I loved that Muletown Farm is off the beaten path. It is quiet, peaceful, and we enjoyed the animals and the firepit also. They offer full hook up, just a note, the sewer is not on site, you will need to unhook and drive to the sewer to dump your tanks. We did have a small issue with that as we need a 14' clearance and there were tree branches that were in the way. Within 2 days they had someone come and cut them back. Communication was great, we would definitely stay here again.

Weekend Trip to Muletown Farm

We enjoyed this site. Google told us the wrong drive so make sure you choose the drive with the clearly marked sign. The farm was so pretty and quiet and we loved looking at the chickens and the horse.

We loved camping on Holly’s property. We had beautiful views, it was quiet, and there was tons of room for our kids and dog to run around. On top of that, you’re only a few minutes from town, so it’s the best of both worlds. Holly was great and communicated really well when there was a scheduling conflict. We would happily stay again!

1 night at Shadow Ridge Retreat

My fiance' and I decided to try camping out since I had never pitched a tent and camped, it did rain the night we camped out. But to me it made the night better listening to the rain. It added to the romance. They supplied us with playing cards, two trash bags and a cute card with a bible verse! They were really sweet and just starting out. Just for reference it is behind their place of residence and it's very secluded. We seen deer. If you are looking for a perfect get away, and a little bit of nature and wildlife. This place is it! I totally would recommend.

We had such a wonderful time staying here! The location was beautiful! It was really helpful having the fridge, freezer, and microwave available to use. We got hit with a nasty lightning storm when we were there but just sat out under the patio next to the barn and waited it out there. It was great having that as a back up when weather got bad.

Weekend Trip to WOLRV@TN River

A little slice of paradise! Ed and Casey's place was really a hidden gem. The view of the river and boats going by was great entertainment. The "beach" they had with smooth white sand was very enjoyable. There's even a community playground for the kiddos and boat launch. The community was very welcoming with people waving and lots of smiles. We will definitely be returning in the future and after talking with our hosts we are excited about improvements they have planned for the future. Thanks Ed and Casey!
