1 night at The Falls at Sewanee Creek

We had an amazing stay! We cannot say enough good things about the warm welcome and hospitality we received. Our site was absolutely peaceful and beautiful. Hearing the waterfall at night, mixed with seeing all the fireflies, was magical. We will definitely be back!

Unique in all the world. I’m not aware of anything like it, although I’m sure there will be copies. This is the original.

Weekend Trip to The Falls at Sewanee Creek

Our camping getaway was just what we needed at the Treetent campsite! The directions take you to Grant's house to get check in. He was so kind and welcoming! He led us to our site, and gave us great information and tips to enjoy our stay. Our tent was roomy, clean, and dry. The area had received some rain recently, and he made certain that everything was in order for us. We had some shared shower facilities with the site across from us. The guests at that site did not impact our stay at all. The creek was beautiful and the sound lulled us to sleep. We had a fire pit as well as a BBQ grill for cooking. Our sitting area was covered and shaded beneath the treetent. We walked less than 10 minutes following the creek to Miller's Falls which was beautiful! We also caught the sunset at the fairy trees. The mist filled the woods quickly after sunset. Checkout was quick and easy! We plan on camping here again!

Magical indoor/outdoor sleeping space optimized for sounds of the waterfall.

The treehouse is very private, the sound of the waterfall was nice to enjoy when sitting on the back porch, you can’t see the waterfall from the treehouse, but you can hike down to it. The AC and shower in the treehouse are great

Beautiful area! Would recommend to others, especially those with wilderness dogs like mine.

Weekend Trip to The Falls at Sewanee Creek

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!

Grant and Becky’s place was simply AMAZING. Most of the property had some type of alternative style bungalow. The waterfalls, the fairy Forrest, the trails. It was all beautiful. We stood in the treehouse for two nights and had an outstanding time. Highly recommend. Grant has some crazy stories if you get around to talking to him for a while.

3 nights at South Suckcreek Campground

We had a blast camping in our converted Skoolie but wish we knew that having four wheel drive / off road ability wouldve been ideal to get up the gravel hill road to access the sites. We made it happen tho and loved the caves. Super cool. Thanks Billy!

1 night at South Suckcreek Campground

It was fun to go tent camping here! There seemed to have been some left over things from other previous campers but nothing that was bothersome. The road up to the campsites was a little rugged but with AWD we made it through.

2 nights at The Falls at Sewanee Creek

Grant & Becky were super friendly & loved taking the time to tell us all about the property. This is a great location & campspot. It was peaceful & quiet with zero noise from the road. We really enjoyed just sitting around listening to the sounds of nature and relaxing.

Weekend Trip to The Bolo Club

I loved the tent camping on Philip’s land. Philip was great and very attentive. He would come check on us to see if we needed anything. Lucky for us he had keeps firewood and ice stocked. We had a great camping spot right on the creek. We definitely plan to go back.

We loved our stay in the treehouse! It was so cozy and charming. The grounds are beautiful and Grant is a wonderful host. He truly loves what he does. I slept like a rock on the futon in the patio listening to the waterfall. Will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful experience on Kelli’s land. Very friendly and a beautiful hidden spot.

We had an awesome time hiking and exploring Grant and Becky's land! The base of the waterfall was great to swim in and the cave was super fun to hike to and explore! The Glamper was the perfect place to stay for our 2 night trip and we hope to be able to come back and visit them again soon!

2 nights at The Falls at Sewanee Creek

Wow ! This was the most peaceful and beautiful place ever. There’s so much to explore ! The waterfall is so beautiful, the trees, all the camp grounds, & most importantly, the people. Grant and Becky were great hosts. Very nice people and as a girl who camped alone in my car, I felt extremely safe. Thank you. I can’t wait to go back !

I can't even begin to tell you how photos do not do this place justice. There is so much to explore and do on property and all around the area. Grant and Becky have created a blissful escape where you are free to let your spirit run wide open. Trails and waterfalls, fairies and folklore. Would 100% recommend and will definitely be back. You have to experience it for yourself!!

