The location was amazing! I think the listing wasn’t clear that one of the bedrooms was totally separated from the other and the bathroom. Having to go out into the hall and through 3 doors in the middle of the night was a bit challenging but still a great place to stay.

Enjoyed the location, very quiet and peaceful. May not recommend it to someone who doesn’t enjoy being in the country. The road into and out was pretty rough. Being a country girl wasn’t too rough for me.

If you're looking for a very quiet place within a few miles of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, this is it. Two bedrooms, a small kitchen, a large bathroom, with a shower & jacuzzi tub, strong wifi, etc. It's everything you want and the views from the master bedroom and porch are just stunning. A+++

The property is under advertised I was much nicer than I expected. A great place to stage if you want to stay out or the Gatlinburg chaos and like the Townsend And wears valley aera.

The location was near where we wanted to stay. Good proximity to Smokey Mountain National Park. Room was as advertised and appropriately priced. There was an issue with the temperature control with cold air blasting leaving us very cold- AC system could be evaluated to add a return air in the upstairs. Nice vistas.

We actually did not spend much time at your house - only to sleep and shower. We did, however, enjoy sitting on the balcony in the mornings viewing and listening to nature. One critique: the fitted sheet on the bed was too small and kept coming off on the corners throughout the night. Nice property! Thank you.

Incredible view, nice spot. The suite with 2 beds is a bit more like a nice bedroom suite, which also includes bedroom down the hall included. Not a true “Bed and Breakfast “, but a “Bed with Breakfast making equipment. There was coffee and creamer though. Deck outside bedroom is perfect for morning coffees and watching the wildlife . So glad we didn’t go to Gatlinburg area to stay. Right up our alley and our friends own horses and appreciation of rescues. Need to spend more time on property.Would go again.

We, a family of four, stayed at this property for spring break. We wanted to have a comfortable place to experience the mountain and country side without the crowd, and this is the perfect location. The property is meticulously maintained. Owners are accommodating and friendly. The best part is walking around on the beautiful ground, watching horses, chickens and the dog. We got horseback riding everyday. Even my youngest shy girl fell in love with her horse. Although the kitchen in the suite is not for cooking, there are surprisingly good food choices 5 minutes away. Big thank you to Nichole, Jeff, and April for their hard work to keep this place authentic and welcoming.

The property was beautiful, and having the horses onsite and mountains in the background was a treat. The room itself was just okay, definitely a B&B without the breakfast. The upper manor suite is only one king bed, the 2nd bedroom listed in the details is actually an entirely separate room, with just a bed that does not connect to the suite. The upstairs suite is shared with another bedroom for rent, so you won’t have the privacy of the upstairs to yourself. Wifi is very slow, and rugs could use a good cleaning. There were stains on the couch and comforter, but sheets were clean. Electric fireplace in room does not work. Patio has a great view, however there’s an active hornets nest! Host was very kind, but never in office each time we knocked (which was daily and between office hours)

What an amazing property! Thanks to the Country Manor Inn our vacation was wonderful. The house is beautiful, the property is beautiful, the horses are beautiful, the views are beautiful.
We took advantage of sitting by the farm pond, giving carrots to the horses, socializing with George the barn cat, and sitting on our balcony watching the sunset while enjoying a charcuterie board from Peaceful Side Social Brewery & Craft Kitchen. (A must go to)
I also booked a horse ride while my husband went fly fishing. It was so much fun and you see the property from a whole new vantage point. McKenzie was great and Nicole (who I booked through) was so helpful leading up to it. Do not miss the chance to do this!
Note: This is a two-bedroom but the second bedroom is not attached to the main rooms meaning you walk into a common area from the second room to get to the bathroom/kitchenette/balcony/main bedroom. We didn't need or use this second room but we also wanted this particular suite due to it having a balcony so it ultimately was worth it to pay for the random extra room.
We will definitely stay here again. It was so fun to feel at home in a place we'd never been and we can't wait to go back!

The building was amazing! Clean room with great views. Despite the proximity to all the tourism a person could ever ask for (and more), the property will make you feel as though you are in a remote location far from the calamity.
