The Big Tiny on Poplar Farm

We are a small, working regenerative farm and invite you to relax in a space that still feels like it did when times were simple. The Big Tiny is close to Murphy/Blue Ridge, rafting the Ocoee, shopping, hiking or apple picking. Grill on the large deck or sit in the rocker and watch the animals, and eat s'mores by the firepit before you turn in to one of the four cozy beds. It's peaceful here and you are invited to enjoy a simpler way of life. The space We live on the farm and ask that you read the following information and DISCLAIMER before booking.🤓 As you wake up with the rooster's crow (it can be loud here on the farm:) watch as we move the dairy goats to the pasture where the sheep are grazing and, see how our livestock guardian dogs work while we feed the animals - all from the rockers on your front porch! Or take a stroll on old trails in our woods or walk the pastures by the creek.
