We offer Farm-to-Table meals for all our guests and we love accommodating large groups with our different sites and are happy to help plan youre group event.

We would love to share everything this peaceful place has with you. Waking up by the river is rejuvenating and is the perfect way to start your day as you reconnect with nature.

River dining Sitting on the river bank enjoying a farm-to-table meal can be romantic or just plain fun. We offer a limited amount of lunches by the river as well as candlelit dinners. Just let us know what you’re thinking and how many people you have in your party, and we’ll work with you to make your perfect event happen! Special events If you would like to hold a special event, such as a birthday party, wedding, or family reunion at our farm, we would love to make that happen. Special event availability is on a very limited basis with a select number of dates set aside for these types of events. Let us know what you have in mind and if we have the availability, we’ll work closely with you to make your dream event come true.

Weekend Trip to Nolichuckey Bluffs Cozy Campsites

Pam is a gracious and welcoming host that offered to help us with issues we encountered on our quest. See, we were camping there to begin prepping the land we had just purchased down the road to bring our camper onsite. To our surprise, we had not only electric and water available, but sewer as well. Very helpful! We got to jam out a little bit to a wedding band across the road on Saturday night. And most importantly, we also made a few local camping friends that we will likely be in touch with as things move along in our journey that could prove invaluable. Appreciate you guys and we won't forget your generosity.
