Secluded and Quiet

We loved that it was only 30 minutes from pigeon Forge and an hour from the heart of Gatlinburg. It was secluded off of busy roads so it was quiet and peaceful. Janice and her animals were awesome and we really enjoyed it.

A really fun place to stay

My girlfriend and I loved staying at the ranch. The room was clean and comfortable, and being able to explore the property with all the trails and animals roaming around was really enjoyable. We also had a great time riding the horses up the nearby mountain. Highly recommend doing this as opposed to booking a soulless condo or apartment in nearby Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge.

AMAZING

The most amazing Thanksgiving vacation was this week thanks to Twin Valley Horse Ranch, Ms. Janice, Jadyn, and all of the amazing horses and animals. We are staying in the Cowboy Hideout which is beautiful and made of gorgeous wood from the property. It is perfect for our family of two girls and a baby. It truly feels like home with a full Kitchen, rockers on the porch, cozy blankets, and tons of homey touches. We have spent a lot of time at the ranch, but had no issues going into town for Dollywood, Dollys Stampede, and snow tubing in Pigeon Forge due to the drive being incredibly beautiful. We are a neurodiverse family and Ms. Janice was incredibly understanding and patient with our daughters challenges. This is a rare gift and I know that we were meant to be here. My girls have loved learning about both mini horses and full size horses, not only how to ride but also how to connect with the horses and safety . The toddler has enjoyed playing with all of the chickens, bunnies, kitties, and dogs that happily call Twin Valley home. We are already planning our next trip here and are sad to say goodbye!

Having the animals right next door was fun. My daughter overslept and we missed the horse ride, but it was still a good atmosphere.

If you're ok with no wifi/service as we were this is definitely a place worth visiting. The horse ride was worth every minute (about 2 hours) and the room was cozy. Loved all the animals.

Last minute adventure

My hubby and I were so delighted to find this little gem! We were on our way back to Alabama from West Virginia and wanted a cozy place to stay the night. We got just that and an awesome horse riding adventure as well! Ms Jan was extremely accommodating even with us arriving super late! The Cowboy Hideout was really cute and very cozy!! Very well named :) In the morning, we helped feed the chickens, bunnies, kitties, goats, donkeys, pigs, and horses (regular sized and miniatures). Then, after a very informative riding lesson, we got to tour the incredibly beautiful Smokey Mountains via horseback with Ms Jan leading the way through their trails !! It was exciting and we felt very safe! It was just the trip we needed !! Thank you, Jan !! We will be back when we have longer to stay!!

A nice place to get away from it all. Janice was very nice and it was good to get to interact with the animals. 2 days wasn't enough to enjoy all the activities but still had a good time.

Amazing Ranch

Twin Valley Ranch is a beautiful place, and perfect for unplugging and getting back to nature. We had hot dogs and s'mores over the fire pit and saw the Milky Way for the first time in ages, and the kids learned the ins and outs of using a VCR. :-) The trails were beautiful, the horses were gentle, and we loved getting to know the goats, donkey, mule, cats, bunnies, chickens and miniature horses. We stayed in the Cowboy Hideout and it was perfect for our family of 4, cozy and quiet. Kudos to Jan, Julia and Marcus for building such an amazing place.

Great time

Our 19 month old and we loved stayedat Janice place. Location was good, not too far from 321. The animals were awesome, or son fell I live with the kittens and bunnies (we almost ended up taking a kitten home). Janice was warm and welcoming. No Wi-Fi (we didn't care) and TV was a VCR player with VHS movies. It's not immaculate it is a cabin there were bugs that found their way in. We didn't mind. Bed wasn't super comfortable but we survived just fine. We would definitely stay there again.
