Doce Chalé Boho na Fazenda Downing Hollow

New high speed fiber optic internet!
Downing Hollow Farm is a magical place full of sunshine and babbling creeks and mysterious forests. It’s a place you can watch the fireflies lift up from the pastures in June, hear the whippoorwill sing her lonesome song and enjoy the cool air drifting down through the hollow. Stay overnight in the cozy cottage and cook to your heart’s delight in a separate building called the Chuckwagon, a commercial kitchen, which also houses the bathroom, shower and a great front porch for relaxing and eating outside. There is no bathroom in the cabin, but the jaunt to the bathroom is short, with a sidewalk and well lit. Pets are are more than welcome, in fact, they are encouraged.
The cottage, originally a Mennonite tack room, is an Indian-inspired tiny house that's rustic on the outside, exotic on the inside. Decorated with tawny reds, burnished oranges and vibrant saffron, the cozy cottage has a queen bed, a working vintage typewriter, a record player with records, mini fridge, microwave and a giant picture window with a view of the forest.
Cottage guests have access to a fully equiped kitchen/community room called the Chuckwagon, with 60 inch range, prep tables, refrigerator, freezer, sun-room, bathroom/shower, coffee maker and a beautiful cypress front porch with rocking chairs and farmhouse table. Cottage guests use the bathroom and shower in the Chuckwagon. This is a separate building about 25 feet from the cottage, connected by sidewalk and very well lit at night. There is NO BATHROOM in the cottage. I also have an outdoor wood-fired oven, fire pit, and charcoal grill. Through the summer, you’ll encounter migratory and native birds, hummingbirds, butterflies, lizards, raccoons, groundhogs, foxes, deer and owls along the paths cut through the pastures of wildflowers.
It's as rural as it gets in Olivehill Tn. Our country road is paved well in spots, bumpy in some spots. Our driveway is a grassy lane leading way back into the hollow. Take it easy there for sure! There are two outside security cameras in use and monitored only by the property owner. There are outdoor security cameras at the entrance to the driveway, the barn and the greenhouse. They are actively monitored for vehicles coming and going.
