45 private acres on our homestead for you to roam. Seven eclectic sites to choose from ranging from primitive camping to a lovely log cabin. All except the log cabin lovingly built by the owner, loaded with creative touches. Featuring: * Two gorgeous waterfalls. Each of our stay-sites are located within about 100-150 yards of Fifty-foot tall Miller’s Falls. * A large cave at the end of a short, but rugged hike. * A fairy Village filled with Hollow Oak Tree Fairy homes. The trees glow after dark. Magical. * Three acres for group camping centered on a well-equipped, covered outdoor kitchen. * Peaceful Meditation Retreats at the Outdoor Kitchen under brain-wave enhancing satellite dishes. * Certified Hypnotherapy Disclaimer: The flow of the waterfall is subject to fluctuations in temperature, seasonal droughts, & rain fall. The most favorable seasons for waterfall flow are fall, winter & early spring. We came to this magical place to found a self-reliant, homesteading eco-community when I retired from corporate life in 2006. It's called the Village on Sewanee Creek, named for the creek 800 feet below the bluff where we are located. I traveled the world as a senior executive for Baskin-Robbins, Dunkin' Donuts, Papa Johns, Blockbuster, 7-Eleven and other retail franchises, making the world safe for Pizza, Ice Cream, Pancakes Video Rentals and American convenience. And I was ready for something more fufilling. I scouted for a place of exquisite natural beauty and I found it here. I bought way too much land just before the real estate bust and learned how to turn a nice fortune into a very small one. I faced challenges and had lots of fun. Now I want to share our experience. It's the Village 2.0 for guests. Or not. Life in the city is OK as long as you can get away frequently. I'm convinced if you love nature and the outdoors, this is the best place to celebrate it.

LOVED this site - will return!
10/10 recommend this amazing property! Grant and Becky could not have been more welcoming hosts and the property and specifically our site far surpassed my expectations. Our first night, there was a terrible storm that lasted for about 12 hours and we were able to sleep well and stayed totally dry. Best part of being there during this storm was how magnificent the waterfall was the next day! It’s a very easy hike just down the creek from the Tree tent to the waterfall and it was absolutely stunning! We were in the area for a concert at The Caverns, which was an easy drive from this site. Town is close if you need to pick up anything and we had a really great breakfast at The Cafe on 28. We recommend taking an air mattress for sleeping with extra blankets. Also towels for either playing in the creek (I did a little cold plunge to soothe my aching feet.) or for taking a shower. It's so nice to have these amenities when camping! If you have a larger group you can rent the large outdoor kitchen! We brought our own firewood, but not enough and the hosts are ready to provide wood for you if you need it (only $15/bundle). We did not use the grill, but there was a small charcoal grill there for us to use. There were also a few camp chairs and a nice area under the tent for food prep and keeping your things dry if it rains. I also was able to hang my hammock easily. The compost toilet is close and clean. "⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ would poop again " (see photos😏) We will be back! Thanks

Treehouse Campsite
I had a truly wonderful stay at the treehouse! I fell asleep on the deck to the sound of the waterfall each night and enjoyed absolutely beautiful land to explore all day. If you’re looking to be completely isolated to the point that no one else is on the property than this probably isn’t the best fit for you. However as solo female travel, Grant’s land provided a sense of safety and inspiration. Grant and Becky were so helpful and kind, readily available for anything I might need. I would highly recommend staying at the treehouse. It’s something very special and I will definitely be returning!.

Not just a campsite—an experience
We came from Florida! Right from the start, we were gracefully welcomed by Grant & Becky. Which are two absolutely fabulous people that I could talk to forever. They kindly showed us the trails & other sites & never ever made us feel like a bother at any moment we needed help during our stay. You can tell they truly take pleasure in making sure your experience is nothing less than exceptional. You get so much more than what you are booking for. You have access to all of his land no matter which site you book. & they are not hovering over you watching you at all. They let us live our adventures out on the primitive camping site, which is so beautiful & perfectly structured. I could wake up there every morning and feel pure bliss. The sunsets are to die for. The best nature experience I’ve truly ever had. The waterfalls, hiking trails, trees, plants, creeks, are just so indescribable. We will definitely be back over and over. We also had the pleasure of attending a meditation session with Grant. This session brought me back to life truly. I’m even planning to bring friends back for this. The session is so personalized and you can tell everything including the session, the stay, the experience is all out of his heart. You can tell he really loves this place & I’m so grateful he shares it so we can love it too. This was such a special experience. I can write a book about how much this experience has encouraged & transformed us. This place has a spot in my heart forever.

We had a great time. the site had easy access to the stream and also a nice hike to the waterfall. Also it was very peaceful at night with the sound of the stream. Our kids really enjoyed roaming around at night and loved the mystery of the fairies.

Outdoor covered kitchen + Yurtle
Very cool place. The yurt(le) was very cozy and was much appreciated during a very windy, stormy night. The kitchen was also a great refuge. Plenty of kitchen necessities. Our group of 13 was super comfortable with all the space. It was pleasant and fun. Short walk to a very impressive waterfall, with even more things to discover further down trail. We didn't find much reason to leave the area, though! Extremely relaxing weekend. Grant was very informative and helpful!

Treehouse Campsite
Peaceful retreat
Such a beautiful, secluded area. You can hear the waterfall constantly in the background. We slept outside on the open air porch - amazing! There’s an outhouse that’s easy to get used to. Don’t bring food that requires boiling water, ha! Just two small burners that will get the job done with easy food. Bring hard plastic containers for food storage as you might have a mouse visitor at night. We never saw it but he did get into our bread. Campfires every night were great under the star-littered sky. They have extra blankets, but bring pillows. Already recommended it to a friend!
