Weekend Trip to Hidden Timbers Homestead

Absolutely loved my stay here. The bathroom is so nice and the weather was gorgeous. The sweetest cat you’ll ever meet is here. I felt safe and comfortable, and will definitely be going back on my next trip out west!

Weekend Trip to 4J Farms- The Red Barn

Great place to crash for the night! Fun location and peaceful surroundings. The barn on the property was a fun bonus — great spot to hang out and unwind after a long drive. Host was welcoming and everything was better than expected. Would absolutely stop here again!

1 night at Hidden Timbers Homestead

This was a quick stay for me and it had everything that I was looking for. I really enjoyed all the big trees providing shade and the sounds of the birds in the morning. Lauren was very welcoming and thoughtful when a storm rolled in.

2 nights at Hidden Timbers Homestead

We enjoyed the clean and beautifully decorated bell tent. Perfectly nestled in the trees making a camping experience without the discomfort and work of traditional tent camping. It gave us the opportunity to disconnect from the hold of electronics and enjoy family time. In addition to the wonderful hosts and their family a highlight was the comfort of home with restroom facilities. Can’t wait to book our next stay!

1 night at Happy Hollows Farm

Cute spot. Well-kept. Pull-up access for a vehicle. Nice and helpful owner. Great little getaway for a night. No restroom facilities (portapotty or otherwise), but clearly noted in the listing. Appreciated this little retreat outside of town.

Weekend Trip to Hidden Timbers Homestead

Lauren’s homestead was beautiful and both our hosts were great about communicating and letting us play on the property with our toddler. A unique experience and we would definitely stay again if we come back to the area.

1 night at Flora and Fauna Camp

Valerie has a beautiful place. The land is very peaceful and Valerie is a gracious host. I really enjoyed my stay and will enjoy staying here again. It felt good to work on one of my new folk songs up there, and I would recommend this place to anybody who likes a beautiful spot to set up camp.

Great stay, will definitely come back!

Hidden Timbers Homestead

6 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents7 acres · Joelton, TN

Hidden Timbers Homestead is a 7 acre campground retreat just 25 minutes outside the city of Nashville. With its open space and tall trees, it’s a private getaway still close to the action. The easy access and gravel roads give way to covered camping spots and quiet slips. The property also serves as a working homestead in its early years of development. On any given day you may be accompanied on your walks by our farm dogs or a chicken or two. Here you’ll find peace. It’s our goal that you leave revived and refreshed after hiding away for a few days on the homestead.

Brand'n Iron Hills

4 sites · RVs, Tents40 acres · Dover, TN

40 acres Located in beautiful Dover TN 5 miles from Lake Barkley & the Cumberland River. Conveniently located a few miles from town, far enough that it is quiet, but close enough that it is not a long trip to town. The property features a variety of thriving wildlife due to our fresh water stream that gently flows through the property year round. The stream is roughly ankle to hip deep depending on the area. The water is crystal clear and safe to play in if you have little ones. Walk along the stream and discover all kinds of fish, turtles, beautiful river stones and possibly see a beaver or 2. If you have Archery equipment, you can use our Archery Range. The property is split by a 2 lane road. 7 acres to the North and 33 acres to the South. The smaller side is flat with many trails, fresh water stream and a gravel road. It features relatively junior trees and is home to a family of Whitetail Deer. The Southern side of the property features a mature hardwood forest full of giant white oak trees. Be sure to put on your hiking boots though, because there's a few Hills to climb. Three hills that form a beautiful valley in the center, with another fresh waterstream. The valley was once home to a 1700s settlement, so you may find some artifacts. (We just ask that you leave them where you find them.) Main trails are marked clearly with large reflectors for safety. With the near-by wildlife refuge you are sure to see and hear a variety of wildlife. We have large steel firepits in every campsite. So feel free to bring your own firewood! Enjoy a good book or nap while relaxing in a hammock. Swing with a loved one while over looking the fresh water stream. Walk down along the stream and collect rocks, feed the fish, or go for a dip! Currently our property is very Primative, whichever there is no electricity or plumbing. We do offer clean composting toilets & a locking gate at night for your security. **Cellular service is limited in some areas. Signal can be found by the road, or cross the road and take the trail up the 1st hill**
