The Ewe's Nest - Farm Stay Near Hiking, Waterfalls, Kayaking & Caves

Looking for a real farm experience with small town convenience nearby? This cozy 900 sqft cottage sits in the heart of a working farm just outside McMinnville, Tennessee, offering the charm, energy of country life. Expect the sounds of roosters, tractors and other animals.

While you're surrounded by farmland, you’re only 10 minutes from downtown McMinnville’s shops, restaurants, and essentials, making it easy to enjoy a mix of urban and rural life.

Outdoor lovers will be spoiled for choice. The area is home to some of Tennessee’s best hiking, waterfalls, and scenic spots:

Rock Island State Park (20 mins): swimming, hiking, and cascading falls
Cumberland Caverns (15 mins): underground cave tours and concerts
Fall Creek Falls State Park (1 hr): home to one of the tallest waterfalls in the Southeast
Savage Gulf, Greeter Falls, Virgin Falls, and Foster Falls (all within 1–1.5 hrs): stunning trails, bluffs, and swimming holes.
Kayaks and gear available, we are next a launch point for Collins River.

Don't forget a hop, skip and a jump from Manchester that hosts Bonnaroo annually!

Back at the farm, you’re welcome to observe (or join in, in some cases) daily activities like feeding animals or collecting eggs. Depending on the season, there may be fresh produce or other farm goods available. Life here moves to the beat of the barn, not always tidy, but always genuine.

Whether you're here to hike, write, explore, or just try something different, this cottage offers a refreshing dose of rural life without leaving you isolated.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cabin, which has a kitchen. A Smart television is provided for your entertainment.
Take in the views from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

I have stayed at this location multiple times. It is a really small house on a wonderful, peaceful farm, always clean and comfortable. I love the chickens who wander around, the sheep that I can hear from the pasture and the floppy eared dog that greets me. Kelly, the host, always leaves me a treat in the fridge of fresh eggs or vegetables from the garden or homemade baked goods. She is very attentive and accommodating. Great place to stay for peace and quiet and it's full of life!

Close to many state park waterfall hikes and swimming access! Close to the wedding venue The Monroe on 415th. Literally public access fishing/wading area in crystal clear water less than a 1/4 of a mile from the yard. The host is so responsive! The tiny house is actually not tiny at all. Very good size bathroom and bedroom. The farm is functional and you can get eggs, meats and vegetables if you let them know in advance. They have kayaks and offer services at a cost for guest (so sad we didn’t have time). I got to have my dog on site with out crazy high fees. If I could give this family 100 stars I would. It was safe and calm.
