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.

Beautiful property! We enjoyed our hikes down to the falls that were so close to the treehouse! The treehouse itself was perfect!

This is a great camping spot! We chose the primitive camping site and it was exactly what we wanted. Private, far from other guests, and plenty of room to roam and explore. I was a little worried about the road accessing the site, but we made it in a fairly low cross-over SUV without any problems (in dry weather). The property is amazing and has an easily accessible waterfall that rivals many state parks! Grant is a great host and welcomed us on arrival, showed us to our site, and told us about the property and the area. Great communication throughout booking, checking if everything was okay, and on checkout. I definitely expect we will be back soon!

We had an amazing time in the Beech Treehouse! Becky checked us in and showed us around + gave us an overview of the trails. Their private waterfall was beautiful, and we loved exploring the stream with our dogs. The porch built into the treehouse was such a serene spot to have our morning coffee and evening dinners. Cosy bed, well-stocked camp kitchen, clean hot shower, this really is "glamping" at it's core! Nice that there is a grocer about 9 min away for anything we forgot. And a few more restaurants in Monteagle about 20 min away, even more if you go to sewanee. 10/10 and will definitely return!

Perfect Weekend Getaway!
My partner and I loved camping on Grant and Becky's land in the Trampease Tree tent this past weekend. You could tell they really put a lot of thought into this setup as it had everything that we needed. Grant and Becky met us once we arrived and showed us where our site was and the different paths to take to check out the land. They encouraged us to hike their property and we saw so many beautiful sights and sounds. They have so much to explore on their land that my partner and I already want to go back! This was my first time booking thru Hipcamp and I have already told all of my friends to check it out! Stay with Grant and Becky, you will not be disappointed- trust me!!

So lovely! Grant has done just a nice job of creating magical settings on his land. We stayed in the tree tent and were impressed by how level and dry and sturdy it was. We loved having the creek wrap around the site and very short walk to the waterfall! We found MANY toads on our night walks to the fairy houses. Lots of fun!
