About this property

Country Estate on Working Farm

Modern twist of a farmhouse styled home, this 2-story house has great space and great amenities. Though we mainly use this large house for our family farm wedding venue, we close off the downstairs for this VRBO listing and offer only the top main floor to be used. No one lives downstairs or occupies it during your stay. This allows us to just rent the top main floor for up to two guests for lodging.

Pinterest comes alive in each room mixing family heirlooms and an eclectic vibe in the details. We have turned this mid-80s home into a modern farmhouse vibe with gorgeous mountain and flower farm views. This main floor is very spacious and open and gives you a front row seat for a farm stay. Beyond the house, there is eye-candy overload with a bounty of gardens and scenic mountain views right out your window and even goats to visit at a nearby fenceline. This 75-acre family working farm just 20 minutes south of Chattanooga plus close to Cloudland Canyon, The Creag at McClemore, and Chickamauga National Park.

High Point Farms host many weddings throughout the year but in-between those, we offer this home for lodging options (along with two other on-site houses, if desired). The farm has boutique flower gardens where we seasonally grow cut flowers to facilitate our wedding business as well as some community events too. The farm is a private estate so it is not open to the public and we never host weddings during your stays - fyi, but do occasionally host "U-Pick" floral events at the Venue Barn but these will not impede on your privacy. That said, we are often in the gardens planting and maintaining our gardens, grandchildren may be riding their horses, or even photographers with photos sessions around and about the farm. There is plenty of space and privacy in this house but you do get a sense of being on a real authentic working farm..

The house is a two-story split foyer style home with the main floor being on top. It is not handicapped friendly nor infant proof so no children under three. It has a very spacious common area with the kitchen, dining, and living room area semi-joined. There is a TV in the Master Suite and in the living area plus fiber internet provides great reception and Wifi.

Master Suite (king bed) with connecting bathroom (shower). Powder room off from the hallway. Large living room open to kitchen open to dining room.

There are two other lodging houses on the property for those who want to schedule a family retreat or reunion.

There are many common areas to enjoy on the farm; meandering the gardens when in season, visiting the animals at various pasture fencelines, and making the loop around the hayfield with the views. Please do not go into any of the barns, any of the fenced pasture areas, and avoid the owner's houses (signs posted to help determine). With us being a working farm, we do have Great Pyrenees dogs on the property who are very friendly but their job is to protect their herd of goats, chickens, cows, and horses. If you are careful, you may feed Ritz type crackers to the goats through the fences. Be cautious since there is often an electric fence wire on top or bottom of the livestock page fencing. Avoid feeding the horses. Though they are all very friendly, horses have large teeth and your fingers can easily get confused with food.

We do allow you to bring your dog (no cats) as long as you abide by a few guidelines. $100/pet fee and only one, please. Do not allow your dog to be on the furniture or the beds. Do not leave your dog unattended inside unless the dog is crated. When your dog is outside, keep it leashed or under total verbal control. Bag up any of your dogs poops and drop into the outside garbage can under the deck.

Upgrades available:
1. Bonfire ($50) The bonfire pit is located by the Venue barn. It is encircled with cafe lights and adirondack chairs. Liability concerns require us to build the fire, light it, then let you enjoy the area exclusively.
2. Guided Farm Tour via Golf-Cart to learn about the Farm history and its activities. Takes almost an hour ($50) for 2.
3. Fresh Farm Bouquet $25/$35/$50) when in season
4. Fresh Farm Eggs $8/dozen
5. Visiting the goats at the fencelines are free of charge to enjoy but for those who want a "personalized" goat visit, choose this upgrade.($25).

*No Electric Vehicle Plug-Ins.
*No Smoking or Vaping of any sort Inside the House (always dispose of any cigarette butts in outdoor cans).
*No Children under 3 - Safety wise with all of the stairs and with a host of heirlooms in the house.
*This is not a party house - no uninvited guests without permission.

Restful and beautiful location!

Fantastic hosts, and beautiful property. My son and I came here to rest and recharge, and it was the perfect location. It was our first visit to the Chattanooga area, and the home’s location was perfect, and offered an escape from the hustle around us. The dogs, horses, and goats were such a joy to be around! We can’t wait to visit again!

Unbeleivable stay

Hard to find a single bad thing to say about our visit other than it was way too short. Super responsive and friendly host. Great venue. Loved the goats. Friendly dogs to pet. Wonderful layout for our Thanksgiving dinner. I can't wait to come back.

Relaxing Visit

In the area for family wedding activities with our two sons and their girlfriends. The farmhouse was a wonderful alternative to sterile hotel rooms. Relaxed on screen porch with our morning coffee. Played fetch with Jed, fed the goats and petted the horses. Wish we could stay longer!

Picturesque

Stayed for one night while passing through and wish we had more time. The property is lovely and serene. The house is wonderful, the perfect blend of rustic and modern. We arrived early evening and had no problem accessing the house. The family enjoyed chatting with the owner and feeding the goats. We may now come back just to visit the area more, it is very conveniently located to lots of activities that we’d like to try. Highly recommended.

Better than expected!

Our annual Christmas trip this year took us to Chattanooga. The farmhouse only being 15 min away from Chattanooga was the perfect location to have the quiet country mountain experience close to the city. The farmhouse was perfect size for our family of six. There was a well stocked kitchen to cook breakfast in the mornings with a long farm table that seats 12 or more. We had a bonfire Friday night which was the perfect backdrop to finish up our evening. It’s so peaceful and quiet out here even with multiple people staying at various residences on the property. We played games while relaxing on the screened in porch. We watched Clemson beat Ohio State Saturday night while eating delicious Community Pie take out pizza. Also impressive is when you are upstairs you can’t hear anything from downstairs. The beds were super comfortable. I would highly recommend Mimi’s Farmhouse. Some of the fun activities we did while visiting the area were Ruby Falls, Rock City, walked around downtown Chattanooga and Riverwalk art district. It was the perfect place to spend our Christmas trip!

