** For photo/video shoots, please inquire to book on the site AVVAY. Not here. Thanks!! Sleep amongst a variety of wild and weird creature sculptures in a campsite like no other. A secluded hilltop property on 5 acres of trees, an easy 20 minute drive to Nashville. We have great sunsets up here on the hill, a peaceful little dead-end road. The campsite is at corner of our property, tucked just out of sight of our house a couple hundred feet away. You can even get a painted wood cutout version of your favorite creatures from Brett! (see extras and message us for availability) Stay in our camper, a 1963 Shasta, remodeled by us. We removed all of the old broken camper stuff and it is now a simple, colorful room inside, with a full size bed and some fun funky art from our collection. Enjoy an old VHS movie on the little tv, or some classic cassettes in the tape recorder.

***PRIVATE PROPERTY – SINGLE SITE RENTAL*** Tranquil Countryside Hideaway in Gallatin, Tennesee Enjoy peaceful country living just 3 miles from Gallatin Square and 35 minutes from all the excitement of Nashville’s “Music City.” The site offers easy access, plenty of parking, and a deck where you can relax and take in the stunning sunsets. Full sewer, water, electrical hookups, and utilities are included in pricing, along with weekly trash removal. The property is fully surrounded by trees for privacy and features a small seasonal pond and creek; perfect for a quiet walk in nature. There’s also plenty of open space for gardening, outdoor games, or playtime with the kids. You’ll love winding down around a real campfire (permit required) under a sky full of stars. As your on-site hosts, we’re happy to share local recommendations for live music, great food, and the many natural treasures nearby. Tennessee boasts more waterfalls than any other state (so they say!), and the ones we’ve explored are breathtaking. You’ll also find abundant opportunities for hiking, water recreation, sports, hunting, and exploring the region’s deep history. Please note: We live near a working family farm, so you may hear farm activity or notice farm smells, depending on the direction of wind. If that might be an issue for you or anyone in your group, we kindly ask that you not make a reservation, as we cannot offer refunds for this reason. No hunting is permitted on the property. Per our insurance provider, by renting from us, you agree to assume full responsibility and liability for yourself, your guests, and your property during your stay. We simply ask that you treat our home and land with the same respect and care that we give it. If that sounds like a good fit, we’d love to welcome you to our little piece of Heaven in Tennessee! P.S. We already have a discount in place for extended stays. Request via message and we'll send. Also, Hipcamp does not allow for communication outside of the app until the site is booked, so please refrain from adding your phone number or email in your messages to us so they don't get blocked.
