will definitely stay here again. It was perfect!
Enjoy a glass of wine while watching the sunset in the rolling hills of Sweetwater, TN. Property owners were very nice and enjoyed staying in the quiet, clean and comfortable studio apartment beside the stable. Would definitely vacation there again.
Made a quick trip to see one of my daughters at college. Brought her 6 y/o sister along for the surprise. The property is nestled beautifully is some of the most beautiful scenery you can imagine. The property is quiet at night & the hosts are A+. The horses love to eat out of your hand as well as some of the sheep. My 6y/o gives it her approval & has notified me that we will be going back there.
