We are open March through December, offering a fan and shaded areas in the summer, and a small fireplace electric heater in the cooler months. Winter can sometimes be a bit chilly, and summer quite humid, but we do have campers almost year round. Brand name Bell 16 foot round tent built on sturdy cedar deck on top of a cluster of large limestone rocks in beautiful grove of mostly Maple and Oak trees. My oldest son Ben, and I built this campsite in January of 2024, from both our visions, and tried to make it a truly magical setting. Ben was also featured in two episodes of Building Off The Grid, on the Discovery Channel, so he put quite a bit of expertise and knowledge into our site. I love hosting and decorating, so the interior of the tent is constantly changing. Also features cedar outhouse with composting toilet, cedar bridges built across rocks, as well as hammock area, picnic table and gas grill. Firepit has Adirondack chairs, natural log seating and several more folding chairs, pillows and outdoor blankets stored in waterproof chest. Tent features a queen size bed, adult size folding cot stored under bed, adult size sleeping pad, 2 upholstered chairs set up as reading/relaxing nook, coffee maker, fan and Yeti battery pack for electrical and charging needs. We will provide drinking water and extra water for washing up. We supply all linens and dishware needs. First Aid Kit is provided, but we are just a short walk through the woods if you need anything. Nestled on 1 acre of our 10 acre hobby farm, which includes Peacocks, chickens, 4 cats, 5 Collies and a Weimaraner named Maggie, as well as a couple of goats, including a very friendly dwarf goat named Pickles. You may also see wildlife, such as deer and turkey, strolling down the meadow on the lower part of your site. Strands of lighting and battery candles provide a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere in the evenings. Fire pit area features large metal ice bucket, with coolers available if you need one. For additional fees we can provide you with firewood, fresh eggs, homemade breads, cookies, and ask us about some home cooked meals!This site is nestled on one acre of woods and field. It has it's own private driveway and parking area. 45 minutes from Nashville, only 5 minutes to Watertown for any supplies you made need. Private outhouse with composting toilet, no shower but potable water is provided. We do allow guests to bring up to 2 additional tents to set up. The tent has a queen size bed, an adult size cot and sleeping pad.

We had an awesome stay here! The yurt, built on top of the rocks while out in beautiful nature, is a great experience!

With kids

My kids loved exploring the rocks and looking at all the animals! The yurt is clean, cute, and cozy, and the campsite was perfectly stocked for novice campers like us. Great for young kids—room to run and explore, and only my youngest needed help on the fascinating rocks/boulders that the yurt is built on. I’d like to visit in other seasons—more foliage would make the campsite feel even more off the grid!

Fairy tale setting

This site is like out of a fairy tale. So cute and cozy! You can tell the hosts’ heart, vision and creativity went into designing the site. Judy was a wonderful hostess and her homemade cookies are delicious! Highly recommend this site!

Magical yurt 🥰

An amazing place to have a little getaway even if it's local. My husband and I had a relaxing time listening to the rain while staying cozy inside. We ordered some cookies and they were so good with our coffee and hot chocolate. I love the style and decor put into this yurt. Makes me want one of my own They really put a lot of care and love into making this spot special. We would definitely go back to enjoy the fire pit sometime when it's not raining

On the rocks, rocks!

With kids

We absolutely loved our stay on Judy’s property! It’s so well stocked and thoughtfully designed. The yurt is perfectly cozy and spacious. We had four kids with us who stayed in a tent. They had a blast climbing on rocks, feeding the animals, and exploring the property. Pro tip: take Judy up on her offer to bring you dinner. Not only did it make our trip so much easier, but it was delicious! :) We will absolutely be back again.

Best HipCamp Yet!!!

Phenomenal setup. Absolutely awesome. They thought of everything - it's so dang cozy and beautiful. The way it's built on top of the rocks is so unique and it really makes the whole site stand out. Hosts were very hospitable while respecting privacy. Delicious cookies. Everything was clean. We had an amazing mini moon with our pups, and we will definitely be back.
