When the seasons change, the state of Tennessee really knows how to show out. From the gorgeous shifting colors of leaves to the frosted beauty that comes with the wintertime, the Volunteer State is known to exhibit some of the most beautiful natural landscapes in the United States. If you're looking to mire yourself in the wilds of the state this season, then you may just want to plan a trip to the Mulberry Lavender Farm and B&B located in the aptly named small town of Mulberry, Tennessee. Learn more about it below, and fall in love with one of the most brilliant and lovely properties in the state.
Mulberry Lavender Farm is a locally owned and operated farm and bed and breakfast located in Mulberry, Tennessee. It's just a hot second from Lynchburg, where the famed Jack Daniel's Distillery hearkens tourists throughout the year.
The farmhouse itself was built in the 1860s and was actually owned by Wiley Daniels, the lesser-known brother of Jack. You can choose to rent a room in the farmhouse itself or choose to experience your trip from the privacy of the guest cottage on-site.
You'll be surrounded by beauty on the farm, and you won't be far from Nashville, Chattanooga, and even Huntsville if you're looking to take a drive out of town. There's a farm store on-site so you can bring some homemade goods back with you, and with the entire farm operating on a no-smoking policy you're bound to get the fresh air you need away from the city.
You can order goods online from the Mulberry Lavender Farm store, and there's really nothing like a handful of local lavender. There's just a simple beauty about it.
Mulberry Lavender Farm is a working farm, and you may have even seen goods from the property pop up at the Franklin Farmers Market or the Greene Street Market in Huntsville.
Come to relax, come to fall in love with your home state again. The folks at Mulberry Lavender Farm love lavender and creating a safe, beautiful place for visitors, and it's inherently obvious with every visit.
Will you be visiting this season? If you're seeking a one-of-a-kind escape near the comforts of home, there's no place like the Mulberry Lavender Farm in Tennessee. It's a dream and a comfort when the world gets wild, and we'd highly recommend making a reservation on their website below.
Fairytales are meant to be those timeless classic stories that sweep us away into a whimsical world where we leave behind the normal day-to-day. They are meant to be a place where we can escape and see the world as a little more magical once we return. I have always loved fantasy and fairytales, but sadly we don’t live in a world where dragons fly and wizards rule kingdoms from tall dark towers. There is, however, a fairytale house in Tennessee where you can journey off on your own fanciful adventure and the owners are inviting you into their own dream.

This stunning little place is called the Hansel and Gretel Fairytale Cottage. If you are familiar with the story, you will instantly recognize this iconic spot.
Sitting on 25 acres of beautiful farmland, this magical home seems very fitting nestled into the property. But unlike the fairytale, this house hasn’t sat here for years and years but was built by a husband and wife team and a construction crew. After visiting fairytale homes made famous by Hugh Comstock in California, the couple was taken by the concept. They set foot towards progress and started the long process of building their own cottages from the inspiration they drew.
Soon enough, the project was finished and the results speak for themselves.
Now you can rent out the space and step right into the owner's fairytale dream come true. The space is cozy with a big living room that comes complete with a fireplace. Unlike the story, however, this fireplace will only be used to bring a warming and cozy feeling to the cottage.
Bring the whole family along and the kids will love the loft area. There is a ship ladder leading up to a high-up doorway leading to their very own room.
The master bedroom itself is like stepping into an enchanting forest grove with large windows illuminating the room with natural light. Behind the bed is an accent wall that looks like it stretches out into a deep and dark forest.
The owners have only just begun and have already completed a second cottage on the property you can rent out. The Sleeping Beauty Fairytale Cottage is very similar but with its own attention to detail and story to tell. The property is open to play and explore as you stay with lawn games, a deck with a view, and so much more.
This fairytale house in Tennessee takes fantasy and brings it to life. Step into your very own magical tale and take a break from the *real* world. This cozy rental is meant to be a peaceful escape and a way to connect back with nature. If you are interested in booking a getaway, please visit the Hansel and Gretal Fairytale Cottage Airbnb page or the Sleeping Beauty Fairytale Cottage Airbnb page.
