Staying at Milkbarn Farm Stay
Milkbarn Farm Stay is one of the farm’s own buildings, converted for guests and set right in the middle of everything.
You are staying on a working farm just outside Knoxville, Tennessee — which is the part guests tell us they did not expect to love as much as they do. Mornings are for collecting eggs and cutting flowers in season; there is self-serve gelato from our own Gelato Brothers; and the Scottish Highland herd is a short walk away.
Hosted by the farm itself
The Milkbarn sits in the middle of everything, and the farm dresses it like it means it — flowers from our own gardens on the table, robes for the slow mornings, and Gelato Brothers cups in the freezer for the end of a farm day.
Book direct and you are the farm's own guest. The people who feed the Highland herd every morning are the same people who send your door code and dress your rooms before you arrive. An early check-in, a cow experience added to your stay, a question at nine at night — ask the farm, and a human who knows the property answers. One confirmation, one host, and a phone number that reaches the barn.
Can I see the cows from Milkbarn Farm Stay?
Yes — from outside the fences. You are welcome to walk out to the pasture fence and see whether the herd comes over, and guests can buy a bucket of feed to carry to the fields.
⚠️ Please never touch the fence. Our pasture fences are electrified and can shock you or anyone with you. Enjoy the cows from your side of the wire, and keep children and pets away from it.
To actually get in with the herd — petting, brushing, photographs — book a guided Standard or Premium Cow Experience. It is its own booking, not an add-on to your stay, and there is no upgrade fee to attach one to a reservation you already have. Full details are on the Experiences page, and the FAQ answers this in full.
A base camp for horse trials, tournament fishing & game days
Milkbarn Farm Stay sits in the middle of East Tennessee's sporting calendar. River Glen Equestrian Park — USEA horse trials from spring through fall — is about ten miles up the road in New Market, and the farm has real, level room for a truck and horse trailer. Anglers are minutes from the Cherokee Lake ramps and an easy drive to Douglas Lake at Dandridge, with boat parking beside the units, outdoor outlets for overnight trickle charging, and the farm's own two-acre catch-and-release catfish pond for testing a cast or unwinding after weigh-in. Carson-Newman University is minutes away for family weekends, recruiting visits and graduation; Tennessee game days in Knoxville are an easy drive with no-hassle free parking waiting back at the farm; and Sevierville's attractions are close enough for day trips that end in pasture quiet. Between it all: fresh eggs, the Highland herd at the fence, and the Premium Highland Cow Experience to book while you're here.
