Our second time was as good as the first!

We were thrilled to return to the ranch for our second visit, and had an equally amazing time. This trip we stayed in Luke's cabin and loved it. Thank you Janice for another wonderful experience for our family. See you next time!

Freedom in the fresh air!!!

We planned a last minute stay at this property. My daughter had a gymnastics competition in a nearby city and we didn’t want to stay in a hotel. On a whim, we selected this property. We had no idea how perfect that selection would become. Janice is by far the most hospitable and accommodating host that we have ever had using VRBO. She has a way of welcoming her guests just like they were family. The cabin we stayed in (Luke’s Cabin) was perfect in ways we didn’t expect. It was so comfortable and we always had guests to open the door and say hi to. Ranger and Indigo came to greet us and Indigo stayed for snuggles and belly rubs. Jadyn was absolutely fantastic teaching my girls (18 and 9) about the Minis and how to care for them. In fact, feeding all of the animals and having the ability to interact with them made it a tearful goodbye for my youngest. There is so much love emanating from this property that you can’t help but feel at home. You can breathe that sigh of relief as soon as you open the gate, and you can forget about the world during your stay. It’s all peace and quiet with the exception of chatter from the animals. A perfectly wonderful experience that we hope to return to soon!!

Amazing Property!

My husband and I stayed for a weekend in Luke’s Cabin after attending an energy seminar in Knoxville the prior week. What a wonderful escape from the outside world! We wandered around petting animals and taking a hike around the property the first afternoon we arrived. We found some fast friends very quickly. The goats, pig and cats followed us around. They were all so cute! Unfortunately we didn’t have an opportunity to attend the feedings or ride horses as we had some long hikes in the park already planned. We did however hike up to the outdoor chapel first thing Sunday morning and it was spectacular! Janice could not have been a better host. From the first communication when inquiring about the property to every time we saw her while we were there, she was so friendly and welcoming to us. We will definitely recommend her property to friends and we will stay there anytime we come back to this area.

About the host

Hosted by Janice Tipton

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.
