Peaceful healing property. We do organic gardening and have animals that you can visit with as well. I have a sculpture studio and art gallery that you can come check out. We've been living off the grid for over 30 years. Come visit us and learn about our way of life! Enjoy complete privacy in a cozy forest retreat hut in a beautiful hollow in Middle Tennessee. Accommodates 2. Pretty steep 200 yd uphill hike to hut. Perfect for relationship getaway, spiritual retreat, or writing - planning intensive. Nationally-known spelunking (Indian Grave Point Cave) within 1/2 mile. 3 miles from Center Hill Lake. Hiking trails. Experience our alternative lifestyle with owner built solar log home, organic gardens and sculpture studio. Guests must arrive before dark to ensure finding correct address (GPS errs a last moment) and to facilitate hike up to hut. Potable water, trash disposal, and a toilet are available on site. Pets are permitted, as well as campfires (outside of burn bans). Guests love staying here: "Wow! This place is amazing, beautiful, peaceful, relaxing, and super cozy on cold nights. I can not recommend this place enough. William is a gracious host. He made sure I had enough wood for the wood stove and spring water to drink. If you are anywhere close and want a totally unique experience check this place out."

Safe and serene

Despite our late and short notice arrival, William was very kind and messaged almost immediately with directions. The tent camping was very peaceful and we felt safe knowing that his dog was outside roaming around to protect us. He had a very nice, handmade outhouse on his property which was an experience of itself. Before we left we got a chance to visit his sculpture studio, which my partner and I both enjoyed. Overall William and his land provided us a great experience.

Staying in the Hideout on William’s land was not only perfect for connecting with nature, it was also perfect for reconnecting with myself and my partner. You can feel the positive energy radiating out of the walls and the woods. William was lovely and welcoming, and we will without a doubt be back very soon

A lovely spot with hospitable hosts

This little shelter is on the most gorgeous property. William gave very clear directions (which we needed, as GPS steered us wrong). The short but steep hike was well worth it - we had a lovely night in the woods listening to the rain on the roof and birds in the morning. We enjoyed seeing William's studio space in the morning and they sent us off with some fresh vegetables from the garden and eggs, which we enjoyed on the next leg of our trip. I hope we'll have the occasion to come back!

Big Beech Campsite

Amazing place to tent camp and relax. Easily one of the most amazing outhouses one can ever use. William is a pleasure and his property is a true gem. Hung out with Rocket the dog and made a fire and enjoyed the peaceful spot. Highly recommended!

Peaceful Forest Vibes

Despite a late arrival, William was very accommodating - he even left me a jug full of fresh spring water at my tent site! The area was so peaceful, quiet, and secluded. Rocky ground, which wasn't a problem with my double sleeping pads. Very dark at night! I slept excellently and met William in the morning. He kindly showed me his studio and gifted me plenty of spring water for my drive. This is an exceptional place and I highly recommend that you visit - I'm already planning to return!
