45 private acres on our homestead for you to roam. Eight 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 from up-purposed materials. Featuring: * Two gorgeous waterfalls. Each of our stay-sites are located within about 100 yards of Fifty-foot tall Miller’s Falls. * Two large caves at the end of a short, but rugged hike. * A fairy Village filled with Hollow Oak Tree Fairy cottages and bio-luminescent trees that 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. If you love nature and the outdoors, this is the best place to celebrate it.

THANK YOU TO ALL OUR PAST CUSTOMERS 😊##### We are closed for the season######## Brand name Bell 16 foot round tent built on sturdy cedar deck on top of a cluster of large limestone rocks in beautiful grove of mostly Maple and Oak trees. My oldest son Ben, and I built this campsite in January of 2024, from both our visions, and tried to make it a truly magical setting. Ben was also featured in two episodes of Building Off The Grid, on the Discovery Channel, so he put quite a bit of expertise and knowledge into our site. I love hosting and decorating, so the interior of the tent is constantly changing. Also features cedar outhouse with composting toilet, cedar bridges built across rocks, as well as two chair hammock area, picnic table and gas grill. Firepit has natural log seating and several more folding chairs, pillows and outdoor blankets stored in waterproof chest. Tent features a queen size bed, adult size folding cot stored under bed, adult size sleeping pad, 2 upholstered chairs set up as reading/relaxing nook, coffee maker, and Yeti battery pack for electrical and charging needs. We will provide drinking water and extra water for washing up. We supply all linens and dishware needs. First Aid Kit is provided, but we are just a short walk through the woods if you need anything. Nestled on 1 acre of our 10 acre hobby farm, which includes Peacocks, chickens, 4 cats, 5 Collies and a Weimaraner named Maggie, as well as a couple of goats, including a very friendly dwarf goat named Pickles. You may also see wildlife, such as deer and turkey, strolling down the meadow on the lower part of your site. Strands of lighting and battery candles provide a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere in the evenings. Coolers available if you need one. You can bring up to 2 extra tents for families looking for an out door experience . For additional fees we can provide you with firewood, fresh eggs, homemade breads, cookies, locally sourced honey, and ask us about some home cooked meals!

1 night at The Falls at Sewanee Creek

We only stayed one night at the tent but loved every minute! Grant called before we arrived to give us directions to the site so we would be prepared when we arrived in the dark. Everything was easy to find, just as he said. The trampoline was more comfortable than we expected! Bring extra towels in case of condensation. The area under the trampoline was perfect for food prep and hanging out. Above all, the waterfall was BEAUTIFUL! The short “hike” from the tent to the falls was easy for us and our German Shepherd to navigate. We had a wonderful time- can’t wait to return!

We stayed at Jordan's property while seeing a concert at the caverns. This camping experience was really great! We arrived in the dark, but Jordan gave great instructions to find the sites in the back of the property and left lights on near the tent so we could see to set up our stuff. Despite rain all night, we were very comfortable and dry in the tent provided. We would stay again and would recommend this site to others!

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 On The Rocks Campsite

The campsite was very nice, with great personal touches and everything we needed during our stay. There were strings of lights hung throughout the main camp area, which was great for getting around at night. The large tent had everything one might need, from cookware and utensils, blankets, seating, as well as a bed AND a fan for cooling off. The entire setting was very pretty and relaxing, with the tent on a deck perched over large rocks with thoughtful mulched pathways throughout. It was a very nice place and our hosts were very easy to get in contact with, making sure we had a great time. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great campsite with extra perks.

We found this place online and we are so glad we did! A short girls trip with daughters and their kids, this location made us feel like we were secluded, yet safe. Miss Judy had so many extra touches and a cozy atmosphere. We also got a visit from their peacocks in the morning! We would definitely stay again. Great site and great hosts!

Weekend Trip to The Shady Grove @CaveValleyGetaway!

By far one of the best camp experiences I've had! The tents provided were a huge upgrade from my small 2-person tent—spacious, clean, and super comfortable. We stayed at Site #2 with the queen beds, and it was perfect. There was shade all day, a constant breeze, and the layout of the land offered great privacy from neighbors. The inflatable mattresses included were a great touch and made the nights extra comfortable. Compared to the other campsites, I definitely prefer The Cave Valley—it’s officially on my favorites list! Jordan was a fantastic host—super responsive, welcoming, and just an all-around cool person to interact with. 🧭 Pro Tip for Future Campers: Come prepared—bring plenty of water, food, battery storage, and a basic first aid kit. The site is well set up, but being prepared makes the experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back—with more friends next time!

Weekend Trip to On The Rocks Campsite

This is a wonderful place for a family getaway. The large rocks on which the yurt is set make the location truly spectacular. I highly recommend purchasing firewood to enjoy making s’mores together. My five-year-old daughter loved visiting the dogs on the property, as well as the chickens, peacocks, roosters, and goats. In the evening, the lights surrounding the yurt create a beautiful, relaxing atmosphere.

On the Rocks is such a rare and stunning place to camp! We really enjoyed the cozy fall setup inside the tent — it felt so welcoming and thoughtful. The fresh pumpkin bread was absolutely delicious, and the eggs are a must-try… so tasty!! We had a great time exploring through the rocks and woods, and even though the site is right beside a road, there wasn’t much traffic at all during the weekend. It truly felt peaceful and semi-private. This was such a refreshing and relaxing place to stay and spend quality time together. We’re so glad we found this gem and can’t wait to come back!

We had a great time staying here during our trip to the Caverns. It was easy walking distance, and we appreciated having the camping gear set up for us after flying in from the west coast. Cannot wait to stay again and party in the caves

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.

We had a wonderful experience at this site! The hosts are incredibly friendly and helpful. Their little pup Sugar is a sweetheart too. The site is tidy with excellent privacy. It's perfect to splash in the creek and marvel at the fireflies. Be sure to bring bug repellent and great hiking shoes. The path to the waterfall has difficult terrain, but worth it to get there! Thank you for a relaxing getaway! Note: T-Mobile has very little service, but sometimes that's nice. Head into town to the bakery for signal.

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!

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.
