Faye's place is located on Rock Creek Road, ten minutes from the amenities of Tullahoma, Tn. The area is agricultural, but maintains a majority of natural beauty. Our property is 90 acres, consisting of fields, hardwood forests, and Rock Creek. The campsite is next to small waterfalls that flow past soft grassy banks, under the shade of oak trees. The creek is wide and shallow and the waterfalls create a tranquil ambiance. We have chickens (no roosters), cats (only 3), and an abundance of natural wildlife. Feel at home at our home, where rural hospitality is our standard.

Just minutes from downtown Huntsville, Monte Sano State Park, rises more than 1,600 feet above sea level.
In Spanish, Monte Sano means “Mountain of Health” and is known for spectacular views, fresh mountain air, fall colors, and mineral springs. Guests can enjoy 20 miles of hiking trails, beautiful Japanese Gardens, a Planetarium and Lodge, and all of the attractions, shops, and restaurants of the one-and-only, “Rocket City” Huntsville, Alabama.
Combining luxury and the great outdoors, our extra spacious completely furnished Safari Tents give large families or groups of friends the extra space they need to glamp in comfort.
What Is Glamping?
At Timberline Glamping, We believe that luxury and comfort should not be sacrificed when spending time outside.
You will have a very comfortable bed with proper linens.
You will have places to sit, places to eat, and places to charge your phone.
You will still be able to wake up and have a fresh cup of coffee from a Keurig Coffee Maker.
We do provide heaters in the winter and air conditioners in the summer, but remember this is a tent with a canvas exterior. The heating and cooling will be just enough to take the edge off, but will not have the same effect of a home.
Most Importantly, you will have a chance to re-imagine the world around you as you make special memories with family and friends.
If you are on the fence and have more questions, check out our FAQ page or please reach out to us and ask questions. It is better that you know before you go!

This beautiful place has been in my family for 3 generations. Since I was a child I loved having campfires and hiking. I used to imagine cabins speckling its landscape and story’s being told by travelers from far off places! Now that I am owner I can and will build those dreams and share them with as many folks as come to visit us! There’s 60 acres of hills for hiking a peaceful creek for meditation or just stick your feet in! A beautiful bamboo grove where we plan to build a camping platform in the very near future and you’ll be able to sleep in tha bamboo forest! We’ve come a long way in the last year, we have platforms, tents we can set up as glampers for those that love the idea but don’t want to have to set it all up. There’s several old buildings and unfinished projects left behind from my father we have a series of small cabins we will be building with them over the next 2 years it’ll be called “Boho Bottom”. We also host events, so far they are few and small but so much fun!! There is currently one communal bathroom with several more due to be built in the next year or so. As campers come the profit will help with future site development. Look forward to more updates as things develop!! We look forward to camp with you!

A few neighbors' houses are somewhat visible from the bus. Neighborhood noises including dogs/cars/roosters/etc are also possible, as are the sounds of wildlife! We've seen deer, heard bobcats, and are stunned by the variety of birdsong we hear in the mornings.
We are in the process of restoring our land. Shoes are required on the lot, as there could be remaining debris from the previous owners. For the same reason, we also require guests to stick to the gravel and mulched areas and paths.
Other things to note
The bus is visible from the road, however we are one of only 3 houses on this street, so traffic is minimal (though it can be fast).
🐾 Pet Policy
We’re happy to welcome well-behaved dogs! There is a $50 pet fee per stay to help cover additional cleaning and upkeep so we can continue offering a fresh, comfortable space for every guest (and their furry friends 🐶).
Please make sure to add your pet to your reservation when booking, or let us know before check-in so we can update your stay accordingly.
We kindly ask that pets:
Are house-trained
Stay off furniture and beds
Are never left unattended inside the home unless crated
Thank you for helping us keep the space enjoyable for all guests!!

The cabins at Monte Sano are great! Each one has a double bed and one twin bed, kitchen, couch, and table. They are just what you need because you will want to spend all your time on the porch or walking around. There are some with screened in porches and some with just a regular porch so check when you call if you have a preference. Some are also dog friendly which is great! There are a bunch of trails you can hike around and it’s just beautiful up there. A personal favorite trail is Stone Cuts Trail. It’s about a 2.5 mile, moderate loop.
