The pond is the quiet heart of Cedar Pond Farms — two acres of still water at the middle of the property, a dock over it, and a healthy population of catch-and-release catfish that have made a lot of first-fish memories.
For the serious angler
Staying here for a Cherokee Lake or Douglas Lake tournament? The pond is honest practice water: test a rod, dial in a new reel, check how a bait swims, all without hooking the boat up. Cast at dawn before the drive to the ramp, or wind down at dusk when weigh-in is done and the adrenaline isn't.
For the family
This is where kids catch their first fish — close to the room, no boat required, catfish obliging. Bring your own tackle, keep everything barbless-friendly and gentle, and put every fish back to fight again; catch-and-release is the pond's one rule.
For nobody in particular
Some guests never wet a line. They take the dock chairs, the coffee, and an hour of water doing nothing at all — with Highland cattle grazing in the distance and swallows working the surface. That hour is the reason people book farms.
Make a full farm day of it
Pond in the morning, Premium Highland Cow Experience in the afternoon — two hours in the pasture brushing the fluffiest cows in East Tennessee — and fresh eggs to carry back to your kitchen. Read a guest's-eye view in Fishing the Catfish Pond on a Tennessee Farm Stay, then choose your stay.