Say “I do” to Mimi’s Guesthouse!

My family and I stayed at Mimi’s Guesthouse right before the Christmas Holidays. In a year when everything was different, Mimi’s was a welcomed respite from the craziness. The house was big with plenty of room for our teenagers to get away from us. However it also had comfortable places for us to gather as well, including the front porch where my sons were delighted to play and visit with the farm dogs. The story of how Mimi’s Guesthouse came to be is also very inspiring. The house, the intricate decorating details, and the warm atmosphere of the farm itself make it more than evident that Mimi herself once shared lots of love and hospitality and has been loved and honored by her family in return. The location of the property is great! Just far enough from everything to find peace, but close enough to Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain. We even made an easy trip into Ft. Payne Alabama from this location to visit Little River Canyon and the Alabama Fan Club and Museum. I would also say that anyone looking to get married should look no further. The venue was so beautiful that I almost wanted to get married to my husband there all over again! Thank you Jill, Margie and family for the use of your beautiful property! We hope to see you again real soon!

Farmhouse stay

Owners responded quickly, goat time was great and we loved their dogs. The house is an older farmhouse but stocked overall well. Suggestions: put a toaster in the kitchen as we brought bagels for the kids and there wasn’t a toaster. Also get some larger coffee mugs. We had to go buy a couple as there was only tea cups there.

Amazing host with an amazing property!

What a beautiful location. The house sits on a hill overlooking a vast farm with chickens, goats, horses, and work dogs. Our kids loved the animals and run across the field. The house is comfortable with a very large common area. The host was responsive and helped us greatly when our travel plans changed. Highly recommend.

Lovely Family Getaway

We did a short family trip here with 5 adults and 3 children, and had a great time! The house is spacious with plenty of room for all of us. The beds and couch were comfy. It's one of a few buildings, which include a lovely barn wedding venue, another guest house, and a small treehouse. There is a garden, goats, horses, and so much land!! Our pup really enjoyed the space to run. The views of Lookout Mountain are beautiful and it's close to hiking!

Beautiful family farm!

We absolutely loved our stay! I was looking for a place that we could slow down and connect and this was the perfect spot! I wish I could share all my pictures of the beautiful farm and views of Lookout Mountain. My boys loved exploring the open areas and became best friends with the dogs and goats. The farmhouse was so special with touches of its history all around! You’ll feel like you are stopping in to visit family. My husband and I spent a lot of our time on the screened porch overlooking the beautiful flowers and barn setting. This is a working farm so it was also a great way to teach my boys (10 and 12) what hard work and responsibility looks like with the owners and their family working (even in the rain) to complete their daily chores. Anytime we drive near the Chattanooga area we will plan a stay here!

Fabulous Farmhouse, Beautiful Property, Friendly and Helpful Owners

My family of 7 stayed at Mimi’s Farmhouse for a Spring Break trip. We had an incredible time. The hosts were incredibly gracious and hospitable. It is located just far enough outside of town to be quiet and relaxing, yet close enough to get to the city without spending most of your time driving. We loved feeding the goats, playing with the dogs, and petting the horses. David was so helpful with suggesting things to see and places to eat. We even got a special visit from Margie, who brought over a couple baby goats for the children (and adults) to hold. My kids wanted to stay indefinitely! It was a perfect fit for our family, who loves animals, being in the country, and having plenty of space. If we return to the Chattanooga area, we will definitely try to stay here again,

Peaceful farm stay

This has got to be one of the amazing properties we have stayed at. Mimi’s guesthouse was the most amazing and peaceful stay. From the quietness and relaxing location to the beauty of antiques and farmhouse decor. There was more than enough room for our family that was there for my sisters birthday. The whole home and visit was comfortable and relaxing in every aspect. I highly recommend this place to anyone. We definitely will be back to stay in the spring or summer when everything is in full bloom.

About the host

Hosted by Margie Gardner

Host profile image
This is family property with two families living on the 75-acre farm. We are a working farm with a small cattle breeding program, lots of goats, horses, and chickens. We are a Boutique Flower Farm recognized through the Georgia Agri-Tourism Department. We also host barn wedding events on many weekends. We are blessed with beautiful property and enjoy sharing a bit of our heaven with the community through certain events as well as offer several houses for lodgers occasionally.

Why they chose this property

This is family property purchased long ago by my parents. The farm has evolved over the years and our blood, sweat, and tears are wrapped up in this piece of land. It is a bit of an experience just to come to the farm and to enjoy watching the farm activities. The location is perfect as it is out in the country so it is safe and serene yet so close to Chattanooga (a straight shot north) as well as many great parks like Cloudland Canyon and Chickamauga Battlefield.

What makes this property unique

It is a safe piece of property (gated) and conveniently located to Chattanooga as well as the many Georgia activities like Cloudland Canyon State Park. If you are looking for a totally secluded place to stay, we are not for you. If you are attracted to the thought of a farm stay, the check us out. Whether it is watching the hay get cut in the front field, watching grandchildren riding their horses, seeing the flower gardens being planted/cut/weeded, or visiting the goats at the fences - the farm is a refuge from a busy life and a taste of life in a by-gone era.
