Welcome to our serene and rejuvenating private getaway nestled within 1 square mile of forested beauty. The 'For'est Sanctuary offers an unparalleled experience where nature meets comfort, allowing you and your group to unwind and reconnect with the tranquil surroundings.
We have added multiple tree swings throughout the forest.
We are uniquely situated on the edge of the Tennessee Cumberland Plateau and the Tennessee river valley. We are currently offering 4 treehouse dwellings to share our peaceful land full of God's promises. The dwellings are spaced far enough apart for privacy yet not to far of a walk to the common area where the kitchen and shower are. You'll be surprised at how cool the tents stay under the forest canopy in the heat of summer. Then in the colder months we have various heating options to keep you cozy in 3 of the dwellings. Come to share this with us, it's an amazingly peaceful area.
Nearly 3 miles of hiking trails to enjoy during your visit. Take a spur trail off the main trail loop and there is a prayer shelter with a fire pit inspired by Luke 6:12 in the back corner of the property. Located at the edge of the prairie on the main trail is a sunrise/sunset/bird-watching platform that is 20 feet in the air with a 2 stage bridge to access it. We updated the outdoor kitchen with a 3 burner propane stove, Blackstone grill and hot running water with a 3 bay sink. Other cooking options include a tripod over the fire and a charcoal grill.
A short 10-minute drive to fire tower rd. brings you to a 2 mile loop trail with 2 waterfalls, Upper and Lower Piney Falls. Ozone falls is just a 20 minute drive. Then toward Spring City is Stinging Fork Falls at 25 minutes. Black mountain is my new favorite place especially the south overlook! The Hiking possibilities are nearly endless and close. I'll highlight one thru hike here since both trailheads are only 20 minutes away and is easy to coordinate with only 2 vehicles. It's a 10.2 mile hike that can be done in either direction and has a little something for everyone including a cave, boulder field, cascade and waterfall. Then you have massive Watts Bar Lake which is only 20 minutes away with a plethora of activities including the excursions we offer!
We look forward to hosting you!

My buddy and I had a great weekend getaway to relax at the Woodsman Cabin at Starr Mountain Retreat on 23 acres in the Cherokee National Forest near Reliance, Tennessee. This place is the real deal. It is quiet, private, and surrounded by woods with that perfect peaceful vibe.
The cabin is spotless, well laid out, and seriously comfortable. The queen bed in the main bedroom and the twin beds up in the loft were both very comfortable. They have literally thought of everything. There is a full kitchen, gas fireplace, grill, and all the little details that make it easy. You could literally show up with just a suitcase and feel like you’re checking into a hotel room. No scrambling for basics.
They even had an abundance of dry firewood ready, and they thought of the little things like dry kindling in a bucket ready for use. The fire pit served us well for some great evenings chilling out.
The owners were responsive, and it really shows in how well the place is set up. We felt that the advertisements for this location actually undersell just how excellent it is. This is a first-class spot in the woods. Already talking about coming back. Highly recommend it for any guys looking for a solid relaxing getaway. Thanks Nola and Brian! 🙌

Absolutely the perfect cabin. The cabin had everything we needed and only needed to bring our clothing and food. Nola has thought of everything for this cabin all the way down to the kindling for the fire. The beds were comfortable and the hot water was hot. The AC worked great and we loved the fire pit and front porch.

We got moved to #12, which was fine.
This is a full on river rat, class III and IV whitewater rafting, kayaking, etc place. We did not do either of those nor did we use the bath house facilities. They have a bar/restaurant/snack bar built around old school buses and live bands on Friday and Saturday night. We didn’t go listen to the bands, and we could only barely hear them from our spot (which was exactly what we asked for). We did get adult beverages our first night and fried pickles the second afternoon. It’s a campground so you're definitely pretty close to your neighbors, but not packed in like sardines like some campgrounds. It had a neat vibe with the bar, the music, and the rafters/kayakers hanging out. Our spot was fairly shaded. There were areas with zero shade and areas where you could barely see the sky. There were definitely some longtermers around. Tent camping, car camping, truck camping all the way up to high end rigs.
All in all, a nice campground!

I had such a great time solo camping here. I literally had the entire campground to myself. The campground is clean and well-maintained. The sunrise views are definitely worth booking this spot. Highly recommend booking this spot.
What to Know:
The campsite is a large field with views of the mountains. You drive up the gravel road and the campsites are at the top of the hill. You just pick one and thrive.
The bathroom - as stated in description, it’s nothing fancy but it works just fine. Bring toilet paper.
Google Maps Coordinates - I set my Google Maps to the coordinates listed in the Hipcamp app and they were wrong. Took me to a very remote and overgrown gravel road that almost destroyed my car. Put “Eads Bluff Overlook Campground” in your maps app instead.
Be prepared with shade from the sun if you are checking in before the sun starts to go down. It can get warm on top of the mountain. There is no shade at the campsites.
There are definitely bugs so make sure to bring plenty of bug spray.
You will totally enjoy relaxing here!
