More than a stay -
a place where
families are changed.

Nestled in the wooded foothills of the Appalachians, The Tableview is an elevated cottage experience lovingly designed to change the way your family views connection.

"The Tableview was an amazing place to stop, rest, relax and enjoy God's creation. The hosts are very friendly and kind. When you needed help, they were there right away! We enjoyed fellowship with them and yet they respected our need for rest. May the Lord bless their kind hospitality."
- The Portugals
"Being at Table View is incredibly peaceful. I don't think I realized how refreshing it would be - it definitely is a healing atmosphere! There are wonderful places close by, yet being on site feels like a million miles away. It's absolutely lovely."
- The Gehrlichs
Our Story & Mission

We're Rick & Kristen McDonald - and we believe family changes everything.

We hold an unshakeable belief that the family unit is the primary avenue through which God is changing the world. Married in 2014, we embarked on an epic journey of deep healing - and discovered that the path forward was simple, though difficult: cut what separates, and invest hard in intentional time together.

We saw the results. Hearts healed. Deep relationships became possible again. Table View Farms is the next ripple in that growing ring - a place where your family can taste the sweetness of time together, on purpose, top priority.

"The average family spends 80% of their waking hours separated. We built Table View to start reversing that."
