A few kind words from recent guests:
"You won't find a better host or destination anywhere. I travel in search of places & experiences like this one. They are few & far between. My only advice would be to stay longer than planned as you will not want to leave. Expectations were exceeded. Much thanks to the hosts that share such special places like this one."

"I grew up in Columbia and every time we come back for a visit we stay here!! It’s became a second home. A second home that we love so much! Sitting on the large front porch and seeing family and friends is perfection. The farm is a perfect place for the kids to run and be free! The cabin has everything you could need. The king size bed is SO comfortable!!! We couldn’t love these place more! And Holly and Chris are both so kind. Would highly recommend staying here!!"
- Becky Benton TN
"We have stayed in many Airbnbs over the years, and I’m not fooling when I say this was our absolute favorite. It is, quite simply, and literally, a breath of fresh air. The farm is stunning and the accommodations are comfortable, beautifully decorated, clean, and well cared for. The individual fire pits are with overhead lights are so fun and accessible. Out of our entire week-long trip in Tennessee, my daughter’s favorite part was feeding Dixie, the horse. This is a place for the soul to be rejuvenated and healed and you don’t want to miss out on it! Stay here if you possibly can. You definitely won’t regret it! Not to mention all the interesting things to see and do in the area!"

⭐️ History of the Muletown Farm
This farm has quite a story behind it. The land was originally part of a larger parcel granted by George Washington to Colonel Grant for his leadership during the Revolutionary War.
Over time, the property made its way to the Armstrong family, who came here from South Carolina and worked the land for many years. Local history also says that Davy Crockett spent many nights here on the farm while traveling through the area, which is one of our favorite stories connected to this place.
It's pretty amazing to think about the people who have gathered on this farm over the years. There’s something about this place that sparks creativity. The quiet and history of the farm inspired my husband to write a book while we were in the process of restoring it.
Eventually the farm was owned by Dr. George, a beloved livestock veterinarian in Maury County. For decades, Dixie’s Cottage actually served as his veterinary clinic. After he passed away, the farm sadly fell into disrepair for a time, until we began slowly bringing it back to life.
When we found it, we could see the history and the potential right away. Since then, we’ve been slowly bringing the farm back to life and turning it into the kind of peaceful hobby farm and gathering place we knew it could be.
Our hope is that when people come here they can slow down, breathe a little deeper, enjoy the land, and leave feeling a little more refreshed than when they arrived. And if you stay with us, you’re really becoming part of the next chapter in the farm’s story.
Guest access
🔸Guests have exclusive access to the Manor House and porch. The basement is normally kept locked as it stores owner supplies, but it does contain the washer and dryer. If you’d like to use the laundry during your stay, we’re happy to unlock it for you with advance notice before arrival. The basement stairs are fairly steep, which is why we keep the area locked unless needed.
🔸The Manor shares a fenced yard and fire pit area with Crockett's Cabin but the property is spacious and still offers plenty of room to relax and enjoy the peaceful farm setting.
Other things to note
🔸Some of the animals you'll see on the farm our horse, Dixie and several chickens, ducks, deer and wild turkey in season.
