A return to what matters.

Cook with what you harvest, learn to live off the land, and spend whole days with the people you came with.

A letter from the family

Homestead Farmhouse began with a simple longing — for a slower, fuller kind of living. Somewhere you could wake to mist over the pasture, gather eggs at dawn, and cook a meal made entirely of things you watched grow.

So we set out to build it: a working farm in the Tennessee Smoky Mountains, where the lodge, the gardens, and the trails all share one piece of land.

Come for a weekend or stay a week. You can fill your days with trail rides, cooking classes, and off-grid workshops — or empty them entirely and simply be here.

It’s built for couples seeking romance, families craving adventure, and solo travelers looking to slow down — anyone ready to trade the noise for open sky and good company.

And it’s a family endeavor in the truest sense: one family’s land, built to be cared for, grown, and handed down. We’re building it to last — and setting a place for you.

Where Country Living Meets Unforgettable Adventure.

Imagery elsewhere depicts the homestead as designed — these photographs are the land itself, exactly as we found it.
