Welcome to this enchanted forest retreat. I'm a chef and with my husband who is a musician, we get to live on this 50 acre mystical wonderland, Forest Gumption. Just one hour east of Nashville and 5 miles to Center Hill Lake, here you can enjoy everything our beautiful property has to offer, including world class hiking trails with diverse rustic camping options and RV hookups. The fruit trees, garden, and breathtaking sunrises and sunsets make for an excellent backdrop to experience the breakfast, midday meal, or farm to table dinner offerings, upon request.

Best HipCamp experience ever!
Best hip camp experience ever, with amazing hosts! Our family of five had a wonderful time tent camping on David and Anna Grace’s property. They were incredibly warm and accommodating hosts. The countryside is beautiful, and there are some pretty amazing perks including a 1 mile hike that passes by a very cool cavern, and ends at an old vintage treehouse at the top of the hill. Also to our delight, David is a professional musician, and Anna Grace is a professional chef. Anna Grace prepared an amazing six course breakfast for us to eat at the campfire for a very reasonable extra fee, and David treated us to some complementary songs around the campfire. We were welcomed with some delicious home made cookies when we arrived. Also they allowed us to use the restroom facilities there. They have a cute little camper on the premises that is available to rent. It’s not brand new by any means, but it’s cozy and clean and would be a great place to stay if the weather is too cold for tent camping. There’s an old zip line and tire swing, and a friendly pooch, all of which were big hits with our kids. :-)

Magical. Fun. Relaxing. Wonderful.
Magical! This place is amazing! Anna Grace and David were incredibly warm and hospitable. Our stay exceeded our expectations. The cave is more like a cavern, and our kids loved exploring it. The zip line and tree house were also big hits with the kids. The area is very quiet and calm with almost no road noise. It's a great place for families or a romantic getaway. As part of the experience Anna Grace prepared dinner for us over an open fire; it was like eating in a gourmet restaurant. David provided music and we were well entertained the entire stay. I highly recommend this HipCamp to anyone. I can't say enough wonderful things about our experience.

Ayr Farms is a fantastic place to visit. Great location and beautiful scenery. Anna and David are some awesome people. Highly recommend taking the opportunity to treat yourself to experience what they have to offer. Better hurry because word is spreading fast and there booking will fill up fast. We have already booked our next two visits.

Anna and David were awesome hosts-very accommodating and super nice! The property is beautiful and there's an awesome cave to explore if you're up for an adventure. We were treated to some of Anna's delicious, homemade chocolate chip cookies 🤤 It was just an overnight stop for us on our trip out west from the east coast, but we would definitely come back!

Awesome spot for adventure and rest
We had an amazing time here relaxing and exploring the property with our 2 boys. Anna & co. are amazing hosts, making sure we had everything we needed the entire time and delivering home-baked goods often. Anna is a chef and we indulged in a few of her home-made meals as an upgrade to our experience. They were all AMAZING! We ate al fresco and watched the beautiful sunset over the mountains. I highly recommend this spot for the food and the scenery!

Had a lovely time camping here! Some great wildlife sounds to lull me to sleep, as well as a huge open field to enjoy the sky scape.
