Sweetwater Cottage | Gnome away from home

1 Bedroom Cottage in Sweetwater

Gnomaste y'all! Welcome to our little piece of paradise! Located perfectly between Knoxville and Chattanooga this little cottage gives you access to everything the area has to offer. There is so much hiking, boating, fishing, etc nearby it is impossible to list it all. Enjoy the rural setting with gorgeous sunrises/sunsets along with the amazing night sky! All are welcome we can't wait to meet you!
The guest cottage/tiny home are yours to enjoy. Please also feel free to wander around the property which is mostly fenced.
Please note we do live on site and run a small hobby farm. There are chickens, peafowl, honey bees, goats, and dogs on the property along with whatever other animals wander this way. We are not responsible for any accidents involving wandering the yard. This may include tripping, running into a thorn bush or poisonous plant, seeing a cute animal you fall in love with, having a dog run up to you to say hello, finding an egg the chickens have stowed away, being followed by Apollo the peacock, getting a little too close the hive and being stung, etc.
For anyone with a bee or bird fear please let me know ahead of time. I cannot control the bees but they are kept tucked far away from the cottage and beyond possibly seeing one on a flower they are not a bother to guests in any way. The peacock does have a tendency of not respecting personal space and sometimes mistaking shoes/toes for food. He's friendly but not exactly the brightest. If you are not comfortable with him following you around the yard or possibly pecking you out of curiosity give me a heads up and I will keep him tucked away in his pen.
The chickens are free range. If you have such a fear of birds that this bothers you then our cottage may not be the best fit for your stay.
We are open to as much or as little interaction as you prefer. We live on site but come and go frequently. You may see us hanging around or we might be out having an adventure (or just working). Regardless we are always available by phone or email.
Generally speaking we allow self check in and check out. If you would like us to greet you please let me know and I will do my best to make that possible.
Within an hour you can be in Knoxville, Chattanooga, Tellico Plains, Ocoee etc. Within 1.5 hours you can be in the Smoky mountain national park or nearby in Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg for any tourist activity you can imagine. Sweetwater itself is home to a beautiful downtown! We are minutes away from Watt's bar along with SO many outdoor activities! Just a lovely country setting to relax and recharge.
Inside the cottage we have local recommendations for food, drinks, drives, and attractions. A couple of them are listed below :)
Bigfoot outfitters - Benton, TN AMAZING rafting center with great guides <3
Cup Runneth Over - Sweetwater, TN great coffee, wonderful owners, and such a nice setting
Iron Works Grille - Tellico Plains TN is a great little place to sit by the river, have some food, grab a drink, etc
Friendly falls food and stuff - Wears Valley TN is another great little roadside stop. Gem mining, drinks, snacks, amazing owners, and beautiful views <3

Summary: Gnome Away from Home was a cozy tiny house. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing. The hostess was accommodating and had excellent recommendations for fishing and hiking spots. My pup especially enjoyed the farm.
