“Heaven on the Hiwassee”

Not only is the location and all that surrounds it, absolutely stunning, but the rooms and entire property are just about perfect. I’m a germaphobe and usually struggle staying in hotels and even Airbnb’s, but my room and bathroom were super clean and I didn’t even feel grossed out to walk barefoot. There is so much to do on the property from hiking, to feeding the animals, to kayaking and playing pickleball. Moreover, David and Kathi who own this property, are two of the sweetest and giving people you’ll ever meet. They truly care about this place and make you feel like family. I can’t imagine anyone being disappointed with their stay here.

Kathi, David, Tracy, Watson & Josie were amazing and so welcoming! We felt like we met old friends. We had a wonderful, relaxing weekend. David & Kathi have created a beautiful haven and we are so thankful to them for sharing it. We will definitely be back when it is warmer.

Guest Review

Best experience my family has had staying a couple nights aways from home…the owners went above and beyond, the environment was beautiful and warm, budget-friendly, and the things included in the stay (like kayaking, trails, and the barn) had us not wanting to venture off the acreage to the nearby cities!

We added on a horse riding lesson and that was fantastic as well. Highly recommend!

Guest Review

One of my favorite places in TN! If you are looking for a blend peace and quiet with community activities, this is the place to be. It a great for all levels of comfort with the outdoors. We decided to work from the room we had there while explore the wildlife the other hours. The owners are the heart and soul of the place. Everything is SUPER Clean! Highly recommend!

The River

Hiwassee Acres borders over a mile of the historic Hiwassee River. The river originates from a spring in north Georgia and flows north up to North Carolina before it turns west towards Tennessee. It flows a total of 147 miles before spilling into the Tennessee River. We have a perfect spot for you to access the river for kayaking, paddleboarding or swimming. We have Adirondack chairs and hanging chairs beside the river for those that want to enjoy the river’s beauty from the shoreline.
