The Homestead is beautiful and peaceful. Having a place that has a fenced in yard for the fur baby is so helpful and convenient. This is the most clean place and has everything you could need for a getaway/vacation. The owners and John are the best people you'll meet. We will be back!

excellent property, better than advertised.

This is an excellent place to stay. it was very neat, clean and comfortable. But one of the nicest things about it were all the little extras the host has made available. like snacks and a large array of toiletries etc. Seems like little things but to someone who traveled a lot in his career the " the little things mean a lot" when you are away from home.

Merry Christmas at Farmstead

My husband and I and our dog had a wonderful stay over Christmas. The house was clean and comfortable and exceeded our expectations! The house was equipped with everything we needed plus lots of unexpected extras. The house has a lot of history, and we enjoyed learning about it from our friendly hosts. Great location to explore the area. We can't wait to return!

First off, I have never stayed in a cleaner rental than Billie and John's Farmstead. They make you feel so welcoming with all the little extras they add. Our whole stay there just had that warm relaxing feel. The fenced in area for our dog was a great addition to our stay. He even felt at home! And Billie and John are just the sweetest couple. We will definitely be back to visit. If you're visiting this area, this is the one!

We arrived during the time of Hurricane Helene. our hosts Billie and John went out of their way to notify us that there was no power. They even waited for us to arrive due to the dark roads. They checked in with us daily to make sure we were ok as all cell and internet was out for the week following the storm. They were very welcoming of ourselves and our dogs!

Quite renovated farm house-Welcoming hosts

My adult son and I stayed at Farmstead. The house was newly renovated. Property was well maintained and the house was spotless. The owners stopped by to make sure we had what we needed but did not intrude on our stay. They were very welcoming. I would highly recommend this property if you want a clean, reasonably priced, quiet house to stay in. It was only a 5 minute drive to downtown Elizabethon.

The Sweetest Host

The host communicated with us about how to access the house as we were getting in later than expected, The house was the cleanest house I have ever stayed. She and her husband let us know all of the attractions we could enjoy. They were very helpful in guiding us when ice was forming on the roads up the mountain to Beech Mountain. Also, there were supplies in the house if we had forgotten anything. They also had a very nice fire pit surrounded by chairs where our children enjoyed s'mores! We will for sure stay here again!!

Wonderful Country Farmhouse

If you’re looking for a clean and comfortable home to stay in, then look no further. The kitchen was immaculate and well stocked with items you would need while on vacation. All three bedrooms and the bathroom (with washer and dryer) were exceptionally clean and well maintained. Scarlett, our small dog, loved the fenced backyard! The property comes with two covered porches, fire pit, backyard with privacy fence and plenty of parking. The highlight, however, are the owners: Billie and John. Rarely will you find owners as nice, thoughtful and accommodating as these two. They’re just as wonderful as their country farmhouse! So, if you’re looking for a place to stay while in NE Tennessee, stay here.
