Who We Are

Hi guys,

We are Casey and Wendi Olson. Casey is originally from Sitka, Alaska, and Wendi from Washington State. For many years the Pacific Northwest was our home and two of our three children were born there. It’s a beautiful place, but it just wasn’t for us in recent years and souls were guided seamlessly to East Tennessee.

Although we had never even visited Tennessee, we felt like the holy spirit paved a way for us, and led us to the little town of Sweetwater, TN. In the summer of 2021, we stumbled upon and purchased an incredible historic and whimsical manor built in 1859 on Sweetwater Creek, beside the train tracks. It was originally called The Brookside farm, and no known lovingly as “The Whistlestop Manor”.

This amazing property has enough room and land that we knew it would be perfect for our dream of working as a family to keep us both home with our three kids. It has been one wild ride… but there is nothing compared to watching your wildest dreams come true.

Casey is a journeyman electrician by trade but now manages the property. Taking care of a 165 year old expansive estate and our sprawling grounds is a full time job. Wendi has a background in public relations and extensive restaurant experience, and loves to cook and entertain. Together in our new home we are blending our love, talents, hopes and dreams into one special place we call home: Whistlestop Manor

We truly love what we do and know that this is a very unique and special calling we get to take part in, life is fleeting so you better enjoy it and love each other.

Love,

The Olson’s
