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.

Trampoline tent vibes
I had an awesome solo trip to the trampoline tent. I was kindly greeted upon arrival and shown exactly where to go and offered everything I needed. I’d thankfully brought a yoga mat and a thick park blanket to put below my sleeping bag because the tent gets a bit drafty, but ended up being just fine & cozy. The property is beautiful and even though the waterfall was low due to drought, it was a beautiful and meditative experience to sit at the top and listen to the sounds of the water amongst the autumn colored trees. There were some neighbors across the way that were a bit noisy at night, but I understood that I had booked my stay on a holiday weekend, so it was likely a busier time than usual. I would totally recommend and would be happy to return (with more headlamps to because it does get dark!). Much love 🫶🏼

Second Time - Still Divine
This was my second out to the primitive spot on Grant and Becky’s property this year - first in the spring and this time in the fall. It’s the perfect spot for a getaway. They provide very clear directions and communication and location is secluded, private, and just a short hike to the waterfall. Not a lot of rain this time of year, so the waterfall wasn’t in its peak glory but it was still a gorgeous hike and wonderful time.
