The greatest irony? Though Travis began with a vision of the ideal hunting cabin, he barely hunts these days. He's too busy making mud pies with his kids and caring for his land.

Bedroom
Travis secured additional reclaimed logs from a barn and a smokehouse to create a master bedroom and a large screened porch. A '50s-era settee sidles up to an iron bed by Pottery Barn. A pine chest and a round table take the place of matchy-matchy nightstands. Travis, a violinist, keeps the Gibson bass guitar on hand for guests. The wall is painted Monroe Bisque HC-26 Latex Flat by Benjamin Moore.
Front Porch
Most of the furnishings in their home boast past lives. To welcome visitors, Travis scored the front porch's weathered bench, once part of a Whole Foods display, at a local liquidation auction.
To date, Travis has planted over 100 trees, nursing them through drought, and carved out a one-mile hiking path on the hilltop. Travis and Katherine also partnered with the Land Trust for Tennessee on a conservation easement, ensuring that, even when they're gone, the property won't be commercially developed. Instead, it will continue to provide vistas for their children's children. "It gives me tremendous satisfaction to know this place will always be here," he says. "This world still needs big open spaces with hay bales and cattle."
