Your host Val has walked away from her life as a tenured graphic design professor for a passion that is probably her true calling. Inspired by travels and a youth immersed in girls scouts, I created this retreat center and camp for the opportunity to relish in nature, put away the phone and get back to craft, conversation, and the basics of life. You'll relish in the quiet and beauty of the rural rolling foothills of Appalachia in mid-south TN. 20 minutes from any town so prepare en route. Route 99 splits the 17 acres with retreat center on one side and an 11.5 acre campground with significant river front property On The Buffalo. This is in Lewis county - of the Lewis and Clark adventurers. The Buffalo River is a class 1 and sometimes 2 river perfect for kayaking. Ask about add on options like a tour and story about the camp and animals or even a pottery lesson or art workshop.

Learn more about this land:
Situated just outside of Columbia, TN (one of the state's most up-and-coming cities) and right on the same road as our 11th President, James K. Polk, once lived - Peekaboo Meadows & The Big Red Barn are waiting to welcome you! Pull in, drive down the grass road and over the small creek, put it in park at the barn and go stretch your legs on the 4o+ acres surrounding. During the day, feel welcome to walk the serene meadows or take a cleared trail up the ridge to the treehouse! Don't be surprised to be greeted by all kinds of wildlife including deer, turkey, foxes, or our goofy, fun-loving Golden Doodle named "Shme." If walking isn't your thing, you are welcome to drive around (4wd recommended) to go scout out where you'd like to set up camp for the night. If you prefer more peace and privacy, there are two beautiful meadows to choose from which both reach deeper into the property. If you'd prefer the comfort of additional shelter, you are welcome to park and/or set yourself up at the barn instead (which is a little closer to the main road). There is power to the barn - providing light, 30AMP power for RV hookup, as well as an electrical receptacle that you can run your extension chords from. For the extra adventurous - you may want to take a hike up "Thornbush Trail," which follows the ridge right up the middle of the property and has beautiful views of both meadows to either side. Or, for a more direct route, take a walk right up our dirt access road to the upper ridge, where you can peek through the treeline for beautiful elevated views eastward toward Columbia. Our treehouse (in progress) is located right at the top of the access road. Though the treehouse has not yet been completed, feel free to climb the 20' ladder up the inside of the hollowed out trunk and pop your head out the top! It sure makes a great photo! Come back to the barn area in the evening to lounge in the hammock, hang out around the picnic table, or cook dinner and roast some marshmallows over the wood burning fire pit with cooking grill attachment (fireside tools & 1 bundle of firewood provided). One filtered and cooled 5 gallon portable Igloo water cooler will also be provided and placed on the picnic table outside the barn. One rolling 96 gallon covered trash bin will be placed inside the barn (please bag your trash). "Luggable Loo" portable compost toilet is also available for use inside the barn. Tho cell & wifi are spotty here on the farm, we will provide one walkie talkie during your stay for direct communication with the main residence, should there be any issues or needs that arise. On the flip side, privacy is respected and use of the electronics is completely at your discretion!
For recreation (each within 15-20 minutes of the farm):
1. Williamsport Public Fishing Lakes for fishing or kayaking
2. Stillhouse Hollow Falls Trail
3. Maury County Park with paved walking trail
Yummy food:
1. Puckett's Grocery and Restaurant (Also check out Hattie Jane's Creamery right next door for dessert!)
2. Shaffer Farms BBQ
3. Buck and Board Eatery
4. South Ahan (Thai)
5. China Chef (Chinese)
If you're still itchin' for things to do or food to eat, we're certainly glad to provide further recommendations! Our family's goal and aim is that all would feel welcome as they come and all would feel loved as they go. We sure hope your stay is as memorable as it is enjoyable.
Happy Camping!

Welcome to Muletown Farm, our peaceful 31-acre farm in Columbia, Tennessee. The property boasts of rich history with modern comfort. The main log home on the farm dates back to 1808. Today we love sharing the land with travelers who want a quiet place to relax and enjoy a little Middle Tennessee countryside.
Our RV spot gives you room to spread out and enjoy the views. It also has its own private fire pit with string lights, which makes evenings out here pretty special. It’s a great place to cook dinner over the fire, sit back with a drink, and watch the sun set over the fields.
Guests are welcome to walk around the property, fish in the pond, visit with our animals, or just enjoy the open space. Mornings are often peaceful with fog settling across the pasture, and evenings usually end with beautiful sunsets around a fire.
Even though the farm feels quiet and tucked away, you’re still just a short drive from downtown Columbia, one of Tennessee’s best small towns. There are great restaurants, coffee shops, and local stores to explore.
The Natchez Trace Parkway, waterfalls, hiking trails, and scenic countryside drives are also nearby.
Muletown Farm is also home to four restored houses and cabins that we rent to guests, so sometimes families or small groups are staying around the property enjoying the farm as well. Everyone has their own space and fire pits for privacy.
Whether you’re just passing through for a night or planning to stay a few days, it’s a great place to slow down, sit by the fire, and enjoy the land.

This beautiful place has been in my family for 3 generations. Since I was a child I loved having campfires and hiking. I used to imagine cabins speckling its landscape and story’s being told by travelers from far off places! Now that I am owner I can and will build those dreams and share them with as many folks as come to visit us! There’s 60 acres of hills for hiking a peaceful creek for meditation or just stick your feet in! A beautiful bamboo grove where we plan to build a camping platform in the very near future and you’ll be able to sleep in tha bamboo forest! We’ve come a long way in the last year, we have platforms, tents we can set up as glampers for those that love the idea but don’t want to have to set it all up. There’s several old buildings and unfinished projects left behind from my father we have a series of small cabins we will be building with them over the next 2 years it’ll be called “Boho Bottom”. We also host events, so far they are few and small but so much fun!! There is currently one communal bathroom with several more due to be built in the next year or so. As campers come the profit will help with future site development. Look forward to more updates as things develop!! We look forward to camp with you!

We stayed one evening and got in late. But it was clear from the explanation on how to get in and where to set up. There was a beautiful firepit/seating area already set up with lights that really helped us to settle in. The morning views were beautiful and the kids enjoyed seeing the horse and chickens.

Host was so nice. She showed us around the property and let us pick a site that worked best with our rooftop tent and set up. She showed us all of the amenities and gave us access to everything. The camp spots are spaced out from each other and are very peaceful. We had two adults and two small kids and they all enjoyed as well. The host was nice enough to educate us on some of the local critters, trees, and plants too. Forgot to take a picture of our setup while it was up, but here’s post camp pictures.

Peekaboo Meadows & The Big Red Barn was an outstanding place to stay. Its location made it incredibly convenient to explore nearby areas like Columbia, Mount Pleasant, and Spring Hill, while still offering a peaceful, countryside atmosphere.
Matthew was a fantastic host—friendly, responsive, and clearly dedicated to making sure guests have a great experience. His attention to detail really showed throughout our stay.
We used the property as a base camp for exploring the local mountain biking trails, and it couldn’t have worked out better. After long rides, it was the perfect place to come back, relax, and recharge.
The farm itself was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we’d absolutely recommend Peekaboo Meadows & The Big Red Barn to anyone looking for a relaxing and convenient getaway.
