Quarter Spring Farm

Liberty, TN · 1 site
Quarter Spring Farm is located in Liberty, TN on the western edge of the Cumberland Plateau. It comprises 63 acres of wooded ridges and hollows with exceptional hiking and distinct landscape features. Smith Fork Creek, which feeds Center Hill Lake, is visible from the campsite. Quarter Spring Farm’s history is murky and still being discovered. The house is over 100 years old. There are stone property walls that may predate the civil war. We believe this site was a Mississippian period settlement because of the large amount of artifacts we have found. Please note: there is no electricity at the dome. There will be a battery with a light and the option to charge your phone. There is no parking at the dome. The walk is uphill and takes about 5 minutes or so. This is still a tent, the dome is not insulated and is not 100% sealed. Bugs do get inside from time to time. I will also provide you with water for cleaning and at least a gallon to drink. Just let me know if you need more. If you can get here before it gets dark, that is the best. If you can’t, that’s ok, we’ll just be hiking in the dark. Luckily I know my way around pretty good.

Fall Creek Falls Canyon Glamping

11. Fall Creek Falls Canyon Glamping

Pikeville, TN · 6 sites
The Canyon at Pond Creek — Glamping 30 Minutes from Fall Creek Falls Thirty minutes from Fall Creek Falls State Park, in Tennessee's Sequatchie Valley, The Canyon sits on 447 acres of Cumberland Plateau wilderness along a 100-foot canyon rim above one of the South's most dramatic gorges. An hour north of Chattanooga, two hours east of Nashville — the closest real wilderness escape for either city. Sleep in a geodesic dome overlooking the canyon. Hike to waterfalls. Swim in natural holes. Climb one of 150+ rock routes right on the property. Or just sit on the deck with a drink and watch the canyon go quiet. Leave the pavement and you've got two miles of gravel ahead — one mile to the gate, one more past it — as the road descends through wilderness onto 447 acres of Cumberland Plateau that hasn't changed much since it was coal country. From your dome's private deck, you're looking out over the canyon below — some domes face the Sequatchie Valley, others look directly down into the canyon at Pond Creek itself. Hike to the falls. Swim the blue holes. Watch falcons ride thermals from your deck. And if you climb, there's a 100-foot cliff with 150+ routes right on the property — but you don't need to be a climber to love this place. The property is big enough that you won't hear another soul. Getting Here from Chattanooga or Nashville Pikeville sits an hour north of Chattanooga (US-27 N) and two hours east of Nashville (I-40 / TN-111). Both drives are scenic. AWD gets you here fine; 4WD is better. 20 minutes to the town of Dunlap 30 minutes to Fall Creek Falls State Park 35 min to Savage Gulf State Park 1 hour to The Caverns Music Venue 1 hour to downtown Chattanooga (Lookout Mountain, Ruby Falls, the Aquarium) 2 hours to Nashville (Music Row, the Ryman, Centennial Park) 2 hours to Knoxville Things to Do -Just relax and enjoy the view -Explore the hiking trails -Rock climbing -Pond Creek has several gorgeous blue holes and several small waterfalls to explore -Enjoy nearby quaint stores in Dunlap, Pikeville and Spencer -Get Active: horseback riding, canoeing down the Sequatchie River, local ATV/UTV trails, world class hang gliding, and cave exploration -Day trip to Chattanooga: Lookout Mountain, the Tennessee Aquarium, Walnut Street Bridge — all about an hour away -Visit world-renowned parks close by: Fall Creek Falls State Park (30 mins away), Savage Gulf State Park (35 mins away) -Check out our guidebook for other local attractions such as: Fall Creek Mennonite Community, farmstands, pottery making, antiquing, small farm hosting animals and arts/crafts
