Farm Stay in Watts Bar Lake, TN
Reasons to book
About this farm stay rental
Step onto the porch. Take a breath. Feel a century of front-porch pickin' settle into your bones.
There are places you stay, and there are places you belong to for a weekend—even if just for a little while. Williams Ferry Farmhouse is the latter. Nestled on two sprawling acres amid the rolling green hills of East Tennessee, this authentic hundred-year-old farmhouse isn't staged to look like it's straight out of Southern Living, it simply always has been. The wide front porch has watched a century of sunsets, cradled the sound of guitars and banjos on lazy evenings, and echoed with generations of children's laughter. Now it's ready to make room for yours.
More Than a Roof Over Your Head ... It's a Slower Kind of Vacation
This is the kind of place where mornings start with coffee on the porch, watching mist roll off the spring-fed pond. Where afternoons might mean catching a UT game, tossing a football in the wide-open yard, or simply doing absolutely nothing at all... and loving it. Walk across the street for a carton of farm-fresh eggs still warm from the coop. Watch the kids run barefoot through the grass the way kids have on this land for a hundred years. This isn't a cookie-cutter rental. It's a genuine slice of Tennessee life, and it comes with a story already written into the floorboards.
Room for the Whole Crew
With 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, the farmhouse comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests, and with the detached cottage available (subject to availability via separate booking), you can extend that to 12, making it perfect for multi-generational family reunions, girls' weekends, couples' getaways, or a group of friends chasing adventure together. Bring the boat, the motorcycles, the side-by-side... there's plenty of room to park it all.
