Welcome to Mamaw's Place
At Mamaw's Place, we offer a unique farm stay experience in the heart of Mountain City, Tennessee.
Our historic home sits on a working farm and provides a gateway to experiencing the essence of the Mountain City community in Northeast Tennessee. Installed on the oldest barn on the property, the quilt mural is visible from the road. The Brown family has lived on the farm since late 1800’s. Originally tobacco, corn, hay and cattle producers. Snyder remembers as growing up our family was pretty much food self-sufficient , “we had a huge garden every year and canned and froze our vegetables. We had dairy cows, chickens, and hogs so we had eggs, milk, beef, and pork.” The new mural is the quilt pattern, “Tulip.” It is inspired by a real quilt that Maggie Brown made when the fourth generation Brown was born. “My grandmother had always loved her flower garden,” says Snyder, “and quilted every winter before her eyesight left her.” When Snyder heard about the Quilt Trail, she knew she wanted her family barn to have a quilt mural. “This farm is special,” she says, specifically proud of the five original structures from when the farm was established in the turn of the 20th century. “The barn, granary, chicken coop, wood shed, spring house, smoke house, were built by my grandfather’s uncle in the early 1900’s along with the farmhouse.” Maggie Brown’s granddaughters and great-grandchildren are continuing to carry on the tradition. Snyder and her family raise their own garden, beef, and chickens and is a beekeeper.
