available for rent at Slate Knob Farm

          The DeVault cabin was relocated to Slate Knob Farm from Luttrell, TN,
            and this pioneer log cabin had a history of being attacked by Indians!

The Cabins       

         
     The 16 log cabins available for rent range in size from 1 bedroom to 5 bedrooms, and they are located in a variety of settings with many cabins bordering open meadows and others completely enclosed in forest. The cabins provide comfort and solitude and all at an affordable price.

     Please phone (865) 719-4596 or (865) 577-2316 for additional information and availability.

The Giles House was relocated from Loudon County, TN in 1964.
The cabin sits in a meadow near the entrance at Roddy Branch Road.
Some of the cabin locations have nearby garden plots. The Prater cabin
came from a farm on Yatesville Lake in Kentucky.
The Howard House was a school at Meathouse Hollow on Pigeonroost Creek in Kentucky.
The cabin has 5 rooms including two upstairs bedrooms. The stones for
the chimney came from a wall at Shakertown, Kentucky
This cabin is named the Kitchenhouse since it was originally a kitchen for the Farrar House
in Grainger County, Tennessee. The cabin has a sleeping loft that is accessed by ladder.
This cabin was built in 1841 at the request of James Taylor of Scott County, Virginia. The Taylor family
paid a bonus to get under roof by Christmas - the bonus was a $5 gold piece!
The Taylor cabin was moved to Slate Knob Farm in 1992.
Most cabins have a front porch, fireplace, and washer/dryer connections.
The Farrar house has the equivalent of 5 bedrooms with two fireplaces, a wood stove, and a room
over the kitchen. The cabins can accommodate families including children of all ages.
This cantilever barn, painted yellow and Witt gray, has 5 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a stainless steel kitchen.
The Wolfenbarger cabin comes from Luttrell, TN and is made of massive yellow poplar logs - so large
that only 4 are needed to make a wall. The Wolfenbargers were German immigrants
who figured largely in the history of Union County.
This resident provides both character and color to their rustic cabin.
Quiet, all-weather roads provide access to all of the cabins.
The Prater House, located in a wooded setting, has been used for weddings.
