Welcome to our serene and rejuvenating private getaway nestled within 42 acres of forested beauty. The 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 I hope you 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 prarie 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, propane 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!

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!

Camped here before in the fall. This time, they had live music on Saturday night. It got a bit rowdy, but the band was done by 10:00 PM and it settled down quick. Still a wonderful spot and we will be going back. Just a head’s up for families with children.
The band was really good, just not a peaceful scenario.

My absolute favorite hipcamp I have stayed at!! I stayed for 3 weeks and it was an absolute experience. Sarah is such a gem! I enjoyed my time around her so much. She was accommodating and made sure I was comfortable. She had so much interesting information to share about her goats and even gave me some soap and cheese She made (both were absolutely incredible!). I truly felt at home. The property is stunning, and there is as much privacy as you want or as many companions as you want in her friendly animals on the property! The goats and pups are the sweetest things and were so much fun to hang out with!! I will certainly be back and am so glad to have crossed paths with this beautiful place and person!

1 night at Little Barn Cabin At Fowl Territory
We stayed in a really cute, small barn-style space that clearly had a lot of handmade character and charm. You can tell a lot of it was built with a personal touch, which gives it a unique feel. That said, the ladder leading up to the loft was very petite and a bit difficult to use. Overall, it has potential and a lot of charm! We loved the plants and garden.

Sarah's little farm is wonderful! We had such an amazing trip. We set our trailer up next to her barn which has electric and water. We had a view of the empty fields behind her property, just beautiful. We were able to help with milking the goats and feeding the babies too! Sarah was the nicest host and very laid back. Our 5 and 7 year olds had the best time! Sarah even played a little ball with my son. This was exactly what I needed after a stressful few weeks. I can't wait to go back!!

Wow, this property is an absolute gem! After a grueling week of traveling, we desperately needed to unwind and found the perfect place to do so. Nestled in the serene field, our truck camper provided a sense of seclusion and tranquility. The breathtaking views were simply awe-inspiring, and the host was incredibly accommodating and friendly. The morning after our camping trip, my son spent hours playing with the adorable baby goats, which was a delightful experience for both of us. We couldn’t express how much we needed this place to rejuvenate our spirits. It’s definitely on our list of places to return to the next time we’re in the area.
