Tucked away on seven peaceful acres in the Tennessee countryside, Collins River Farmhouse is a thoughtfully restored country home created for slowing down, reconnecting, and enjoying a little more space between you and the rest of the world.
The farmhouse combines warm Southern character with a clean, Scandinavian-inspired aesthetic—natural wood floors, comfortable furnishings, a beautiful light-filled kitchen, inviting bedrooms, and carefully considered details throughout. With three bedrooms, 2½ baths, and room for up to eight guests, there’s plenty of space to gather while still having room to retreat.
Mornings here are meant to start slowly. Pour a cup of coffee and settle into a rocking chair on the front porch as the property wakes up around you. Spend the day exploring the Collins River, nearby waterfalls and scenic drives, or make the short trip into historic downtown McMinnville for restaurants, shops, and local character.
Back at the farmhouse, prepare dinner together in the kitchen, fire up the grill, stretch out in the living room, or head outside as the sun begins to disappear behind the Tennessee hills. End the evening around the fire pit under the stars, with nowhere else you need to be.
Despite its peaceful setting, the farmhouse is only about five minutes from historic downtown McMinnville, giving you the rare combination of a private country escape and convenient access to town.
Whether you're here for a family getaway, a weekend with friends, a special occasion, or simply a few quiet days away, Collins River Farmhouse was designed to feel less like a rental and more like a place you discovered.
Come settle in, stay awhile, and slow down.

About the host
Your host
I’m someone who appreciates good design, the outdoors, and the simple things that make time away feel special. I’ve put a lot of thought and care into Collins River Farmhouse, from the renovation and furnishings to the little details guests experience during their stay.
As a host, I want you to have your privacy and truly feel at home, but I’m also available if you need anything. Most of all, I hope you enjoy this place as much as I do, slow down for a few days, and leave already thinking about when you might come back.
Why they chose this property
I chose this location because it offers the combination I was looking for: peace, natural beauty, and a sense of escape without feeling isolated.
The property is surrounded by the Tennessee countryside, with the Collins River nearby and plenty of room to slow down and enjoy being outdoors. Yet historic downtown McMinnville is only about five minutes away, with restaurants, shops, and local character close at hand.
I also love how much there is to explore in the surrounding area—from waterfalls, rivers and scenic drives to some of Middle Tennessee’s most beautiful state parks and small towns.
It feels tucked away, but connected—and that’s exactly what I wanted Collins River Farmhouse to be.
What makes this property unique
What makes Collins River Farmhouse unique is the balance of privacy, nature, thoughtful design, and convenience. You can wake up surrounded by seven peaceful acres, enjoy coffee on the porch, spend time along the Collins River, and end the day around the fire pit under the stars—yet historic downtown McMinnville is only minutes away.
Inside, the farmhouse has been completely renovated with a warm, Scandinavian-inspired simplicity that feels comfortable and elevated without being fussy.
More than anything, it’s the feeling of the property that makes it special. There’s space to breathe, room to gather, and a slower pace that’s increasingly hard to find.
It’s not just a place to stay—it’s a place to slow down.
