About this property

Secluded Area on Upper Kings River @ Chimney Mill Cabin. . . Quiet & Peaceful

Chimney Mill Cabin is located in a secluded and remote area at the upper head of Kings River, high in the beautiful mountains of Madison County. Our cabin is surrounded by a peaceful, quiet setting, that introduces you to the sound of the river and abundance of nature. Sitting on the wrap-around porch, enjoying the quiet tranquility in the natural wilderness area--relatively untouched by man--brings a feeling of peace and contentment and makes one not want to leave.

Chimney Mill Cabin is named for the old grist mill that once stood at Kings River Falls. The cabin will accommodate 8 overnight guests in 2 king beds, 1 queen bed, 1 futon bed, and 2 and 1/2 baths. It features a fully equipped kitchen, large farm table in dining area seats 10, second table seats 4, kitchen island seats 4, electric fireplace, Dish Satellite Service, and wrap-around porch (the south side is screened in). Wrap-around porch has several chairs and tables that allows one to sit and enjoy the wildlife and listen to the river. The cabin is only a few feet from Kings River close to the Buffalo National River Area and many well-known hiking trails. This is the perfect place for hikers to enjoy the popular hiking trails in this area.

Time has changed many things, but not the beauty of the Kings River area. The river still tumbles clear and pure over the rocks. Several smaller waterfalls lead the way to the largest fall known as "Kings River Falls." The old grist mill, known as Chimney Mill, once stood where Kings River Falls is located. Here the water cascades over the rocks into a pool of clear blue-green water. This is an ideal location for those who love to hike and see the "beauty of the wilderness." Kings River Falls area is a hiker's paradise.

Absolutely stunning

We absolutely loved our stay and will be back. The screened in porch was the perfect spot to cozy up with a blanket and read a book. We brought corn hole tables and played on the side porch with ease. The kids loved playing in the stream and making s'mores in the camp fire. We were prepared for no cell service at the cabin, enjoyed it, but be prepared for no cell service on the way out to the cabin as well. The beds were comfortable, the cabin was clean and spacious, you're able to use the washer and dryer and they have a charcoal grill available to use as well. There's nothing bad to say about this place, we were sad to leave.

Peaceful cabin

Chimney Mill Cabin is the prefect place to get away from it all. There are hiking trails located nearby if you want some adventure, but if staying in and resting and relaxing is more your style, this cabin is perfect for you. This is our second time staying here and the owners go above and beyond to make sure everything is clean and well stocked. Thanks for a great few days!

Peaceful place

This is a beautiful place to stay and enjoy the peace of nature while you’re there. The house is very comfortable and the porches are the perfect place to sit and enjoy the surroundings. Great home base for getting out and exploring many hiking options that are in the area. Highly recommend if you want to get away from all the daily distractions and enjoy some peaceful time with friends or family.

Relaxing and fun

Beautiful views in every direction. Great hiking and swimming. No cell coverage or internet (a huge plus!). Daily sightings of musk rats, rabbits and deer. Choruses of birds and tapestries of clouds. The cabin is relaxing and roomy even for my family of 8. The dining room table is just the best.

Peaceful and Secluded Getaway without Sacrificing Comfort

This place is my favorite to unwind and relax from the stresses of life. You can just feel the stress leave as you sit on the porch with a cup of coffee and listen to the sounds of the water. The wildlife love to put on a show as well!

Disconnect to connect

This property is one of my favorites because we got married here but also because there isn’t any cell signal or WiFi here. Being disconnected from technology helps to focus on being present and connecting with the people you’re with! I also love how close it is to hiking and water. This was our third trip and we will definitely be back!

Cabin in the woods

We had a wonderful time enjoying the cabin. Note that the upstairs 3rd bedroom is a loft without a door and the bottom two bedrooms have a Jack/Jill bathroom. The house had everything supplied we could possibly need and kids loved the creek right outside. Cabin was close to all the UTV trails we wanted to do and we will be back once the weather warms up.

Peaceful getaway

We had a wonderful 3rd stay at this beautiful property. Hiking down the river with the cooler weather was very enjoyable. And spotting the local animal life from the beautiful porch with no interruptions from work/email was just what we needed. Already planning for our next adventure here. Everything was perfect, the cabin gorgeous with everything we needed and the property very well kept. Thank you for checking on us and being available if we should need anything, but especially sharing your amazing cabin with us.

About the host

Hosted by Jerry and Joan Johnson

Host profile image
We both grew up in this area. Both families' ancestors came to this area in the late 1800 and early 1900s. We retired from our job about 2 years ago. My husband retired from trucking and I from teaching. We finished building our cabin in October 2014. We wanted something to help supplement our retirement years and allow others to enjoy the beauty and quietness of the area.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I inherited this land from my step-mother and dad after their deaths. My step-mother lived on this place for 62 years--10 years as a widower. She and my dad lived here together for 22 years. This piece of land has a lot of historical ties to this part of the area. This area has long been visited by many who loved to hike and see the natural beauty of the wilderness area--relatively untouched by man.

What makes this property unique

Chimney Mill Cabin is located by the historical, old homestead known as the Squire Burton Williams Homeplace. Looking out from the wrap-around porch, you can see the old house and cemetery, which is the resting place for many who helped settle this rugged area of Madison County.

We have added several items to the cabin that makes it a unique and special place--the old Kings River Falls sign that used to be at the old parking lot (a head board for the bed upstairs), old gate from the garden spot (headboard in the green room), old barn wood (used for kitchen cabinets and island) from the old barn that once stood where the cabin is today, the old kitchen sink and white cabinet was my grandmother's and the fireplace mantle was a hewed log from the old barn. The porch swing also has special meaning--retirement gift from my coworkers, when I retired from teaching. As you can see, this cabin has a lot of unique features that makes it a special place for our family.
