As we turned onto Possum Trot Road we passed signs for “Tiny House,” “Cowgirl Cabin,“ and then “Winnie Jane Bago.” Along the winding gravel road, we drove until we came to an old white farmhouse where we were greeted by a pot-bellied pig (Herbert) in the front yard. Such is your welcome to Lemon Lane Farm, a charming, bucolic 118 acres off the Cumberland Plateau owned and operated by Amy Thran.
A Nashvillian and business executive, Amy was on the early side of the Air BnB business with a dream of owning a farm. In 2018 she was going to rent out a rustic cabin and found that the entire property was for sale. It was originally owned by the Lemons, where they had raised their family, and included the original farmhouse, with 118 acres and a rustic cabin. She bought it, moved into the farmhouse, added a large porch, and got to work. She updated the rustic cabin named “Cowgirl,” then added a tiny house called “Tiny House” in a field overlooking the mountains. After “Tiny House” she added “Winnie Jane Bago” and next “Happy Camper,” for a total of 4 small, sweet places to stay.
Her goal? For folks to disconnect and discover nature and animals. And there is plenty of both.
