Mennonite Community

Morning:
Ease into the day with coffee on the porch of your cabin—Folk Stays, Highland Rim Retreats, or Cozy Cabins & Cottages make perfect settings.

Late Morning:
Stroll through the Mennonite Community, stopping for freshly baked goods, jams, and handcrafted décor.

Lunch:
Head to Oak Ridge Pantry or Grannie’s Kitchen Food Truck for simple, tasty, homemade fare.

Afternoon:
Take a scenic drive along the plateau, stopping at overlooks inside Fall Creek Falls State Park. Visit the lake, browse the nature center, or simply relax on a blanket under the trees.

Evening:
Enjoy a quiet dinner back in town or unwind with a craft brew at Happy Trails Brewing Co. before settling in for sunset at one of the beautifully designed cabins in the corridor.
