The Falls at Sewanee Creek

11 sites · Lodging, Tents45 acres · Tracy City, TN
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.

Show Nuf Ranch

1 site · Lodging38 acres · Birchwood, TN
Here at Show Nuf Ranch we have a variety of activities we attend to. We grow our own produce and some fruit. We raise our own chicken to eat. We have pigs, horses, chickens, 3 dogs, 3 cats, 2 guinea fowl, 1 donkey and a newly hatched peacock. Our horsemanship is relational so we do not share our horse partner with other people, it’s similar to sharing your spouse…lol. We are happy to share our knowledge and philosophy regarding our equine partners. We also train/gentle mustangs off the range. It’s not really for profit as much as it is for the farm to support itself. Our hosting guests on the farm is another means to support the animals . When you stay with us at Show Nuf we will try our best to make you feel right at home, away from home. We will entertain you as best we can, or we can leave you be to relax. We have canoes and kayaks for you to take over to the lake if it’s a hot day and cooling off is what you’d like to do. Whatever you fancy we’d show Nuf try and help.
