We came to this magical place to found a self-reliant, intentional eco-community when I retired from corporate life in 2006. It's called the Village on Sewanee Creek, named after the creek 800 feet below the bluff where we are located. There are now a dozen homesteads here and a small thriving community. 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. Who knows, you may decide to stay. 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.

Grant and Becky were SO sweet! We loved staying here. The cabin was so cute, and the hike down to the waterfall is an absolute MUST! We will recommend anyone wanting to stay in this area to check out this site. Thank you Grant and Becky!

Grants place was the perfect stop on the way down from Wisconsin to Florida- the waterfalls on site were incredible and there’s plenty of land to hike on. The city of Tracy is really cool as well and was fun to explore in. The hosts are welcoming and you can tell they enjoy meeting the people that come through.

Grant was an amazing host and we had a great time staying at his campground. Plenty of good hiking in the area and we loved learning about the fairies!

Our stay was truly magical. We enjoyed sleeping beside the waterfall and being surrounded by the serenity of nature’s bliss. Hiking to the bottom of Miller Falls is a must!

Escape to a wooed retreat.
We enjoyed visiting Grant's property for our 5-month old son's first camping adventure. As experienced campers - with dogs, we love to find a secluded primative site where we can let the dogs run off-leash and enjoy the solitude of nature. Grant's property and specifically the primative site was great for this. Grant greeted us at the house, and showed us to the property. He was welcoming and gave us the lay of the land as well as the history behind it, including the stories of the fairies who live on site. We were too late in the season to enjoy the expansive views of the valley, and too early in the season to enjoy the abundance of fairies, but the wooded site was perfect(one fairy seen). We didn't venture far off property to hike(many great options nearby-including fantastic restaurants), but you don't need to with the falls on property. We did wish the trail to the second falls (down by the creek), and cave were better marked, but it added to the adventure. Incredible that Miller Falls is on private land, and you explore it as if it was your own! Knowing we were with our 5-month old, Grant added confidence in the chance of rain. Instructions are easy to follow, and experience positive. It was good to have 4-wheel drive for the trail to the primative site, but when dry, not needed. We DO want to come back for the glamping tent - right near the falls and such a gorgeous set up.

Outdoor covered kitchen + Yurtle
Intentional and peaceful
Grant was an excellent host. The property and Yurtle with an outdoor kitchen, was beautiful., It is perfect for a couple or a group of family and friends, designed to entertain. There are plenty of hiking trails and a private waterfall. It’s a short drive into Tracy City if you forgot any item to cook. I loved that Grant has been very intentional with his property and designs, integrating recycled objects into his properties. There is no internet but can be accessed close to the road in the event you need contact for emergency or checking in briefly. I would recommend any of his housing options.

Beautiful Tree House
Grant and Becky were great hosts; checked in seeing if we needed anything. Grant took us to the fairy tree which the kids loved hearing about. Thank you for letting us enjoy your beautiful tree house!! It was a great vacation to be away from the hustle and bustle of Chicago.

Grant was an amazing host! He was available to take us down to the treehouse so we didn’t get lost and gave us a tour. He designed and built most everything on their property and his passion shows! You can really tell he loves what he does which I so appreciate! He made himself available for anything we may need throughout our stay. The treehouse was incredible! Clean and cozy and private! A great place to go as an intro to camping if you don’t want to dive right into tent life.

We loved our short stay at the treehouse! This is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful pieces of private property that we have ever seen. The host are amazing people and a pleasure to speak with. The site offers much privacy and a great back drop to any getaway!

Breathtaking
We had the best time at Grant’s place! The Beech Treehouse was the perfect nature getaway we needed. Grant gave us a whole walkthrough of the place and the beautiful waterfall and creek all located straight in his backyard! The best part was being able to lay on the breezeway and listen to the waterfall and nature around us. Definitely want to come back and stay longer next time! Thank you Grant and Becky!

It was awesome! Very clean and the waterfall is beautiful. The trampoline tree tent is really neat, but if you are camping in the colder months make sure to bring plenty of warm sleeping bags and blankets to lay on top of since it gets cold from underneath. We definitely want to come back in the summer!!

Amazing and unique location
The treehouse was absolutely amazing. It is extremely unique and the deck that overlooks the drop off with the waterfall sound all night was perfect. The additional trails were amazing and easily accessible. It feels like you are in the middle of nowhere but you have conveniences of grocery and restaurants within 15 to 20 minutes. I would highly recommend this location for your next stay.

Disconnect and Unwind
We booked a weekend getaway on the Primitive Property campsite and we had an absolutely amazing time! Grant was very sweet and welcoming, and only a phone call away if we needed anything! Hiking around the site was incredibly beautiful! We wanted a weekend of disconnect and adventure and that’s exactly what we got staying here! My only complain is that we didn’t book an extra night or two. 10/10 recommended, thanks Grant and Becky for having us!

CONEX eco-container cabin
Container home
Huge window in dining/living room area puts you right inside the rolling woods. There was nothing we needed-they really think of everything! However, the backside of the space is their carport so you do hear that. I’d like to try the glamping tent-it sits atop the waterfall!

AMAZING PLACE!!!
Just had an Amazing 2 day stay at the Beech Treehouse. Everything was wonderful! The falls were beautiful, the treehouse was clean and had Everything we needed. Shower was awesome, bed was comfortable. Grant took my daughter and I riding on the side by side.. we toured the other sites and he told us a very special fairy story that we will remember for years to come. Thank y'all for the kindness 💓 we will definitely be back! TIP: Be sure and book directly from their website (you will avoid fees)! TIP: bring chairs for around the fire (we almost forgot ours) :) If your hot natured, you might wanna bring a fan.. we stayed cool enough- the falls do provide a nice breeze at PM, but summer months could be hot. They have heaters. *There is a sav-a-lot + FRED'S down the road & a new DGeneral Marketplace- (which is down a bit further.)Just had an Amazing 2 day stay at the Beech Treehouse.

Glamper on Miller’s Falls
Spring break at its best
The glamper was perfect! Private, perfect get away to everyday life. We enjoyed exploring the property and its serenity and finding all the falls and cave (didn’t quite make it to the cave) explored the local fiery gizzard trail which is beautiful and we will definitely be back. The Millers were wonderful hosts.

The cabin was a perfect getaway for us. The heat worked well. Loved the fire pit. Grant took us around the property and we went hiking an explored it ourselves and saw the waterfalls.

We had such a great time on Grant's land!! A group of 13 of us came down for a 30th bday weekend and this place was perfect. Grant was extremely helpful, responsive and very friendly. It was easy to tent camp and car camp + the kitchen had everything we needed to make a big dinner. We will certainly be back!

Very private. Incredible waterfall with a trail leading behind it. Very quiet at night with beautiful night sky (thanks to no light pollution).
