Star Hill Farm Barndo Retreat – Hillside Serenity with Hot Tub

Tucked away on 15 rolling acres in the heart of East Tennessee, Star Hill Farm offers an escape perfect for couples, families, or solo travelers seeking peace, fresh air, and a sky full of stars.

Our barndo sits on a hill with panoramic views of pastures and open skies. It’s the kind of place where you can sip coffee on the front porch while watching deer graze in the morning—or unwind by the Solo Stove at night under a blanket of stars.

Unwind at this serene barndominium getaway nestled on 15 acres of rolling hills and peaceful pastureland in Riceville, Tennessee, located between Chattanooga and Knoxville. Conveniently located 10 minutes from Athens and 20 minutes from Cleveland, Tennessee.

With modern comforts and stunning natural surroundings, this retreat is perfect for couples, families, or small groups looking to relax, recharge, and reconnect with nature.

This stylish barndominium offers a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern convenience. With 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, there’s plenty of space for up to 10 guests to spread out and feel at home.

Features include:
• - Master bedroom with king bed; upstairs loft with 2 full/double sized bunk beds
• - 2 full bathrooms
• - Hot tub under the stars
• - Fully equipped kitchen
• - Grill for outdoor cooking
• - Washer and dryer
• - High-speed WiFi
• - Smart TVs
• - Solo Stove
• - Covered porch with rocking chairs and expansive views

Step outside to take in the peaceful scenery, explore the open fields, or soak in the hot tub as the sun sets behind the hills. Whether you're here for a romantic escape or a weekend with your family, the space is designed for comfort and tranquility.

Guests have private access to the entire barndominium and all 15 acres of surrounding property. Plenty of parking is available onsite.

While the property feels secluded and peaceful, it’s just a short drive to Athens, Cleveland, Silver Springs Vineyards, and outdoor adventures in the Cherokee National Forest. Enjoy the best of both worlds—quiet country living with local attractions nearby.

Our family had the most amazing and relaxing getaway at Star Hill Farm! From the moment we drove up the hill, we knew we were in for a treat. The barndominium is absolutely beautiful, blending a cool, rustic style with all the modern comforts you could possibly need. The panoramic views of the rolling hills from the covered porch are simply breathtaking. We spent every morning in the rocking chairs with our coffee, watching deer in the pasture, and every evening making s'mores around the Solo Stove under a brilliant canopy of stars.The inside of the barndo is just as impressive as the outside. It was sparkling clean, spacious, and perfectly laid out for our family. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The absolute highlight for everyone was the hot tub. Soaking under the stars after a day of exploring was an unforgettable experience that we'll be talking about for a long time.We loved how the property felt so private and secluded, yet it was just a short and easy drive to Athens for groceries and a visit to Mayfield Dairy for some delicious ice cream. The location is a perfect home base for exploring the incredible nature of East Tennessee.This property is a true gem, offering the perfect escape to unwind, recharge, and reconnect. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and are already planning our next trip back. Highly, highly recommend!
