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.

Outdoor Kitchen and Camp Area

The Outdoor Kitchen camp was wonderful! It is a very shady spot. We LOVED the outdoor kitchen. So convenient. The outdoors shower was great! Composting toilet came in handy. Loved it and hope to bring back group in the fall.

Treetent Campsite

Camping with a twist

My son and I, along with our 2 dogs thoroughly enjoyed our stay at treetent site. The hosts were excellent....communicative but not in an invasive way. We explored the waterfall...difficult hike but all of us enjoyed the challenge. Thanks to our host, we also enjoyed Grundy's lake, swimming and scenic views. We cooked steak over the fire, played cards, laughed. And slept on the super cool trampoline bed suspended in the trees. So unique. I would recommend bringing a ramp of some sort if you have bigger dogs; we had a time getting our 85 pound lab up to the tent. The compost toilet had no smell, like wow! We would definitely stay here again! We would love to see the waterfall flowing!
