Relaxation, foraging, stargazing, lounging, and hiking! The property is in Cumberland County, TN, is mostly wooded, and the Caney Fork River is accessible by about a 1/2-mile hike (round-trip) on the property. The land is a welcoming place and can offer an amazing experience for relaxing, lounging, hiking, etc. There are two waterfalls on the property which are most magnificent just after a rainfall- one is a fairly easy hike and the other is a bit more of a challenge which will take you down a sloped path and down the river's edge. The total hike is only about 250 feet but is sloped at about 26°. Considering the short distance paired with the terrain, I would classify the walk to the larger waterfall as moderate. A short walk from all sites, is a large open area that is perfect for stargazing. The space will eventually be an orchard but currently has only 1 apple tree- so, there is plenty of room for lounge chairs or a blanket :) Local Secret: There is an interesting waterfall about 3 miles away- Jeep crawl friendly- local graffiti, beautiful and accessible for walking across in the water, and great for pictures. I'm happy to provide the location- just let me know in the booking details. Sparta, TN is just 30 minutes away and is a small town full of interesting shops, restaurants, and of course, waterfalls! https://www.spartatn.gov/ Additional info: Pets are welcome as long as they remain on leash. The location is outside of the nearest town by about 25 minutes. A Dollar General and gas station are about a 10-minute drive. Suggestions: 1. Bug spray may be helpful- especially during the warmer months. No pesticides are used on the property because we forage edibles and medicinal herbs. Pro Tip: Wondercide is a great choice for a pet friendly bug spray and comes in lots of scents. 2. Bring firewood if you plan to cook over the fire. 3. Bring water if you are opposed to drinking well water. There is an outdoor faucet close to the campsites for well water. This is a bring in, take out experience...trash, towels, sanitary waste, etc. There is an additional $10 charge for leaving litter- this includes cigarettes. I live onsite and am available for questions most anytime.

RV/tent site · Sleeps 4 · Vehicles under 8 ft

Caney Fork River is on the property! Foraging edibles, herbs, medicinal plants, and mushrooms can also be found on the property. This primitive camp site is nestled in the forest with a large moss patch just behind the camping area. The campsite has a 10x8 concrete pad, space for a tent, and fire pit. A tent will fit either on the concrete pad or on ground near the pad. There is also adequate space for two hammocks on the site. It is a primitive site but does have access to a water faucet. Site terrain is nearly flat but slopes a bit. This site is secluded from other campsites just off of a private road. Campers have walking access to the Caney Fork River on property by way of a 10 minute moderate hike. Parking for one vehicle is available- if you have more than one vehicle, accommodation can be arranged. Car campers and small RVs (pop-ups or teardrops) will also work on the site. The land is a welcoming place and can offer an amazing experience for relaxing, lounging, hiking, etc. There are two waterfalls on the property which are most magnificent just after a rainfall- one is a fairly easy hike just a few minutes from the site and the other is a bit more of a challenge which will take you down a sloped path and down the river edge. The total hike is only about 250 feet but is sloped at about 26°. Considering the short distance paired with the terrain, I would classify the walk as moderate. Just beside the camping space there is a large open area that is perfect for stargazing. The space will eventually be an orchard but currently has only 1 apple tree- so, there is plenty of room for lounge chairs or a blanket :) Additional info: Pets are welcome as long as they remain on leash.

If you need ideas for camping/composting toilets, feel free to send me a message and I'll give you some tips. I live onsite and am available for questions most anytime.

Stargazing, foraging, and short hikes to the Caney Fork river are all on the property! This glamping space includes a tiny house with a sleeping loft and attached bathhouse.

The kitchen has a full-sized fridge, a hot plate, microwave, and toaster oven. There is a television downstairs and wi-fi is available. The bathhouse has a full shower, sink, and composting toilet (instructions included :) There is a deck connecting the house to the bathhouse which also includes a dining table and an outdoor shower overlooking the forest. Part of the deck and a small side yard is fenced for a pet friendly experience. There are a few other campsites on the property, but this space is situated in a mostly secluded location. The front entrance is through a privacy fence to limit view from the dirt road. The space is serene and offers a place for fun, rest, and/or relaxation.

Jill was such a lovely host and took the time to greet me and show me around her gorgeous property making me very welcome. I slept peacefully in my hammock and took a hike to the river located at the base of the property.

If you like privacy and nature, this is a good choice. The hosts are helpful and responsive. For an additional fee you can have access to an impressive bathhouse with a composting toilet, sink and shower (I did not try the shower).
