It is certainly worth a visit.
Writer Suzann McMinn returned to her family roots three years ago to 40 acres of land in rural Roane.
The 44-year-old McMinn said she was at a crossroads following a divorce.
Figuring that as a writer, she could take her laptop computer and work anywhere, she turned to her family's 200-year-old roots just outside Walton.
McMinn, who has written 26 books, many with the Harlequin romance imprint Silhouette, keeps a daily Web log of her adventures in rural living.
The blog continues to garner a lot of attention, mostly because it reflects country life.
