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.

Hike miles of trails through deep canyons, caves, waterfalls, creeks and cascades right here on our property or in any of eight State Parks within 30 minutes. It’s a nature lover’s paradise. At the end of an exciting day, chill out under the waterfall, then regroup in a hot shower under an up-purposed Satellite Dish roof. So many creative touches to this unique treehouse! Cook a gourmet meal in the well-equipped kitchen, barbecue on the deck or do s’mores around the private fire pit. Then retire to the upstairs loft in a queen bed.

Grant and Becky's campsite is a delightful escape into nature, offering a peaceful retreat with its scenic waterfall and thoughtfully designed structures such as the meditation yurt and tree tent. The hosts are praised for their hospitality and responsiveness, ensuring a memorable stay for both small and large groups. Guests appreciate the unique touches like the fairy forest and outdoor kitchen, which add to the charm of the site. While the setting is largely positive, the occasional mention of road conditions suggests a need for vehicles with good clearance, especially in wet weather.

Fairy Woodland Primitive Camping

We had a wonderful time at Grant and Becky's primitive camping site!! It was the perfect time to see the mountain laurel in bloom and the falls were full. The fairy forest is one of a kind and such a cool experience as well!

Group trip ·

BASECAMP Outdoor kitchen+Yurtle

We stayed here with a group of 13 and had an incredible experience! The campsite is well-equipped and thoughtfully laid out—our favorite part was the covered kitchen area with plenty of seating, which made meals together easy and fun, even with a large group. There’s a beautiful waterfall just a short walk away, and the meditation yurt was such a peaceful, unique touch that made the whole stay feel even more special. The hosts were super friendly and incredibly responsive, which made coordinating everything a breeze. Highly recommend this spot for group getaways, retreats, or anyone looking to connect with nature while still having great amenities.

We loved our stay! We had a lot of unexpected rain during our stay, but hanging out in the Yurtle was so fun! The property provided ample space to explore and the outdoor shower was wonderful! We will definitely stay again when in the area.
