Weekend Trip to Greeter Falls Campground

We stayed in yurt #21 during our weekend visit and we loved it. The area was nice and clean including the bathrooms. The only negative would be that the yurts are too close together and if you get some loud neighbors like we did on our last night then it can get annoying 😑 but overall we enjoyed our stay😊

Weekend Trip to The Shady Grove @CaveValleyGetaway!

Jordan is a super chill host. The yurts are comfortable and the site as a whole is cozily nestled in the woods away from the main road while still being easily accessible by car. I’m looking forward to staying here again in the future.

Weekend Trip to Pondside Retreat @ Smith Springs

Me, my wife, and the doggos had a good weekend away! It was nice to have accommodations so we didn’t have to set up an entire camp. Everything was very clean, a lot of little things you forget were provided (soap, body wash, tongs, mosquito candles, battery powered fans, phone charger station, water cooler for washing hands, clean porta potty, hose pipe, etc). The shelter also had two chairs and two cots and privacy screens you can drop down. The solar string lights come in handy as well! The door to the shelter even locks and had a key! I also had a great time catching some bass out of the little lake (tip: they like black trick worms and pigjigs)! Directions were easy to follow and Carol and her husband were very friendly and helpful! We definitely recommend! The road is a little loud but it slows down at night and the frogs, birds, and insects take over!

Weekend Trip to TeePee Village

Dirk was a fantastic host! The site has a great set-up: - Each Teepee has it’s own bathroom & shower - Teepee’s equip with surge protector outlets, AC unit, fan, and light - Gas and charcoal grill work great - Hot tub seemed to work, but we didn’t use it The spot is so easy to find, and Dirk met us as soon as we got there to show us around. He was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. The location is nice and tucked away, so we felt secluded and safe. We were the only Teepee rented the nights we were there, but they seem far enough apart to not hear ovcupants of the other 2. The TeePee definitely got toasty from about 11 A.M. to sunset, but cooled off nicely as the sun went down. Sleeping temps were perfect (actually too cold so we turned the AC down in the night). Bed was comfortable as well. My girlfriend had never been camping so I choose this spot with it’s amenities, and we both had a great time! Both the Ocoee and Hiwasse were awesome!

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!

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

1 night at The Falls at Sewanee Creek

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

Tent

Weekend Trip to Covenant View Camp and Retreat

My wife and I had a great time. Robert was very friendly and responsive. The land was beautiful and the tents were in great condition. The toilet situation was pretty rustic but we understood that going in. Great place to stay.

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.

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 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!

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!!

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

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.

4 nights at Running Water Creek

The A frame was great and very convenient! The area was beautiful but be careful leaving anything outside as the dogs are very friendly but like to steal small items (my son's toy car and a shoe). You also cross train tracks on the way in and the train runs several times a day which is a little loud. All in all still a great place to camp 👍

3 nights at Cabin and Barn on 20 Peaceful Acres

Great location. Beautiful property. It rained on us a good bit, but the barn w/ outdoor kitchen area was a nice place to hang w/ plenty of space. Outdoor shower and bathroom is amazing. Checked out some trails nearby at cloudland canyon.. missed Luna lake as it was not open. George was very responsive and nice to talk with. I highly respect what he is doing and has done on this property.

3 nights at Greeter Falls Campground

It was an absolutely amazing stay and very amazing sights to see will definitely be back. All the staff was absolutely amazing.

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 Running Water Creek

I had a great time staying in this A-Frame. It stormed pretty bad while I was there and it proved to be strong and sturdy. Loved listening to the rain fall on the roof. The bed was comfortable and cozy. It was a beautiful property with the friendliest of dogs! I will definitely be coming back someday!

2 nights at The Falls at Sewanee Creek

Grant and Becky were the best hosts we could have met. We spent our honeymoon/bachelor/bachelorette trip at the treetop tent, and fell in love with the whimsy, wonder, and wiles of Sewannee Creek. Endearingly kind and wonderfully accommodating, our new friends at The Falls have immediately become our number one vacation destination. Thank you, endlessly! We will be back!

The Falls at Sewanee Creek

11 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.
