Bob & Yo's Port Oliver Retreat

We have a 1 acre micro farm that we are in the process of piecing together. So far we have a few above ground garden beds, compost bin and chickens with one Rooster. We are located across the street from the Barren River Lake which is a 10,000 acre manmade lake that is used for flood control in the region. With the lake we also have the River (which you can float for 2 to 12 hour trips) and lots of state parks surrounding us for all types of nature!

Country Backyard Oasis

This property is a small 3-acre property owner by a private family. Trying to offset the cost of maintaining the property. It is the site of a log home (currently with siding) That was built prior to 1870. The family has planted apple and peach trees, blackberries, chestnut tree, walnut trees grow there. The family loves the remote location. It is across the street from woods, distanced from neighbors and approximately 100 yards from a wildlife management area which means great for fishing, etc. Also near to Barren River State park (a few miles). The Amish neighbors (just a few miles away) have public produce stands for local treats.Learn more about this land:100 yards from Federal wildlife management area. This area is great for hiking, fishing, creek.Also, this property is located in Amish country. We are a short drive (6 miles) from several public Amish produce markets. We would love to introduce you to our Amish neighbors for some melons, pumpkins, eggs, berries, peaches or tomatoes. It just depends on the season!This property is a field behind a house so not total privacy but you can camp away from view of the house.Also campers welcome to enjoy free range eggs from our chickens!

Fern Brook Nashville

This 37-acre timber farm was once part of a huge plantation owned by one of the first settlers in Tennessee. It is now registered and part of a Timber Forestry program with many old-growth trees (Tulip Poplars are Tennessee's state tree and there are some big ones here). There are steep hills and creeks weaving throughout this property. I love coming out here and escaping the city as you feel like you are deep in the woods yet still close to Nashville, Hendersonville, Old Hickory Lake and I-65. This property is surrounded by hundreds of acres of timberland which accounts for all the wildlife in the area.

Learn more about this land:

Pitch your tent, hang your hammock, or camp in your vehicle and listen to the year-round spring-fed streams. Feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, but know that you are still an Uber/Lyft ride away from downtown Nashville. You are also close to everything in Hendersonville, White House, Goodlettsville, and Old Hickory Lake.

1.5 miles from one of my favorite coffee shops, Authentic Coffee Co., and a handful of local restaurants (White House Pizza is a great one too and not far away). This campsite is on a 37-acre tract in the Timber Forestry program so it is all mature trees, hills, and creeks. 

More info on the property:

There are nice year-round creeks so you'll always have water. Plenty of firewood laying around from fallen branches and limbs. Please don't cut into any live trees though. Each site is clearly marked and has a designated area. Please try to stay around your campsite out of respect for other campers. Each site has plenty of space.  Don't be surprised to see animals, beautiful birds, and all kinds of wildlife. You'll also hear the woods come alive at night, especially the frogs during the spring and summer. The Owls are my favorite though. 

Details on the sites:

There are 2 campsites close enough should you want to book multiple sites with a group, but far enough away where you will not be disturbed. Campsite #1 is the first campsite which is tucked in between two large hills right alongside a creek. Campsite #2 is a little further back in the property alongside the creek. This is slightly more open and right on the creek as well. Both sites have plenty of good spots for a tent or hammock. You can drive and park at both sites as long as you have decent ground clearance (Examples of vehicles that have stayed: Toyota Highlander, Honda CRV, Subaru Outback, Jeeps). Many cars including a Toyota Prius have also made it back though. 

I am constantly improving these campsites so expect tables, shovels, and all kinds of things to make your camping more enjoyable. There will also be new campsites coming soon, including an off-grid tiny cabin, and primitive sites that would require a hike to access.

Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Thanks,
Matthew

String lights are up at the site so you can bring an inverter generator or battery pack to power. This is where campsite #3 is will be soon. It will be the largest of them all. 

Creek that runs by Site 2. The water was low, but babbled by the tent. It was the song we fell asleep to each night. 

I am guilty of laying in a hammock all day next to this creek. It will put anyone to sleep.
