Cute little cabin out in the middle of nowhere...which just perfect when you're trying to get away. The cabin was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Love the large walk-in shower We we're a little surprised that there wasn't a TV but we figured who needs a TV when you're trying to get away. The kitchen was small but had everything we needed. Loved watching the dogs herd the sheep Sunday morning. That was a real treat.

The listing clearly states that there is no TV. That is very intentionally done because we like to share our peaceful place with people the way we live it (also with no TV). We have great WiFi, if people want to check back in with more modern life. But the experience at our place is about getting back in touch with nature and a more simple life. We offer what most places can't/don't/won't.

About the host

Hosted by Emily Varela

Host profile image
We are David and Emily Varela, parents of 8 children from 27-16 years old. David was raised in Chihuahua, Mexico and Emily was born in Wisconsin, USA and lived in several states as a child until her parents settled in nearby Cookeville. After moving west for several years where she met David, we moved back to Tennessee and began raising our children. We chose Jackson County because of its more remote and simple lifestyle opportunities.

We live on a small farm where we raise most of our own food organically. We also own and operate Amigos Construction and build mostly residential homes. Business often takes us to Mexico, Israel, and Turkey where we enjoy interacting with the people of those and other cultures that we come in contact with along the way. We love meeting great people from all over the world.

Why they chose this property

We finished building the cabin at the end of our driveway in January, 2017 for Emily's elderly parents, making it handicapped accessible because of their needs. We also included the wrap-around porch, porch gardens, and simple but familiar furnishings that would bring peace, joy, and comfort to them in their final years. Mom never made it to the cabin, and Dad stayed for the last time in September 2018. Now we're opening up their special place for travelers to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is simply furnished, encouraging a spirit of rest and relaxation. Views from the porch are serene, and the focus of their beauty changes from season to season. Wildlife, including deer and turkeys, can sometimes be seen foraging in one of the nearby pastures. And at times our livestock graze near enough to be hand fed through the fence.

During the warmer seasons, the chickens lay eggs in their house in the yard, fruit can be picked from the small backyard orchard, and vegetables from the container gardens on the porch.

When our family is available, we also offer optional services of preparing fresh, wholesome meals and teaching about our ways of life, including how to milk a cow, make butter, cheese, bread, and necessary life skills that have been practiced since the beginning of time.
