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.

Treehouse Campsite

Camping with kids and dogs

My family and dog stayed at Grant and Becky's Beech treehouse. It was clean and comfortable, and they even brought us extra blankets. My sister and her family stayed at the treetent campsite where the kids really enjoyed sleeping on the trampoline tent and catching crawdads in the creek. The entire experience was so unique and much needed. We loved hiking through the woods and checking out the Fairy lights. On the hike to the fairies, we learned that spiders eyes glow under LED lights! Since there has not been much rain, the waterfall was not flowing rapidly, but there was just enough for us to get under and wet our heads, which was better than coffee! This was such a fun experience that we will definitely return.

Outdoor covered kitchen + Yurtle

Nice getaway spot!

We enjoyed our weekend spent on Grant’s land. We plan to come back closer to winter when the bugs die down and the waterfall is more likely to be flowing. Even though we didn’t see the water fall in action, the canyon itself is a breath taking view. Beautiful property & Very accommodating hosts.

Treehouse Campsite

We had a great time staying at the Treehouse! The nature is unparalleled. Waterfalls was unfortunately dried up for our late September trip, but it was still a very enjoyable and beautiful stay. Really serene, beautiful stars at night, sounds of nature all around you. We loved watching the leaves start to change and fall. As a city girl, I did find the bugs at night to be challenging, but it's to be expected! Grant gave us a lovely tour at the beginning but our stay felt very secluded. The amenities are quite comfortable with AC/heating available, hot shower, clean out house style bathroom, spacious mini fridge. The appliances are a bit old, so cooking required a lot of patience. Overall however it was a wonderful stay and would recommend especially to those with more camping experience!
