 Honeysuckle what a place!, June 5, 2009
By Tommy and Teresa (Maryville, TN)
We needed a weekend away from the wear and tear of everyday life, but where to go was the question. We couldn't go far with only a few days. We've been to Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge & that is ok but we wanted to be alone without the noise & busyness around us. So my husband got online & found the Honeysuckle. It was perfect, exactly what we were looking for quiet, romantic & peaceful yet close to the Cumberland County Playhouse where we could catch a show & Fall Creek Falls where we could hike. Our stay was perfect!! Do not miss the breakfast absolutely delicious. We didn't even eat lunch afterwards. If you go before they run out of strawberry jam be sure you try some it's great. We didn't get to try the pizza but we'll definitely get one when we go back. Ilaeka and Papa Phil are great, very welcoming & informative, I ask lots of gardening questions. You couldn't ask for a better place to stay. The sunrise is perfect.Don't miss fern forest it is a site tosee. We can't wait to get back.

Honeysuckle is a great place to rent whether you want to be lazy and relax or be active and hike the many trails in the area. We enjoyed both during our stay. The central location of the cottage makes for a short drive to Fall Creek Falls State Park through beautiful country and for quick jaunts to several State Natural Areas and trails. But if you do not want to drive anywhere during your stay, the farm is a great place to explore. You can hike the trails on the farm, fish or relax at the pond, or hang around the cottage playing horseshoes, reading, or taking a nap on the porch. We took advantage of all of it! The cottage really is equipped with everything you need and is beautifully appointed and very relaxing as many have commented. The hot tub is great for soaking sore muscles from a long day of hiking and a great spot to stare at the stars on a clear night. Do not pass on Phil and his full country breakfast. It is delicious and filling. Ilaeka and Phil are great people and make your stay as comfortable as possible. We really love this place and plan to visit it again.

09/13/09 My fiance and our 115 lb 9 yr-old German Sheppard and I arrived at Honeysuckle on a sunny afternoon and after a nice welcome by the proprietors, Papa Phil and his daughter Ilaeka, we were shown the cottage. To say that the pictures do not do this cottage justice is an understatement! I was overwhelmed (in a good way) with amazement and wonder as my eyes roamed over the interior, which looked professionally decorated. From the breathtaking antique stained glass door that separated the master bedroom and bathroom from the rest of the cottage, to the original oil paintings on the walls, to the reverse osmosis water filtration system in the kitchen, to the bookshelf lined with classics and more current best-selling novels, it was obvious that no small detail was left out. To top it all off, a goodie basket filled with additional treasures and welcome literature sat on the dining room table. After a nice soak in the hot tub and a restful sleep in the World’s Coziest Bed, we moseyed on down to the farmhouse for a real country cooked feast of a breakfast. And as we gorged on the heavenly provisions that would sustain us through our hike later that day, Papa Phil and Ilaeka were kind enough to chat with us, answering any questions we had and filling us in on the history of Grandview Mountain Cottages and the surrounding organic farm. I only wish I had two stomachs to contain the goodness that Papa Phil cooked up. Honestly, I would highly recommend that everyone take advantage of this special treat it is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. My only hesitation in writing such a positive review of our stay and Grandview Mountain Cottages is purely selfish that Honeysuckle will be booked up for years to come and we will not be able to stay there again. I am positive that our stay at Honeysuckle added an additional ten years onto our aged city dog. He has had a buoyant spring in his step ever since he got back that we have not seen since he was a puppy!

