We do not allow pets because we have farm animals and can not risk it plus we have allergy issues in the family. If an animal is found there will be a $500 additional cleaning fee access and you will have to remove said animal and forfeit your deposit.

This is a working farm with cattle, ponies, chickens, cattle dogs, barn cats, honey bees, plus wild animals including turkeys, deer, and black bears. Bugs are inevitable but we provide bug spray.
If you are a hunter with a TN license you may hunt during the appropriate seasons if you respect our farm animals and do not shoot near them. If you harm one you will be financially responsible for compensation, amount will be determined by the animal injured (age, value, etc).
You will be required to sign a lease.
You will have no maintenance responsibilities other than caring for the property like it's a home you love and cleaning up after yourself.
Property owners, property manager, and the Amish caretakers will be on the farm working from time to time as this is a small working farm. We will be there to pick berries, check the garden, do yard work, general maintenance, care for the animals as well as do things like change filters on the well.
Our cleaner will need to come in once a month to do a regular cleaning. This time doesn't have to be exact just whatever time (during daylight hours) is convenient for you both.
There is a basement room that is locked to you, we may need to access it from time to time for tools, supplies, or if there is a plumbing or electrical issue. There is a separate entrance we will not enter your space and will let you know anytime we will need to access.
We do not require renters insurance but we do highly recommend it.
