Bunkhouse at foot of Mountains at MH logging camp

We are located in a small mountain farming community in East Tennessee. A place where men were raised to be a jack of all trades and their women folk could make any material useful with a sewing needle and make a savory supper out of what was growing or caught, fished, or hunted. Clearing lands for pasture and lumber was a necessity that became common place on the early American farm. It is understandable the draw people have to the Mountains, being seven and nine generation mountain peoples. Inviting folks to MH Farm is a personal matter. The value placed on this community, it’s peace and serenity, cannot be overemphasized. MH Farm is inviting you and your family to get a close up look at how Mountain peoples lived and worked. The Bunkhouse will allow you to go back in time and Explore a mountain creek. It will provide opportunities for you to experience gathering logs for your fire for cooking with cast iron and or warmth. The Bunkhouse has 3 bedrooms , 2 full baths. A fully equipped kitchen, fireplace, gas grill, fire pit at the home and another at the creek across the road. TV has a basic antenna that picks up local channels only and a DVD player. Front covered porch has porch swing, seasonal tree nuts for snacking, chess, checkers, and horse shoes for sport. Back porch has gas grill and picnic table.
The Bunkhouse has a wood shed for storing your logging, farming, entertainment needs: kayaks, bikes..etc. Bring your own lock. Making moonshine is, unfortunately, associated with this area. MH logging operations is a dry farm community. Many a mountain life has been destroyed by the devil’s drink. Drinking sweet tea and dopes/sodas and water are strongly suggested. Maps of the mountain areas are posted throughout the Bunkhouse with information of attractions, trails, and eatn’ places. A small library, board games, song books, historical and Biblical information abounds in the Bunkhouse for your enjoyment. The early American mountain farm found basic necessities all that was necessary for contentment and survival. You will need your own bedrolls/sleeping bags, wash rags, and towels. Anything you want to eat bring it, grow it, or kill it. You will be provided with dish rags, some soap, some paper towels, some tissue paper, some trash bags. If you find the need to get away from the stresses of Mountain Camp life White Oak Flats is 30 miles south, near Pigeon Forge and Sevierville. Rankin Bottoms wildlife viewing, kayaking, fishing, boating are 14 miles north. Trout streams at Cosby are 4 to 14 miles East. White water rafting is 14 miles southeast. GSMNP entrance at the visitor center at Sugarlands is 32 miles south where you will find all the information about mountain living and plan your exploration of back country homesteads and the kin and neighbors that settled there.

Great time of rest!
Enjoyed it over all! Had some pests but other than that the stay was great. Just getting away from it all but being able to go anywhere in 15 to 35 minutes was great! Would recommend if you are not into the condo and city slicker scenery!

We had a good time. It was jeeptober festival in Gatlinburg but didn’t wanna be in all the traffic. So we stayed here outside of everything. The drive into pigeon forge and Gatlinburg was beautiful!

Cozy mountain getaway
The listing was just as described, very comfortable and homey, a pleasant distance from all the busyness of Gatlinburg, but still close enough for an easy day trip. Our kids loved walking along the creek bed and using the fireplace/fire pit in the evenings. A great little home base for all our explorations during a fun vacation week. Terrie was also kind enough to bring her vehicle down when our van wouldn't start and needed a jump. Very grateful for the experience - thank you!

Great weekend getaway
Stayed here with one adult, three teenagers and our dog. We had a nice stay, property is as presented in listing. Clean and adequate space for our party. The porch swing was nice to sit and relax on after a long day out or walking the creek. Owners were easy to work with. We would stay here again!

Great place to get away
The place was super! Had everything you could ask for and me! The owner was great to work with. My only recommendation is to post a sign at the turn for Yellow Springs Rd as road sign was bent over. Also, since Internet service is very limited, maybe a hand drawn map of easy ways to get to Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Sevierville. We didn't have gps and got lost a couple times.

Great getaway!
My family and I loved our stay in the country! Not too far away from the hustle and bustle of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge but close enough for our needs. The younger ones enjoyed the creek and outdoors while us older folks just relished the peace and quiet. Very nice place to come back and relax after hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains! Many thanks to our hosts for providing such a tranquil stay in the country!

country peace
If you want to wake up to bunnies playing outside your window, horses and cows running down the mountain, the sound of the creek, playing in the creek, then this is your get away. The Bunkhouse was clean, the kitchen is well stocked. The decor is country and home like. The Bunkhouse is a testimony, a witness, and a ministry. We were 2 adult women, two girls and a baby. We felt very safe knowing the owners were above us on the mountain. I thought it was a long way out in the country, but it was short drive to town. You do have to drive down a narrow tree lined road, but it is worth the drive for the peace, quiet and wildlife. I would love to stay here again.

Great place to getaway from it all. We enjoyed relaxing at the property. We also white water rafted, hiked, and visited a cave. All activities were a reasonable distance away.