08/05/09 Our goal in coming to the Honeysuckle was total relaxation and peace and quiet and the Honeysuckle cottage WAY exceeded our expectations. We, along with our 14 year old daughter and her best friend had a spectacular time. Unlike most cabin vacation rentals, the Honeysuckle cottage offers total privacy and the only thing within view is the spectacular scenery. The owners, Ilaeka and Papa Phil are close enough to be in reach and offer wonderful tidbits of local informaton and they are so friendly and welcoming that as soon as we arrived we felt as if we were family visiting from out of town. Papa Phils breakfast is enough to feed an army and outbeats any restaurant offering. The first day was hot tub, relaxing on the day bed reading and watching the scenery and just enjoying the homey feel of the cottage. Day two was a hike around the farm trails and we saw some unusual mushroom formations and we all waded in the creek and wound up at the farm pond where we did more wading. Then to Piney Falls just moments away where the waterfall was putting on a spectaular show due to the large amounts of rain lately. Then it was more hot tub and cooking smores (ingredients provided by Ilaika and Papa Phil) over the fire pit. Day 3 we decided we had to get worms at Carrolls Country Store and he entertained us with some wonderful guitar picking. Then Ilaeka told us there were some blueberry bushes on the farm pasture if we would like to pick some so of course we did that on the way to the pond to fish!the fishing was great fun and we all caught either bass or brim. Then more hot tub and more relaxing. The kids thought the loft sleeping area itself was a great adventure and i just cant say enough about the entire expereince and the true uniqueness of the cottage and it's owners. WE LOVED IT!!!!!!!

The pictures do not come close to the reality of this place! The farm and cottages are beautiful. All you need, you find here. Relaxing views, meadows, trails, pond, great food, well appointed cottages. I could go on but not enough space. Perfect place for children. My grandchildern (age 6, and triplets, age 4) enjoyed their stay so much that they were not ready to leave! My son and his lovely bride were married in front of the Pinecone cottage. It was the wedding of their dreams! God's amazing mountain vistas and beautiful fall color in the trees. Words fail me. Ilaeka and Papa Phil (our wonderful hosts) went out of their way to make the wedding and our stay as perfect as possible. Again, many thanks to Ilaeka and Papa Phil for all their efforts to make our stay a unique and pleasant time, Rhonda McPherson and family

Deluxe Little House on the Prairie ;-) Many adjectives come to mind when I remember my stay at Honeysuckle: Romantic, exquisite, elegant yet homey, welcoming, relaxing, inviting and peaceful. A gorgeous sunrise sitting on the front deck one morning is a vivid memory that I keep with me for rainy days. Coming from urban highly stressful city, it took me less than 24 hours to be so relaxed I had trouble remembering what day it was. The house is so exquisitely furnished and has all the amenities you would ever want. The midnight hot tub experience is one of the highlights of my stay: an absolute delight! I definitely recommend Honeysuckle for a romantic week-end or recharge your batteries experience. Before I forget, do not miss the amazing catering service: Breakfast delivered to your door in the cutest little basket (the homemade biscuits are DELICIOUS). The pizza is also high up on my favorite list. Make sure you order one for the night you arrive, I am in no mood for shopping on the first evening of a getaway weekend!
01/02/09 What were the chances of finding a secret, perfect "place" to rest, be restored and cherish one's family? What do you do when you need to get away and you can't go far? You find Honeysuckle Cottage.... Hot tub! Fish Pond! Coziest bed! Loft for our kids! Pulley basket for the kids! All the "Farm and Fun" we've yet to explore for our stay was much too short! (A family from our county rented both cottages and wrote this in our Honeysuckle journal)

What a wonderful place to spend our anniversary. We had a great time. House was perfect, quiet, and just what we wanted. You have to get "Papa" Phil to cook one of his pizza's. You will not be disappointed. It was wonderful. The hot tub on the porch was great with beautiful views at night. The sky looks so huge across the large meadow in front. You can see for miles. The proprietors have thought of everything. With menus from local eateries, to binoculars for nature viewings, to local things to do and places to go. The bed was the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in. We did not want to get up. We were very pleased with this trip and house. We will be back again and bring more people to stay in both houses. Loved it!!!
12/28/08 No words... So many thoughts,so much love... Looking at the mountains sitting by a fire. Sitting in the hot tub surrounded by quiet clouds. Just a wonderful moment in our lives. (A family from Ohio left this note in our cottage guest book)
12/10/08 George and Theresa Tindell , Chattanooga, Tennessee. We found the cottage to be very warm and inviting in a very peaceful and scenic setting. The amenities were delightful and the decorations and furnishings exceptional. The tiled spa was a highlight of our stay, and was tremendously relaxing after a day of exploring the farm. We would recommend it to anyone seeking either a short getaway or extended visit!
We just listed this here and although we have many comments on other listings we are new to this site. However we are adding some from our other sites and some from our cottage journals for you to get an idea. Thanks for considering our cottage for your next getaway. We will do everything we can to make your stay perfect.