Weekend Trip to The Falls at Sewanee Creek

We had a great 2 night stay in the Trampoline Tree Tent! The area was gorgeous and we slept so well. Stood under the waterfall and hiked all around looking for Faeries and Fireflys......Grant was very gracious and gave us a tour of the property on his side by side, and my 15 year old niece thought he was just the COOLEST person. The bathroom and shower facilities were easy to use and the hot shower felt great. I would definitely love to come back in the Fall when the weather cools a bit.

Weekend Trip to The Falls at Sewanee Creek

We loved tent camping here! Plenty of space for us and our two dogs! Fun fairy houses and mushrooms to find and there is a huge waterfall near one of the other sites on the property - about a 10 min walk away.

Wonderful hosts offering a great respite from it all in a beautiful landscape. Variety of accommodations, present but not in the way hosts, and great hosts…loved our chance to just chat with them.

3 nights at The Falls at Sewanee Creek

This was an excellent trip! The Beech Treehouse is amazing and picturesque. My kids enjoyed hiking the waterfall, climbing rocks, and catching crawdads. The fairy garden was spectacular and we actually did see several fairies! We went to the Fiery Gizzard trail and swam in two other waterfall swimming holes. What a treat!

Weekend Trip to South Suckcreek Campground

Magical spot! Great response time and perfect stay. Can’t wait to return. Thank you for sharing your gem of a property.

The Falls at Sewanee Creek

12 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents45 acres · Tracy City, TN

45 private acres on our homestead for you to roam. Seven 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. Featuring: * Two gorgeous waterfalls. Each of our stay-sites are located within about 100-150 yards of Fifty-foot tall Miller’s Falls. * A large cave at the end of a short, but rugged hike. * A fairy Village filled with Hollow Oak Tree Fairy homes. The trees 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. It's the Village 2.0 for guests. Or not. Life in the city is OK as long as you can get away frequently. I'm convinced if you love nature and the outdoors, this is the best place to celebrate it.

Our grandparents moved to the farm on Little Crow Creek on September 27, 1927 from up in Sinking Cove. They had six children with our dad, Charlie Jr., being one of them. Charlie Stubblefield Sr. was a very interesting man with a wide curiosity in just about anything that had to do with history, Indian artifacts, Civil War, fossils, oral history, religion and more. Therefore, the small museum on the property next to the pavilion is dedicated to our grandfather. Charlie Sr. and our grandmother served as Justices of the Peace for over 30 years. Further, our grandmother was the backbone of the family, and was a gracious lady with a special personality to handle the rigors of the day; we miss them both very much. The area has many interesting stories and legacies of characters of yesterday and today. Visiting The Bolo Club will be like stepping back in time to a slower pace where hopefully you will be able to enjoy the atmosphere and spirit of the farm.Learn more about this land:The Bolo Club has a unique combination of accommodations and activities, making it the perfect getaway. You owe it to yourself, so take the time to slow down, relax, and enjoy the sights, sounds, and atmosphere where country meets comfort! We have every type of camping you could ask for, from pitching your tent by the running creek to glamping it in The Lodge.

Forest at Sand Mountain

4 sites · Tents22 acres · Trenton, GA

22 acres of Private, Magickal forest spanning the bottom valley all the way to the top of Sand Mountain. The mountain has several natural terraces and flat areas suitable for campers to choose from including a nice spot overlooking a rock garden. As you ascend Sand Mountain, the vegetation thins revealing spectacular views of Lookout Mountain especially in the fall & winter months after the leaves have fallen. At the very top of the property are 30+ ft high cliffs with a cave. It has a colorful collection of lichen growing in it and we have named it our 'Mandala cave'. The cave is great for meditation. Rejuvenating guided hikes to the cliffs & caves are available upon request. This is raw land & raw forest. If you enjoy bush craft, there is plenty of material for you to build a lean-to, tipi, or structure of choice. Trees range from poplar to multiple species of oak. Natural wildlife include deer, wild turkeys, scorpions, and ticks. You're welcome to bring fluffy as we've never seen any predators, but there is a slight chance there could be some around. A lost animal on the mountain could be near impossible to find. We have 2 male cats. Unfortunately, the Earth does what she wants and weather forecasts can't be relied upon. We've had sunny days that have been forecasted to rain and un-predicted downpours. It can be raining at the top or the bottom of the mountain but not at the campsites in the middle.
