Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### William H. 20 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy 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! ##### William H. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025
