The Falls at Sewanee Creek
11 sites · Lodging, 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.

Gizzard Creek Farm
2 sites · Tents9 acres · Sequatchie, TN
Friends and I moved to this place in 2017 from Southern California. We got tired of the rat race, the crowded freeways and the wildfires. We wanted a bigger, natural space, a more free way of life and we were in desperate need of water!!
Our vision is to turn this few acres into a community, a place where our friends can come to retreat, relax, eat, get healthy, have fun and feel welcomed.
Looking to make new friends to have fun and get a few acres of land ready for gardening and living spaces!
A small fruit orchard was planted with medicinal plants and herbs and is constantly added to every growing season.
We provide fresh eggs and herbs for breakfast (seasonal) and firewood for your campfire!
Learn more about this land:
Feeling Adventurous?
Come, camp and enjoy the beautiful, natural environment Gizzard Creek Farm has to offer!
We love this property because there are so many animals and plants that are found no where else in the world but here on the Cumberland Plateau.
This gorgeous space is backed up against tens of thousands of acres of forest and the South Cumberland State Park is practically in our backyard..
And it’s wild out here! There are bears, mountain lions, deer, fox, owls and turkey that live here, and there are NO FENCES! Camp at your own risk!
Foster Falls State Park is 3mi south and accessible on highway 41 or by hiking south from the property.
Lots of outdoor activities such as climbing, hiking, biking, boating, paddle boarding, whitewater rafting, skydiving, hang gliding, and motorcycle riding are all in the area. Chattanooga is 30 minutes away, Nashville is 1.5 hours.
This area is rich in history! Union troops marched toward Confederate troops nearby during the Civil War.
We offer firewood at your campsite, composting toilets, hot showers and WiFi. Digital Nomads Welcome!
