Staying at the Pioneer Room will take you back to days gone by! ITs a large one room unit and all the paneling is Tulip Poplar wood which we logged off our property and is the same type of tree the Pioneers would use for their first log home! The queen bed is made from recycled train tracks and old farm homes. There are pictures of covered wagons, Native Americans, parts of old tools and harness........great way to test your knowledge of times gone by. There is a futon which makes a full bed,so the Pioneer room easily will sleep up to 4 people, If you have more than 4 people please bring MATS and Sleeping bags. There is floor space for extra kids. Kitchen is fully equipped ( bring own food/paper towels) , air /heat or just open windows, smart tv and vcr with movies, private bathroom with tub jaccuzi and shower and private entrance with rockers to relax!

Must bring own sheets ( queen size and full size for futon) and bath towels.

Its not far from the barn area, so anytime you get the notion to visit with the horses, or walk the minis after taking class, play in the bunny room, gather farm fresh eggs, give belle the pig a tummy rub, its only a minute or 2 away.
Also, there is a spring fed pond for fishing /swimming, pavillion with tables /chairs, fire ring/grill and wood. Great way to relax and enjoy nature and each other. We spent 10 winters digging and building trails , so they are fun with ups and downs, switchbacks, hills...........see the outdoor chapel with view .short walks or longer hikes are all here for you to enjoy.

Enjoy the outdoors, nature and mountains without having to ever get in your car! Parents LOVE that the kids are super happy just too hang out here with the kittys and animals and doing nature stuff! No crowds/traffic, just peacefulness and outdoor fun.

There is plenty to do right here, some folks never leave the property and others just use as base camp since the Great Smoky Mountain National Park , Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, caverns, museums, food, are all from a couple of miles to only 25 miles away. So much to do and see in the area!

Also, on site we have other lodging options such as the Lukes cabin, Bed and Breakfast rooms, camping shelters and the Cowboy Hideout. If you have a larger group , you can rent both the Cowboy hideout and the Pioneer room and we open the adjoining doors!

We have paddocks with shelters for those who are traveling with their own private horses.

    It was clean. Amenities in kitchen were good. Bedding- pillows &blankets are a little rough around the edges and that couch/futon was deplorable. Bathroom was clean but faucet in tub really needs to be fixed as someone could scald themselves if not careful.

    Twin Valley Ranch was a fun stay in a rustic cabin. There are many animals to interact with and Janis and staff were all very friendly helpful and knowledgable. The cabin was nice with all the amenities it claimed. We enjoyed our stay.

    We picked the Ranch due to the unique combination of cabins, farm animals, and many acres of woods. Hiking on the property in Late April was a great treat. Additionally we hiked at the nearby SMNP near Cades Cove. Townsend was ~20 minutes away. Janice and the animals have a wonderful Ranch.

    We enjoyed our stay. Janice was an amazing host. We fed the farm animals, fished and hiked on the property. The cabin was quaint and cozy just like the pictures. Highly recommend. We will definitely go back. Thank you Janice for sharing your lovely property.

    We had a excellent time with Janice and all the animals. Beautiful serenity in the mountains. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to embrace the natural habitat of a quiet mountain property!

    I have seen some peoples reviews state it was not what they expected and i have to disagree. When u book to stay on a farm there are open range animals and its going to be where you come to get your hands dirty and help out to get the best experience. Janice taught us all about the mini horses on our first day and then we were able to take them on a hike by ourselves to the hill top chapel. It was beautiful! Janice made sure my daughter had the best time! The fact that our room was cozy warm, had a jet tub, a full kitchen, wifi, and all the apps on the smart tv was way more than i expected. We stayed out on farm though bc thats what we like. We went for a hike, my daughter loved the bunnies, chickens and kittens. She even found 2 chicken eggs that she got to cook and eat! We were still only 30 to 45 min from pigeon forge and gatlinburg but its so crowded we did not go but once! We loved the quiet farm and getting to pet and feed all the animals. Janice only wants u to have a great time! There are not so many rules as other places we have been and she lets you take the mini horses any where on the 100 acre property! Again if your wanting a high end type cabin with no dirt and all the amenities then book that! This was much better for us! ?
