Be one of the first to stay at this unique property.
Experience a place that, prior to being featured on the Discovery Channel, was known only to a few locals.
Privately tucked away in a 3 acre wooded hollow, is a place like no other. Driving in, the three story, fully functioning, authentic 1798 grist mill will greet, charm & fascinate. Note: Mill is not open to the public so you will have the property all to yourselves during your stay.
This property has been an iron forge, foundry; and a mill (for locals and moonshiners alike) for the past 222 years. The cabin, hidden behind the mill, was built much sooner as a private residence. This property is now, for the first time in history, available for you to enjoy. By staying here you will also be contributing to the preservation and upkeep of this wonderful piece of history for future generations.
Hidden behind the mill is the cabin on Dumplin Creek. Newly furnished throughout. King & queen bedrooms upstairs, a newly remodeled bathroom downstairs, quaint kitchen, living room & hidden laundry.
If it couldn’t get any better than this, sit on one of the front porch rockers or swing and be relaxed by your own private cascading creek! Historic Dumplin Creek runs right through the middle of the property, has a 5ft deep swimming hole and is even known to have a fish or two. Explore the trail behind the cabin (at your own risk) where the old mill race runs, all the way to the sluice gate and dam, which is also part of this enchanting property.
Cook out on the grill, picnic, or roast marshmallows on the fire pit, all creek side.
Living away from it all, you may feel like Davy Crockett, and keep in mind that you are only a few minutes away from the second oldest town in Tennessee, one of the most scenic (& best fishing) lakes around and within a short drive to Pigeon Forge and The Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
With nature abounding, history and all the attractions that the area has to offer, what could be better? You can be one of the first to find out, but be forewarned, you may not want to leave.
Update: We now have the latest and greatest fiber optics 5G high speed wireless internet capability. Recently installed in the neighborhood and available to all our guests.
Note: The inside of the old grist mill, located on this property, is not available to the public, nor (for safety reasons) is it available for our guests to go inside.
