About Wholemeal

History

Our extended family have been visiting the Cumberland Mountains since the 1860s, when they headed to Beersheba (pronounced by the locals: BURR-shə-ba) to escape the cholera epidemic. Wholemeal was built in the early 1980s by Nelson and Sue Andrews. Previously, the house that stood on the lot was known as “Piecemeal II” - named after Piecemeal in Coral Cables - because of their piece-by-piece additions. When Wholemeal was built, it was constructed all at once, hence the name :)

The Beersheba Springs Historical Society preserves and promotes the history and culture of Beersheba Springs, Tennessee, and helps to foster a sense of community among its people. During the summers, it hosts monthly meetings, two barn dances, and operates the local museum.

Enjoying the Property

The house is known for its communal spaces located on the first floor: The Great Room, The Snuggery, The Kitchen, and of course, the wrap-around screened in porch. It’s a great place to gather, whether you’re taking advantage of the many board games available, playing pool, lounging in the hot tub, building a fire, reading a book by the fire (or on the porch), taking a walk around the block, or simply appreciating the company of friends and family.
