Tipton Place Cades Cove Loop Road, Townsend, TN 37882

"I absolutely love coming here to visit where my ancestors lived. This is where my great grandfather was born. Growing up we'd visit here and Cades come twice a yr atleast and my grandmother wouldn tell us stories of growing up in the mountains. Soo magical."

"One of the historic landmarks in Cades Cove is Tipton Place. Once owned by Revolutionary War Vet William “Fighting Billy” Tipton, this two-story cabin from the 1870s is a time capsule. It has a large double-pen corn crib, old-fashioned bee gums, a blacksmith shop, and a cantilever barn. These barns held wagons, farming equipment, livestock, hays, and crops. A stroll through this site is like a journey back in time. While you’re in the Cades Cove loop, don’t forget to stop by Tipton Place."

"One of the many historic family cabins in the Smoky Mountains. While it has seen some restoration, much of the original build still stands."

"This is a beautiful spot. We don't stop here very often but it was not crowded when we were there this time. There are some great historic structures here and it is nice to walk around and picture what it must have been like to live here."

"What a wonderful place to visit and get a look at early Mountain life. Always a thrill to view the old cabins and barns. Beautiful place to walk and experience wildlife and nature at it's best. 11 miles on a one way road."
