45 private acres on our homestead for you to roam. Eight 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 from up-purposed materials. Featuring: * Two gorgeous waterfalls. Each of our stay-sites are located within about 100 yards of Fifty-foot tall Miller’s Falls. * Two large caves at the end of a short, but rugged hike. * A fairy Village filled with Hollow Oak Tree Fairy cottages and bio-luminescent trees that 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. If you love nature and the outdoors, this is the best place to celebrate it.

Just minutes from downtown Huntsville, Monte Sano State Park, rises more than 1,600 feet above sea level. In Spanish, Monte Sano means “Mountain of Health” and is known for spectacular views, fresh mountain air, fall colors, and mineral springs. Guests can enjoy 20 miles of hiking trails, beautiful Japanese Gardens, a Planetarium and Lodge, and all of the attractions, shops, and restaurants of the one-and-only, “Rocket City” Huntsville, Alabama. Combining luxury and the great outdoors, our extra spacious completely furnished Safari Tents give large families or groups of friends the extra space they need to glamp in comfort. What Is Glamping? At Timberline Glamping, We believe that luxury and comfort should not be sacrificed when spending time outside. You will have a very comfortable bed with proper linens. You will have places to sit, places to eat, and places to charge your phone. You will still be able to wake up and have a fresh cup of coffee from a Keurig Coffee Maker. We do provide heaters in the winter and air conditioners in the summer, but remember this is a tent with a canvas exterior. The heating and cooling will be just enough to take the edge off, but will not have the same effect of a home. Most Importantly, you will have a chance to re-imagine the world around you as you make special memories with family and friends. If you are on the fence and have more questions, check out our FAQ page or please reach out to us and ask questions. It is better that you know before you go!

1 night at The Falls at Sewanee Creek
Amazing set-up!! Beautiful location and scenery. I stayed in the glamping tent and it was clean, comfortable, and safe. I went by myself with my dog and she loved having all the space to run around outside the tent. We also hiked down to the waterfall and a little further, and I know there were plenty of other trails nearby too. A perfect getaway! Grant and Becky were super helpful and very sweet! 10/10 recommend booking here.

I loved the stay at the Galmping tent. It was an amazing, large area that was mostly private. Having the provided cooking area was extremely helpful. The views were great I found plenty of trails to wander and follow around. Grant, the host, was very social and thorough in providing information.

A friend and I were looking to take the dogs for a quiet retreat to relax and enjoy nature for a few days. The Glamper was exactly what we were looking for. The falls weren't there when we stayed, but it was still stunningly beautiful and peaceful, overlooking a cliff where the falls normally are. Be sure to check out the fairy village just a short walk away after dark when it lights up. Grant and Becky were amazing hosts and provided us with any assistance we needed.

My husband and I booked The Glamper for our Honeymoon and it was perfect! We were right next to the waterfall and could see it from the yurt! There is a lot to do in the area. Tons of waterfalls and places to hike! I definitely loved being able to unplug. Take a dip in the waterfalls, go to the nearby bakery and admire The Lords Creation!

Becky and Grant have a beautiful piece of land and are incredible hosts. They truly want you to have the best time on their property and are there to help you with anything you could want/need. It’s obvious they genuinely love the company of others and that they enjoy sharing their land for others to enjoy. Words simply cannot do this place justice and we loved exploring it. We will be back soon!

2 nights at Starlight Haven at Weiss Lake
Beautiful glamping experience! Stayed here for New Years Eve in one of the safari tents, #11, Pecan, was away from the ground & had 2 egg chairs, a hot tub & grill outside. Inside was a beautiful, soft, full-size bed, as well as 2 extra blankets & a strong heater, a white porcelain tub with a removable shower-head, thick, large, plush white towels, then in the kitchen, a Keurig, with basic plate-ware, mini fridge, microwave, as well as a little eating area. There’s also a large TV & the board game, Scrabble. Things to keep in mind: this is still “glamping”; light is limited after dark both outside & inside the tent; the water in the tub wasn’t hot; lukewarm at best. Pro-tip: for an easy dinner option, we got hot dogs, baked beans & chips at the Ingles, about 20 minutes away & heated in microwave. It felt like a romantic and unique experience, overall. The Weiss Lake glistens. We got to visit Mentone, AL during the day to see the hippie/art culture scene there, super cool. Didn’t get a chance to meet anyone while glamping, but the privacy was nice & appreciated. We will definitely be back!

The tent was very clean & spacious. Beds were fairly comfortable. The bathrooms & facilities were very clean & kept warm. We were right by the playground which was perfect for the kids, and the bathroom was close too. While the tent did have a heating/cooling unit, I’d suggest bringing extra blankets & at least 1 space heater for cold nights. We were able to keep the tent a comfortable temperature with the help of our space heater, but without it we would’ve been pretty cold overnight.
