  • Description

    Green Frog Farm is a settlement of historic structures lovingly restored to evoke West Tennessee pioneer history. There are four 100-year-old bed and breakfast cabins to choose from that include access to the grounds and buildings filled with artifacts of daily life from the early 1900s. Our mission is to preserve history and share it with our guests in a comfortable, beautiful setting.

    Come for the cabins, stay for the incredible setting. Green Frog Farm Bed & Breakfast is nestled in West Tennessee farmland amid a breathtaking collection of antique historic buildings that bring the past to life. You can spend an entire day exploring the grounds and fishing in the ponds. Access to the settlement buildings, like the 1920 cotton gin and one-room schoolhouse, are included in your stay.  Over 100 species of trees create a shady retreat as part of a state-certified arboretum.
