Pitch your tent, hang you hammock, or park your camper and enjoy the great outdoors. There are a couple of level spots for your tents, as well as a nice rock fire pit for you to use. There is usually plenty of firewood available and there is an outhouse on the site. The pond hasn't yet been stocked with fish, but hopefully soon it will have more than just frogs. But for now the frogs provide great music. This is a rustic campsite, with rocks, roots, and steep terrain. Please bring your own camping gear, including chairs, and please take your trash with you. There is plenty of privacy, even though you are right near a public road that has very little traffic. There are no other campsites nearby and the owner lives 1/2 mile away. Recreation nearby includes Canoeing/kayaking on both the Elk River and Richland creek (shuttles can usually be arranged), Stillhouse Hollow Falls (beautiful waterfall hiking), Trail of Tears Interpretive Center, and Big Creek Winery.
Tents/Table/and cots are available to rent as well.

Welcome to Muletown Farm, our peaceful 31-acre farm in Columbia, Tennessee. The property boasts of rich history with modern comfort. The main log home on the farm dates back to 1808. Today we love sharing the land with travelers who want a quiet place to relax and enjoy a little Middle Tennessee countryside.
Our RV spot gives you room to spread out and enjoy the views. It also has its own private fire pit with string lights, which makes evenings out here pretty special. It’s a great place to cook dinner over the fire, sit back with a drink, and watch the sun set over the fields.
Guests are welcome to walk around the property, fish in the pond, visit with our animals, or just enjoy the open space. Mornings are often peaceful with fog settling across the pasture, and evenings usually end with beautiful sunsets around a fire.
Even though the farm feels quiet and tucked away, you’re still just a short drive from downtown Columbia, one of Tennessee’s best small towns. There are great restaurants, coffee shops, and local stores to explore.
The Natchez Trace Parkway, waterfalls, hiking trails, and scenic countryside drives are also nearby.
Muletown Farm is also home to four restored houses and cabins that we rent to guests, so sometimes families or small groups are staying around the property enjoying the farm as well. Everyone has their own space and fire pits for privacy.
Whether you’re just passing through for a night or planning to stay a few days, it’s a great place to slow down, sit by the fire, and enjoy the land.

This property was purchased by my husband and I in 1980 from Margret Cetera mother of Peter Cetera lead singer of the band Chicago. When purchased the home was a small non descript cottage with a pole barn in the back field. It has grown to support grape, blackberry and muscedime vines.The original home has expanded through time and around 20 years ago, the pole barn was converted into a large 1200 square foot cabin with modern conveniences. My husband and I actually enjoyed living full time in the cabin for a period of 5 years before returning to reside in the main house. The cabin consists of 1 large common space room with sitting area and kitchen. The antique farm sink has hot and cold running water. Also available is a large refrigerator, toaster, microwave oven, hot plate, coffee pot and portable dishwasher. The antique Hoosier cabinet holds cooking utensils and silverware and located above the kitchen counter you will find plates, bowls, cups and glasses for your use. The water is well water, pure and delicious without chemicals. The cabin is equipped with a full size pool table for our guests enjoyment. The master bedroom offers a comfortable sleigh bed, full bathroom with shower and just outside the bedroom is a comfortable patio to enjoy, complete with table and chairs for two and outdoor fire place. Also available is a twin bed tucked in the corner of the area between the main room and bedroom. For guests wishing to continue their exercise routine, a modern treadmill is available as well. Walk the spacious well landscaped yard with multiple seating venues including a large hammock. For a quiet night of movie enjoyment, bring your favorite movies and make use of the DVD/VCR machine and wide screen television.

Learn more about this land:
Situated just outside of Columbia, TN (one of the state's most up-and-coming cities) and right on the same road as our 11th President, James K. Polk, once lived - Peekaboo Meadows & The Big Red Barn are waiting to welcome you! Pull in, drive down the grass road and over the small creek, put it in park at the barn and go stretch your legs on the 4o+ acres surrounding. During the day, feel welcome to walk the serene meadows or take a cleared trail up the ridge to the treehouse! Don't be surprised to be greeted by all kinds of wildlife including deer, turkey, foxes, or our goofy, fun-loving Golden Doodle named "Shme." If walking isn't your thing, you are welcome to drive around (4wd recommended) to go scout out where you'd like to set up camp for the night. If you prefer more peace and privacy, there are two beautiful meadows to choose from which both reach deeper into the property. If you'd prefer the comfort of additional shelter, you are welcome to park and/or set yourself up at the barn instead (which is a little closer to the main road). There is power to the barn - providing light, 30AMP power for RV hookup, as well as an electrical receptacle that you can run your extension chords from. For the extra adventurous - you may want to take a hike up "Thornbush Trail," which follows the ridge right up the middle of the property and has beautiful views of both meadows to either side. Or, for a more direct route, take a walk right up our dirt access road to the upper ridge, where you can peek through the treeline for beautiful elevated views eastward toward Columbia. Our treehouse (in progress) is located right at the top of the access road. Though the treehouse has not yet been completed, feel free to climb the 20' ladder up the inside of the hollowed out trunk and pop your head out the top! It sure makes a great photo! Come back to the barn area in the evening to lounge in the hammock, hang out around the picnic table, or cook dinner and roast some marshmallows over the wood burning fire pit with cooking grill attachment (fireside tools & 1 bundle of firewood provided). One filtered and cooled 5 gallon portable Igloo water cooler will also be provided and placed on the picnic table outside the barn. One rolling 96 gallon covered trash bin will be placed inside the barn (please bag your trash). "Luggable Loo" portable compost toilet is also available for use inside the barn. Tho cell & wifi are spotty here on the farm, we will provide one walkie talkie during your stay for direct communication with the main residence, should there be any issues or needs that arise. On the flip side, privacy is respected and use of the electronics is completely at your discretion!
For recreation (each within 15-20 minutes of the farm):
1. Williamsport Public Fishing Lakes for fishing or kayaking
2. Stillhouse Hollow Falls Trail
3. Maury County Park with paved walking trail
Yummy food:
1. Puckett's Grocery and Restaurant (Also check out Hattie Jane's Creamery right next door for dessert!)
2. Shaffer Farms BBQ
3. Buck and Board Eatery
4. South Ahan (Thai)
5. China Chef (Chinese)
If you're still itchin' for things to do or food to eat, we're certainly glad to provide further recommendations! Our family's goal and aim is that all would feel welcome as they come and all would feel loved as they go. We sure hope your stay is as memorable as it is enjoyable.
Happy Camping!

Hostetler Homestead is in a perfect location set on a hill overlooking farmland, pasture land, and endless acres of rolling wooded hills. We were here for an extended stay while working on a house remodel nearby. Our favorite part of the day was returning to the farm to be greeted by numerous animals and enjoy the peaceful sunset. Andy and Annie were the perfect hosts. The site has full hookups with 30 amp power, a fire pit, and a concrete pad. We would love to return and highly recommend this location to all who love nature, farm animals, and the feel of an off grid experience without the sacrifice.

We stayed one evening and got in late. But it was clear from the explanation on how to get in and where to set up.
