We absolutely loved our stay. The owner is so nice and gives you full run of the property. It was so beautiful. Our cabin was to itself and was beautiful inside and out. I couldn't of been more impressed with the property or its owner. Hope to go back in near future. Exactly as described but better.

The ranch

It was great! Janice was very welcoming and kind. We helped her feed some of the ranch animals and she was very understanding, helpful and patient with us because we didn’t know what we were doing. But overall a great place for a stay, beautiful property and a great host! Would definitely recommend.

Amazing!

I adored this property, it is the most perfect getaway from everyday life! My kids loved the ability to help with chores and Jadyn (whom I absolutely adored) was so helpful with the kids and I loved just the overall family vibe of the entire place. Next time, we plan to stay longer. Can’t wait to book this property again! Also the bunnies were my favorite part. Thank you, Jan for sharing your ranch with everyone ❤️

Wonderful nature cabin/farmette!

Communication and checkin process was easy. Janice is a very kind enjoyable person if you get a chance to follow her around visiting the animals. Set in a very natural and beautiful setting. I enjoyed the real fire pit in the woods yet few feet outside cabin door with all the darkness for the stars the most and second visiting the kittens and all the animals at our leisure. It was also a beautiful and easy drive to Smoky mtn national park entrances. Enjoy your stay!

About the host

Hosted by Janice Tipton

Host profile image
Hello, my name is Janice and I love realizing the dream my late husband and I have created. Being able to meet amazing folks from all over the world and sharing my ranch, horses/critters, mountain riding tips and the joys of mountain living is very rewarding to me. It is so wonderful to be able to say that people come as guests and literally leave as friends! They give as much joy to me as what I try to create for them. When we bought the ranch in 1983, no one had lived here or worked the land for over 40 yrs. Just overgrown land is what we started with. Slowly but surely we cleared, logged, dug trails, built paddocks, barns, cabin and enjoyed the joys of mountains riding! And now myself and the Twin Valley Family wish to show you all the BEST time possible. I have worked several ranches in Co and also have a AAS in Horse Husbandry so I enjoy teaching and sharing my love of horses and the mountains to all.

Why they chose this property

We chose to build Lukes Cabin in 1993 on our mountain property because we wanted to be able to accommodate honeymooners or small families who wanted to stay in the mountains without having to worry about people or cars right next door. The location is very private and beautiful but is within an easy walk to the barn/petting animals, horses or pond. The ranch is in Walland which is a short distance from Townsend, giving our guests easy access to the entrance of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. In the park you can visit Cades Cove, hike, bike, picnic, tubing and enjoy the old homestead historical buildings. Townsend is what we all like to call the 'peaceful side of the Smokys'! Visit the caverns, shops, restaurants, antique shops.......all within a 30 minute drive. Of course, a beautiful mountain drive will get you to Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg in about 45 min. The Smoky Mountains have a lot to offer with such a variety of trees, animals and beauty.

What makes this property unique

You will enjoy being able to walk right out your door and have plenty to do without even getting in your car! Parents love not having to pack up all the children and gear just to go 'do' something. Kittens will greet you and are always ready to entertain the youngsters for hours. Without leaving the ranch, you can hike, ride horses in our horsemanship clinic, fish/swim, relax in the rockers and be spiritually renewed in the great outdoors! If you feel like playing tourist, there are so many options to choose from, and only 2-25 miles from the ranch. Visit the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Cades Cove, Heritage museum, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Knoxville, Townsend, Tubing, shopping, antiques, shows, caverns, biking........the list of things to do is endless! I will be glad to sit down with you and help you plan your activities....draw maps and give you brochures.
